About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Safety, Reactogenicity, and Immunogenicity of Recombinant M2e Influenza-A Vaccine Candidate ACAM FLU-A) in Healthy Adults

This multi-center study will be conducted in the United States with up to 80 healthy adult subjects. Subjects will be scheduled to receive a total of two (2) injections with 1 injection each administered.

Subjects will be randomized according to a randomization scheme.

Read the detailed description

All subjects will be followed up for 60 days post-randomization and through the influenza season. Following the influenza season, a subset of the subjects will receive a booster vaccine at the 12 month time point. The subjects will further be assessed at 2 days, 7 days, 15 days, 30 days and 6 months following the booster vaccination.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Reporting Adverse Events by System Organ Class After Vaccination With ACAM FLU A, or ACAM FLU A With Adjuvant, or a Placebo Vaccine.

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 60 post-vaccination

  2. Number of Participants Reporting a Solicited Injection Site or Systemic Adverse Event After Vaccination With ACAM FLU A, or ACAM FLU A With Adjuvant, or Placebo Vaccine.

    Solicited Injection Site Adverse Events: Erythema, Induration, Pain, Pruritus, Swelling, Rash. Solicited Systemic Adverse Events: Lymph Node Pain, Pyrexia (Temperature), Chills, Constipation, Diarrhoea, Fatigue, Headache, Malaise, Myalgia, Nausea, Vomiting, Alanine Aminotransferase Increased, Aspartate Aminotransferase Increased, Blood Creatinine Increased, Haemoglobin Decreased, Platelet Count Decreased, White Blood Cell Count Increased.

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 7 post-vaccination

  3. Number of Participants With Evaluated Laboratory Abnormalities After Vaccination With ACAM FLU A, or ACAM FLU A With Adjuvant, or Placebo Vaccine.

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 60 post-vaccination 1

  4. Number of Participants With Seroconversion to M2e Antigen During Initial Treatment and Follow Up Period After Vaccination With ACAM FLU A, or ACAM FLU A With Adjuvant, or Placebo Vaccine

    Seroconversion was defined as an end point anti M2e antibody titer ≥ 100. Antibody responses were assessed by means of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

    Measured: Day 15 through Month 10 Post-vaccination 1

  5. Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Vaccine Antibodies After Vaccination With ACAM FLU A, or ACAM FLU A With Adjuvant, or a Placebo Vaccine.

    Antibody responses to the respective vaccines were assessed by means of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

    A GMT value of 50.0 indicates a titer at or below the lowest limit of quantitation (LLOQ)

    Measured: Day 15 through Month 10 Post-vaccination 1

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of Participants With Signs and Symptoms of Influenza After Vaccination With ACAM FLU A, or ACAM FLU A With Adjuvant, or Placebo Vaccine.

    Participants who reported signs and symptoms of influenza were tested using nasal pharyngeal swabs, with secretions cultured using susceptible tissue culture cell lines. Positive cultures were confirmed as influenza using immunofluorescence techniques with influenza strain specific antibodies.

    Measured: Month 4 through Month 10 post-vaccination 1

  2. Number of Participants With Seroconversion to M2e Antigen by Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Subclasses Before and Post-Vaccination With ACAM FLU A, or ACAM FLU A With Adjuvant, or Placebo Vaccine.

    Seroconversion was defined as an antibody Titer ≥ 100. Antibody responses were assessed by means of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 60 Post-vaccination 1

  3. Geometric Mean Titers of Anti-M2e Antigen by Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Subclasses Before and Post-Vaccination With ACAM FLU A, or ACAM FLU A With Adjuvant, or Placebo Vaccine.

    Antibody responses were assessed by means of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

    A GMT value of 50.0 indicates a titer at or below the lowest limit of quantitation (LLOQ).

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 60 Post-vaccination 1

  4. Geometric Mean Titer Ratios of Anti-M2e Antigen by Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Subclasses Before and Post-Vaccination With ACAM FLU A, or ACAM FLU A With Adjuvant, or Placebo Vaccine.

    Antibody responses were assessed by means of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 60 Post-vaccination 1

  5. Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Anti-Hepatitis B Core Antibodies Using Immunoglobulin G (IgG) ELISA Before and Post-Vaccination With ACAM FLU A, or ACAM FLU A With Adjuvant, or Placebo Vaccine.

    Antibody responses were assessed by means of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 15 through Month 10 post-vaccination 1

  6. Number of Participants With Seropositivity to Hepatitis B Core Antigen Pre- and Post-Vaccination 1 With ACAM FLU A, or ACAM FLU A With Adjuvant, or Placebo Vaccine.

    Seropositivity with ELISA was defined as a Pre- or post-vaccination antibody titer ≥ 100. Seropositivity with the Commercial Kit method was defined as a positive pre- or post-vaccination response.

    Seropositivity were assessed by means of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the Commercial Kit methods

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 15 through Month 10 Post-vaccination 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Influenza A Vaccine: ACAM FLU-A in people with Influenza, run by Sanofi at 3 sites in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 19 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 3 sites in 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Jan 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?

Number of Participants Reporting Adverse Events by System Organ Class After Vaccination With ACAM FLU A, or ACAM FLU A With Adjuvant, or a Placebo Vaccine. (time frame: Day 0 through Day 60 post-vaccination). The study lists 5 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 NCT00819013, 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 19 Jan 2012.
