About this study

Official title: Reactogenicity and Immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' Influenza Vaccine GSK576389A in Elderly Adults (≥66 Years) Previously Vaccinated With the Same Candidate Vaccine. Fluarix™ Will be Used as Reference

Since influenza vaccines are administered every year because of the frequent change in their antigenic composition, the safety and immunogenicity profile of GSK Biologicals' influenza vaccine GSK576389A will be re-evaluated after repeated vaccine administration. In this study, the subjects previously enrolled in study 104887 will receive a dose with the 2007-2008 season's formulations of Fluarix or GSK576389A. Only subjects who were previously enrolled in study 104887 are eligible for participation in this study.

This study is a year 2 revaccination study. First year revaccination was done in study 104887 (NCT00386698). Primary study was study 104886 (NCT00318149). This study involves 2 age groups (based on primary study):

Subjects enrolled in the ≥ 65 years age group in the primary study. Subjects enrolled in the 18-40 years age group in the primary study.

What is being measured

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

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

    Grade 3 ecchymosis, redness and swelling was greater than 100 millimeter i.e. >100 mm 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.

    Measured: Day 0-6

  2. Duration of Solicited Local AEs

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

    Measured: Day 0-6

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

    Any temperature was defined as axillary temperature ≥38.0 degree centigrade (°C), grade 3 temperature was axillary 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 general symptom that prevented normal activity. Related was general symptom assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: Day 0-6

  4. Duration of Solicited General AEs

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

    Measured: Day 0-6

  5. 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 event that prevented normal activities and related was defined as unsolicited AE assessed by the investigator to be causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: Day 0-20

  6. Number of Subjects Reporting at Least One, Grade 3 and Related Medically Significant Conditions (MSCs)

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

    Measured: Day 0-20

  7. 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 and related was event assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: Day 0-20

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titers

    Antibody titers were expressed as Geometric mean titers (GMTs). The vaccine strains included A/Solomon Islands, A/Wisconsin and B/Malaysia antigens.

    Measured: At Days 0 and 21

  2. The Number of Subjects Seropositive to HI Antibodies

    Seropositivity was defined as antibody titer greater than or equal to the cut-off value i.e. ≥ 1:10. The vaccine strains included A/Solomon Islands, A/Wisconsin and B/Malaysia antigens.

    The vaccine strains included A/Solomon Islands, A/Wisconsin, B/Malaysia and Pool FLU antigens and the markers assessed were Cluster of Differentiation 4-All doubles i.e. CD4-All doubles, CD40 Ligand (CD40L), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin-2 (IL-2) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α).

    Measured: At Days 0 and 21

  7. The GM Number of CD8 T-cells Per Million CD8+ T-cells for Each Vaccine Strain and for Pooled Vaccine Strains Producing at Least Two Different Immune Markers or Producing Each of the Immune Markers Plus Another Immune Marker

    The vaccine strains included A/Solomon Islands, A/Wisconsin, B/Malaysia and Pool FLU antigens and the markers assessed were CD8-All doubles, CD40L, IFN-γ, IL-2 and TNF-α.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fluarix™ and GSK Bio's Influenza Vaccine GSK576389A in people with Influenza, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Belgium.

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 15 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 1 site in Belgium. 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 5 Sep 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?

Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Day 0-6). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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.
