What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
FluarixBiological
One (Day 0) or two (Day 0 and Day 28) doses by intramuscular injection. Two different doses are tested.
FluzoneBiological
One (Day 0) or two (Day 0 and Day 28) doses by intramuscular injection.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Fluarix Dose A Group | Experimental | Subjects were administered 1 or 2 doses* of Fluarix vaccine (at Day 0 or at Days 0 and 28) intramuscularly, in the non-dominant upper arm (children >12 months of age) or in the anterolateral thigh (children <12 months of age).
* Only those subjects who had no history of prior influenza vaccination (i.e. unprimed subjects) received 2 doses. Receives: Biological: Fluarix |
| Fluarix Dose B Group | Experimental | Subjects were administered 1 or 2 doses*, half the volume of dose A, of Fluarix vaccine (at Day 0 or at Days 0 and 28) intramuscularly, in the non-dominant upper arm (children >12 months of age) or in the anterolateral thigh (children <12 months of age).
* Only those subjects who had no history of prior influenza vaccination (i.e. unprimed subjects) received 2 doses. Receives: Biological: Fluarix |
| Fluzone Group | Active comparator | Subjects were administered 1 or 2 doses* of Fluzone vaccine (at Day 0 or at Days 0 and 28) intramuscularly, in the non-dominant upper arm (children >12 months of age) or in the anterolateral thigh (children <12 months of age).
* Only those subjects who had no history of prior influenza vaccination (i.e. unprimed subjects) received 2 doses. Receives: Biological: Fluzone |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of Serum Anti-hemagglutinin (HA) Antibodies Against Each of the Influenza Vaccine Strains
GMTs and their 95% confidence interval are presented for all 3 viral strains comprised in the vaccine.
Post-vaccination timepoints: Day 28 for primed or Day 56 for unprimed subjects
Measured: Day 0 (PRE), Day 28 or Day 56 (POST)
Number of Subjects Who Seroconverted
Seroconversion is defined as the number of subjects with either a pre-vaccination anti-HA titer < 1:10 and a post-vaccination titer ≥ 1:40, or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and a minimum 4-fold increase at post-vaccination titer.
Post-vaccination timepoints: Day 28 for primed or Day 56 for unprimed subjects
Measured: Day 28 or Day 56
Secondary outcomes (7)
Number of Seroprotected Subjects
A seroprotected subject is a subject with a serum anti-HA titer
≥ 1:40
Post-vaccination timepoints: Day 28 for primed or Day 56 for unprimed subjects
Measured: Day 0 (PRE), Day 28 or Day 56 (POST)
Seroconversion Factor
Seroconversion factor is defined as the fold increase in serum anti-HA GMTs post-vaccination (Day 28 or 56) compared to pre-vaccination (Day 0).
Post-vaccination timepoints: Day 28 for primed or Day 56 for unprimed subjects
Measured: Day 28 or Day 56
Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited Local Symptoms
Solicited local symptoms assessed include pain, redness and swelling.
Measured: During a 4-day follow-up period after vaccination
Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited General Symptoms
Solicited general symptoms assessed include drowsiness, irritability, loss of appetitie, and temperature.
Measured: During a 4-day follow-up period after vaccination
Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events (AE)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product
Measured: During a 28-day follow-up period after vaccination
Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAE) and New Onset of Chronic Diseases (NOCD)
An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that: results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject, or may evolve into one of the outcomes listed above.
NOCDs assessed include for example: diabetes, asthma, allergies, autoimmune disease, cancer, neuropathic disorders
Measured: During the entire study (Day 0 until Month 6)
Number of Subjects Reporting Rare Serious Events
Rare serious events have an occurrence rate of 1/300 (0.3%).
Measured: During the entire study (Day 0 until Month 6)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Fluarix and Fluzone in people with Influenza, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 69 sites in 5 countries.
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 3 inclusion and 7 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 31 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 69 sites in United States, Hong Kong, Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Jul 2010). 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?
Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of Serum Anti-hemagglutinin (HA) Antibodies Against Each of the Influenza Vaccine Strains (time frame: Day 0 (PRE), Day 28 or Day 56 (POST)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00764790, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 31 Jul 2018.
