What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Geometric Mean of Haemagglutination Inhibiting (HI) Antibodies Titers Against the Three Strains.

    The three strains assessed were A/Brisbane/59/2007 (H1N1), A/Uruguay/716/2007 (H3N2) and B/Brisbane/60/2008.

    Titers were expressed as geometric mean antibody titers (GMTs).

    Measured: At Day 0 and 28 after last vaccine dose.

  2. Number of Seroconverted Subjects for HI Antibodies Against the Three Strains.

    The three strains assessed were A/Brisbane/59/2007 (H1N1), A/Uruguay/716/2007 (H3N2) and B/Brisbane/60/2008.

    Seroconversion was defined as the percentage of vaccinees that had either a pre-vaccination (Day 0) titer < 1:10 and a post-vaccination titer ≥ 1:40 or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and at least a four-fold increase in post-vaccination titer.

    Measured: At Day 28 after last vaccine dose.

  7. Number of Subjects Below 5 Years of Age With Any, Severe (Grade 3) and Related to Vaccination Solicited General Adverse Events (AEs).

    The general symptoms solicited from study subjects younger than 5 years of age were drowsiness, irritability, loss of appetite, and fever(= axillary temperature equal to or above 38.0 degrees Celsius (°C)).

    Any = occurrence of any solicited general symptom regardless of intensity grade or relationship to vaccination.

    Grade 3 drowsiness, irritability = symptom that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 loss of appetite = not eating at all.

    Grade 3 temperature = axillary temperature ≥ 39.0°C and ≤ 40.0°C.

    Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as causally related to the vaccination.

    Measured: During a 4-day follow-up period (Days 0-3) after vaccination.

  8. Number of Subjects of 5 Years of Age and Above Reporting Any, Severe (Grade 3) and Related to Vaccination Solicited General Adverse Events (AEs).

    The general symptoms solicited from study subjects 5 years of age and older were arthralgia (joint pain), fatigue, headache, muscle aches, shivering, and fever(= axillary temperature equal to or above 38.0 degrees Celsius (°C)).

    Any = occurrence of any solicited general symptom regardless of intensity grade or relationship to vaccination.

  11. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Severe (Grade 3) and Related to Vaccination Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs).

    Any adverse event (AE) reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study. Also any 'solicited' symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms was reported as an unsolicited adverse event.

    Grade 3 = event that prevented normal activities. Related = event assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: During a 28 day follow-up period (Days 0-27) after vaccination.

  12. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Severe (Grade 3) and Related to Vaccination Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs), by Age-strata.

    Any adverse event (AE) reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study. Also any 'solicited' symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms was reported as an unsolicited adverse event.

    Subjects in each group were also stratified in the following age-strata: 3-4 years, 5-8 years and 9-17 years.

    Grade 3 = event that prevented normal activities. Related = event assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: During a 28 day follow-up period (Days 0-27) after vaccination.

  13. Number of Subjects Reporting Medically Attended Adverse Events (MAEs).

    For each solicited and unsolicited symptom the subject experiences, the subject/subject's parent(s)/ Legally Acceptable Representative (LAR(s)) was asked if they received medical attention defined as hospitalisation, an emergency room visit or a visit to or from medical personnel (medical doctor) for any reason.

    Measured: During the entire study period (From Day 0 up to Day 180).

  14. Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs).

    An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject that: results in death, is lifethreatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

    Measured: During the entire study period (From Day 0 up to Day 180).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing GSK investigational vaccine GSK1557482A and Fluzone® in people with Influenza, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 28 sites 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 9 inclusion and 14 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 21 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 28 sites 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 15 Feb 2012). 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?

Geometric Mean of Haemagglutination Inhibiting (HI) Antibodies Titers Against the Three Strains. (time frame: At Day 0 and 28 after last vaccine dose.). The study lists 2 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 NCT00980005, which also lists 2 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 21 Sep 2018.
