What is being measured

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

  1. The Geometric Mean (GM) Number of Influenza-specific CD4 T-cells Per Million CD4+ T-cells Identified After in Vitro Stimulation With Pooled Vaccine Strains Which Are Producing at Least Two Different Markers

    The markers assessed were Cluster of Differentiation 40 Ligand (CD40L), interleukin-2 (IL-2), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ)

    Measured: Day 21

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. The GM Number of Influenza-specific CD4 T-cells Per Million CD4+ T-cells Identified After in Vitro Stimulation With Pooled Vaccine Strains and With Each Vaccine Strain Separately Which Were Producing at Least Two Different Markers

    The markers assessed were CD40L, IL-2, TNF-α, IFN-γ. The separate vaccine strains tested included A/Brisbane, A/Uruguay, B/Brisbane antigens.

    Measured: At Day 0, 21, 42 and 180

  2. The GM Number of Influenza-specific CD4 T-cells Per Million CD4+ T-cells Identified After in Vitro Stimulation With Pooled Vaccine Strains and With Each Vaccine Strain Separately Producing Each of the Immune Markers Plus Another Immune Marker

    The markers assessed were CD40L, IL-2, TNF-α, IFN-γ. The separate vaccine strains tested included A/Brisbane, A/Uruguay, B/Brisbane antigens.

    Measured: At Day 0, 21, 42 and 180

  3. Haemagglutinin Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titers

    Antibody titers were expressed as Geometric mean titers (GMTs) calculated after invitro stimulation with separate vaccine strains.

    Measured: At Day 0, 21, 42 and 180

  4. The Number of Subjects Seropositive to HI Antibodies Calculated After in Vitro Stimulation With Separate Vaccine Strains.

    Seropositivity was defined as antibody titer greater than or equal to the cut-off value i.e ≥ 1:10

    Measured: At Day 0, 21, 42 and 180

  5. The Number of Subjects Seroconverted to HI Antibodies

    Seroconversion was defined as the number of vaccinees who had either a prevaccination titer < 1:10 and a post-vaccination titer ≥ 1:40 or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and at least a 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer.

    Measured: At Day 21, 42 and 180

  6. HI Antibody Seroconversion Factors

    Seroconversion factors were defined as the fold increase in serum HI GMTs post-vaccination compared to Day 0.

    Measured: At Day 21, 42 and 180

  7. The Number of Subjects Seroprotected to HI Antibodies

    A seroprotected subject was defined as a subject with a serum HI titer greater than or equal to 1:40 that usually is accepted as indicating protection.

    Measured: At Day 0, 21, 42 and 180

  8. Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs)

    Grade 3 ecchymosis, redness and swelling was >100mm and grade 3 pain was considerable pain at rest, that prevented normal everyday activity.

    Measured: Day 0 -6

  9. Duration of Solicited Local AEs

    Duration was defined as the number of days with any grade of local symptoms.

    Measured: Day 0 -6

  10. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General AEs

    Any fever was defined as oral temperature ≥ 38.0 degree centigrade (°C), grade 3 fever was defined as oral temperature ≥ 39.0°C. For other symptoms grade 3 was defined as general symptom that prevented normal activity and related was general symptom assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: Day 0 -6

  11. Duration of Solicited General AEs

    Duration was defined as number of days with any grade of general symptoms.

    Measured: Day 0 -6

  12. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Unsolicited AEs

    Unsolicited AE covers any AE reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as occurrence of any unsolicited symptom, regardless of intensity or relation to vaccination, grade 3 was unsolicited symptom that prevented normal activity and related was event assessed by investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: Day 0-20

  13. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related AEs With a Medically Attended Visit (MAEs)

    For each solicited and unsolicited AE the subject experienced, the subject was asked if they received medical attention defined as hospitalization, an emergency room visit or a visit to or from medical personnel (medical doctor) for any reason. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom, regardless of intensity or relation to vaccination, grade 3 was defined as symptom that prevented normal activity and related was event assessed by investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: Day 0-179

  14. Number of Subjects Reporting Any AEs of Specific Interest (AESI)

    AESI for safety monitoring are a subset of AEs that include both clearly autoimmune diseases and also other inflammatory and/or neurologic disorders which may or may not have an autoimmune etiology. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom, regardless of intensity or relation to vaccination.

    Measured: Day 0-364

  15. Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom, regardless of intensity or relation to vaccination and related was event assessed by investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: Day 0-364

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing GSK Biologicals' influenza vaccine GSK2186877A and GSK Biologicals' Fluarix in people with Influenza, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 4 sites in 2 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 9 inclusion and 15 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 4 sites in Spain, 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. 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 5 Apr 2012). 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?

The Geometric Mean (GM) Number of Influenza-specific CD4 T-cells Per Million CD4+ T-cells Identified After in Vitro Stimulation With Pooled Vaccine Strains Which Are Producing at Least Two Different Markers (time frame: Day 21). 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 NCT00765076, 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 31 Jul 2018.
