  • Adult

Study population: Participants will include people who have recovered from influenza, received a seasonal influenza vaccine, or have both recovered from influenza and received a seasonal influenza vaccine.

Who may be able to join

  • Currently healthy males 18 - 59 years of age with a history suggestive of having anti-influenza antibodies (either or both of the following):
  • An influenza-like illness (e.g., fever, chills, malaise, cough, myalgias, nausea). Subjects must asymptomatic and must be afebrile for ≥ 7 days, and must enroll within 12 months of onset of illness.
  • Vaccinated with a licensed influenza vaccine. Enrollment must occur >14 days and < 12 months from date of vaccination.
  • Must be an adult male Department of Defense (DoD)/beneficiary

  • A demonstrated H1N1 HAI titer of 1:160 or greater and H3N2 HAI titer of 1:40 or greater.
  • Must also meet all Standard-of-Care inclusion criteria for donation of blood or plasma at the FDA-licensed donor center prior to every donation session. More information on this criterion can be found in the protocol.

Who cannot join

  • Donors that do not meet all Standard-of-Care FDA approved requirements for the donation of blood and production of FFP as determined by the FDA-licensed donor center prior to every donation session may be excluded from further participation in this study. Study exclusion will be determined by the principal investigator (PI) or lead investigator at the study site.
  • Donors that fail the Standard-of-Care screening and Blood Borne Pathogen screening for the following blood borne pathogens at the donor center will be excluded:
  • Anti-HIV-I/II
  • Anti-human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV)-I/II
  • Anti-hepatitis C (HCV)
  • Anti-hepatitis B core antigen (HBc)

  • Serologic test for syphilis
  • HIV nucleic acid test (NAT)
  • HCV NAT
  • West Nile virus (WNV) NAT
  • Participation in other medical research that includes:

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study for Collection of High-Titer Anti-Influenza A Plasma

Treatment options are limited for the treatment of influenza. This study will collect blood from people who have been exposed to the influenza virus or who have received a seasonal influenza vaccine. The blood plasma will be used in a future clinical trial to treat people hospitalized with influenza.

Read the detailed description

There is a concern that the influenza virus will become resistant to the standard of care, oseltamivir (commonly known as Tamiflu), as resistance to this medication has been observed in people infected with the seasonal influenza virus. Because of the possibility of drug resistance, additional treatment options for influenza are needed. The purpose of this study is to collect blood from people who have recovered from influenza or who have received a seasonal influenza vaccine. The blood will then be processed into Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-licensed fresh frozen plasma (FFP). In a future clinical trial, this plasma will be used as a treatment for people hospitalized with influenza.

This study will enroll people who have recovered from influenza or received a seasonal influenza vaccine. Participants will donate blood at FDA-licensed blood donor centers up to three times during the 240-day study period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Influenza A Virus Infection, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 2 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 7 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 13 Mar 2019. 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 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 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?

Collection of high antibody titer anti-influenza FFP (time frame: Collected at each study visit). 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 NCT01136057, 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 13 Mar 2019.
