About this study

Official title: Lung Transplant Patients' T Cell Responses to Influenza Vaccine Viruses Between Seasons

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 trial is designed to investigate the hypothesis that there is no difference in T Cell response to the influenza vaccine between lung transplant patients and healthy controls.

Read the detailed description

Influenza virus infection causes significant morbidity and mortality each season. The infection is particularly serious in the elderly and those with chronic cardiopulmonary conditions. Solid organ transplant recipients receiving immunosuppressive therapy may be at particularly high risk for serious influenza infection. Lung transplant patients may have an even higher risk because of their underlying pathophysiology.

Influenza prophylaxis is extremely important in the care of the transplant patient. Annual influenza immunization is recommended because protection is short-lived and the vaccine composition changes. However, the efficacy and effectiveness of this intervention is largely unproven. Not surprisingly, studies have shown that lung transplant patients have lower antibody responses than healthy individuals do. To this end, this study tests the hypothesis that the influenza vaccine-induced T cell responses will be similar in lung transplant patients and healthy individuals.

Blood will be drawn prior to and 2-4 weeks after immunization and used to measure antibody responses by hemagglutination inhibition assay.

Samples will be collected in Jan-April each season to study Trans-vivo Delayed Type Hypersensitivity (TVDTH) response.

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 each season

    2004-2005 season contains: A/New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1)-like, A/Fujian/411/2002 (H3N2-like), and B/Shanghai/361/2002-like antigens

    2005-2006 season contains: A/New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1)-like, A/California/7/2004 (H3N2), and B/Shanghai/361/2002-like antigens

What is being measured

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

  1. Antibody response to influenza vaccine

    Blood was drawn prior to and 2-4 weeks after immunization and used to measure antibody responses by hemagglutination inhibition assay

    Measured: 2-4 weeks post-immunization (2004-2005 season), up to 1 year (2-4 weeks post-immunization, 2005-2006 season)

  2. T cell response to influenza vaccine antigens

    T cell response is measured with trans-vivo delayed-type hypersensitivity assay (TVDTH). To induce TVDTH responses, prepared lymphocytes were injected into the footpads of anesthetized (isoflurane) severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice using a 0.5 ml syringe with a 28-gauge needle. The resulting swelling is an index of human T cell sensitization.

    Measured: between January and April 2005, between January and April 2006

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?

Antibody response to influenza vaccine (time frame: 2-4 weeks post-immunization (2004-2005 season), up to 1 year (2-4 weeks post-immunization, 2005-2006 season)). The study lists 2 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 NCT04533061, 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.
