  • Subject has a rash, dermatologic condition or tattoos which may interfere with injection site reaction rating.
  • Evidence of substance (alcohol or drug) abuse or of neurological or psychiatric diagnoses which, even if clinically stable, are deemed by the investigator to render the potential subject unable/unlikely to provide accurate safety reports.
  • Subjects with abnormal laboratory results at screening:(1) ALT or AST > or = 1 x upper limit of normal (ULN). (2) Creatinine > or = 1 x ULN. (3) Any significant laboratory abnormality as judged by the investigator

What participants receive

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

  • Pandemic Influenza Vaccine (H5N1)Biological

    Also called AdimFlu-W (H5N1) Pandemic Influenza Vaccine

    Inactivated whole-virion vaccine

    1. Administration route: Intramuscular Injection
    2. Dosing schedule: 2 injections - at Day 1 and Day 22 separately
    3. Dose(s): Each dose (0.5 mL) contains the 15 mcg hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza A (A/Vietnam/1194/2004)
Study groups in NCT01640691
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Study vaccine (AdimFlu-W)Experimental0.5 mL/dose, a total of 2 doses, 21 days apart
Receives: Biological: Pandemic Influenza Vaccine (H5N1)

What is being measured

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

  1. Immunogenicity Endpoint: hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) titer and microneutralization (MN) titer

    The primary immune response endpoint is to evaluate the seroconversion rate (SCR) in terms of HAI assays at Day 43 (21 days after the second dose).The secondary HAI endpoints are defined as following:

    1. SCR for the first vaccination, at Day 22.
    2. Seroprotection rates (SPR) for each vaccination, at Day 22 and 43.
    3. The geometric mean fold rise (GMFR) for each vaccination, at Day 22 and 43.

    The supportive immunogenicity endpoints of MN antibodies are SCRs, SPRs and GMFRs at Day 22 and 43.

    Measured: At Day 43 (21 days after the second dose).

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability profiles including the presence or absence of the pre-specified reactogenicity events and other serious/non-serious adverse events after vaccination.

    Safety data will consist of reactogenicity, serious and non-serious adverse events. Reactogenicity events are pre-specified adverse events systematically recorded for 7 days after each vaccination.The events included fever (≥38.0°C), runny nose or nasal congestion, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, headache, vomiting, nausea and malaise. Furthermore, the local (injection site) reactions were also evaluated, including soreness/pain, swelling, redness, ecchymosis and limitation of arm motion.

    Measured: At 4 weeks after two doses of study vaccine, 4 weeks apart. Reactogenicity will be recorded for 7 days after each vaccination.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Pandemic Influenza Vaccine (H5N1) in people with Pandemic Influenza, run by Adimmune Corporation 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 4 inclusion and 16 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 16 Jul 2018. 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 combined 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.

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

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?

Immunogenicity Endpoint: hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) titer and microneutralization (MN) titer (time frame: At Day 43 (21 days after the second dose).). 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 16 Jul 2018.
