What participants receive

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

  • Inflexal VBiological

    Also called Inflexal V influenza vaccine (surface antigen, inactivated, virosome) formulated for the WHO requirements of the 2013-2014 season, each 0.5 mL dose containing:, • 15 µg HA antigen of A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)-like virus, • 15 µg HA antigen of A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2)-like virus, • 15 µg HA antigen of B/Massachusetts/2/2012-like virus

    Intramuscular administration (M. deltoideus) of a single dose of 0.5 mL Inflexal V

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of subjects with seroconversion, seroprotection, and fold increase in geometric mean titer (GMT)

    Immunogenicity variables are analyzed according to the EMA re-licensing criteria; at least one of the criteria has to be fulfilled for each vaccine strain:

    • Seroconversion rate at Day 22 has to be >40% of subjects aged ≥18 to ≤60 years and >30% of subjects aged >60 years, or
    • Seroprotection rate at Day 22 has to be >70% of subjects aged ≥18 to ≤60 years and >60% of subjects aged >60 years, or
    • GMT-fold increase at Day 22 compared to baseline: a >2.5-fold increase has to be reached in subjects aged ≥18 to ≤60 years and a >2.0-fold increase has to be reached in subjects aged >60 years

    Measured: Day 22 +/- 2 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence of solicited local adverse events

    Measured: Days 1 to 4 inclusive

  2. Incidence of solicited systemic adverse events

    Measured: Days 1 to 4 inclusive

  3. Incidence of unsolicited adverse events

    Measured: Days 1 to 22 inclusive

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Inflexal V in people with Influenza, run by Crucell Holland BV at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 15 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 30 Aug 2013. 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 Switzerland. 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?

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?

Percentage of subjects with seroconversion, seroprotection, and fold increase in geometric mean titer (GMT) (time frame: Day 22 +/- 2 days). 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 30 Aug 2013.
