About this study

Official title: Randomised Dose Ranging Observer Blind Single Centre Study to Evaluate Safety and Immunogenicity of Adjuvanted and Non-adjuvanted Influenza H9 Influenza Vaccine in Humans

H9N2 influenza circulates in animal and poultry and has caused delf limiting infections in children. Influenza H9N2 poses a pandemic threat to humans.

This study evaluates the safety and immunogenicity of adjuvanted and non-adjuvanted whole virus and virosomal H9N2 vaccines by the intramuscular route. We also assess intradermal route of administration to see if this has any advantages. The aim is to assess antibody responses before and after vaccination. The hypothesis is that lower doses of adjuvanted vaccine will induce similar antibody responses to non-adjuvanted vaccine

Read the detailed description

A double-blind, single centre comparative study in which fourteen groups of 40 male and female adults >18 years of age will be randomly allocated to receive 1.7, 5, 15 or 45 µg quantities of whole virion (WV), Aluminium -adjuvanted WV(Al-WV), and virosomal (V) influenza A/Hong Kong/1073/99 (H9N2) vaccines by intramuscular injection into the deltoid muscle; or 5 or 15microg WV vaccine administered by intradermal injection. A second dose of the same vaccine containing the same quantity of antigen as in the first dose will be administered 21 days later. Subjects will be observed for local and systemic reactions for 30 minutes after each immunisation (day 0 and 21), and will be monitored for any reactions and other adverse events for 7 days after immunisation. Blood for immunogenicity studies will be obtained at day 0 (pre-immunisation), day-21 (+4 days), and at day-42 (i.e., 21 +4 days after the second immunization). Immunogenicity will be evaluated by haemagglutination inhibition, virus neutralization,, single radial haemolysis, neuraminidase inhibition and cellular mediated responses (in a subset of 5-10 subjects from each group).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing H9N2 whole virus vaccine, IM, 1.5microg, H9N2 whole virus vaccine, IM, 5microg and H9N2 whole virus vaccine vaccine, IM, 15microg in people with Influenza, run by University Hospitals, Leicester 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 5 inclusion and 16 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 21 Jul 2009. 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 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?

Geometric mean antibody titres of antibody to influenza H9 by HI and neutralising antibody assays (time frame: Pre vaccination, 21 days and 42 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 21 Jul 2009.
