About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study In Healthy Adults To Assess The Safety And Immunogenicity Of Priming With Live Attenuated A/H7N9 Influenza Virus Vaccine Followed By Inactivated A/H7N9 Influenza Virus Vaccine With AS03 Adjuvant

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of one dose of H7N9 pandemic live attenuated influenza vaccine (H7N9 pLAIV) followed by AS03-adjuvanted H7N9 pandemic inactivated influenza vaccine (H7N9 pIIV).

Read the detailed description

This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of one dose of H7N9 pandemic live attenuated influenza vaccine (H7N9 pLAIV) followed by AS03-adjuvanted H7N9 pandemic inactivated influenza vaccine (H7N9 pIIV).

This study will enroll healthy adults who will choose which study group to join. Participants in Group 1 will receive one dose of H7N9 pLAIV in an inpatient setting at study entry (Day 0). They will remain in an isolation unit through at least Day 9. They will also receive one dose of AS03-adjuvanted H7N9 pIIV on Day 84.

Participants in Group 2 will receive one dose of AS03-adjuvanted H7N9 pIIV at study entry (Day 0) and a second dose of AS03-adjuvanted H7N9 pIIV at Day 84. Participants in Group 3 will receive one dose of AS03-adjuvanted H7N9 pIIV at study entry (Day 0).

All participants will attend multiple study visits through Day 264. Study visits may include blood collection, physical examinations, and nasal wash and nasal wick procedures.

These three groups will be compared to two historical control groups who received one dose of H7N9 pLAIV at study entry (Day 0), one dose of H7N9 pLAIV at Day 28, and one dose of unadjuvanted H7N9 pIIV at Day 84.

Being tested
H7N9 pLAIV, H7N9 pIIV, AS03 adjuvant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing H7N9 pLAIV, H7N9 pIIV and AS03 adjuvant in people with Influenza A Virus, H7N9 Subtype, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) 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 12 inclusion and 33 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 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Rates of local and systemic reactogenicity events (time frame: Measured through Day 264). The study lists 4 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 2 Oct 2018.
