About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Flumist, a Live Attenuated Intranasal Influenza Vaccine, and Inactivated Influenza Vaccine in Children With Cancer

Eligible research subjects will be randomized to receive either FluMist or inactivated influenza vaccine then stratified by age and necessity to receive either one or two immunizations. Subjects requiring one immunization will be immunized at Day 0. Subjects requiring two immunizations will be immunized at Day 0 and Day 28. Subjects will be observed for 30 minutes following vaccination and given a diary card to record symptoms after each vaccination.

Read the detailed description

The secondary objectives of this study are to:

  1. Describe the safety of FluMist and inactivated influenza vaccine.
  2. Describe the incidence and duration of viral replication following immunization with FluMist.
  3. To examine the association between immunization response (seroconversion or seroprotection) and baseline clinical factors (age, type of malignancy, absolute neutrophil count, absolute lymphocyte count, serum IgA, IgG and IgM levels).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing FluMist and Inactivated influenza vaccine in people with Cancer, run by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital at 1 site 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 6 inclusion and 6 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 13 Oct 2011. 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 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 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?

The primary objective of this study is to describe the immune response of FluMist compared with inactivated influenza vaccine in mild to moderately immunocompromised children with cancer (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT00906750, 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 13 Oct 2011.
