About this study

Official title: Systems Biology of Influenza A (H5N1) Virus Monovalent Vaccine With and Without AS03 Adjuvant (HIPC: VAX-010)

This study will compare the different immune responses to Influenza A (H5N1) Virus Monovalent Vaccine with and without the AS03 adjuvant. The Influenza A (H5N1) Virus Monovalent Vaccine with AS03 adjuvant vaccine is approved for use for adults to protect against flu caused by the A/H5N1 "bird flu" virus in Europe but none of the vaccines to be used in the study are approved for use in the United States. The results of this study will help researchers learn about better ways to vaccinate people against the H5N1 flu.

Read the detailed description

The influenza virus (a germ) causes influenza or "flu." The flu is an infection of the breathing tubes and the lungs. In recent years, flu viruses that at first only infected birds have begun to infect humans. One of these strains is called avian influenza (A/H5N1 subtype) or "bird flu". Although no human cases of bird flu have been diagnosed in the United States, this strain has caused severe illness and death in several hundred people since late 2003. .

Vaccination is the most effective way of controlling flu and preventing its illness and complications. Vaccines help prevent illness by causing the body to make antibodies that fight infection. One way to improve the effectiveness of a vaccine is to include a substance that can stimulate the immune system to make more antibodies. This type of substance is called an adjuvant; one type of adjuvant is called AS03 (Adjuvant System 03).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing H5N1 vaccine plus AS03 adjuvant and H5N1 vaccine without adjuvant in people with Influenza A Virus, H5N1 Subtype, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 22 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 12 Feb 2019. 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 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 12 Feb 2019). 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?

Change in Traditional Immune Parameters Measurements Using Luminex Assays and Gene Expression Measurement Using Microarray Experiments From Baseline With Influenza A Vaccine With and Without AS03 Adjuvant (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01910519, 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 12 Feb 2019.
