About this study

Official title: Effect of Influenza Vaccination Timing on Immune Response in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease on Infliximab Therapy: A Randomized Equivalence Trial

The investigators will compare the immunogenicity of influenza vaccine in adults and children with inflammatory bowel disease by timing of vaccine in relation to maintenance infliximab dosing. The primary objective is to compare the proportion of IBD patients on maintenance infliximab who mount serologic protection to each component of the influenza vaccination between patients vaccinated on day of infliximab infusion (Day 0 to 4) and patients vaccinated at the mid-point between infliximab infusions (Day 21 to 28). Serologic protection will be defined by a hemagglutination-inhibition titer ≥ 1:40. The secondary objective is to compare the proportion of IBD patients who mount an immunogenic response (≥ 4-fold increase from pre to post-vaccination titer) to each component of the influenza vaccination between patients vaccinated on day of infliximab infusion and those vaccinated at the mid-point.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serologic protection

    To compare the proportion of IBD patients on maintenance infliximab who mount serologic protection to each component of the influenza vaccination between patients vaccinated on day of infliximab infusion (Day 0 to 4) and patients vaccinated at the mid-point between infliximab infusions (Day 21 to 28). Serologic protection will be defined by a hemagglutination-inhibition titer ≥ 1:40.

    Measured: 28 days ± 3 days after influenza vaccination

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Immunogenic response

    To compare the proportion of IBD patients on maintenance infliximab who mount an immunogenic response to each component of the influenza vaccination between patients vaccinated on day of infliximab infusion (Day 0 to 4) and patients vaccinated at the mid-point between infliximab infusions (Day 21 to 28). Immunogenicity will be defined as a fourfold or greater differences in titer between pre and post-vaccination sera.

    Measured: 28 days ± 3 days after influenza vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Influenza vaccination in people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, run by University of Calgary at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 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 9 May 2016. 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 Canada. 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.

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?

Serologic protection (time frame: 28 days ± 3 days after influenza vaccination). 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 9 May 2016.
