About this study

Official title: The Role of Immunizing Pregnant Women In Protecting Young Infants Against Influenza

Study objectives are to compare

  • influenza antibody levels in infant sera and maternal colostrum or breast milk at delivery, 2, and 6 months women who receive influenza immunization in early pregnancy, late pregnancy, or no influenza immunization during pregnancy and their infants

Study hypotheses are that infants born to pregnant women who receive influenza immunization in late pregnancy will have

  • higher levels and a longer serum influenza antibody duration in sera (hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) titers) and colostrum/breast milk (influenza-specific IgA and IgG by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) than infants of women immunized in early pregnancy or not immunized

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01496079
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Inactivated influenza vaccine in pregnancyHealthy pregnant women who elect to receive inactivated influenza vaccine in early pregnancy (< 20 weeks gestation) and their infants
No inactivated influenza vaccine during pregnancyHealthy pregnant women who decline inactivated influenza vaccine in pregnancy and their infants

What is being measured

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

  1. Influenza antibody titer levels in infants born to women who receive inactivated influenza vaccine in early pregnancy compared with late pregnancy and no immunization

    Influenza titers will be measured on infant serum and breast milk samples by HAI assay and on maternal colostrum or breast milk if available by ELISA and neutralization assay

    Measured: Infant antibody titers at delivery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pregnancy and Influenza, run by University of Utah 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 14 Apr 2017. 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.

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?

Influenza antibody titer levels in infants born to women who receive inactivated influenza vaccine in early pregnancy compared with late pregnancy and no immunization (time frame: Infant antibody titers at delivery). 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 14 Apr 2017.
