About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Reactogenicity and Immunogenicity of Different Doses of Trivalent Baculovirus-expressed Influenza HA Vaccine in Adults With Non-Hodgkin's B-cell Lymphoma: A Phase II, Double-Blind Pilot Study

The purpose of this research is to compare reactions and antibody responses following receipt of different doses of the experimental influenza vaccine or standard influenza vaccine.

Read the detailed description

Influenza is a common respiratory infection caused by viruses. Epidemics of influenza occur each winter and are responsible for more than 20,000 deaths each year in the United States. Most of these deaths occur among elderly persons and among people of all ages who suffer from a chronic disease. Standard influenza vaccines may not be as effective at protecting cancer patients as the general population from getting influenza. This research study will test an experimental influenza vaccine consisting of the important flu virus protein that stimulates protection. It is produced by genetic techniques in cultured cells and allows higher doses of the protein to be used. Influenza vaccines made this way have been given to humans in the past and the vaccine was well tolerated. It is expected that higher doses of this vaccine can be given with minimal reactions, as well as whether such a vaccine stimulates higher levels of infection-fighting proteins (or antibodies) in the blood than standard doses of the licensed influenza vaccine. This study will evaluate the reactogenicity and immunogenicity of a recombiant influenza vaccine in non-Hodgkin's B cell lymphoma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine and Trivalent Baculovirus-expressed Influenza HA vaccine in people with Influenza, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 1 site in United States.

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 6 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 5 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 5 Dec 2014.
