About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Influenza Vaccine in Cancer Patients Receiving Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor

The purpose of this study is to elucidate efficacy and safety of influenza vaccine in cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor.

Read the detailed description
  • Solid cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor or cytotoxic chemotherapy will be recruited 1:2 manner in two hospitals. Target numbers are 48 and 95, respectively.
  • All the participants will be vaccinated for influenza during their chemotherapy when they meet inclusion criteria.
  • All the participants will be asked if they have any contraindication for influenza vaccine by a physician before vaccination.
  • Hemagglutination inhibition Ab titre at pre-vaccination and post-vaccination (21-35 days after vaccination) will be examined in all participants to examine seroprotection rates, seroconversion rates, and changes in geometric mean titer.
  • And they will be monitored for any vaccination-related adverse reaction or immune-related adverse events after 2-4 days(via phone call), and till 6 months after vaccination (when they visit oncology clinics).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Seroprotection rate

    The percentage of vaccine recipients with a serum haemagglutination inhibition(HI) titre ≥40 post vaccination (21-28 days)

    Measured: 21 to 35 days after vaccination

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Seroconversion rate

    Seroconversion rate is defined as the percentage of vaccine recipients with a fourfold increase or more in post-vaccination HI titre

    Measured: 21 to 35 days after vaccination

  2. Geometric mean titer of HI

    Geometric mean titers of HI (haemagglutination inhibition) after vaccination

    Measured: 21 to 35 days after vaccination

  3. Injection-related adverse events

    The proportion of patients who experienced local or systemic adverse events related to vaccination

    Measured: 21 to 35 days after vaccination

  4. Immune-related adverse events

    The proportion of patients who experienced immune checkpoint inhibitor induced immune-related adverse events

    Measured: 6 months after vaccination

  5. T-cell mediated immune response

    The levels of intracellular cytokines measured by flow cytometry

    Measured: 21 to 35 days after vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Influenza vaccination in people with Influenza and Solid Carcinoma, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 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 19 Sep 2019. 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 South Korea. 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.

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?

Seroprotection rate (time frame: 21 to 35 days after vaccination). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03590808, which also lists 9 linked publications.

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 19 Sep 2019.
