What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • seasonal influenza vaccineBiological

    Also called Optaflu

    Subjects received one single IM dose of trivalent Surface, Antigen, Inactivated, Influenza Vaccine Produced in Mammalian Cell Culture during the vaccination visit, according to the study protocol (follow-up period: until day 22) .

What is being measured

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

  1. Antibody response as measured by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay

    Antibody response to each influenza antigen as measured by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) at 21 days post-immunization in adult and elderly subjects in complinace with the requirements of the current EU recommendations for clinical trials related to yearly licensing of influenza vaccines

    Measured: 22 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Antibody response as measured by single radial hemolysis (SRH) assay

    Antibody response to each influenza antigen as measured by single radial hemolysis (SRH) at 21 days post-immunization in adult and elderly subjects in complinace with the requirements of the current EU recommendations for clinical trials related to yearly licensing of influenza vaccines

    Measured: 22 days

  2. Number of subjects with solicited local and systemic reactions

    To evaluate the safety of a single intramuscular (IM) injection of Optaflu in adult and elderly subjects in compliance with the requirements of the current EU recommendations for clinical trials related to yearly licensing of influenza vaccines (CPMP/BWP/214/96)

    Measured: 7 days post vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing seasonal influenza vaccine in people with Influenza, run by Novartis Vaccines at 1 site in Germany.

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 17 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 12 Oct 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 Germany. 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 phase mean?

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?

Antibody response as measured by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay (time frame: 22 days). 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 NCT01422512, 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 12 Oct 2011.
