About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Dose Escalation Study of a Vero Cell-Derived, Whole Virus H5N1 Influenza Vaccine in Healthy Volunteers Aged 18 to 45 Years

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of 4 different doses of adjuvanted and non-adjuvanted mock-up pandemic influenza vaccine. Subjects will be enrolled sequentially into 3 study cohorts with 4 escalating doses of H5N1 hemagglutininin antigen (3.75 µg adjuvanted, 7.5 µg adjuvanted/non-adjuvanted, 15 µg adjuvanted/non-adjuvanted, 30 µg adjuvanted). Starting with the lowest dose level, subjects will receive 2 vaccinations (21 days apart) at the dose to which they were assigned. Subjects will be monitored for safety and for antibody response to the vaccine. A data safety monitoring board will review and evaluate all the safety data obtained for a dose level before allowing administration of the next (higher) dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Whole virion, Vero cell-derived influenza vaccine containing H5N1 HA antigen in people with Influenza, run by Alachua Government Services, Inc. at 3 sites in 2 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 6 inclusion and 18 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 9 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Singapore, Austria. 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 combined 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.

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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00349141, 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 9 Oct 2015.
