About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Open-Label, Single-Arm, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Surface Antigen, Inactivated, Egg-Derived, Trivalent Influenza (Agrippal®) Virus Vaccine, Southern Hemisphere Formulation 2015, in Healthy Adults.

The present study is designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of trivalent, surface antigen, inactivated influenza vaccine in 2 age cohorts: 18 to ≤60 years and ≥61 years.

For the immunogenicity endpoint the antibody response to each influenza vaccine antigen will be evaluated by means of Single Radial Hemolysis (SRH) or Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) at approximately 21 days post vaccination.

The vaccine composition will be based on the WHO recommended influenza strains for the 2015 Southern Hemisphere vaccine, and the data from this study are intended to support the use of this vaccine in future influenza seasons if the recommended vaccine composition remains the same.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentages of Subjects With Single Radial Hemolysis (SRH) Areas ≥25mm^2, Against Each of Three Vaccine Strains After Receiving One Dose of TIV.

    Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of percentages of subjects in both age groups with SRH areas ≥25mm^2 against each of the three vaccine strains, three weeks after receiving one dose of TIV.

    The related European Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) criterion for the assessment of immunogenicity is met if the percentage of subjects achieving post vaccination SRH areas ≥ 25mm^2 is >70% for adults aged 18 to ≤60 years and >60% for subjects aged ≥61 years.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 22 post vaccination

  2. Percentages of Subjects With Seroconversion or Significant Increase in SRH Area, Against Each of Three Vaccine Strains After Receiving One Dose of TIV.

    Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of percentages of subjects in both age groups achieving seroconversion or significant increase by SRH area against each of the three vaccine strains, three weeks after receiving one dose of TIV.

    Seroconversion is defined as percentage of subjects with a pre vaccination SRH area ≤ 4mm^2 achieving a post vaccination SRH area ≥ 25mm^2. Significant increase is defined as percentage of subjects with a pre-vaccination SRH area > 4mm^2 achieving at least 50% increase in post vaccination SRH area.

    The related European (CHMP) criterion for the assessment of immunogenicity is met if >40% for adults aged 18 to ≤60 years and >30% for subjects aged ≥61 years achieve seroconversion or significant increase in post-vaccination SRH areas.

    Measured: Day 22 post vaccination

  3. Geometric Mean Ratio (GMR) of Post Vaccination Versus Pre Vaccination Geometric Mean Area (GMAs), After One Dose of TIV.

    The antibody responses were evaluated in terms of GMRs of post vaccination GMAs to pre vaccination GMAs against each of the three vaccine strains, three weeks after receiving one dose of TIV.

    The related European (CHMP) criterion for the assessment of immunogenicity is met if the GMR day 22/day 1 is >2.5 for adults aged 18 to ≤60 years and > 2.0 in for subjects aged ≥61 years.

    Measured: Day 22/ Day1 post vaccination

  4. Percentages of Subjects With Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Titers ≥40, Against Each of Three Vaccine Strains After Receiving One Dose of TIV.

    Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of percentages of subjects in both age groups with HI titers ≥40, against each of the three vaccine strains, three weeks after receiving one dose of TIV.

    The related European (CHMP) criterion for the assessment of immunogenicity is met if the percentage of subjects achieving HI titers ≥ 40 is >70% for adults aged 18 to ≤60 years and >60% for subjects aged ≥61 years.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 22 post vaccination

  5. Percentages of Subjects With Seroconversion or Significant Increase in HI Antibody Titers After Receiving One Dose of TIV.

    Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of percentages of subjects in both age groups achieving seroconversion or significant increase in HI antibody titers after receiving one dose of TIV.

    Seroconversion is defined as percentage of subjects with a pre vaccination HI titer <10 and a post vaccination titer ≥40. Significant increase is defined as percentage of subjects with a pre vaccination HI titer ≥10 and at least a 4-fold increase in post vaccination HI antibody titers.

    The related European (CHMP) criterion for the assessment of immunogenicity is met if >40% for adults aged 18 to ≤60 years and >30% for subjects aged ≥61 years achieve seroconversion or significant increase in post-vaccination HI titers.

    Measured: Day 22 post vaccination

  6. GMR of Post Vaccination Versus Pre Vaccination HI Antibody Titers, After Receiving One Dose of TIV.

    The antibody responses following one vaccination of TIV were evaluated in terms of GMRs of post vaccination against pre vaccination geometric mean HI titers against each of the three vaccine strains, three weeks after receiving one dose of TIV.

    The related European (CHMP) criterion for the assessment of immunogenicity is met if the GMR day 22/day 1 is >2.5 for adults aged 18 to ≤60 years and > 2.0 for subjects aged ≥61 years.

    Measured: Day 22/Day 1 post vaccination

  7. Number of Subjects Reporting Local and Systemic Solicited Adverse Events (AEs) After Receiving One Dose of TIV.

    The number of adult and elderly subjects reporting solicited local and systemic AEs and other solicited AEs after receiving one dose of TIV are reported.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 4 post vaccination (including 30 mins)

  8. Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited AEs After Receiving One Dose of TIV.

    The number of subjects in both age groups reporting any unsolicited AEs between Day 1 to Day 4 after receiving one dose of TIV.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 4 post vaccination

  9. Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited AEs After Receiving One Vaccination of TIV.

    The number of subjects in both age groups reporting any unsolicited AEs (between Day 1 to 4), serious adverse events (SAEs), medically attended AEs, AEs leading to premature withdrawal (Day 1 to Day 22), after receiving one vaccination of TIV is reported.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 22 post vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Aggripal® in people with Human Influenza, run by Novartis at 1 site in Brazil.

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 31 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 1 site in Brazil. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Percentages of Subjects With Single Radial Hemolysis (SRH) Areas ≥25mm^2, Against Each of Three Vaccine Strains After Receiving One Dose of TIV. (time frame: Day 1 and Day 22 post vaccination). The study lists 9 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 19 Oct 2015.
