  9. Number of patients with abnormal results of heart rate (HR)

    The HR is measured during auscultation of the heart in parallel with determining the pulse rate on the radial artery (or on the carotid artery in case of weak pulsation in the radial artery) for a minute while sitting.

    Measured: days 0,1,7,28,180

  10. Number of patients with abnormal results of respiratory rate (RR)

    The RR is measured for a minute at rest in the sitting position, by registering the breathing movements of the chest or abdominal wall.

    Measured: days 0,1,7,28,180

  11. Number of patients with abnormal results of body temperature (>37 °С)

    Body temperature (°C) is measured with a mercury or digital thermometer in the armpit for at least 5 minutes or with a non-contact infrared digital thermometer.

    Measured: days 0,1,7,28,180

  12. Number of patients with abnormal results of physical examination

    Physical examination of volunteers includes an interview, discovery of complaints and symptoms, when required, palpation, auscultation, percussion.

    Measured: days 0,1,7,28,180

  13. Number of patients with abnormal results of neurological status

    Assessment of:

    • Cranial nerve function
    • Motor sphere
    • Reflex sphere
    • Sensitive sphere
    • Coordination sphere
    • Pelvic functions
    • Higher mental functions

    Measured: days 0,7,28

  14. Determination of total IgE

    Measured: days 0,7,28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Flu-M [inactivated split influenza vaccine] without preservative and Flu-M [inactivated split influenza vaccine] with preservative in people with Influenza and Flu, Human, run by St. Petersburg Research Institute of Vaccines and Sera at 8 sites in Russia.

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 25 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 5 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Russia. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 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?

Change from baseline geometric mean titer ratio of antibodies for each virus strain (GMT (Flu-M w/p) / GMT (Flu-M w/o/p) at 6 months (time frame: days 0-180). 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?
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 5 Apr 2022.
