About this study

Official title: A Study to Examine Immunological Response in HIV-Infected Patients Receiving the Seasonal Influenza Vaccine

Investigators in the Division of Infectious Diseases are carrying out a study to determine if human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seropositive patients receiving the Seasonal Influenza vaccination develop an adequate antibody response. The study group will consist of individuals seen in the Infectious Diseases Clinic who are HIV-seropositive and receive the Seasonal Influenza vaccine.

Read the detailed description

This is a study to establish the immunologic response in HIV-seropositive individuals to the FDA approved seasonal influenza vaccine when it is available. HIV-seropositive individuals seen in the Infectious Diseases Clinic at George Washington University, Medical Faculty Associates and receive this vaccination, on label, as part of standard of care will be invited to participate.

The study will require a 10-ml sample of whole blood to be drawn from each participant prior to the dose of the seasonal influenza vaccine and at 3 weeks after the vaccine dose and at 3 months after the vaccine dose. No additional samples are envisioned. Serum will be separated and will frozen and stored in the Clinical Trials Unit until all patient samples have been obtained. At that time the antibody levels to the vaccine antigens will be measured.

Data that will be collected from the subject's medical record includes the following:

  • Age, gender, race
  • CD4 count
  • HIV viral load
  • History of prior influenza immunization including the 2009-2010 trivalent vaccine
  • HIV antiviral medication history

Data that will be collected from the subject during participation in study

  • Antibody levels prior to vaccination
  • Dose date of the seasonal influenza vaccination
  • Antibody levels 3 weeks after the vaccination

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in antibody levels

    The primary endpoint will be to measure the change from baseline in vaccine-strain specific antibody levels. Titers of > or = 40 U will be considered protective and a > 4-fold rise in antibody titer will be considered an adequate response in previously antibody-negative patients. Data from this study will assist in defining the efficacy of the influenza vaccine in the HIV-infected population and the ability of HIV-infected patients to generate an appropriate immune response, as well as maintain an appropriate response, to the influenza vaccine.

    Measured: Pre-, 3 weeks post-, 3 months post- vaccine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Influenza, Human and Human Immunodeficiency Virus I Infection, run by George Washington 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 5 inclusion and 2 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 May 2023. 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?

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?

Change in antibody levels (time frame: Pre-, 3 weeks post-, 3 months post- vaccine). 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 19 May 2023.
