  3. Geometric Mean Fold Increase (GMFI) in the HI and MN Antibody Titre After the First Vaccination

    GMFI in antibody titre was defined as the geometric mean of the fold increase in the post-vaccination antibody titre over the pre-vaccination antibody titre.

    Measured: Before and 21 days after the first vaccination

  4. GMFI in the HI and MN Antibody Titer After the Second Vaccination

    GMFI in antibody titre was defined as the geometric mean of the fold increase in the post-vaccination antibody titre over the pre-vaccination antibody titre.

  7. Percentage of Participants With a Baseline Titre Less Than 1:10 Achieving Seroconversion After Vaccination

    The number of participants with a baseline titre less than 1:10 differed according to antibody assay (HI or MN) and is shown in the category titles accordingly. The total number of participants analysed includes all evaluable participants; however, the analysis is stratified by baseline titre and those participants with a baseline titre less than 1:10 are presented in this outcome measure while those with a baseline titre of 1:10 or more are presented in a separate outcome measure.

    Antibody titre seroconversion was defined as participants with a pre-vaccination titre of less than 1:10 achieving a post-vaccination titre of 1:40 or more; or participants with a pre-vaccination titre of 1:10 or more achieving a four-fold or greater increase in post-vaccination HI titre.

    Measured: Before and 21 days after each vaccination

  8. Percentage of Participants With a Baseline Titre Greater Than or Equal to 1:10 Achieving Seroconversion After Vaccination

    The number of participants with a baseline titre greater than or equal to 1:10 differed according to antibody assay (HI or MN) and is shown in the category titles accordingly. The total number of participants analysed includes all evaluable participants; however, the analysis is stratified by baseline titre and those participants with a baseline titre of 1:10 or more are presented in this outcome measure while those with a baseline titre less than 1:10 are presented in a separate outcome measure.

    Antibody titre seroconversion was defined as participants with a pre-vaccination titre of less than 1:10 achieving a post-vaccination titre of 1:40 or more; or participants with a pre-vaccination titre of 1:10 or more achieving a four-fold or greater increase in post-vaccination HI titre (ie, a significant increase in antibody titre after vaccination).

    Measured: Before and 21 days after each vaccination

  9. GMFI in the HI Antibody Titre 180 Days After the Second Vaccination

    The GMFI in antibody titre was calculated by taking the anti-logs of the means of the log transformed fold-increases in the antibody titre 180 days after the second vaccination over the antibody titre 21 days after the second vaccination.

    Measured: 21 days and 180 days after the second vaccination

  19. Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs), and New Onset of Chronic Illnesses (NOCIs)

    An AESI was defined as an AE for which the association with seasonal influenza vaccine was unclear. A NOCI was defined as the diagnosis of a new medical condition that was chronic in nature, including those potentially controllable by medication (eg, diabetes, asthma).

    Measured: Up to 180 days after the last vaccination

  20. Frequency and Intensity of Unsolicited AEs

    Unsolicited AEs included AEs other than those specifically sought for.

    The grading definitions were:

    Mild (Grade 1): Symptoms were easily tolerated and did not interfere with daily activities.

    Moderate (Grade 2): Enough discomfort to cause some interference with daily activities.

    Severe (Grade 3): Incapacitating, with inability to work or do usual activities.

    Measured: From Day 0 to Day 20 after vaccination; up to 180 days after the last vaccination for SAEs, AESIs, and NOCIs

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CSL425 in people with Influenza Caused by the Novel Influenza A (H1N1) Virus, run by Seqirus at 1 site in Australia.

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 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 28 Jun 2018. 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 Australia. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 21 Nov 2013). 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?

Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) and Microneutralisation (MN) Antibody Titre Seroconversion Rate After the First Vaccination (time frame: Before and 21 days after the first vaccination). The study lists 6 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 NCT00938639, 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 28 Jun 2018.
