  • Are males or non-pregnant females, 19 to 64 years old, inclusive.
  • Are in good health.
  • -As determined by medical history and physical examination to evaluate acute or currently ongoing chronic medical diagnoses or conditions, defined as those that have been present for at least 90 days, that would affect the assessment of the safety of subjects or the immunogenicity of study vaccinations. Chronic medical diagnoses or conditions should be stable for the last 60 days. This includes no change in chronic prescription medication, dose, or frequency as a result of deterioration of the chronic medical diagnosis or condition in the 60 days prior to enrollment. Any prescription change that is due to change of health care provider, insurance company, etc., or that is done for financial reasons, as long as in the same class of medication, will not be considered a deviation of this inclusion criterion. Any change in prescription medication due to improvement of a disease outcome, as determined by the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator, will not be considered a deviation of this inclusion criterion. Subjects may be on chronic or as needed (prn) medications if, in the opinion of the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator, they pose no additional risk to subject safety or assessment of reactogenicity and immunogenicity and do not indicate a worsening of medical diagnosis or condition. Similarly, medication changes subsequent to enrollment and study vaccination are acceptable provided there was no deterioration in the subject's chronic medical condition that necessitated a medication change, and there is no additional risk to the subject or interference with the evaluation of responses to study vaccination. Note: Topical, nasal, and inhaled medications (with the exception of inhaled corticosteroids as outlined in the Subject Exclusion Criteria (see Section 5.1.2), herbals, vitamins, and supplements are permitted.

The primary objectives are: 1) To assess the safety and reactogenicity of a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H5N8 virus vaccine following receipt of two doses administered intramuscularly at different dosages (3.75 and 15 mcg of HA per dose) given with or without AS03 or MF59 adjuvants approximately 21 days apart. 2) To assess the serum HAI and Neut antibody responses to a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H5N8 virus vaccine following receipt of two doses administered intramuscularly at different dosages (3.75 and 15 mcg of HA per dose) given with or without AS03 or MF59 adjuvants approximately 21 days apart.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I cohort-randomized, double-blind, controlled trial designed to assess the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H5N8 virus vaccine manufactured by bioCSL administered at different dosages (3.75 and 15 mcg of HA per dose) given with or without AS03 or MF59 adjuvants manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals (GSK) and Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics (NVD), respectively. This study will be conducted at 6 VTEU sites and enroll 150 (up to 380) males and non-pregnant females, 19 to 64 years old, inclusive who are in good health and meet all eligibility criteria. The entire study duration is approximately 24 months and subject participation duration is approximately 13 months. Subjects will be enrolled in one of two cohorts, and within each cohort subjects will be randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio. Subjects in Cohort 1 will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment arms to receive two doses of the A/H5N8 vaccine at varying antigen dosages (3.75 or 15 mcg HA) with AS03 (30-76 subjects per treatment arm), or to a comparator arm receiving two doses of the A/H5N8 vaccine (15 mcg HA) without adjuvant (15-38 subjects). Subjects in Cohort 2 will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment arms to receive two doses of the A/H5N8 vaccine at varying antigen dosages (3.75 or 15 mcg HA) with MF59 (30-76 subjects per treatment arm), or to a comparator arm receiving two doses of the A/H5N8 vaccine (15 mcg HA) without adjuvant (15-38 subjects). All subjects will receive the same dosage of vaccine with or without the same adjuvant at both of their first and second study vaccinations, with the exception that subjects in Cohort 1 who do not receive Vaccination 2 prior to February 28, 2017 will receive a second unadjuvanted vaccination with the same antigen dosage as their randomized assignment. All doses will be administered intramuscularly approximately 21 days apart. Primary objectives are: 1) To assess the safety and reactogenicity of a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H5N8 virus vaccine following receipt of two doses administered intramuscularly at different dosages (3.75 and 15 mcg of HA per dose) given with or without AS03 or MF59 adjuvants approximately 21 days apart. 2) To assess the serum HAI and Neut antibody responses to a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H5N8 virus vaccine following receipt of two doses administered intramuscularly at different dosages (3.75 and 15 mcg of HA per dose) given with or without AS03 or MF59 adjuvants approximately 21 days apart. Secondary objectives are: 1) To assess study unsolicited non-serious AEs following receipt of two doses of a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H5N8 virus vaccine administered intramuscularly at different dosages (3.75 and 15 mcg of HA per dose) given with or without AS03 or MF59 adjuvants approximately 21 days apart. 2) To assess medically-attended adverse events (MAAEs), including new-onset chronic medical conditions (NOCMCs), potentially immune-mediated medical conditions (PIMMCs), and all serious adverse events (SAEs) following receipt of two doses of a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H5N8 virus vaccine administered intramuscularly at different dosages (3.75 and 15 mcg of HA per dose) given with or without AS03 or MF59 adjuvants approximately 21 days apart. 3) To assess the serum HAI and Neut antibody responses to a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H5N8 virus vaccine following receipt of one dose administered intramuscularly at different dosages (3.75 and 15 mcg of HA per dose) given with or without AS03 or MF59 adjuvants.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AS03, MF59 and Monovalent Influenza A/H5N8 vaccine in people with Avian Influenza, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 7 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 20 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 23 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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 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?

Geometric Mean Titers of Neut antibodies against the A/H5N8 antigen contained in the study vaccine (time frame: Day 43). The study lists 11 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 23 Sep 2024.
