What is being measured

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

  1. Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titers for the H1N1 Vaccine Strain

    Antibody titers were expressed as Geometric mean titers (GMTs). The H1N1 vaccine strains included A/New Caledonia and A/Solomon Islands antigens. A/New Caledonia vaccine strain was administered to both groups receiving the adjuvanted influenza vaccine GSK576389A for the Northern Hemisphere 2006/2007 influenza season. A/Solomon Islands vaccine strain was administered to both groups receiving the adjuvanted influenza vaccine GSK576389A for the Northern Hemisphere 2007/2008 influenza season.

    Measured: At Days 0 and 21

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. HI Antibody Titers Against Each of the Three Vaccine Strains for the Two Season Formulations

    Antibody titers were expressed as GMTs. The vaccine strains included A/New Caledonia or A/Solomon Islands, A/Wisconsin and B/Malaysia antigens. A/New Caledonia vaccine strain was administered to all groups receiving the Northern Hemisphere 2006/2007 influenza season vaccine formulations. A/Solomon Islands vaccine strain was administered to all groups receiving the Northern Hemisphere 2007/2008 influenza season vaccine formulations. A/Wisconsin and B/Malaysia vaccine strains were administered to all groups.

    Measured: At Days 0 and 21

  2. The Number of Subjects Seroconverted for HI Antibodies Against Each of the Three Vaccine Strains for the Two Season Formulations

    A seroconverted subject was defined as a subject who had either a pre-vaccination titer below 1:10 and a post-vaccination titer greater than or equal to 1:40 or a pre-vaccination titer greater than or equal to 1:10 and at least a 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer. The vaccine strains included A/New Caledonia (for all groups receiving vaccine formulations for the Northern Hemisphere [NH] 2006/2007 influenza season) or A/Solomon Islands (for all groups receiving vaccine formulations for the NH 2007/2008 influenza season), A/Wisconsin and B/Malaysia antigens.

    Measured: At Day 21

  3. HI Antibody Seroconversion Factors

    Seroconversion factors were defined as the fold increase in serum HI GMTs post-vaccination compared to Day 0. The vaccine strains included A/New Caledonia (for all groups receiving vaccine formulations for the Northern Hemisphere [NH] 2006/2007 influenza season) or A/Solomon Islands (for all groups receiving vaccine formulations for the NH 2007/2008 influenza season), A/Wisconsin and B/Malaysia antigens.

    Measured: At Day 21

  4. The Number of Subjects Seroprotected for HI Antibodies Against Each of the Three Vaccine Strains for the Two Season Formulations

    A seroprotected subject was defined as a subject with a serum HI titer greater than or equal to 1:40 that usually is accepted as indicating protection. The vaccine strains included A/New Caledonia (for all groups receiving vaccine formulations for the Northern Hemisphere [NH] 2006/2007 influenza season) or A/Solomon Islands (for all groups receiving vaccine formulations for the NH 2007/2008 influenza season), A/Wisconsin and B/Malaysia antigens.

    Measured: At Days 0 and 21

  5. Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs)

    Grade 3 ecchymosis, redness and swelling was greater than 100 millimeter (mm) i.e. >100mm and grade 3 pain was considerable pain at rest that prevented normal everyday activities. Any was occurrence of any local symptom regardless of their intensity grade. Any for ecchymosis, redness and swelling was >20mm.

    Measured: During a 7-day follow-up period (Day 0-6) after vaccination

  6. Duration of Solicited Local AEs

    Duration was defined as number of days with any grade of local symptoms.

    Measured: During a 7-day follow-up period (Day 0-6) after vaccination

  7. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General AEs

    Any temperature was defined as oral temperature greater than or equal to 38.0 degree centigrade i.e ≥38.0°C, grade 3 temperature was oral temperature ≥39.0°C. For other symptoms, any was defined as occurrence of any general symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination and grade 3 was defined as a general symptom that prevented normal activity. Related was a general symptom assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: During a 7-day follow-up period (Day 0-6) after vaccination

  8. Duration of Solicited General AEs

    Duration was defined as number of days with any grade of general symptoms.

    Measured: During a 7-day follow-up period (Day 0-6) after vaccination

  9. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Unsolicited AEs

    Unsolicited AE covers any AE reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as occurrence of any unsolicited symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination. Grade 3 was an event that prevented normal activities and related was defined as an unsolicited AE assessed by the investigator to be causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: During a 21-day follow-up period (Day 0-20) after vaccination

  10. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Medically Significant Conditions (MSCs)

    MSCs were defined as an AEs with a medically-attended visit (MAE) i.e. prompting emergency room (ER) visits, hospitalizations or physician visits and that were not routine visits for physical examination or vaccination. Any MSC was defined as at least one MSC experienced. Grade 3 was a MSC that prevented normal activities and related was defined as a MSC assessed by the investigator to be causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: During a 21-day follow-up period (Day 0-20) after vaccination

  11. Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination and related was an event assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: During a 21-day follow-up period (Day 0-20) after vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GSK Bio's influenza vaccine GSK576389A [NH 2006/07 season], GSK Bio's influenza vaccine GSK576389A [NH 2007/08 season] and Fluarix [NH 2006/07 season] in people with Influenza, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 6 sites in 3 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 4 inclusion and 12 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 8 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Norway, Denmark, Estonia. 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 22 May 2012). 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?

Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titers for the H1N1 Vaccine Strain (time frame: At Days 0 and 21). 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 8 Jun 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
