Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 65 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Clinically-stable adult male or female, ≥ 65 years of age. Subjects may have 1 or more chronic medical diagnoses, but should be clinically stable as assessed by:
  • Absence of changes in medical therapy within 1 month due to treatment failure or toxicity,
  • Absence of medical events qualifying as serious adverse events within 2 months; and
  • Absence of known, current, and life-limiting diagnoses which render survival to completion of the protocol unlikely in the opinion of the investigator.
  • Willing and able to give informed consent prior to trial enrollment, and
  • Living in the community and able to attend trial visits, comply with trial requirements, and provide timely, reliable, and complete reports of adverse events.

Who cannot join

  • Participation in research involving investigational product (drug / biologic / device) within 45 days before planned date of first injection.
  • Participation in any previous Novavax's influenza vaccine clinical trial(s).
  • History of a serious reaction to prior influenza vaccination, known allergy to constituents of licensed comparator vaccines or polysorbate 80.
  • History of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) within 6 weeks following a previous influenza vaccine.
  • Received any vaccine in the 4 weeks preceding the trial vaccination and any influenza vaccine within 6 months preceding the trial vaccination.
  • Any known or suspected immunosuppressive illness, congenital or acquired, based on medical history and/or physical examination.
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 continuous days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within 6 months prior to the administration of the trial vaccine. An immunosuppressant dose of glucocorticoid will be defined as a systemic dose ≥ 10 mg of prednisone per day or equivalent. The use of topical, inhaled, and nasal glucocorticoids will be permitted.
  • Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the 3 months preceding the administration of the trial vaccine or during the trial.
  • Acute disease at the time of enrollment (defined as the presence of a moderate or severe illness with or without fever, or an oral temperature ≥ 38.0°C, on the planned day of vaccine administration).
  • Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would pose a health risk to the subject if enrolled or could interfere with evaluation of the vaccine or interpretation of trial results (including neurologic or psychiatric conditions deemed likely to impair the quality of safety reporting).
  • Known disturbance of coagulation.

About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Clinical Trial to Confirm the Dose and Formulation of a Recombinant Quadrivalent Nanoparticle Influenza Vaccine (Quad-NIV) With or Without Matrix-M1™ Adjuvant in Healthy Adults ≥ 65 Years of Age

A Phase 2 trial to confirm the dose and formulation, demonstrate adjuvant effect, and evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single intramuscular injection of Quad-NIV with or without Matrix-M1 adjuvant in healthy adults ≥ 65 years of age.

A total of approximately 1375 subjects were to be randomized to seven treatment groups to receive Quad-NIV or an active comparator.

Read the detailed description

This randomized, observer-blind, active-controlled, Phase 2 trial was conducted at multiple sites. The composition of the Quad-NIV Influenza Vaccines used in this trial included recombinant H1, H3, and two B hemagglutinin proteins for the 2018-2019 Northern Hemisphere influenza virus strains.

Approximately 1375 healthy male and female subjects ≥ 65 years were randomized into 7 treatment groups (group A to group G), receiving various formulations of Quad-NIV, with or without Matrix-M1 adjuvant or one of two active comparator influenza vaccines. Within each site, randomization was stratified by history of receipt of 2017-2018 influenza vaccine. Subjects received two injections 28 days apart. On Day 0, subjects received one of the five Quad-NIV formulations or one of the two comparator influenza vaccines. On Day 28, subjects received either placebo or a licensed influenza vaccine rescue dose, depending on his or her initial randomization.

Subjects were followed for safety for approximately 6 months, with primary immunogenicity results at Day 28.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing NanoFlu (Quad-NIV), Matrix-M Adjuvant and Fluzone HD in people with Influenza, Human, run by Novavax at 14 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 6 inclusion and 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 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 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 4 Nov 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 Subjects With Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Day 0 - Day 182). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03658629, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Nov 2022.
