Trial summary

All marketed influenza vaccines are injected by the intramuscular (IM) route. This study will test whether an influenza vaccine is effective when injected by a route other than into the muscle. In order to prove this, the amount of antibodies in the blood will be measured before and after vaccination. Read more about this study

About this study

All marketed influenza vaccines are injected by the intramuscular (IM) route. This study will test whether an influenza vaccine is effective when injected by a route other than into the muscle. In order to prove this, the amount of antibodies in the blood will be measured before and after vaccination. In addition, the safety of both influenza vaccines will be tested by evaluating all serious reactions occurring after vaccination. The vaccine injected in this study is similar to the sponsor's marketed intramuscular influenza vaccine (Vaxigrip). In addition, the safety of both influenza vaccines administered by different routes will be tested by evaluating all adverse events and especially all serious reactions.

Primary Objective: To demonstrate and compare the immune response of an influenza vaccine after a single dose when administered by different routes.

Secondary Objectives: To describe the compliance of the immunogenicity of the vaccine with the European Medicine Agency (EMEA) after the first injection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine and Inactivated, split-virion, influenza virus in people with Orthomyxoviridae Infections and Influenza, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 4 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To provide information concerning the immunogenicity of influenza vaccination. (time frame: 21 Days and 2 Years post-vaccination 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00258934, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jan 2014.
