Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness (immune response) to one or two doses of adjuvanted H1N12009 influenza vaccine in young children. An adjuvant is an additive that can boost the immune response. The study will enroll 300 children (ages 6-35 months). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: PCIRN Evaluation of Pandemic H1N12009 Influenza Vaccine After One andTtwo Doses in Young Children

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness (immune response) to one or two doses of adjuvanted H1N12009 influenza vaccine in young children. An adjuvant is an additive that can boost the immune response. The study will enroll 300 children (ages 6-35 months). Participants will receive 2 doses of adjuvanted H1N12009 vaccine 3 weeks apart. Study procedures include: medical history, blood samples and completing a memory aid. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for approximately 6 weeks.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this study is to determine if one or two doses of the H1N12009 influenza vaccine are needed in young children, a population group at high risk of influenza infection and subsequent hospitalization.

The objectives of this study are two-fold:

  1. To compare the safety and immunogenicity of 1 and 2 doses of adjuvanted H1N12009 influenza vaccine in children 6-35 months of age.
  2. To conduct the trial soon after the vaccines become available and share the observations with health officials and the public as soon as possible.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing adjuvanted Arepanrix in people with Influenza, run by University of British Columbia at 6 sites in Canada.

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 2 inclusion and 10 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 15 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Canada. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Safety and immunogenicity of one and two doses Arepanrix (time frame: Day 7 and Day 21 post vaccination measured at day 42). 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 NCT01000831, 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 15 Apr 2015.
