About this study

Official title: Randomized Trial of High Dose vs. Standard Dose Influenza Vaccine in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract which includes Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). A recent epidemiological investigation estimates that nearly 4 million people worldwide are affected and approximately 1.4 million of these cases occur in the United States. IBD can lead to debilitating symptoms, hospitalizations, decreased quality of life, frequent procedures and/or surgery. Treatment options consist of immunosuppressive therapy, such as systemic corticosteroids, immunomodulators (thiopurines and methotrexate) and/or biologics, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) agents or an integrin inhibitor, vedolizumab. They can achieve clinical remission and decrease the risk of complications, but also increase the risk for opportunistic infections, including influenza.

Multiple studies have shown lower influenza vaccine responses in patients with IBD compared to healthy individuals; IBD patients treated with TNF agents or combination therapy (TNF inhibitors and immunomodulators) are very likely to mount a poor immune response. Influenza serum antibody concentration correlates with protection from infection following vaccination. Therefore, increasing influenza antibody responses in patients with IBD would appear to be critical to improving protection from influenza. A high dose (HD) influenza vaccine containing four times more hemagglutinin was licensed based on its ability to induce higher antibody concentrations compared to standard dose (SD) in adults 65 years or older.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure Antibody Concentrations in Immunosuppressed IBD Patients Who Receive High Dose and Standard of Care Dose Influenza Vaccine

    Influenza vaccine antibody concentration will be measured in immunosuppressed IBD patients who receive high dose and standard of care dose influenza vaccine.

    Higher antibody concentrations are associated with better protection from infection.

    Measured: Pre-immunization and 2-4 weeks post immunization

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Response Rate Against Influenza Vaccine in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Number of Participants Positive for Seroconversion

    Vaccine response rates for influenza vaccines in patients with inflammatory bowel disease will be accessed by number of patients who has shown significant seroconversion. Seroconversion is defined as a four fold increase in antibody concentration from preimmunization to 4 weeks post immunization.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Seroprotection: Number of Participants With Antibody Concentration at Least 1:40 at Week 4 Postimmunization

    Seroprotection is defined as an antibody concentration of at least 1:40 at 4 weeks post-immunization which confers protection from infection in about 50% of individuals

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. Seroprotection: Number of Participants With Antibody Titer of 160 at Week 4 Post-immunization

    Seroprotection is defined by the FDA as post-immunization concentration of 1:160 that confers protection from infection to 95% of the population.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  4. Measure Antibody Concentrations in Immunosuppressed IBD Patients Who Receive High Dose and Standard of Care Dose Influenza Vaccine

    Influenza vaccine antibody concentration will be measured in immunosuppressed IBD patients who receive high dose and standard of care dose influenza vaccine.

    Higher antibody concentrations are associated with better protection from infection.

    Measured: 6 months post-immunization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Standard dose Influenza vaccine (SDIV) and High dose influenza vaccine (HDIV) in people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), run by University of Wisconsin, Madison 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 0 inclusion and 19 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 2 Oct 2019. 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 13 Sep 2019). 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?

Measure Antibody Concentrations in Immunosuppressed IBD Patients Who Receive High Dose and Standard of Care Dose Influenza Vaccine (time frame: Pre-immunization and 2-4 weeks post immunization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02461758, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 Oct 2019.
