About this study

Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity of Different Formulations of an Intramuscular A/H5N1 Inactivated, Split Virion Influenza Adjuvanted Vaccine in Healthy Adults

Following the licensure of sanofi pasteur's 90 µg rgA/Vietnam/1203/2004 pandemic influenza vaccine, efforts to develop a lower antigen dose formulation with improved immunogenicity using adjuvants were initiated. The present study is part of this endeavor. It is primarily a formulation/dose-finding study with a secondary aim at generating safety and immunogenicity data for the final formulation for the development of a pre-pandemic vaccine.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I, observer-blinded, randomized, controlled multicenter, dose-finding study in adult subjects. All vaccines will be administered as a two-dose schedule in (H5N1) immunologically-naïve adults. Immunogenicity and safety will be evaluated after each injection.

Being tested
Monovalent subvirion H5N1 influenza vaccine, Physiological saline
Keywords
Influenza, A/H5N1, Orthomyxoviridae Infections, Influenza Pandemics

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Monovalent subvirion H5N1 influenza vaccine and Physiological saline in people with Influenza and Orthomyxoviridae Infections, run by Sanofi at 6 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 20 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 17 Apr 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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?

To provide information concerning the safety after primary administration of A/H1N1 vaccine (time frame: 6 months post-vaccination). 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 17 Apr 2012.
