About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Non-Blinded, Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity, Safety and Optimal Dose of Three Doses Regimen of Recombinant Influenza H5N1 Vaccine, After Two Vaccinations Given 3 Weeks Apart, in Healthy Young Adults.

UMN-0501 is a purified recombinant influenza HA vaccine (A H5N1/Vietnam/1203/2004).

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate immunogenicity, safety and optimal dose among three different doses of UMN-0501 following two same-dose vaccinations of UMN-0501 per patient with a 3 week interval between vaccination in healthy young adults.

Immunogenicity will be confirmed by both microneutralization (MN) antibody and hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) titer levels in the serums of subjects after receiving different doses of UMN-0501. There will be three dose groups with 30 subjects per group for a total of 90 healthy young adults aged 20-40 years enrolled in this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of subjects who achieve seroconversion, seroprotection, GMTs and GMT ratio to baseline, 21 days after the 2nd vaccination defined by serum neutralizing and HAI titers against the influenza H5N1 A/Vietnam/1203/2004 virus.

    Measured: Day 42: 21 days after 2nd vaccination (42 days after 1st vaccination)

  2. Frequencies of AEs including vaccine-related reactogenicity events.

    Measured: Throughout study period: Day0 to 42

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To explore T-cell response in the subset of subjects after each vaccination as determined by proliferation and cytokine production capacity of T-cells re-stimulate by H5N1 A/Vietnam/1203/2004 recombinant virus antigens.

    Measured: Day0, Day 21 and Day 42

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing UMN-0501 in people with Influenza and Virus Diseases, run by UMN Pharma Inc. at 2 sites in Japan.

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 3 inclusion and 17 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 Feb 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Japan. 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?

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?

Number of subjects who achieve seroconversion, seroprotection, GMTs and GMT ratio to baseline, 21 days after the 2nd vaccination defined by serum neutralizing and HAI titers against the influenza H5N1 A/Vietnam/1203/2004 virus. (time frame: Day 42: 21 days after 2nd vaccination (42 days after 1st vaccination)). 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?
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 Feb 2010.
