About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Open-Label, Uncontrolled, Single Center Study to Evaluate Safety and Immunogenicity of Flu Vaccine Influenza Vaccine (Surface Antigen, Inactivated) Ph.Eur, Formulation 2008-2009, When Administered to Non-Elderly Adult and Elderly Subjects

Annual trial for registration influenza vaccine with the strain composition for season 2008/2009

Read the detailed description

At enrolment, subjects were stratified into two age strata (18 to 60 years, over 60 years). Total duration of the study is three weeks. Vaccinations were to be administered on day 1. Blood samples were collected at day 1 (baseline, before the vaccination) and at day 22 (three weeks after the vaccination). Sera were tested by Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) assay. Safety was assessed until 3 weeks after the vaccination.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Flu Vaccine Influenza Vaccine (Surface Antigen, Inactivated) Ph.Eur, Formulation 2008-2009 in people with Influenza, run by Novartis Vaccines at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 6 inclusion and 27 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 5 Jan 2012. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Evaluation of antibody response to each influenza vaccine antigen, as measured by haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test on Day 0 and on Day 21 (time frame: 21 days). 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 5 Jan 2012.
