About this study

Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity of Fluzone® Quadrivalent and Fluzone® High-Dose, Influenza Vaccines, 2017-2018 Formulations

The aim of the study was to describe the safety and immunogenicity of the 2017-2018 formulation of Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine in children 6 months to < 9 years of age, and in adults 18 to < 65 years of age, and to describe the safety and immunogenicity of the 2017-2018 formulation of Fluzone High-Dose vaccine in adults ≥ 65 years of age.

Read the detailed description

All participants received 1 intramuscular dose of their assigned vaccine during Visit 1. For participants, for whom 2 doses of influenza vaccine were recommended per Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) guidance, a second dose of the same volume as the first dose was administered during Visit 2 (28 days after Visit 1). Solicited adverse reaction (AR) information was collected for 7 days following each vaccination. Unsolicited non-serious adverse event (AE) and serious adverse event (SAE) information was collected from Visit 1 to Visit 2 or from Visit 1 to Visit 3 for those participants receiving 2 doses of study vaccine.

Immunogenicity was evaluated in all participants prior to vaccination on Day 0 (Visit 1) and after the final vaccination (Day 28 post-final vaccination for participants 6 months to < 9 years of age and Day 21 post-vaccination for participants ≥ 18 years of age).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine and Fluzone High-Dose vaccine in people with Influenza and Flu, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company 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 5 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 29 Mar 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 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 17 Dec 2018). 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 Reporting Solicited Injection Site (Tenderness/Pain, Erythema, Swelling) and Systemic Reactions (Fever, Vomiting, Crying Abnormal, Drowsiness, Appetite Lost, Irritability): Group 1 (6 to < 36 Months) (time frame: Within 7 days after any vaccination). The study lists 10 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 29 Mar 2022.
