About this study

Official title: Immunogenicity and Safety Study of a 45 Micrograms Dose of Inactivated, Unadjuvanted H5N1 Influenza Vaccine in Prior Recipients of Live Attenuated H5N1 and H7N3 Influenza Vaccines and in H5 and Live Attenuated Vaccine Naïve Individuals

H5N1 is an influenza virus that has the potential to cause an influenza pandemic. This study will evaluate the safety and immune response to an H5N1 influenza vaccine in people who have previously received one of two versions of an H5N1 vaccine or have previously received an H7N3 vaccine and in people who have not previously received any live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV).

Read the detailed description

Avian influenza viruses, including H1N1 and H5N1, are capable of causing an influenza pandemic. The 2009 H1N1 pandemic caused approximately 10,000 deaths in the United States, and H1N1 and H5N1 influenza outbreaks have been observed in countries around the world. Previous studies have shown that people who received an H5N1 vaccine and then received another H5N1 vaccine years later had a greater antibody response than people who only received a single vaccination. This study will evaluate the safety and immune response to an inactivated H5N1 vaccine in healthy adults who have previously received two doses of the H5N1 VN 04 ca vaccine or the H5N1 HK 03 ca vaccine or who have previously received two doses of the H7N3 ca vaccine, which is another avian influenza vaccine. The study will also enroll people who have not previously received any LAIV.

Participants who previously received an H5N1 or H7N3 vaccine will receive one injection of the H5N1 vaccine at baseline. Participants who have not received any previous LAIV will be randomly assigned to receive either one dose or two doses of the H5N1 vaccine. At a baseline study visit, participants will undergo a medical history review, physical examination, blood collection, vital sign measurements, and a pregnancy test for females. All participants will then receive one injection of the vaccine in the upper arm. After receiving the vaccine, participants will remain in the clinic for 30 minutes for observation and monitoring. All participants will attend additional study visits at Days 3 and 7. Participants who are assigned to receive one vaccination will also attend study visits at Days 28, 56, and 180. Participants who are assigned to receive two vaccinations will attend study visits at Days 28 (at which time they will receive the second vaccination), 35, 56, 84, and 208. Select baseline study procedures will occur at the follow-up study visits.

What is being measured

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

  1. Characterize the kinetics and magnitude of the antibody response (measured by hemagglutination inhibition assay [HI] and microneutralization assay [MN]) to a single 45 micrograms dose of H5N1 vaccine

    Measured: Measured through the 6 months following participants' last vaccination

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Assess the reactogenicity of the H5N1 vaccine in previous recipients of LAIV

    Reactogenicity will be followed for 7 days; serious adverse events (SAEs) will be followed for 6 months after the last immunization.

    Measured: Measured through the 6 months following participants' last vaccination

  2. Assess the immune response to the inactivated H5N1 vaccine (A/VN/1203/04)

    Immune response will be assessed via the following:

    1. Evaluation of memory B-cell responses to H5N1 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISPOT)
    2. Evaluation of HI antibody responses to heterologous non-Clade 1 H5N1 viruses
    3. Evaluation of T-cell mediated responses to H5N1 influenza viruses to the following:
    4. Clade 1 H5N1 viruses
    5. Heterologous cross-clade H5N1 viruses

    Measured: Measured through the 6 months following participants' last vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing H5N1 Vaccine in people with H5N1 Influenza, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) 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 7 inclusion and 23 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 Feb 2016. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Characterize the kinetics and magnitude of the antibody response (measured by hemagglutination inhibition assay [HI] and microneutralization assay [MN]) to a single 45 micrograms dose of H5N1 vaccine (time frame: Measured through the 6 months following participants' last vaccination). 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 NCT01443663, which also lists 3 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 9 Feb 2016.
