About this study

Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity of Cell-culture Non-adjuvanted and MF59-adjuvanted Influenza H1N1 Vaccines in Healthy Adults

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antibody response to one and two doses of influenza A/H1N1v vaccine in healthy adults.

Read the detailed description

An observer-blind, single-centre study in which 7 groups of 25-30 male and female adults ≥18-50 years of age will be randomly allocated to receive two doses of cell culture non-adjuvanted or MF59-adjuvanted influenza A/California/4/2009 (H1N1) surface antigen vaccine containing 3.75, 7.5 or 15µg haemagglutinin by intramuscular 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. Three additional groups will receive two doses of MF59-adjuvanted influenza A/California/4/2009 (H1N1) surface antigen vaccine containing 7.5 µg haemagglutinin by intramuscular injection on day 0 or separated by 7 or 14 days. Subjects will be observed for local and systemic reactions for 30 minutes after each immunisation and will be monitored for any reactions and other adverse events for 7 days after each immunisation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MF59 H1N1 vaccine and Plain H1N1 vaccine 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 10 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 8 Aug 2012. 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?

GMT antibody rises (time frame: 42 days). 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 NCT00943358, 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 8 Aug 2012.
