What is being measured

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

  1. Humoral Immune Response in Terms of Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titers Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains

    Antibody titers were expressed as Geometric mean titers (GMTs). The vaccine strains assessed were Flu A/California/7/2009 (H1N1), Flu A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2) and Flu B/Massachusetts/2/2012 (Yamagata).

    Measured: At Days 0 and 21

  2. Number of Seroconverted Subjects for HI Antibodies Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains.

    A seroconverted subject was defined as a vaccinated subject with either a pre-vaccination titer less than (<) 1:10 and a post-vaccination titer greater than or equal to (≥) 1:40, or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and at least a 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer. The vaccine strains assessed were Flu A/California/7/2009 (H1N1), Flu A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2) and Flu B/Massachusetts/2/2012 (Yamagata).

    Measured: At Day 21

  3. Mean Geometric Increase (MGI) for Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titer Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains.

    MGI was defined as the fold increase in serum HI GMTs post-vaccination compared to pre-vaccination (Day 0). The vaccine strains assessed were Flu A/California/7/2009 (H1N1), Flu A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2) and Flu B/Massachusetts/2/2012 (Yamagata).

    Measured: At Day 21

  4. Number of Subjects Who Were Seroprotected for HI Antibodies Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains.

    A seroprotected subject was defined as a vaccinated subject with a serum HI titer greater than or equal to (≥) 1:40 that usually is accepted as indicating protection in adults. The vaccine strains assessed were Flu A/California/7/2009 (H1N1), Flu A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2) and Flu B/Massachusetts/2/2012 (Yamagata).

    Measured: At Days 0 and Day 21

Secondary outcomes (8)

    Measured: At Day 0 and Day 21

  5. Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms.

    Solicited local symptoms assessed were ecchymosis, induration, pain, redness and swelling. Any was defined as any solicited local symptom reported irrespective of intensity. Grade 3 pain was defined as pain that prevented normal everyday activities. Grade 3 ecchymosis, induration, redness and swelling was greater than 100 millimeters (mm) i.e. >100mm.

    Measured: During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period

  6. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms.

    Solicited general symptoms assessed were arthralgia, fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms, headache, myalgia, shivering, increased sweating and fever [oral temperature above 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)]. Gastrointestinal symptoms included nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and/or abdominal pain. Any = any solicited general symptom reported irrespective of intensity and relationship to vaccination. Related = symptoms considered by the investigator to have a causal relationship to vaccination. Grade 3 symptoms = symptoms that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = oral temperature above 39.0°C

    Measured: During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period

  7. Number of Subjects Reporting Any Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    Unsolicited AE covers any AE reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as occurrence of any unsolicited symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.

    Measured: During the 21-day (Days 0-20) post-vaccination period

    A serious adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence that: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in disability/incapacity or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.

    Measured: During the entire study period (Days 0-20 post vaccination)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Fluviral™ in people with Influenza, run by GlaxoSmithKline 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 10 inclusion and 28 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 7 Sep 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 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.

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 16 Jan 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?

Humoral Immune Response in Terms of Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titers Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains (time frame: At Days 0 and 21). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Sep 2018.
