About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label, Phase I Clinical Trial Comparing the Safety, Reactogenicity, and Immunogenicity of Immunization With Inactivated Influenza A/H5N1 Vaccine Administered by the Intradermal or the Intramuscular Route Among Healthy Adults

The purpose of this research study is to compare how the body reacts to different strengths of an H5N1 flu vaccine when given by different routes of injection (injection into the skin or into the muscle). It will also compare how antibodies (proteins produced by the body's immune system that recognize and help fight infections and other foreign substances in the body) are made after receiving the H5N1 flu vaccine. Participants will include 100 healthy adults, ages 18-40 years. Study procedures include blood samples and completing a memory aid documenting daily oral temperature and side effects for 7 days following each vaccination. Participants may be involved in the study for up to 13 months.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, randomized, open-label, dose-ranging, phase I comparative trial of intradermal (ID) and intramuscular (IM) injection with subvirion inactivated influenza A/H5N1 vaccine in healthy adults, 18 to 40 years old, inclusive. This study is designed to investigate the safety, reactogenicity, and dose-related immunogenicity of an investigational inactivated influenza A/H5N1 virus vaccine given by ID injection compared to IM injection. The primary objectives of this study are to: compare dose-related safety and reactogenicity profiles of ID and IM injection with subvirion inactivated influenza A/H5N1 vaccine among healthy young adults; compare the dose-related immunogenicity of subvirion inactivated influenza A/H5N1 vaccine given by ID with vaccine given by IM injection among healthy young adults 1 month after receipt of the second dose of vaccine; and provide information for the selection of the best dose levels for further studies. The secondary objectives of this study are to: evaluate dose-related immunogenicity and the percent of subjects responding approximately 1 and 7 months after the first vaccination; and evaluate the dose-related safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity following receipt of a third dose of vaccine administered 6-7 months after the second dose of vaccine. The study will have 2 comparison arms (IM and ID), and 2 dosage levels will be evaluated in each arm (4 vaccine groups total). Subjects will be randomized 1:1:1:1 (25 subjects in each group) to receive 2 doses 1 month apart of an inactivated influenza A/H5N1 vaccine containing 15 mcg or 45 mcg of H5 HA by the IM route; or one-fifth of the IM dose (3 mcg or 9 mcg) by the ID route. Subjects will maintain a memory aid recording oral temperature, and systemic and local adverse events for 7 days after each inoculation. Serum for immunogenicity evaluations will be obtained prior to first vaccination, at Day 0, prior to second vaccination, at Day 28, and on Day 56 and approximately Day 215 (7 months) after dose 1. This study is linked to DMID protocol 07-0022.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proportion of subjects in each vaccine group achieving a serum neutralizing antibody titer of 1:40 against the influenza A/H5N1 virus.

    Measured: Day 56.

  2. Geometric mean titer (GMT) and proportion of subjects achieving a 4-fold or greater increase in serum neutralizing or hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) antibody titer in each group.

    Measured: Day 56.

  3. Adverse event (AE) or serious adverse event (SAE) information (solicited in-clinic and via memory aids and periodic targeted physical assessments).

    Measured: Duration of study.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Geometric mean titer (GMT) and proportion of subjects achieving a 4-fold or greater increase in neutralizing antibody titers in each group 1 and 7 months after receipt of dose 1.

    Measured: Blood samples for serum assays will be collected prior to first dose on day 0, prior to second dose on day 28, and on days 56 and 215 after the first immunization.

  2. GMT and the proportion of subjects achieving a 4-fold or greater increase in HAI and neutralizing antibody titers in each group 1 month after receipt of a 3rd dose of vaccine administered approximately 6-7 months after the 2nd dose of vaccine.

    Measured: Blood samples for serum assays will be collected prior to first dose on day 0, prior to second dose on day 28, and on days 56 and 215 after the first immunization.

  3. Development of serum antibody responses against antigenically drifted variants of H5 influenza virus.

    Measured: Blood samples for serum assays will be collected prior to first dose on day 0, prior to second dose on day 28, and on days 56 and 215 after the first immunization.

  4. Geometric mean titer (GMT) and proportion of subjects achieving a 4-fold or greater increase in HAI and neutralizing antibody titers in each group 1 and 7 months after receipt of dose 1.

    Measured: Blood samples for serum assays will be collected prior to first dose on day 0, prior to second dose on day 28, and on days 56 and 215 after the first immunization.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Inactivated Influenza A Vaccine A/H5N1 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 7 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 3 Jun 2013. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Proportion of subjects in each vaccine group achieving a serum neutralizing antibody titer of 1:40 against the influenza A/H5N1 virus. (time frame: Day 56.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 3 Jun 2013.
