  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects aged 18 to 65 years of age, mentally competent, who have signed an informed consent form after having received a detailed explanation of the study protocol;
  • In good health as determined by:
  • medical history,
  • physical examination,
  • clinical judgment of the Investigator;

  • Subjects who experienced any acute disease or infection requiring systemic antibiotic or antiviral therapy (chronic antibiotic therapy for urinary tract prophylaxis is acceptable) within the past 7 days;
  • Subjects who experienced fever (defined as axillary temperature ≥38.0°C) within 3 days prior to Visit 1;
  • Subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding;
  • Females of childbearing potential who refuse to use an acceptable method of birth control for the duration of the study. Adequate contraception is defined as hormonal (e.g., oral, injection, transdermal patch, implant, cervical ring), barrier (e.g., condom with spermicide or diaphragm with spermicide), intrauterine device (e.g., IUD), or monogamous relationship with vasectomized partner who has been vasectomized for 6 months or more prior to the subject's study entry;

Show all 24Show fewer
  • cancer,
  • autoimmune disease (including rheumatoid arthritis),
  • diabetes mellitus,
  • chronic pulmonary disease,
  • acute or progressive hepatic disease,
  • acute or progressive renal disease;
  • Subjects for whom a surgery is planned during the study period;
  • Subjects with bleeding diathesis;
  • Subjects with hypersensitivity to eggs, chicken protein, chicken feathers, influenza viral protein, neomycin or polymyxin or any other component of the study vaccine;
  • Subjects with a history of any neurological symptoms or signs, or anaphylactic shock following administration of any vaccine;
  • Subjects with known or suspected impairment/alteration of immune function, for example, resulting from:
  • receipt of immunosuppressive therapy (any corticosteroid therapy or cancer chemotherapy),
  • receipt of immunostimulants,
  • receipt of parenteral immunoglobulin preparation, blood products, and/or plasma derivatives within 3 months prior to Visit 1 or planned during the full length of the study,
  • high risk for developing an immunocompromising disease;
  • Receipt of another vaccine within 3 weeks prior to Visit 1 or planned vaccination within 3 weeks following the last study vaccination;
  • Subjects with a history of (or current) drug or alcohol abuse that in the investigator's opinion would interfere with safety of the subject or the evaluation of study objectives;
  • Subjects with any condition, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, might interfere with the evaluation of the study objectives.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Fluad H5N1 Pandemic Influenza VaccineBiological

    Also called Vaccine

    Two 0.5 mL doses of MF59-adjuvanted A/Vietnam/1194/2004 (H5N1 Clade 1) hemagglutinin (HA) subvirion influenza vaccine, containing 7.5 μg of H5N1 antigen,administered 3 weeks apart, IM in the deltoid muscle, preferably of the non-dominant arm.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cell-mediated immunity, magnitude, breath and kinetics of antibody response to 2 doses of MF59-adjuvanted H5N1 influenza vaccine, in subjects primed by previous vaccination with either MF59-adjuvanted or non-adjuvanted H5N3 influenza vaccine.

    Measured: Days 1, 8, 15, 22, 43 and 202

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety Objectives: safety and reactogenicity of the vaccine

    Measured: Days 1, 8, 15, 22, 43 and 202

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fluad H5N1 Pandemic Influenza Vaccine in people with Prophylaxis of Avian Influenza Vaccine, run by Novartis Vaccines at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 24 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 1 Dec 2016. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Cell-mediated immunity, magnitude, breath and kinetics of antibody response to 2 doses of MF59-adjuvanted H5N1 influenza vaccine, in subjects primed by previous vaccination with either MF59-adjuvanted or non-adjuvanted H5N3 influenza vaccine. (time frame: Days 1, 8, 15, 22, 43 and 202). 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 NCT00478816, 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 1 Dec 2016.
