What is being measured

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

  1. Number Subjects Who Responded to Two or Three Vaccinations of the MF59-H5N1 Influenza Vaccine

    Seroconversion (serocon.) is defined as negative pre-vaccination serum (titer <10 for HI [Haemagglutination Inhibition], area ≤4 mm^2 for SRH [Single Radial Haemolysis]) / positive post-vaccination titer (titer ≥ 40 for HI, area ≥ 25 mm^2 for SRH).

    Significant increase in antibody titer is defined as at least a fourfold increase from non-negative pre-vaccination serum (HI ≥ 10) or at least 50% increase in the SRH area.

    Seroprotection is defined as a HI titer ≥40 and a SRH area ≥25 mm^2.

    Measured: 21 days after second and third vaccinations (day 43 and day 403)

  2. Geometric Mean Ratio After Two or Three Vaccinations of the MF59-eH5N1 Influenza Vaccine

    Geometric mean Ratio (GMR) was calculated for the haemagglutination inhibition (HI), microneutralization (MN) and single-radial haemolysis (SRH) result as well as the associated 95% confidence intervals. GMR was calculated as 21 days after second and third vaccinations over day 1.

    Measured: 21 days after second and third vaccinations (day 22 and day 43)

  3. Number of Subjects Who Responded to Two Vaccinations of the Seasonal eTIV_a Influenza Vaccines (Strain H1N1)

    seroconversion: negative pre-vaccination serum (HI titer <10, SRH area =<4 mm^2)/positive post-vaccination titer (HI titer =>10) or at least 50% increase in the SRH area.

    Seroprotection is defined as a HI titer ≥40 and a SRH area ≥25 mm^2.

    Measured: 21 days after second vaccination (day 43)

  4. Number of Subjects Who Responded to Two or Three Vaccinations of the Seasonal eTIV_a Influenza Vaccines (Strain H3N2)

    seroconversion (serocon.): negative pre-vaccination serum (HI titer <10, SRH area =<4 mm^2)/positive post-vaccination titer (HI titer =>10) or at least 50% increase in the SRH area.

    Seroprotection is defined as a HI titer ≥40 and a SRH area ≥25 mm^2.

    Measured: 21 days after second and third vaccinations (day 43 and day 403)

  5. Number of Subjects Who Responded to Two or Three Vaccinations of the Seasonal eTIV_a Influenza Vaccines (Strain B)

    seroconversion (serocon.): negative pre-vaccination serum (HI titer <10, SRH area =<4 mm^2)/positive post-vaccination titer (HI titer =>10) or at least 50% increase in the SRH area.

    Seroprotection is defined as a HI titer ≥40 and a SRH area ≥25 mm^2.

    Measured: 21 days after second and third vaccinations (day 43 and day 403)

  6. Geometric Mean Ratio After Two Doses of the Seasonal eTIV_a Influenza Vaccine (Strain H1N1)

    For each vaccine group, the least squares GMRs were calculated for the haemagglutination inhibition (HI) results as well as the associated 95% confidence intervals. GMR was calculated over day 1.

    Measured: 21 days after second vaccination (day 43)

  7. Geometric Mean Ratio After Two or Three Vaccinations of the Seasonal eTIV_a Influenza Vaccine (Strain H3N1)

    For each vaccine group, the least squares GMRs were calculated for the haemagglutination inhibition (HI) results for each time point of the study, as well as the associated 95% confidence intervals. GMR was calculated over day 1.

    Measured: 21 days after second and third vaccinations (day 43 and day 403)

  8. Geometric Mean Ratio After Two or Three Vaccinations of the Seasonal eTIV_a Influenza Vaccine (Strain B)

    For each vaccine group, the least squares GMRs were calculated for the haemagglutination inhibition (HI) results for each time point of the study, as well as the associated 95% confidence intervals. GMR was calculated over day 1.

    Measured: 21 days after second and third vaccinations (day 43 and day 403)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Subjects Reporting Local and Systemic Reactions by Vaccination

    The evaluate the safety of the administration of two or three vaccinations of MF59-eH5N1 influenza vaccine, either given sequentially, concomitantly or mixed extemporaneously with seasonal eTIV_a influenza vaccine.

    Measured: 21 days after second and third vaccinations (day 43 and day 403)

  2. Number of Subjects With Immunogenicity Results After the Booster Vaccination Against the MF59-eH5N1 Influenza Vaccine Mixed Extemporaneously With the Seasonal eTIV_a Influenza Vaccine

    Booster was given on day 382; seroconversion: negative pre-vaccination serum (HI titer <10, SRH area ≤ 4 mm^2)/positive post-vaccination titer (HI titer ≥10) or at least 50% increase in SRH area; Seroprotection is defined as a HI titer ≥40 and a SRH area ≥25 mm^2.

    The number of subjects achieving seroconversion or significant increase and seroprotection were calculated at day 382.

    Measured: 21 days after booster vaccination (day 403)

  3. Geometric Mean Ratio After the Booster Vaccination Against the MF59-eH5N1 Influenza Vaccine Mixed Extemporaneously With the Seasonal eTIV_a Influenza Vaccine

    For each vaccine group, the least squares GMRs were calculated for the HI and SRH results for each time point of the study, as well as the associated 95% confidence intervals. GMR was calculated over day 382 for all time points for the booster dose.

    Measured: 21 days after booster vaccination (day 403)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MF59-eH5N1, eTIV_a and MF59-eH5N1 + eTIV_a in people with Pandemic and Avian Influenza, run by Novartis at 1 site in Colombia.

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 1 inclusion and 0 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 Feb 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 Colombia. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Feb 2013). 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?

Number Subjects Who Responded to Two or Three Vaccinations of the MF59-H5N1 Influenza Vaccine (time frame: 21 days after second and third vaccinations (day 43 and day 403)). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00481065, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Feb 2014.
