About this study

Official title: Influenza Vaccine Antibody Response and 6-month Persistence in Lung Transplant Recipients Using Two Definitions of Seroprotection

This a sub-study of a 5-year study designed to investigate how antibody and T cell responses following influenza vaccine compare among lung transplant patients, patients waiting for lung transplantation, and healthy individuals.

This study is designed to investigate two different definitions of influenza vaccine seroprotection at mid-season in lung transplant patients.

Read the detailed description

Given the significant risk of morbidity and mortality, it is critical and highly recommended that lung transplant patients receive annual influenza immunizations that confer protection throughout the influenza season. Previous studies have demonstrated that transplant recipients and nonimmunocompromised populations display similar rates of seroprotection between 3 and 5 weeks after influenza vaccination, despite the transplant population achieving generally lower antibody concentrations. Two studies show influenza vaccine antibody persistence at reasonable rates at 1 year, but not 2 years, after immunization. However, there are no studies comparing seroprotection rates 6 months after vaccination, reflecting adequate coverage throughout the entire influenza season.

Seroprotection has traditionally been defined as an antibody concentration of at least 40 hemagglutination units (HAU) after vaccination, which is the criterion for influenza vaccine licensure. This concentration of antibody provides protection from infection at a rate of about 50% in typically healthy individuals. Protection from infection improves with higher antibody concentrations. For this study, a HAU of at least 160 was selected as a more conservative definition of seroprotection, where protection may reach up to 95%.

The hypothesis is that seroprotection, defined as 40 HAU or greater, will persist up to 6 months at high rates in lung transplant patients and that these rates will be comparable to the rates in healthy individuals. As a secondary outcome, seroprotection rates are compared when 160 HAU or greater was used to define seroprotection.

Influenza vaccine responses in lung transplant patients and healthy control subjects without lung disease will be compared over the course of the 2008 to 2009 influenza season.

Serum collected from participants before immunization, 2 to 4 weeks after immunization (postimmunization), and 6 months after immunization.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Influenza vaccineDrug

    influenza vaccine 0.5 ml intramuscularly during 2008-2009 season for measurement of A/Brisbane/59/2007(H1N1)-like, A/Brisbane/10/2007(H3N2)-like, and B/Florida/4/2006-like antigens

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with Seroprotection to Influenza Vaccine: 40 HAU

    The hypothesis is that seroprotection, defined as 40 HAU or greater, will persist up to 6 months at high rates in lung transplant patients and that these rates will be comparable to the rates in healthy individuals. Seroprotection (antibody titer greater than or equal to 1:40) will be reported for H1N1, H3N2, and B viral antigens.

    Measured: up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants with Seroprotection to Influenza Vaccine: 160 HAU

    Seroprotection (antibody titer greater than or equal to 1:160) will be reported for H1N1, H3N2, and B viral antigens.

    Measured: up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Influenza, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 23 Oct 2020. 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.

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?

Number of Participants with Seroprotection to Influenza Vaccine: 40 HAU (time frame: up to 6 months). 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 NCT04531657, 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 23 Oct 2020.
