About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open Label, Randomized Study in Healthy Adults to Compare Safety and Immunogenicity of Different Administration Schedules of Virosomal Influenza Vaccine

The goal of the study is to assess the safety and immune response after vaccination with different doses and vaccination schedules of virosomal influenza vaccine.

Read the detailed description

Virosomal influenza vaccine is usually administered intramuscularly as a single 0.5 mL dose. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of different doses and vaccination schedules. A total of 84 healthy adults aged 18-50 years will be randomized (1:1:1) into 3 treatment groups: subjects of group 1 will receive a standard dose (0.5 mL) at Days 1, 29, and 57; subjects of group 2 will receive a double dose (1.0 mL) at Day 1 and a standard dose (0.5 mL) at Day 57; subjects of group 3 will receive a triple dose (0.5 mL) at Day 1. Local and systemic solicited adverse events up to Day 4 after each vaccination will be documented. To assess the subjects' humoral and cellular immune response against homologous and heterologous virus strains, blood will be drawn from each participant at baseline (Day 1), at the 4 subsequent monthly visits (Months 1 to 4) and at Month 12.

What participants receive

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

  • Virosomal influenza vaccineBiological

    Also called Inflexal V

    Virosomal influenza vaccine with the recommended vaccine composition for season 2011-2012:

    • 15 μg HA antigen of A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)-like virus
    • 15 μg HA antigen of A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2)-like virus
    • 15 μg HA antigen of B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus

    Intramuscular (i.m.) administration (M. deltoideus or M. vastus lateralis)

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of local and systemic solicited adverse events

    Measured: 4 days after each vaccination (day of vaccination and the followoing 3 days)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence of unsolicited AEs

    Measured: 4 weeks after each vaccination

  2. Humoral and cellular immune response against homologous and heterologous vaccine strains

    Measured: Baseline (before vacination) and Months 1, 2, 3, 4, and 12 after vaccination

  3. Incidence of SAEs

    Measured: up to 12 months after baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Virosomal influenza vaccine in people with Influenza, run by Crucell Holland BV at 1 site in Belgium.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2014. 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 Belgium. 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?

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?

Incidence of local and systemic solicited adverse events (time frame: 4 days after each vaccination (day of vaccination and the followoing 3 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 20 Aug 2014.
