What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants (Group 1: Aged 6 to <36 Months) Reporting Solicited Injection Site Reactions and Systemic Reactions

    A solicited reaction was an adverse event (AE) that was pre-listed in the electronic case report form (eCRF) and considered to be related to vaccination. Solicited injection (Inj.) site reactions: tenderness, erythema and swelling. Solicited systemic reactions: fever, vomiting, crying abnormal, drowsiness, appetite lost and irritability.

    Measured: Within 7 days post any vaccination

  2. Number of Participants (Groups 2, 3, 4 and 5: Children Aged 3 to <9 Years and Adults 18 to >=65 Years) Reporting Solicited Injection Site Reactions or Systemic Reactions

    A solicited reaction was an AE that was pre-listed in the eCRF and considered to be related to vaccination. Solicited injection site reactions: pain, erythema and swelling. Solicited systemic reactions: fever, headache, malaise, and myalgia.

    Measured: Within 7 days post any vaccination

  3. Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Antibodies in Children 6 Months to <9 Years of Age (Groups 1 and 2) Receiving Fluzone Quadrivalent Vaccine

    GMT of anti-influenza antibodies were measured using a hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay for 4 strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B Victoria lineage, and B Yamagata lineage.

    Measured: 28 days post-final vaccination

  4. Geometric Mean Titers of Antibodies in Adults (Groups 3, 4 and 5) Receiving Either Fluzone Quadrivalent Vaccine, Flublok Quadrivalent Vaccine, or Fluzone High-Dose Vaccine

    GMTs of anti-influenza antibodies were measured using an HAI assay for 4 strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B Victoria lineage, and B Yamagata lineage in Groups 3 and 4, and using HAI assay for 3 strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and B Victoria lineage in Group 5.

    Measured: Day 21 (post-vaccination)

  5. Geometric Mean Titer Ratios (GMTRs) of Antibodies in Children 6 Months to <9 Years of Age (Groups 1 and 2) Receiving Fluzone Quadrivalent Vaccine

    GMT of anti-influenza antibodies were measured using an HAI assay for 4 strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B Victoria lineage, and B Yamagata lineage. GMTRs were calculated as the ratio of GMTs post-final vaccination and pre-vaccination.

    Measured: Day 0 (pre-vaccination), 28 days post-final vaccination

  6. Geometric Mean Titer Ratios of Antibodies in Adults (Groups 3, 4 and 5) Receiving Either Fluzone Quadrivalent Vaccine, Flublok Quadrivalent Vaccine, or Fluzone High-Dose Vaccine

    GMTs of anti-influenza antibodies were measured using an HAI assay for 4 strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B Victoria lineage, and B Yamagata lineage in Groups 3 and 4, and using HAI assay for 3 strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and B Victoria lineage in Group 5. GMTRs were calculated as the ratio of GMTs post vaccination and pre-vaccination.

    Measured: Day 0 (pre-vaccination), Day 21 (post-vaccination)

  7. Percentage of Participants With Seroprotection to Influenza Vaccine Antigens After Vaccination With Fluzone Quadrivalent Vaccine: Groups 1 and 2

    Anti-influenza antibodies were measured using an HAI assay for 4 strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B Victoria lineage, and B Yamagata lineage. Seroprotection was defined as antibody titer >=40 (1/ dilution) at pre-vaccination and at post-final vaccination.

    Measured: 28 days post-final vaccination

  8. Percentage of Participants With Seroprotection to Influenza Vaccine Antigens After Vaccination With Either Fluzone Quadrivalent Vaccine, Flublok Quadrivalent Vaccine or Fluzone High Dose Vaccine: Group 3, 4 and 5

    Anti-influenza antibodies were measured using an HAI assay for 4 strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B Victoria lineage, and B Yamagata lineage in Groups 3 and 4, and using HAI assay for 3 strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and B Victoria lineage in Group 5. Seroprotection was defined as antibody titer >=40 (1/dilution) at pre-vaccination and at post-final vaccination.

    Measured: Day 21 (post-vaccination)

  9. Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion to Influenza Vaccine Antigens After Vaccination With Fluzone Quadrivalent Vaccine: Group 1 and 2

    Anti-influenza antibodies were measured using an HAI assay for 4 strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B Victoria lineage, and B Yamagata lineage. Seroconversion was defined as either a pre-vaccination titer <10 (1/dilution) and a post-final vaccination titer >= 40 (1/dilution) or a pre-vaccination titer >= 10 (1/dilution) and >=4-fold increase in post-final vaccination titer.

    Measured: 28 days post-final vaccination

  10. Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion to Influenza Vaccine Antigens After Vaccination With Either Fluzone Quadrivalent Vaccine, Flublok Quadrivalent Vaccine or Fluzone High Dose Vaccine: Group 3, 4 and 5

    Anti-influenza antibodies were measured using an HAI assay for 4 strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B Victoria lineage, and B Yamagata lineage in Group 3 and 4, and using an HAI assay for 3 strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B Victoria lineage in Group 5. Seroconversion was defined as either a pre-vaccination titer <10 (1/dilution) and a post-vaccination titer >= 40 (1/dilution) or a pre-vaccination titer >= 10 (1/dilution) and >=4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer.

    Measured: Day 21 (post-vaccination)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine, 2018-2019 formulation, Flublok Quadrivalent vaccine, 2018-2019 formulation and Fluzone High-Dose vaccine, 2018-2019 formulation in people with Influenza, 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 20 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 25 Nov 2019). 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 (Group 1: Aged 6 to <36 Months) Reporting Solicited Injection Site Reactions and Systemic Reactions (time frame: Within 7 days post 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.
