About this study

Official title: Etude de Phase II évaluant l'immunogénicité et la tolérance d'un Vaccin inactivé Non adjuvanté Contre la Grippe A (H1N1) après Transplantation rénale

The study is aimed at assessing the safety and efficacy of an inactivated and non adjuvanted Influenza A (H1N1) vaccine in renal transplant recipients.

Read the detailed description

120 renal transplant recipients under triple immunosuppression will be immunized against influenza H1N1v.

The primary endpoint will be the humoral immunity assessed 21 days after each injection on day 0 and day 21:

  • seroprotection rate, defined as the percentage of patients with an antibody title against Hemaglutinin ≥ 1/40e after immunization
  • seroconversion rate, defined as the the percentage of patients with an antibody title against Hemaglutinin < 1/10e before immunization and ≥ 1/40e after or with a prevaccine title ≥1/10e increasing at least 4 fold after immunization
  • seroconversion factor, defined as the ratio between pre and post vaccine geometrical means of the antibody titles.

Secondary endpoints will be:

  • Seroconversion rate, seroprotection rate and seroconversion factor on day 182
  • Percentage of patients with an antibody title > 1/40e on day 182 (Immune memory)
  • Number and severity of clinical and biological adverse events
  • Number of cases of pandemic H1N1v influenza virologically confirmed
  • Study of associated parameters influencing the results of H1N1v vaccination in terms of seroprotection, seroconversion and seroconversion factor
  • Assessment of the cellular immune response against H1N1v
  • Assessment of the H1N1v vaccination on graft function and on humoral anti-HLA response.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing inactivated non adjuvanted pandemic H1N1 vaccine in people with Renal Transplant Recipients and Immunosuppression, run by Institut National de la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale, France at 3 sites in France.

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 19 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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?

Specific humoral response 21 days after each administration Seroprotection and seroconversion rates (time frame: after each vaccination and at 6 months). 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 NCT01086904, 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 19 Feb 2026.
