About this study

Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity Among Healthy Children Receiving Fluzone® Quadrivalent, Influenza Vaccine (2014-2015 Formulation)

The study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the 2014-2015 formulation of Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine, administered in a 1- or 2-dose schedule, in accordance with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations, in children 6 months to < 9 years of age.

Objective:

Read more
  • To describe the safety of the 2014-2015 formulation of Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine, administered in a 1- or 2-dose schedule, in accordance with ACIP recommendations, in children 6 months to < 9 years of age.

Observational objectives:

  • To describe the immunogenicity of the 2014-2015 formulation of Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine, administered in a 1- or 2-dose schedule in accordance with ACIP recommendations, in children 6 months to < 9 years of age.
  • To submit available sera from each subject to Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) for further analysis by the WHO, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to support formulation recommendations for subsequent influenza vaccines.
Read the detailed description

Participants will be assigned to the appropriate age group based on the age at the time of enrollment. Participants will receive a dose of Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine, those for whom 2 doses of influenza vaccine are recommended per ACIP guidance, will receive a second dose during Visit 2 (28 days after Visit 1).

Solicited adverse event (AE) information will be collected for 7 days after each vaccination, unsolicited AE information will be collected from Visit 1 to Visit 2, or to Visit 3 for those subjects receiving 2 doses. Serious adverse event (SAE) information will be collected the study. Immunogenicity will be evaluated in all participants prior to vaccination and at Day 28 after the final vaccination.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Reporting Solicited Injection-site or Systemic Reactions Following Vaccination With the 2014-2015 Formulation of Fluzone® Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine

    Solicited Injection-site: 6 to < 36 months - Tenderness, Erythema, and Swelling; 3 to < 9 years - Pain, Erythema, and Swelling. Solicited systemic reactions: 6 to < 36 months - Fever (Temperature), Vomiting, Crying abnormal, Drowsiness, Appetite lost, and Irritability; 3 to < 9 years - Fever, Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia.

    Grade 3: Fever, > 39.5˚C (6 to < 36 months), ≥ 39.0˚C (3 to < 9 years); Vomiting, ≥ 6 episodes/24 hours or requires parenteral hydration; Crying abnormal, > 3 hours; Drowsiness, Sleeping often/difficult to wake; Appetite lost, Refuses ≥ 3 or most meals; Irritability, Inconsolable; Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia, Significant, prevents daily activity.

    Measured: Day 0 up to Day 7 post-any injection

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Influenza Antibodies Before and Post Vaccination With the 2014-2015 Formulation of Fluzone® Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine

    Geometric titers of influenza antibodies were assessed using the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay.

    Measured: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 28 post-final vaccination

  2. Number of Participants With Seroprotection Before and Following Vaccination With the 2014-2015 Formulation of Fluzone® Quadrivalent Vaccine

    Influenza antibodies were assessed using the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay. Seroprotection was defined as a titer ≥ 40 (l/dil) at pre-vaccination and at 28 days after the final vaccination.

    Measured: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 28 post-final vaccination

  3. Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion Following Vaccination With the 2014-2015 Formulation of Fluzone® Quadrivalent Vaccine

    Influenza antibodies were assessed using the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay. Seroconversion is defined as either a pre-vaccination HAI titer < 1:10 and a post-vaccination titer ≥ 1:40 or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and a ≥ 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer.

    Measured: Day 28 post-final vaccination

  4. Geometric Mean Titer Ratios (GMTRs) of Influenza Antibodies Following Vaccination With the 2014-2015 Formulation of Fluzone® Quadrivalent Vaccine

    Geometric titer ratios of influenza antibodies were assessed using the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay.

    Measured: Day 28 post-final vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Fluzone® Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine, No Preservative in people with Influenza, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company 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 16 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 19 Oct 2015. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 19 Oct 2015). 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?

Percentage of Participants Reporting Solicited Injection-site or Systemic Reactions Following Vaccination With the 2014-2015 Formulation of Fluzone® Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (time frame: Day 0 up to Day 7 post-any injection). 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 19 Oct 2015.
