About this study

Official title: Clinical Correlates of Immunologic Responses to the Flu Vaccine

RATIONALE: The influenza vaccine may help prevent flu in patients who have undergone stem cell transplant.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well the influenza vaccine works in preventing flu in patients who have undergone stem cell transplant and in healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To examine the incidence rate of influenza infection over two flu seasons in patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at the City of Hope National Medical Center.
  • To correlate influenza infection with graft-vs-host disease, age, and transplant type in these patients.
  • To examine and compare the incidence rate of influenza in healthy volunteers to the incidence rate in these patients.

OUTLINE: Beginning approximately 2 weeks after vaccination or the onset of flu season, patients and healthy participants undergo nasopharyngeal washes every 14-17 days (2-10 washes) during the months of November-March of the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 flu seasons. Samples are analyzed by direct fluorescent antibodies.

Patients and participants complete case report forms detailing flu-like symptoms experienced in the 2 weeks before sample collection.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 150 patients and 75 healthy volunteers will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cytology specimen collection procedure, fluorescent antibody technique and assessment of therapy complications in people with Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors and Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders, run by City of Hope Medical Center 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?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2015. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Very low enrollment and follow-up, cannot meet study objectives). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Incidence of influenza infection in patients and healthy volunteers. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 Jun 2015.
