What is being measured

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

  1. Number of subjects with antibody response to the vaccine strain

    Measurement by single radial hemolysis (SRH) assay

    Measured: 21 days after 2nd vaccination

  2. Number of subjects demonstrating seroconversion

    Measurement by SRH assay

    Measured: 21 days after 2nd vaccination

  3. Fold increase of antibody response

    Measurement by SRH assay

    Measured: 21 days after 2nd vaccination

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of subjects with antibody response to the vaccine strain

    Measurement by SRH (except at 21 days after 2nd vaccination), microneutralization (MN) and hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay

    Measured: 21 days after 1st and 21+180 days after 2nd vaccination

  2. Number of subjects demonstrating seroconversion

    Measurement by SRH (except at 21 days after 2nd vaccination), MN and HI assay

    Measured: 21 days after 1st and 21+180 days after 2nd vaccination

  3. Antibody response

    Measurement by SRH, MN and HI assay

    Measured: 21 days after 1st and 21 + 180 days after 2nd vaccination

  4. Fold increase of antibody response

    Measurement by SRH (except at 21 days after 2nd vaccination), MN and HI assay

    Measured: 21 days after 1st and 21+180 days after 2nd vaccination as compared to baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing H5N1 (pre-)pandemic influenza vaccine (whole virion, Vero Cell derived, inactivated) in people with H5N1 Influenza, run by Alachua Government Services, Inc. at 3 sites in Japan.

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 4 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 9 Oct 2015. 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 Japan. 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 combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Number of subjects with antibody response to the vaccine strain (time frame: 21 days after 2nd vaccination). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Oct 2015.
