About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial on the Clinical Efficacy and Safety of a Single Dose of Trivalent Seasonal Live-Attenuated Influenza Vaccine(LAIV) Among Children Aged 24 Through 59 Months in Bangladesh

This is a single center, multi-site, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled trial of the clinical efficacy of trivalent Serum Institute of India, Ltd. (SIIL)live-attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) vaccine among children aged 24 through 59 months in Bangladesh.

Background:

Read more
  1. Burden: Within Bangladesh, community- based influenza surveillance identified 84.5 cases/1000 children-years among children <5 years, while 10% of clinical pneumonia cases were influenza positive in this age group.
  2. Knowledge gap: There has never been a randomized clinical efficacy trial of the SIIL LAIV vaccine conducted among children in a low-income country.
  3. Relevance: Another LAIV vaccine (made by MedImmune) has been shown to have high efficacy against laboratory-confirmed influenza among children. The SIIL LAIV has the potential to be an inexpensive intervention to prevent pediatric influenza disease.

Primary Hypothesis: In children aged 24 through 59 months in Bangladesh, LAIV is efficacious in reducing rates of symptomatic, laboratory-confirmed influenza (vaccine-matched strains) among children vaccinated with LAIV as compared to children vaccinated with a placebo through the first influenza season following vaccination.

Primary Objective: To determine the efficacy of LAIV in reducing rates of symptomatic, laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infection (vaccine-matched strains) among children receiving LAIV as compared to children receiving a placebo through the first influenza season following vaccination (through December 2013).

Methods: A total of 1761 children will be enrolled and randomized in a 2:1 ratio of LAIV to placebo beginning in March 2013. After vaccination, all children will be evaluated for reactions with one home visit four days post vaccination. Subsequently, all children will be monitored weekly for safety outcomes and illness signs at weekly field worker home visits through December 2013. An extended surveillance period was added to this study and, for participants consenting to additional follow-up, surveillance will extend through a second season (through September 2014). Participants with illness signs will be referred to the study clinic for evaluation using standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment by a study physician. Children meeting protocol-defined clinical Specimen Collection Criteria will have a nasopharyngeal wash specimen collected. Clinical specimens will be tested by Real time polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) for evidence of influenza virus infection.

Primary Outcome measures/variables: Vaccine efficacy will be assessed against symptomatic, laboratory-confirmed influenza for all circulating virus strains.

What participants receive

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

  • SIIL Live Attenuated Influenza VaccineBiological

    A single dose of SIIL Trivalent LAIV--2012/2013 Northern Hemisphere vaccine containing A/California/7/2009 (H1N1), A/Victoria/361/2011 (H3N2), B/Wisconsin/1/2010

  • PlaceboBiological

    A single dose of inactive placebo will be identical to reconstituted SIIL LAIV in ingredients and concentrations except A/California/7/2009 (H1N1), A/Victoria/361/2011 (H3N2), B/Wisconsin/1/2010 will be replaced with egg allantoic fluid.

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 13 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 11 Jun 2015. 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 Bangladesh. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 15 May 2015). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Symptomatic, Laboratory-confirmed Influenza Virus Infection (Vaccine-matched Strains). (time frame: Through 7 to 9 months post-vaccination). 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 NCT01797029, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 11 Jun 2015.
