  • Chronic Hepatitis B or C.
  • Recent or current use of immunosuppressive medication, including systemic glucocorticoids (corticosteroid nasal sprays and topical steroids are permissible). Use of oral steroids (<20mg prednisone-equivalent/day) may be acceptable after review by the investigator.
  • Malignancy, other than squamous cell or basal cell skin cancer (includes solid tumors such as breast cancer or prostate cancer with recurrence in the past year, and any hematologic cancer such as leukemia).
  • Autoimmune disease (including rheumatoid arthritis treated with immunosuppressive medication such as Plaquenil, methotrexate, prednisone, Enbrel) which, in the opinion of the investigator might jeopardize volunteer safety or compliance with the protocol.
  • History of blood dyscrasias, renal disease, or hemoglobinopathies requiring regular medical follow up or hospitalization during the preceding year
  • Use of any anti-coagulation medication such as Coumadin or Lovenox, or anti-platelet agents such as aspirin (except up to 325 mg per day), Plavix, or Aggrenox will be reviewed by investigators to determine if study participation would affect the volunteer's safety or compliance with the protocol.
  • Receipt of blood or blood products within the past 6 months or planned used during the study.
  • A medical or psychiatric condition or occupational responsibilities that preclude participant compliance with the protocol
  • Receipt of an inactivated vaccine 14 days prior to study enrollment, or planned vaccinations prior to completion of last annual study visit (~ 28 days after study vaccination)
  • Receipt of a live, attenuated vaccine within 60 days prior to enrollment of planned vaccination prior to completion of last study visit (~ 28 days after study enrollment)
  • Need for allergy immunization (that cannot be postponed) until after the last study visit.
  • History of Guillain-Barre# syndrome
  • Use of investigational agents within 30 days prior to enrollment or planned use during the study.
  • Donation of the equivalent of a unit of blood within 6 weeks prior to enrollment or donation of platelets within 2 weeks of enrollment or planned donation prior to completion of the last visit.
  • Pregnancy
  • Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with volunteer safety,

About this study

This is one project of a larger ongoing study related to the immune system's response to the flu virus. This study is designed to determine how immune memory develops at the actual site of exposure, and how immunization may alter this process.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase IV study of licensed influenza vaccines with up to 50 volunteers, 20-75 years of age.

Each volunteer will participate for approximately 1 week including enrollment, vaccination, and completion of sample collection.

The study has a total of 3 visits.

Study Procedures:

Screening Visit: Procedures during this visit are: Informed consent process, assess eligibility collect relevant clinical data and obtain 10 mL of blood to ensure the FNA will be safe (acceptable CBC and PT/PTT).

Visit 1: Vaccination Visit:

Eligible subjects will return and have a 20 mL blood sample. Participants will receive the inactivated flu vaccine into the right anterior quadriceps. Volunteers will be monitored for at least 15 minutes after study vaccination.

Visit 2: FNA Procedure: Seven days after vaccination the participant will return for another collection of 20 ml of blood and a fine needle aspiration of a right inguinal lymph node under ultrasound guidance by a trained pathologist.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) in people with Influenza, run by Stanford University at 1 site 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 22 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2023. 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 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

HAI titer (time frame: Day 7 after vaccination). 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 Nov 2023.
