What is being measured

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

  1. GMT of the haemagglutination-inhibiting (HI) antibodies and calculation of seroconversion factor, seroconversion rate & seroprotection rate, checked against CHMP criteria (for 18 - 60 years old); seroprotection power is also calculated.

    Measured: On Day 21 (+- 2) after the second vaccination

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Descriptive comparison of the occurrence and severity of solicited local and general symptoms

    Measured: Within 4 days after each vaccination

  2. Descriptive comparison of the occurrence, severity and relationship to vaccination of unsolicited signs and symptoms

    Measured: Within 30 days after each vaccination

  3. Descriptive comparison of the occurrence, severity and relationship to vaccination of serious adverse events (SAEs).

    Measured: Throughout the study

  4. GMT of the HI antibodies in each case against the 3 influenza virus strains of the vaccine separately for both age groups.

    Measured: On Day 21 (+- 2), Month 3 and Month 6 after the second vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Thiomersal free trivalent influenza split vaccine 2003/2004 and GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' Influsplit SSW®/Fluarix™ 2003/2004 in people with Influenza, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 13 sites in Germany.

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 5 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 15 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Germany. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

GMT of the haemagglutination-inhibiting (HI) antibodies and calculation of seroconversion factor, seroconversion rate & seroprotection rate, checked against CHMP criteria (for 18 - 60 years old); seroprotection power is also calculated. (time frame: On Day 21 (+- 2) after the second 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 15 Sep 2016.
