About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Observer-Blind, Parallel Groups, Single Center, Extension Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity and Safety Following a Single Intramuscular Dose of Influenza Vaccines in Healthy Children Who Received Either One or the Other Vaccine in the Previous V70P2 Study.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the immunogenicity of a single dose of Influenza Vaccines (0.5mL or 0.25mL) in healthy children aged up to 35 months or 36 up to 48 months. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single 0.25mL IM of injection influenza vaccines in healthy children aged up to 35 months; to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single 0.50mL IM injection of influenza vaccines in healthy children aged up to 48 months.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Influenza Trivalent Inactivated VaccinesBiological

    This phase II, observer-blind, parallel groups, single center, extension study will be performed over a period of approximately 6 months in a study population of healthy children up to 48 months of age.

    Up to two hundred and forty-four children (244) having previously participated in Novartis Vaccines Study V70P2 will be vaccinated with the same influenza vaccines received in the previous trial.

    Each subject will receive a single vaccine dose of 0.25mL, or of 0.5mL, if aged respectively up to 35 months or 36 up to 48 months, administered intramuscularly (IM) in the deltoid muscle, preferably of the non-dominant arm.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the immunogenicity of a single 0.25mL or 0.5mL IM injection of two different influenza vaccines, in terms of post-immunization geometric mean titers (GMTs), as measured by HI test, in healthy children aged up to 48 months.

    Measured: 181 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Immunogenicity of a single 0.25 or 0.5mL IM injection of two different influenza vaccines in terms of seroprotection, and seroconversion or significant increase, as measured by HI test in healthy children aged up to 48 months.

    Measured: 181 days

  2. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single 0.25 or 0.5 mL IM injection of two different influenza vaccines in healthy children aged up to 48 months

    Measured: 181 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Influenza Trivalent Inactivated Vaccines in people with FLU, run by Novartis Vaccines at 1 site in Finland.

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 2 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 1 Dec 2016. 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 Finland. 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?

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?

To evaluate the immunogenicity of a single 0.25mL or 0.5mL IM injection of two different influenza vaccines, in terms of post-immunization geometric mean titers (GMTs), as measured by HI test, in healthy children aged up to 48 months. (time frame: 181 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00644540, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Dec 2016.
