About this study

The study described here will immunize children with trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) and determine whether this reduces influenza illness among the immunized children and their older family members. The comparison or control group for the children receiving influenza vaccine will be children immunized with inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV). The study will also provide information on the amount of disease produced by influenza in the study population.

Read the detailed description

Influenza is an important cause of illness among children and adults in the United States. Influenza is likely also an important cause of illness in India, but published data on influenza infections in India are limited, especially for children. Although influenza vaccines are used routinely in the United States, including in young children, influenza vaccines have not seen widespread use in India. This is likely due to the lack of information from India about disease burden due to influenza and because the influenza vaccines have never been tested for efficacy in India. In addition, because young children are thought to be important in the spread of influenza in families, it is possible immunization of children against influenza will reduce influenza infections among older children and adults in the home.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Inactivated Trivalent Influenza VaccineBiological

    Also called split virion trivalent influenza vaccine, Vaxigrip

    Vaccine administration will occur twice, one month apart, in the first year of participation in the study. This will occur as TIV vaccine becomes available in India, in the early autumn. Subsequent years will provide one immunization. Due to the inclusion of the pandemic 2009 influenza A H1N1 virus in the 2010-2011 northern hemisphere vaccine formulation and recommendations that children should receive 2 doses of this vaccine this study will administer 2 doses of vaccine in the second year of the study.

  • Inactivated polio vaccine (IPV)Biological

    Also called Imovax

    Vaccine administration will occur twice, one month apart, in the first year of participation in the study to parallel administration of TIV (experimental intervention). Subsequent years will provide one immunization except 2011 schedule modified to accommodate changes in TIV schedule as per above..

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Inactivated Trivalent Influenza Vaccine and Inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) in people with Influenza, run by Wayne Sullender, M.D. at 1 site in India.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 22 Feb 2013. 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 India. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Laboratory-confirmed influenza infection in vaccinated child (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT00934245, which also lists 3 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 22 Feb 2013.
