About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study to Determine the Safety and Immunogenicity of Vaccination Regimens Employing the Candidate Influenza Vaccines MVA-NP+M1 and ChAdOx1 NP+M1

This will be a randomised observational phase 1 study in 48 healthy volunteers aged 18-50. The study is assessing safety and immunogenicity of viral vectored vaccines ChAdOx1 NP+M1 and MVA NP+M1 in heterologous prime-boost regimens. A crossover design will allow comparison of the two vaccines. Volunteers will be divided into 4 groups (n=12 in each group). Groups will be recruited simultaneously to control for seasonal changes in influenza. This is because at certain times of year there is likely to be a higher naturally acquired T cell response to influenza than at other times due to circulating influenza virus in the community.

The study has been extended to include 2 additional groups (group 5 \& 6), each containing 12 healthy adults aged 50 years or above. Group 5 will receive ChAdOx 1 NP+M1 on day 0, and group 6 will receive this with an additional boost of MVA-NP+M1 8 weeks later.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the safety of prime/boost vaccination regimens employing MVA-NP+M1 and ChAdOx1 NP+M1.

    Safety will be assessed by the nature, frequency, severity, seriousness and duration of adverse events arising during the study combined with analysis of hematology and biochemistry lab tests for abnormalities.

    Measured: Up to 78 weeks post first vaccination.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To assess the cellular immune response generated by prime/boost vaccination regimens employing MVA-NP+M1 and ChAdOx1 NP+M1.

    The secondary outcomes of peak immune response after first vaccination and peak immune response after second vaccination will be analysed by calculating the area under the curve of the immune response (IFN-γ SFC/ million PBMCs) for each volunteer from baseline to week 78. The mean area under the curve in the 4 groups will then be compared using an analysis of variance, or in the case of skewed data a Kruskal Wallis test. Further pairwise comparisons will be made if a significant difference is found between groups.

    Measured: 78 weeks after first vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MVA NP+M1 and ChAdOx1 NP+M1 in people with Seasonal Influenza, run by University of Oxford at 3 sites in United Kingdom.

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 14 inclusion and 31 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 15 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United Kingdom. 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?

To assess the safety of prime/boost vaccination regimens employing MVA-NP+M1 and ChAdOx1 NP+M1. (time frame: Up to 78 weeks post first 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 15 Dec 2015.
