About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Observer-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Safety and Immunogenicity of Intramuscular Inactivated Influenza A/H5N1 Vaccine Administered With and Without an Adjuvant Patch in Healthy Adults

This is a Phase 1/2, randomized, observer-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. A maximum of 500 eligible subjects in 10 groups will be enrolled, randomized and vaccinated in this study. Subjects will receive an intramuscular injection of either the influenza A/H5N1 (low, medium or high dose) or placebo on Day 0 and Day 21 with or without a patch. This study will be performed in two parts.

In Part 1, an initial safety evaluation will be performed in 100 randomized subjects. A Safety Review Committee (SRC)will review all safety data, including laboratory values, through the Day 7 visit, and compare those data against Stopping Criteria. If the treatments are considered safe, Part 2 of the study will be initiated and a second vaccination will be administered to subjects in Part 1 on Day 21.

In Part 2, the remaining 400 subjects will be randomized, treated, and will follow the same visit structure and protocol-defined requirements as subjects in Part 1, without the additional laboratory safety measurements. An SRC review will also be performed of all safety data through the Day 28 visit for subjects participating in Part 1.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing A/H5N1 in people with Pandemic Influenza, run by Intercell USA, Inc. at 5 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 3 inclusion and 34 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 14 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 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.

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?

Safety of Intramuscular A/H5N1 with and without the LT adjuvant patch (time frame: 6 months). 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 14 Mar 2012.
