What is being measured

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

  1. Humoral Immune Response in Terms of Haemagglutination (HA) Antibody Titers Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains

    Antibody titers were expressed as Geometric mean titers (GMTs). The vaccine strains assessed were Flu A/Christchurch/16/10 (H1N1), Flu A/Victoria/361/11 (H3N2) and Flu B/Hubei-Wujiagang/158/09 (Yamagata).

    Measured: At Day 0 and Day 21

  2. Number of Subjects Who Were Seroprotected for Anti-HA Antibodies Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains.

    Seroprotection rate (SPR) was defined as the number of vaccinees with serum haemagglutination inhibition (HI) titer greater than or equal to (≥) 1:40.

    Measured: At Day 0 and Day 21

  3. Number of Seroconverted Subjects for Anti-HA Antibodies Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains.

    A seroconverted subjects was defined as a vaccinee with either a pre-vaccination titer less than (<) 1:10 and a post-vaccination titer ≥ 1:40, or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and at least a 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer.

    Measured: At Day 21

  4. Mean Geometric Increase (MGI) for Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titer Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains.

    MGI was defined as the fold increase in serum HI GMT post-vaccination compared to Day 0.

    Measured: At Day 21

  5. Number of Subjects With Seroprotection Power (SPP) for HI Antibody Titer Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains Above the Cut-off Value.

    SPP was defined as the number of vaccinees with a pre-vaccination titer < 1:40 and a post-vaccination titer ≥ 1:40.

    Measured: At Day 21

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Humoral Immune Response in Terms of Anti-HA Antibodies Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains.

    Antibody titers were expressed as Geometric mean titers (GMTs). The vaccine strains included H1N1, H3N2 and Yamagata antigens. The outcome measure was assessed by influenza vaccination status in the 2011-2012 season, in subjects aged greater than (>) 60 years.

    Measured: At Day 0 and Day 21

  2. Number of Subjects Who Were Seroprotected for Anti-HA Antibodies Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains.

    Seroprotection rate SPR was defined as the number of vaccinees with serum haemagglutination inhibition (HI) titer greater than or equal to (≥) 1:40. The outcome measure was assessed by the influenza vaccination status in the 2011-2012 season, in subjects aged > 60 years.

    Measured: At Day 0 and Day 21

  3. Number of Subjects Who Seroconverted for Anti-HA Antibodies Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains.

    SCR was defined as the number of vaccinees with either a pre-vaccination titer less than (<) 1:10 and a post-vaccination titer ≥ 1:40, or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and at least 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer. The outcome measure was assessed by influenza vaccination status in the 2011-2012 season, in subjects aged > 60 years.

    Measured: At Day 21

  4. Mean Geometric Increase (MGI) for Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titer Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains.

    MGI was defined as the fold increase in serum HI GMT post-vaccination compared to Day 0. This outcome measure was assessed by influenza vaccination status in the 2011-2012 season, in subjects aged > 60 years.

    Measured: At Day 21

  5. Duration of Solicited Local Symptoms.

    Duration was defined as number of days with any grade of local symptoms.

    Measured: During the 4-day follow-up period (Days 0-3) after vaccination

  6. Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms.

    Solicited local symptoms assessed were ecchymosis, induration, pain, redness and swelling. Any was defined as any solicited local symptom reported irrespective of intensity. Grade 3 pain was defined as pain that prevented normal everyday activities. Grade 3 ecchymosis, induration, redness and swelling was greater than 100 millimeters (mm) i.e. >100mm.

    Measured: During the 4-day (Day 0-Day 3) follow-up period after vaccination

  7. Duration of Solicited General Symptoms.

    Duration was defined as number of days with any grade of general symptoms.

    Measured: During the 4-day follow-up period (Days 0-3) after vaccination

  8. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms.

    Solicited general symptoms assessed were arthralgia, fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms, headache, myalgia, shivering, increased sweating and fever [axillary temperature above 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)]. Gastrointestinal symptoms included nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and/or abdominal pain.

    Any = any solicited general symptom reported irrespective of intensity and relationship to vaccination. Related = symptoms considered by the investigator to have a causal relationship to vaccination. Grade 3 symptoms = symptoms that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = axillary temperature above 39.0°C

    Measured: During the 4-day follow-up period (Day 0-3) after vaccination

  9. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs).

    Unsolicited AE covers any AE reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as occurrence of any unsolicited symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination. Grade 3 was an event that prevented normal activities and related was defined as an unsolicited AE assessed by the investigator to be causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: During the 21-day follow-up period (Days 0-20) after vaccination

  10. Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    A serious adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence that: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in disability/incapacity or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination and related was an event assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: During the entire study period (Days 0-21)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Fluarix/Influsplit SSW 2012-2013 in people with Influenza, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 4 sites in Germany.

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 9 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Germany. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Dec 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Humoral Immune Response in Terms of Haemagglutination (HA) Antibody Titers Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains (time frame: At Day 0 and Day 21). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Sep 2018.
