About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antibody response in dialysis patents to each of the three influenza vaccine strains included in the licensed seasonal flu vaccine (Formulation 2011-2012).

Read the detailed description

The immune response to influenza vaccine was poor in dialysis population than general population. The investigators want to evaluate another booster vaccination can improve the immune response in dialysis population. All enrolled participants will be divided into 3 groups: participants refused to receive vaccination, those receive either one (week 0) or one more booster vaccination (week 0 and week 3). The investigators will collect serum of participants 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 9 weeks and 18 weeks post vaccination and evaluate the difference of immune response in these 3 groups.

What participants receive

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

  • AdimFlu-SDrug

    All enrolled participants will be divided into 3 groups: participants refused to receive vaccination, those receive either one (week 0) or one more booster vaccination (week 0 and week 3). Each dose of vaccine contains 15μg antigen of each virus strain suggested by WHO (A/California/7/2009 (H1N1);A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2);B/Brisbane/60/2008).

The safety outcome of the vaccineNo interventionAny adverse effect, including systemic or local site, will be recorded during the study period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of antibody titer before and after influenza vaccination

    The primary endpoint will be the seroprotection rate which is defined as the proportion of subjects with HI titer ≥ 1:40. MicroNT-ELISA assay will also be used to evaluate the immune response post vaccination. The immune response based on microNT-ELISA antibody titers would be reported as antibody titer ≥1: 40 or ≥ 1:160 respectively because no threshold of protective NT antibody titer is clearly defined by the international guidelines.

    Measured: 18 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Seroresponse rate

    The seroconversion is defined as the HI titer of the post-vaccination serum is at least 1:40 for those who had a negative pre-vaccination HI serum titer or a four-fold or greater increase in HI titers in subjects who had a positive pre-vaccination HAI serum titer.

    Measured: 0, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 9 weeks and 18 weeks

  2. Seroresponse rate

    The seroresponse is defined as HI or micro-NT titer of the post-vaccination serum is at least 4-fold increase of the HI or micro-NT titer after vaccination.

    Geometric mean folds increase in HI or micro-NT titer.

    Measured: 0, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 9 weeks and 18 weeks

  3. the safety and tolerability profiles of the vaccine

    evaluate the safety and tolerability profiles including the presence or absence of the pre-specified reactogenicity events and other serious/non-serious adverse events of the AdimFlu-S manufactured by Adimmune Corporation.

    Measured: 0, 3 week, 6 weeks, 9 weeks, 18 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing AdimFlu-S in people with Influenza, run by National Cheng-Kung University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 15 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 19 Jan 2012. 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 Taiwan. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Contact Junne Ming Sung, MD (886-6-2353535 ext. 2594, jmsung@mail.ncku.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of antibody titer before and after influenza vaccination (time frame: 18 weeks). 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 19 Jan 2012.
