About this study

Official title: Preference for Fluzone Vaccine Administered Intradermally Versus Intramuscularly in Healthy Adult Subjects 18-49 Years of Age

To describe any degree of preference for the route of administration of Fluzone influenza vaccine, ID versus IM, in healthy adult subjects 18-49 years of age.

To collect safety data, injection site reactions, and systemic reactions, through Day 7 post-vaccination; SAEs through day 28 post-vaccination

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine, in a relatively small sample of persons 18-49 years of age, if there is a preference trend for a particular route of administration, ID vs IM, when receiving a seasonal influenza vaccine. Uptake of influenza vaccine is disappointingly low in this age group, and there is the perception that aversion to IM injection plays a role in vaccination avoidance. The BD Micro-Injection System to be used in this study may offer a more acceptable alternative to the standard IM injection for influenza immunization and thereby promote wider acceptance of influenza vaccination.

What is being measured

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

  1. Categorical Summary of Pain or Other Discomfort Immediately After Vaccination and on Days 3 and 7 Post-vaccination

    Pain or other discomfort was assessed on a scale of 0 to 10 (None = 0; Hardly Any = 1, 2; Mild = 3, 4; Moderate = 5, 6; Severe = 7, 8; Unbearable = 9, 10) according to route of administration: intradermal (ID) as Group 1 and intramuscular (IM) as Group 2.

    Data for this outcome were combined for responses following a similar type of vaccination route in the entire study population.

    Measured: Day 0 and up to 7 days post-vaccination

  2. Continuous Summary of Pain or Other Discomfort Immediately After Vaccination and on Days 3 and 7 Post-vaccination

    Numerical scores were assigned to pain by participants on the preference questionnaire as: None = 0; Hardly Any = 1, 2; Mild = 3, 4; Moderate = 5, 6; Severe = 7, 8; or Unbearable = 9, 10.

    Data for this outcome were combined for responses following a similar type of vaccination route in the entire study population.

    Measured: Days 0, 3, and 7 after vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fluzone: Influenza virus vaccine in people with Influenza, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 2 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 4 inclusion and 9 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 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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. 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 11 Aug 2011). 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?

Categorical Summary of Pain or Other Discomfort Immediately After Vaccination and on Days 3 and 7 Post-vaccination (time frame: Day 0 and up to 7 days post-vaccination). The study lists 2 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 14 Apr 2016.
