About this study

Official title: An Observational Study to Characterize Children and Adults With Influenza Like Illness (ILI) in Mexico

A study to characterize children and adults with influenza like symptoms and to determine risk factors for severe disease and death among those with H1N1.

Read the detailed description

In March 2009, a new influenza A virus, novel H1N1 (commonly referred to as "swine flu"), began causing an increase in reports of influenza-like illness in North America. Although the virus subsequently spread rapidly around the world, the earliest reported outbreak of cases occurred in Mexico City, which is seen as the epicenter of the influenza pandemic, the world's first in 40 years.

Many questions remain about this emerging pandemic and the virus causing it, the answers to which could better inform patient management and policy decisions both in Mexico and internationally. Sparse reliable clinical research data have been collected on the natural history of the disease, on the risk factors associated with severe disease, or on the severity of this pandemic influenza as compared to seasonal influenzas. This study is an initial step to better characterize individuals in Mexico who develop influenza-like illness (including illness caused by novel H1N1), to describe the clinical management of those individuals, and to assess their short-term outcome. The planned data collection will provide timely information to inform policy and guidelines for the local populations and governments involved and may also be used to design future ancillary studies of this influenza virus and/or studies of other emerging infectious diseases.

The purpose of this observational study is to characterize individuals in Mexico who seek medical care for influenza-like illness (ILI) and to describe clinical course over a period of at least 28 days after enrollment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Characterize individuals who develop influenza-like illness, influenza A, and/or H1N1 or other viruses

    Characterize demographics, co-morbid conditions, prior influenza vaccination, the use of antivirals, and clinical course and treatment

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Death

    For all participants, to estimate the percentage who die

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Hospitalization

    For all participants, to estimate the percentages who require hospitalization due to severe influenza

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Risk factors

    For all participants, to determine risk factors for severe disease

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Repository of oropharyngeal and nasal samples

    Establish a repository of oropharyngeal and nasal samples to determine a precise diagnosis, to molecularly characterize the virus

    Measured: 5 years

  5. Repository of serum and PBMC

    Establish a repository of serum and PBMC to study biomarkers that predispose and correlate with severe influenza

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Influenza-like Illness, run by Mexican Emerging Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Network at 6 sites in Mexico.

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 6 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 11 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Mexico. 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?

Characterize individuals who develop influenza-like illness, influenza A, and/or H1N1 or other viruses (time frame: 5 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 NCT01418287, 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 11 Sep 2014.
