About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Cell-mediated Immunity and Antibody Response to Influenza Vaccination and Correlates of Protection in Seniors

This study is to study the immune response to the flu vaccine in people 65 years old and older. Only adults 65 years old and older and who are getting their flu vaccine are being asked to join in this study. The investigators plan to enroll approximately 100 people in this study in the 2010-2011 flu season. Vanderbilt is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on this study.

There will be 5 study visits. Up to 4 tablespoons of blood from a vein will be obtained prior to the flu shot. Return visits will be 1, 2, and 4 weeks later,with up to 4 tablespoons of blood drawn again. Patients will be randomized to receive either the standard dose or the high dose flu vaccine. Both flu vaccines are FDA-approved.

Read the detailed description

During the 2010-2011 influenza season, approximately 100 adults ≥65 years of age will be enrolled. After consent, blood and serum will be collected and then subjects will be randomized to either standard or high dose influenza vaccine (both FDA approved vaccines). Vaccination will be done by an unblinded nurse. All further evaluations and analysis will be done by a blinded staff member. Medical history, relevant medications, and functional/nutritional status will be assessed at the first visit. Subjects will return (Table 3) for blood and serum draws on days 7, 14, 28 and for a serum blood draw after influenza season. No micronutrient samples will be drawn, but serum will be kept for possible vitamin D testing. During influenza season, subjects will answer a questionnaire about influenza-like illness (ILI) every two weeks (either by email or telephone) and will be asked to return for a nasal swab if an ILI is present. Comparisons will be made of the cell-mediated response of those vaccinated with standard versus high dose vaccines. Analyses will be done accounting for age, use of immunomodulating agents, and underlying medical conditions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High dose influenza vaccine Sanofi-Pasteur and fluzone by sanofi pasteur in people with Immunity to Influenza Vaccine, run by Vanderbilt University at 1 site 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 24 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Mar 2014). 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?

Cellular Immune Response (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT01189123, 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 24 Apr 2014.
