Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the serologic and cell-mediated immune response to licensed live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) and inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) in children 5-17 years old.

About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Study of Immune Response to Licensed Influenza Vaccines in Children and Adolescents

The purpose of this study is to assess the serologic and cell-mediated immune response to licensed live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) and inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) in children 5-17 years old. The effects of prior infection and or prior season vaccination will be examined. Children will be followed during the influenza season to identify laboratory-confirmed influenza (i.e. vaccine failure).

Read the detailed description

All children will have baseline blood samples drawn and will then be vaccinated with licensed and approved influenza vaccines. Following the recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, children 5-8 years old will preferentially receive live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV). Children aged 9-17 will be randomized to receive either LAIV or inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV). Children with a medical contraindication to any licensed influenza vaccine will be excluded from the study.

The children will have their blood drawn between 2 and 4 times total over the course of two months in order to test their immune response to the vaccine. Between approximately December and April, study participants will be contacted weekly to monitor for any new respiratory illnesses with cough, and if present, nasal and throat swabs will be collected to test for influenza.

What participants receive

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

  • LAIVBiological

    Also called FluMist

    Licensed and approved Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccination (LAIV) will be preferentially given to all children aged 5-8 years old as recommended by Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. A modified randomization scheme in which every other child aged 9-17 years enrolled in the study will be given LAIV will be used. The rest of the children aged 9-17 years old will receive IIV.

  • IIVBiological

    Also called FluZone

    A modified randomization scheme in which every other child aged 9-17 years enrolled in the study will be given IIV will be used. The rest of the children 9-17 years old will receive LAIV.

    [Note: Although we do not anticipate exhausting the supply of LAIV, should this occur, children aged 5-8 will be offered IIV as it is also approved in this age group and should be used if LAIV is unavailable.]

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
LAIV 2014-15OtherWill receive LAIV this year. Includes 5-8 year olds and approximately half of the 9-17 year olds. Prior history includes vaccine failures, vaccinated/uninfected and unvaccinated/uninfected last year. PBMC available for those who were infected last year, all ages.
Receives: Biological: LAIV
IIV 2014-15OtherWill receive IIV this year. Includes only 9-17 year olds (unless shortages of LAIV encountered). Prior history includes vaccine failures, vaccinated/uninfected and unvaccinated/uninfected last year. PBMC available for those who were infected last year, only 9-17 year olds.
Receives: Biological: IIV

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Titer Response to Vaccine and Circulating Strains of Influenza

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 28 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Confirmed Influenza Illness

    Measured: Onset >13 days after vaccination and before April 1, 2015

  2. Antibody Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity (ADCC) Titers

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 28 days

  3. Ratio Between Immunoglobulin A (IgA):Immunoglobulin G (IgG)

    Measured: Day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing LAIV and IIV in people with Immune Response to Influenza Vaccine and Influenza A Virus Infection, run by Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation 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 3 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 26 Apr 2018. 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 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 26 Feb 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?

Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Titer Response to Vaccine and Circulating Strains of Influenza (time frame: Change from Baseline to 28 days). 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 26 Apr 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
