About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Trial to Compare Seroprotection Rate According to Timing of Influenza Vaccination in Adult Patients With Non-Hematologic Malignancies Receiving Scheduled Cytotoxic Chemotherapy

The purpose of this study is to determine the timing of influenza vaccination to induce higher antibody response in adult patients with non-hematologic malignancies receiving scheduled cytotoxic chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

The participants will be stratified by the age (cut off; 60 years old) and last year influenza vaccination, and block-randomized to 2 groups; Day 1 vaccination group and Day 11 vaccination group.

Day 1 group will be vaccinated at Day 1, when the cycle of chemotherapy begins. Day 11 group will get the vaccine at Day 11, 10 days after chemotherapy begins.

As the rate of completion of study in the Day 11 group is anticipated lower than Day 1 group, we will assign the participants into Day 1: Day 11 with the different ratio; 4:5.

Hemagglutination inhibition Ab titre at pre-vaccination and post-vaccination (21-28 days after vaccination) will be examined in all participants.

All the participants will be asked if they have any contraindication for influenza vaccine by a physician before vaccination. And they will be monitored for any adverse reaction of the vaccination after 2-4 days(phone calling) and after 21-28 days (visiting the hospital).

What participants receive

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

  • Different timing of influenza vaccinationBiological

    The timing of Influenza vaccination for cancer patients receiving chemotherapy will be differently assigned to day 1 or day 11.

What is being measured

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

  1. Seroprotection rate

    The percentage of vaccine recipients with a serum haemagglutination inhibition(HI) titre ≥40 post vaccination (21-28 days)

    Measured: 21-28 days after vaccination

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Seroconversion factor

    Seroconversion factor is defined as mean fold increases in geometric mean titers of the haemagglutination inhibition(HI) after vaccination, expressed as a multiple.

    Measured: 21-28 days after vaccination

  2. Seroconversion rate

    Seroconversion rate is defined as the percentage of vaccine recipients with a fourfold increase or more in post-vaccination HI titre

    Measured: 21-28 days after vaccination

  3. Geometric mean titre of HI

    Geometric mean titers of HI (haemagglutination inhibition) after vaccination

    Measured: 21-28 days after vaccination

  4. Vaccine-related adverse events

    the proportion of patients with any or serious vaccine-related adverse events

    Measured: within 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Different timing of influenza vaccination in people with Cancer, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 13 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 2016. 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 South Korea. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Insufficient enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Seroprotection rate (time frame: 21-28 days after vaccination). 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 24 Feb 2016.
