About this study

Official title: A Randomized Pilot Study Comparing High-Dose Influenza Vaccine to Standard-Dose Influenza Vaccine in Adult Oncology Patients Less Than 65 Years Receiving Chemotherapy

The safety and immunogenicity of high dose influenza vaccine has not been studied in young patients receiving chemotherapy. This study will evaluate and compare the immunogenicity and safety of high dose influenza to standard dose influenza vaccine in adult oncology patients who are younger than 65 years old receiving chemotherapy.

Being tested
Standard Trivalent Influenza Vaccine, High-Dose Influenza Vaccine

What participants receive

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

  • Standard Trivalent Influenza VaccineBiological

    Also called Fluzone

    Each 0.5 mL dose contains influenza split virus antigens formulated to contain a total of 45 mcg of influenza virus hemagglutinin, 15 mcg each from the 3 influenza virus strains in the vaccine.One dose given per patient.

  • High-Dose Influenza VaccineBiological

    Also called Fluzone High-Dose

    Each 0.5 mL dose of Fluzone High-Dose contains influenza split virus antigens that are formulated to contain a total of 180 mcg of influenza virus hemagglutinin, 60 mcg each from the 3 influenza virus strains in the vaccine. One dose given per patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of High-dose Influenza Vaccine vs the Standard Trivalent Influenza Vaccine in Adult Subjects on Chemotherapy Who Are Less Than 65 Years Old.

    Measure Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) immunogenicity of high-dose (HD) and standard dose (SD) vaccine before and after vaccination at day 28.

    Measured: Baseline and 28 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The Seroprotection Rate of High-dose Influenza Vaccine vs Standard Trivalent Influenza Vaccine in Adult Subjects on Chemotherapy Less Than 65 Years Old.

    Seroprotection rate was defined as the percentage of patients with a HAI GMT of at least 1:40 28 days after vaccination.

    Measured: 28 days

  2. The Seroconversion Rate of High-dose Influenza Vaccine Versus Standard Trivalent Influenza Vaccine in Adult Subjects on Chemotherapy Less Than 65 Years Old.

    Seroconversion rate was defined as the percentage of patients with a greater than or equal to 4-fold increase in HAI titer 28 days after vaccination.

    Measured: Baseline and 28 days

  3. Evaluate and Compare the Local Solicited Adverse Events to Both Vaccines.

    Local solicited adverse events, standard-dose (SD) vaccine and high-dose (HD) vaccine

    Measured: 7 days

  4. Evaluate and Compare the Systemic Solicited Adverse Events to Both Vaccines.

    Systemic solicited adverse events, standard-dose (SD) vaccine and high-dose (HD) vaccine

    Measured: 7 days

  5. Evaluate and Compare the Local and Systemic Unsolicited Adverse Events to Both Vaccines.

    Unsolicited adverse events occurring in more than one patient, standard-dose (SD) vaccine and high-dose (HD) vaccine

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Standard Trivalent Influenza Vaccine and High-Dose Influenza Vaccine in people with Cancer and Influenza Viral Infections, run by Saad Jamshed MD at 2 sites in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 7 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 24 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 May 2016). 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?

The Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of High-dose Influenza Vaccine vs the Standard Trivalent Influenza Vaccine in Adult Subjects on Chemotherapy Who Are Less Than 65 Years Old. (time frame: Baseline and 28 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01666782, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 Jun 2016.
