About this study

Official title: Immunogenicity and Safety of a Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine Administered Via the Intramuscular Route in Children and Adolescents in Taiwan

The aim of the study is to describe the immunogenicity and safety of the new formulation of Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (QIV) for the 2013-2014 season in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) in subjects aged 9 to 17 years in Taiwan

Primary Objective:

  • To describe the immunogenicity of the QIV (split-virion, inactivated) NH seasonal formulation

Secondary Objective:

  • To describe the safety of the QIV (split-virion, inactivated) NH seasonal formulation
Read the detailed description

Study participants will be vaccinated with one dose of the QIV (split-virion, inactivated) NH 2013-2014 formulation by the intramuscular route or deep subcutaneous. Immunogenicity will be assessed at baseline (Day 0) and 21 days after injection; they will also be followed-up for safety for 21 days after injection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Geometric Mean Titers of Influenza Antibodies Before and Following Vaccination With a Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine

    Immunogenicity of the Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine virus was evaluated using the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) technique.

    Measured: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 21 post-vaccination

  2. Percentage of Participants With Seroprotection Before and Following Vaccination With a Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine

    Immunogenicity of the Quadrivalent Influenza vaccine virus was evaluated using the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) technique. Seroprotection was defined as titers ≥ 40 (1/dil) on Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and on Day 21 post-vaccination.

    Measured: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 21 post-vaccination

  3. Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion or Significant Increase in Influenza Antibody Titers Following Vaccination With a Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine

    Immunogenicity of the Quadrivalent Influenza vaccine virus was evaluated using the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) technique. Seroconversion was defined as participants with a pre-vaccination titer <10 (1/dil) to a post-vaccination titer ≥40 (1/dil) or significant increase was defined as participants with a pre-vaccination titer ≥10 (1/dil) and ≥4-fold increase of the titer.

    Measured: Day 21 post-vaccination

  4. Geometric Mean Titers Ratios of Influenza Antibodies Following Vaccination With a Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine

    Immunogenicity of the Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine virus was evaluated using the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) technique.

    Measured: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 21 post-vaccination

  5. Percentage of Participants Reporting Solicited Injection Site or Systemic Reactions Following Vaccination With a Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine

    Solicited Injection site: Pain, Erythema, Swelling, Induration, and Ecchymosis. Solicited systemic reactions: Fever, Headache, Malaise, Myalgia, and Shivering. Injection site Grade 3 (9 to 11 years): Pain, Incapacitating, unable to perform usual activities; Erythema, Swelling, Induration, and Ecchymosis, ≥ 50 mm. Injection site Grade 3 (12 to 17 years): Pain, Significant; prevents daily activity; Erythema, Swelling, Induration, and Ecchymosis, > 100 mm. Systemic Grade 3 (9 to 17 years): Fever, ≥ 39.0°C; Headache, Malaise, Myalgia, and Shivering, Significant, prevents daily activity.

    Measured: Day 0 up to Day 7 post-vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (split virion, inactivated) in people with Influenza, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 2 sites in Taiwan.

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 20 Jan 2016. 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 Taiwan. 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 20 Jan 2016). 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?

Geometric Mean Titers of Influenza Antibodies Before and Following Vaccination With a Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 21 post-vaccination). The study lists 5 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 20 Jan 2016.
