About this study

Official title: A Pilot Single Arm Study of High-Dose Influenza Vaccine Immunogenicity in Patients With Central Nervous System Tumors

This pilot clinical trial studies high-dose trivalent influenza vaccine in inducing immune response patients with central nervous system tumors. Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients receiving trivalent influenza vaccine may help doctors learn more about the effects of trivalent influenza vaccine on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To estimate the immunogenicity of high-dose influenza vaccination in patients with central nervous system tumors.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the geometric mean titer (GMT) in patients after administration of high-dose influenza vaccination compared to previously determined geometric mean titer (GMT) among 38 patients receiving the standard yearly influenza vaccination.

II. To assess the seroconversion rates (i.e. four-fold rise in titer) compared to previously determined seroconversion following administration of the standard yearly influenza vaccination.

III. To assess the seroprotection rates (i.e. post-vaccination titer >= 1:40) compared to previously determined seroconversion and seroprotection following administration of the standard yearly influenza vaccination.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the relationship between serologic markers of immune function and response to high-dose vaccination.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive trivalent influenza vaccine on day 1.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 28 days and/or 3 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Estimation of geometric mean titer (GMT) seroconversion, defined as the percentage of patients with at least a four-fold increase in hemagglutinin inhibition (HI) antibodies

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Estimation of GMT seroconversion, defined as the percentage of patients with at least a four-fold increase in HI antibodies

    Measured: Day 28

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. GMT

    Continuous values will be analyzed using Wilcoxon rank sum tests to compare high dose influenza vaccine to previously reported data on immunogenicity to the standard trivalent inactivated vaccine.

    Measured: Up to 3 months

  2. Seroconversion

    Categorical variables will be analyzed using chi-square or Fisher exact tests when necessary or appropriate.

    Measured: Up to 3 months

  3. Seroprotection rate, defined as the percentage of patients with a serum HI antibody of at least 1:40

    Categorical variables will be analyzed using chi-square or Fisher exact tests when necessary or appropriate.

    Measured: Up to 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing trivalent influenza vaccine and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Central Nervous System Neoplasm, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences at 2 sites 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 5 Jul 2018. 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 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 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?

Estimation of geometric mean titer (GMT) seroconversion, defined as the percentage of patients with at least a four-fold increase in hemagglutinin inhibition (HI) antibodies (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 2 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 5 Jul 2018.
