About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Phase I/II Study to Assess the Safety and Immunogenicity of Two Doses of a Vero Cell Derived, Whole Virus Clade 2 H5N1 Influenza Vaccine in Healthy Volunteers Aged 21 to 45 Years

The objectives of this Phase I/II study are to assess the safety and immunogenicity of two different dose levels of a non-adjuvanted H5N1 influenza vaccine in a healthy young adult population. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive two intramuscular injections (21 days apart) of the vaccine containing either 3.75 µg or 7.5 µg H5N1 hemagglutinin (HA) antigen in a non-adjuvanted formulation. Subjects will be monitored for safety and for antibody response to the vaccine. A data safety monitoring board will review the safety data after the first and second vaccination.

What participants receive

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

  • Whole virion, Vero cell-derived influenza vaccine containing either 3.75 µg or 7.5 µg H5N1 hemagglutinin (HA) antigen in a non-adjuvanted formulationBiological

    Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive two intramuscular injections of the whole virion, Vero cell-derived influenza vaccine containing either 3.75 mg or 7.5 mg H5N1 hemagglutinin (HA) antigen in a non-adjuvanted formulation on Day 0 and Day 21.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of subjects with antibody response to the vaccine strain associated with protection 21 days after the second vaccination defined as titer measured by Microneutralization (MN) test >= 1:20

    Measured: 21 days after the second vaccination (= Day 42 in the study)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Whole virion, Vero cell-derived influenza vaccine containing either 3.75 µg or 7.5 µg H5N1 hemagglutinin (HA) antigen in a non-adjuvanted formulation in people with Influenza, run by Alachua Government Services, Inc. at 4 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 4 sites in Hong Kong, Singapore. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of subjects with antibody response to the vaccine strain associated with protection 21 days after the second vaccination defined as titer measured by Microneutralization (MN) test >= 1:20 (time frame: 21 days after the second vaccination (= Day 42 in the study)). 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 9 Oct 2015.
