About this study

Official title: Open-Label Study of Intramuscular Inactivated Influenza A/H5N1 Vaccine in Healthy Children Aged 2 Years to 10 Years

This study may provide safety information on a flu vaccine given to children and may provide immunogenicity information to add to what was collected in a previous flu vaccine study. Participants will include 55 healthy children, ages 2-10, who participated in 04-077 and received a placebo injection instead of the flu vaccine or were incompletely immunized. The study has 2 purposes: to make sure there are no serious side effects in children and to see how the immune systems react to the vaccine. Study procedures include up to 4 study visits, up to 9 follow-up phone calls, 2 blood samples to be collected during visits 1 and 3, and up to 3 vaccine injections in the arm or thigh muscle. Parents will be given a memory aid card to record side effects, temperatures, and medications. Parents will have the option for the child to receive a 3rd dose of vaccine if offered, at month 6. This booster shot will require a 6-month visit and participation for an additional 6 months.

Read the detailed description

The recent emergence of novel influenza virus strains in human populations has encouraged efforts to develop vaccines for a potential pandemic. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety of intramuscular (IM) subvirion inactivated H5N1 vaccine in healthy children aged 2 through 10 years and to determine the immunogenicity profile of IM subvirion inactivated H5N1 vaccine in healthy children approximately 1 month following receipt of the second of 2 doses of vaccine. Study endpoints include: adverse event (AE) and serious adverse event (SAE) information (solicited in-clinic and via memory aids, concomitant medications, and periodic targeted physical assessments, as indicated); proportion of subjects achieving a serum hemagglutination inhibition antibody titer of 1:40 against the influenza A/H5N1 virus 28 days after receipt of second dose of vaccine (approximately Day 56); geometric mean titer and the frequency of 4-fold or greater increases in hemagglutination inhibition antibody titers 28 days after receipt of second dose of vaccine (approximately Day 56); and development of serum antibody responses against antigenically drifted variants of influenza H5N1 virus. This study is linked to DMID protocol 06-0072. Up to 55 healthy children, aged 2 through 10 years, who previously participated in DMID 04-077, will be eligible for enrollment in this multimember, open-label, phase I/II clinical trial to receive at least 2 and up to 3 doses of an inactivated influenza A/H5N1 vaccine at a 45-micrograms dose. The vaccine dosage level that will be used in this study was chosen based upon safety and immunogenicity data collected previously in adults and children. The injection volume of the 90-micrograms dose is 1 mL for the vaccine being used in this study, but this is considered unacceptable in this age group. Therefore, the 45-micrograms dose (0.5 ml volume) has been selected. Twenty three subjects who were previously enrolled and assigned to placebo in the DMID 04-077 study (A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Phase I/II, Study of the Safety, Reactogenicity, and Immunogenicity of Intramuscular Inactivated Influenza A/H5N1 Vaccine in Healthy Children Aged 2 Years Through 9 Years) along with up to 32 subjects from a single site who were incompletely immunized are eligible for enrollment in this study. Vaccine will be administered into the deltoid or (if age appropriate) thigh muscle. All subjects will receive 2 doses of the vaccine approximately 28 days apart. At month 6, subjects' parent(s) or guardian(s) will be called to assess the subjects for serious adverse events. Blood collection for immunogenicity studies will be at the discretion of the parent(s) or legal guardian(s). Should data evaluating a third dose of the influenza A/H5N1 vaccine show enhanced immunogenicity in pediatric subjects participating in DMID 04-077, parents/guardians of subjects who received vaccine will be offered the possibility of a third dose for their participating children.

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

  1. Occurrence of Solicited Adverse Events Among All Subjects

    Number of subjects reporting solicited Adverse Events collected on Memory Aid for Days 0-7 post each vaccination for all subjects (systematic assessment), for any and severe severities.

    Measured: Days 0-7 post each vaccination

  2. Occurrence of the Solicited Adverse Event of Body Aches, Solicited Only From Children Age 6-10

  3. Occurrence of Unsolicited Adverse Events

    Number of subjects with spontaneous reports of Adverse Events of any and severe severities. Events reported by more than 5.6% of subjects in any group are reported by MedDRA Preferred Term.

    Measured: Through Day 28 after second vaccination

  4. Occurrence of Serious Adverse Events

    Number of subjects with Serious Adverse Events during the 6 months after the first vaccination.

    Measured: Day 28 after second vaccination

  2. Geometric Mean Titer of Hemagglutination Inhibition Antibody Titers

    Geometric mean titer of hemagglutination inhibition antibody titers after receipt of two doses of vaccine.

    Measured: Day 28 after second vaccination

  3. Number of Participants With a Four-fold or Greater Increase in Hemagglutination Inhibition Antibody Titers

    Number of subjects with a 4-fold or greater increase, relative to baseline, in hemagglutination inhibition antibody titers after receipt of two doses of vaccine.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Inactivated Influenza A/H5N1 Vaccine (sanofi pasteur) in people with Influenza, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 3 sites 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 4 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 13 Jun 2011. 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 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Nov 2008). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Occurrence of Solicited Adverse Events Among All Subjects (time frame: Days 0-7 post each vaccination). The study lists 4 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 13 Jun 2011.
