  • Asymptomatic chronic conditions or findings (eg, mild hypertension, dyslipidemia) that are not associated with evidence of end-organ damage are not exclusionary provided that they are being appropriately managed and are clinically stable (ie, unlikely to result in symptomatic illness within the time-course of this trial) in the opinion of the investigator.
  • Acute or chronic illnesses or conditions which may be reasonably predicted to become symptomatic if treatment were withdrawn or interrupted are exclusionary, even if stable.
  • Acute or chronic illnesses reasonably expected to be associated with increased risks in the event of influenza infection (eg, cardio-pulmonary diseases, diabetes mellitus, renal or hepatic dysfunction, hemoglobinopathies) are exclusionary, even if stable.
  • Note that illnesses or conditions may be exclusionary, even if otherwise stable, due to therapies used to treat them (see exclusion criteria 2, 5, 8, 9).

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2, Randomized, Observer-Blinded, Active-Controlled Trials to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Recombinant Trivalent Nanoparticle Influenza Vaccine With Matrix-M1 Adjuvant (NanoFlu) in Healthy Older Adults

This was a Phase 1/2, randomized, observer-blinded, active-controlled trial to assess the Safety and Tolerability of a Recombinant Trivalent Nanoparticle Influenza Vaccine (Tri-NIV) with Matrix M1™ Adjuvant in Healthy Older Adults ≥ 60 Years of Age

Read the detailed description

Study tNIV-E-101 a randomized, observer-blinded, active-controlled trial designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Novavax's insect cell-derived, egg-free, influenza vaccine (Tri-NIV) based on recombinant HA nanoparticle antigens, representing the 3 major influenza types/subtypes recommended for inclusion in the 2017 - 2018 seasonal influenza vaccine by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) Approximately 330 eligible subjects were enrolled and randomized into 1 of 3 treatment groups Each group consisted of approximately 110 subjects total, stratified by age, gender, and history of receipt of the 2016 - 17 influenza vaccine. On Day 0, subjects in Groups A and B were administered an IM injection of NanoFlu at one of two dose levels; subjects in Group C received the preconfigured comparator (Fluzone HD) at the manufacturer's recommended dose and volume. On Day 21, all Group A and B subjects were administered a rescue injection with a licensed seasonal influenza vaccine. In contrast, all Group C subjects were administered an injection with a sterile saline placebo to maintain the trial blind. Trial follow-up for each subject spanned approximately 1 year from Day 0.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing NanoFlu, Fluzone HD - Day 0 and Fluzone HD - Day 21 in people with Influenza, run by Novavax at 3 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 3 inclusion and 16 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 21 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 combined 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.

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 21 Dec 2022). 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 With All Adverse Events (AEs), Medically Attended Adverse Events (MAAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Significant New Medical Conditions (SNMCs). (time frame: Day 0 - Day 21 post dosing). The study lists 6 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 21 Dec 2022.
