About this study

Official title: Assessment of Dose-sparing of Pandemic A/California/7/2009 H1N1 Influenza Vaccine Administered Intradermally by Needle-free Disposable-syringe Jet Injector (DSJI)

This study will evaluate the immunological response and the safety profiles of seasonal, inactivated vaccine which contains in its composition the A/California/7/2009 H1N1 "pandemic" influenza virus, delivered via ID in reduced dose (0,1 mL) and (0,2 mL), and via IM in full dose (0,5 mL) delivered with needle-free, disposable-syringe jet injector, and control group with via IM in full dose (0,5 mL) delivered syringes and needles in subjects from 42 to 60 years old.

Reduced doses into the skin will be delivered by an investigational intradermal model of a licensed, needle-free, disposable-syringe jet injector (DSJI) system, LECTRAJET® M3 RA manufactured by D'Antonio Consultants International, Inc. DSJIs avoid the drawbacks and dangers of conventional needle-syringe injection. Delivery by DSJI into the skin is also rapid and simple and overcomes the difficulty and patient discomfort of the traditional Mantoux needle method for skin injection, as used for BCG vaccination and tuberculosis skin testing.

Participants will be assessed for local and systemic adverse events by clinical observation immediately after injection and then upon return on day 21 after each injection. In addition, investigators will call participants by telephone on days 2 and 7 days to collect information local and systemic side effects.

Serum will be collected on day 21 after each injection, and assayed for hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) using conventional methods performed by the Virology Lab of the Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, blinded to the study arm allocations of each participant. Information about the adverse events would be collected on days 1, 3 and 7 after dose delivery. The investigators assessing adverse reactions will be blinded to the study arm to which each subject was allocated.

The primary endpoint of the study is to evaluate the vaccine's immunogenicity by HAI, each dose in accordance with international parameters which include: seroconversion or significant title increase (SCR), the frequencies by study arm of seroprotection defined as a post-vaccination titer of >40 (1/dil) (SPR), as well as the Geometric Mean Titers (GMTRs) of post-vaccination sera.

Reduced doses into the skin will be delivered by an investigational intradermal model of a licensed, needle-free, disposable-syringe jet injector (DSJI) system, LECTRAJET® M3 RA manufactured by D'Antonio Consultants International, Inc. ( East Syracuse, NY, USA) . DSJIs avoid the drawbacks and dangers of conventional needle-syringe injection. Delivery by DSJI into the skin is also rapid and simple and overcomes the difficulty and patient discomfort of the traditional Mantoux needle method for skin injection, as used for BCG vaccination and tuberculosis skin testing.

Participants will be assessed for local and systemic adverse events by clinical observation immediately after injection and then upon return on day 21 after each injection. In addition, investigators will call participants by telephone on days 2 and 7 days to collect information local and systemic side effects. Adverse events will be classified and analyzed according to case definitions established by the Brighton Collaboration Group.

Serum will be collected on day 21 after each injection, and assayed for hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) using conventional methods performed by the Virology Lab of the Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, blinded to the study arm allocations of each participant.

Participants will be excluded if they have a prior history of influenza disease caused by A/California/7/2009 H1N1 or prior vaccination for same, among other exclusion and inclusion criteria to apply. Participants will be excluded retroactively from analysis if their pre-vaccination HAI assay discovers pre-existing seroprotective titers of >40 against pandemic virus, representing preexisting H1N1 exposure or vaccination

What is being measured

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

  1. Immunogenicity

    Assess whether the experimental and standard dosages/delivery routes (ID and IM) for each age group met all modified criteria for assessment of influenza vaccines 21 days after vaccination for soroconversion for A/California/7/2009 H1N1 influenza virus.

    Measured: 21 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Safety

    Evaluate frequency and severity of local and systemic adverse events following immunization between investigational (reduced dose) and control (standard dose) adult groups up to 21 days after vaccination in accordance with the definitions of the Brighton Collaboration Group.

    Measured: 21 days

  2. Seasonal influenza immunogenicity

    Assess whether the experimental and standard dosages/delivery routes (ID and IM) for each age group met all modified criteria for assessment of influenza vaccines 21 days after vaccination for soroconversion for 2012 seasonal influenza viruses.

    Measured: 21 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing 2012 trivalent influenza vaccine in people with Influenza, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.

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 9 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 21 Jun 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 Brazil. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Glacus Brito, MD (551138731562, glacus@usp.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Immunogenicity (time frame: 21 days). 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 21 Jun 2012.
