Show all 27Show fewer
  • Known or suspected impairment of immunologic function, including, but not limited to, clinically significant liver disease, diabetes mellitus treated with insulin, moderate to severe renal disease, or any other chronic disorder which, in the opinion of the investigator, might jeopardize volunteer safety or compliance with the protocol.

  • Hospitalization in the past year for congestive heart failure or emphysema.
  • Chronic Hepatitis B or C.

About this study

Official title: U19 Influenza Immunity: Protective Mechanisms Against a Pandemic Respiratory Virus. Project 1: B-cell Immunity to Influenza

The purpose of the study is to investigate and compare the human immune response in epithelial cells of the nasopharyngeal mucosa and in blood to live, attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) in adults and in children.

Read the detailed description

The objective of the protocol is to investigate the human innate and adaptive immune responses in blood (only for adults) and nasopharyngeal mucosa resident cells to the live, attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) in both adults and children. The investigators hope to learn how the upper respiratory tract (URT) epithelial cells, the primary target of respiratory viruses, and the B cells and T cells, two major components of the immune system, respond to the influenza vaccine.

The volunteers will be enrolled in two age groups:

Group A: Up to 12 healthy non-twin volunteers, 2-8 years old, will be given seasonal LAIV. Each volunteer will complete a total of 3 visits. Volunteers will be divided in 2 sub-groups A-1 (n=6) and A-2 (n= 6) in order to collect nasopharyngeal swabs on different schedules (Day 1 or Day 2). Volunteers will be assigned to these sub-groups based on convenience sampling. Both sub-groups will complete the Day 0 and Day 28 visits and one visit at either Day 1 or Day 2 post-immunization. Specimens will include nasopharyngeal swabs collected at Day 1 for Sub-group A1 and Day 2 for Sub-group A-2, and Day 28 for both sub-groups. No blood samples will be collected in this age group.

Children with no prior influenza vaccine history will receive a second dose of vaccine (LAIV) at least 28 days after the first study dose, according to the ACIP guidelines.

Group B: Up to 18 healthy non-twin volunteers, 18-49 yrs old, will be given seasonal LAIV vaccine. Each volunteer will complete a total of 5 visits. Volunteers will be divided into 3 sub-groups B-1, B-2 and B-3 in order to collect nasopharyngeal swabs and blood specimens on different schedules (Day 0-6 hrs, Day 1 or Day 2). Volunteers will be assigned to these sub-groups based on convenience sampling. All sub-groups will complete visits at Day -7, Day 0 pre-immunization, Day 7 and Day 28 and 1 additional time point: Sub-group B-1 at Day 0, 6 hours post-immunization, Sub-group B-2 at Day 1 and Sub-group B-3 at Day 2. A nasopharyngeal swab will be collected at each visit except for Day 0 (baseline) and Day 7. A blood sample will be collected at each visit except Day -7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing FluMist® in people with Influenza, run by Stanford University.

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 27 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 18 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 9 Mar 2017). 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?

Number of Participants From Each Arm Who Received Influenza Vaccine (time frame: Day 0 to 28). 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 18 Oct 2021.
