What is being measured

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

  1. Serum Haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) Antibody Titer Against the Three Vaccine Strains

    Titers were expressed as Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs). The three vaccine strains assessed included A/Solomon Islands, A/Wisconsin and B/Malaysia.

    Measured: Days 0 and 21

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Number of Subjects Seropositive for HI Antibodies Against the Three Vaccine Strains

    A seropositive subject was defined as a subject with a serum HI titer greater than or equal to 1:10. The three vaccine strains assessed included A/Solomon Islands, A/Wisconsin and B/Malaysia.

    Measured: Days 0 and 21

  2. Number of Subjects Seroconverted for HI Antibodies Against the Three Vaccine Strains

    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 four-fold increase in post-vaccination titer. The three vaccine strains assessed included A/Solomon Islands, A/Wisconsin and B/Malaysia.

    Measured: Day 21

  3. HI Antibody Seroconversion Factors

    Seroconversion factor was defined as the fold increase in serum HI GMTs post-vaccination compared to Day 0. The three vaccine strains assessed included A/Solomon Islands, A/Wisconsin and B/Malaysia.

    Measured: Day 21

  4. Number of Subjects Seroprotected for HI Antibodies Against the Three Vaccine Strains

    A seroprotected subject was defined as a suject with a serum HI titer greater than or equal to 1:40 that usually is accepted as indicating protection.

    Measured: Days 0 and 21

  5. Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms

    Solicited local symptoms assessed include ecchymosis, pain, redness and swelling. Any: any symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 pain: considerable pain at rest, which prevented normal everyday activities. Grade 3 ecchymosis, redness and swelling: more than 100 millimeter.

    Measured: During a 7-day period after vaccination

  6. Duration of Solicited Local Symptoms

    Duration was expressed as median number of days the symptom persisted. Solicited local symptoms assessed include ecchymosis, pain, redness and swelling.

    Measured: During a 7-day period after vaccination

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

    Solicited general symptoms assessed include arthralgia, fatigue, headache, myalgia, nausea, shivering and fever. Any: any symptom regardless of intensity grade; any fever: oral temperature greater than or equal to 38 degrees Celsius (°C). Grade 3: symptoms that prevented normal activity ; Grade 3 fever: oral temperature greater than 39°C. Related: symptom assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: During a 7-day period after vaccination

  8. Duration of Solicited General Symptoms

    Duration was expressed as median number of days the symptom persisted. Solicited general symptoms assessed include arthralgia, fatigue, headache, myalgia, nausea, shivering and fever.

    Measured: During a 7-day period after vaccination

  9. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Unsolicited Adverse Events (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.

    Measured: During a 21-day period after vaccination

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

    Medically Significant Conditions (MSCs) included all unsolicited adverse events that resulted in a medically attended visit.

    Measured: During a 21-day period 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.

    Measured: During the entire study period (up to Day 21)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Thiomersal-free FluAS25 adjuvanted vaccine (GSK576389A) and Thiomersal reduced FluAS25 adjuvanted vaccine (GSK576389A) in people with Influenza, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 3 sites in Estonia.

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 13 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 3 sites in 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 28 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?

Serum Haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) Antibody Titer Against the Three Vaccine Strains (time frame: 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.
