About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Dose Sparing Intradermal 2010/2011 Trivalent Influenza Vaccination With the Novel Microneedle Delivery Device

Intradermal influenza vaccination may result in better efficacy when compare to intramuscular vaccination.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized, single centre trial in the Queen Mary Hospital. We aim to recruit 400 subjects [with a minimum of 50 subjects per group] who would be qualified for the Hospital Authority (HA)/ Centre for Health Protection (CHP) Mass Vaccination Program for 2010/2011 TIV. These patients include all elderly at the age of 65 or above and all adult patients at the age of 21 or above with chronic illness (or healthcare workers). Subjects will be randomly assigned into 4 groups: Group 1 (ID1) to receive a single low-dose intradermal injection of 2010/2011 TIV, with a microneedle device. Group 2 (ID2) to receive a single higher low-dose intradermal injection of 2010/2011 TIV with a microneedle device. Group 3 (IM15) to receive a single full-dose (15ug) standard 2010/2011 TIV delivered intramuscularly by conventional needle. Group 4 (INT) to receive a single low-dose intradermal injection of 2010/2011 TIV, with Intanza® needle. The 2010/2011 TIV used will be Fluzone®, Sanofi-Pasteur for group 3 and Intanza®, Sanofi-Pasteur for group 1,2 and 4.

What is being measured

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

  1. seroconversion rate

    Seroconversion rate (percentage of subjects with a fourfold increase in antibody titres, providing a minimal post vacination titre of 1:40) on day 21 by TIV 2010/2011 hemagglutination inhibition (HI) between the ID and IM groups

    Measured: day 21

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Adverse events

    Adverse events secondary to vaccination with different devices

    Measured: 30 minutes post vaccination

  2. Seroprotection rate

    percentage of subjects with a post vaccination titre of at least 1:40

    Measured: Day 21

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TIV 2010/2011 influenza vaccine and INT in people with Influenza, run by The University of Hong Kong at 1 site in China.

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 7 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 25 Feb 2011. 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 China. 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?

seroconversion rate (time frame: day 21). 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 25 Feb 2011.
