About this study

Official title: A Phase I Single Blinded Randomised Exploratory Trial in Elderly Volunteers to Assess and Compare Safety and Immunogenicity of Adjuvanted Seasonal Influenza Vaccine (Investigational Vaccine) to Standard Seasonal Influenza Vaccine.

The safety of parenterally administrated investigational vaccine (commercial influenza vaccine formulated with adjuvant Matrix M) in healthy adults (age 18-50) and healthy elderly (age 65-75), will be investigated in the study. Moreover, the study aims to study parameters associated with improved protection against clinical disease in elderly. Such parameters include HI-titres, a balanced Th1/Th2 response as well as a functional cellular immune response.

Vaccination will start in 22 healthy adults receiving the investigational vaccine. Vaccination of elderly will be initiated only after demonstration of safety in adults. 88 healthy elderly volunteers will be vaccinated, 44 will receive the seasonal influenza vaccine alone and 44 will receive the investigational vaccine. Vaccines will be administrated intramuscularly in the upper arm. One dose will be administered to each volunteer included in the study. Blood samples for basic immunological assessments of cellular and humoral immunity will be taken at day 0, 7, 28, 90 and 150.

The investigational vaccine is equal to one standard human dose of a commercial seasonal influenza vaccine to which 50 µg of adjuvant Matrix M has been added.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Immunogenicity in adults and elderly given a dose of seasonal influenza vaccine adjuvanted with Matrix M

    Measured: 1 - 7 months

  2. Immunogenicity in elderly given a dose of seasonal influenza vaccine alone or adjuvanted with Matrix M

    Measured: 1 - 7 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Matrix M and Seasonal influenza vaccine in people with Influenza, run by Isconova AB at 1 site in Hungary.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 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 Hungary. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Safety in elderly and adults given a single parenterally administrated dose of seasonal influenza vaccine adjuvanted with Matrix M (time frame: 1 - 3 months). 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 30 Sep 2011.
