About this study

Official title: A Single Center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, First-in-human Phase 1 Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of the Adjuvanted Universal Influenza Vaccine "fH1/DSP-0546LP" After Intramuscular (IM) Administrations in Healthy Adults

This study is a single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding, FIH, Phase 1 study to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the adjuvanted Universal Influenza Vaccine (fH1/DSP-0546LP) after IM administrations in healthy adults.

Read the detailed description

This will be a single center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. In this study, safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of fH1 formulated with DSP-0546LP will be assessed after IM administration in healthy adults aged 18 to 40 years.

This study includes 6 cohorts, with a combination of 2 dose levels of fH1 (2 and 8 μg), 3 dose levels of DSP-0546LP (2.5, 5, and 10 μg), and placebo. Each dose level of fH1 will be combined with the low, medium, and high dose level of DSP-0546LP. Subjects will receive 2 administrations at 3-week intervals.

Randomized subjects will undergo 11 visits including screening, 2 administration visits (Day 1 and Day 22 [± 2]), and follow-up visits on Day 4 (+1) (telephone contact), Day 8 (± 1), Day 25 (+1) (telephone contact), Day 29 (± 1), Day 36 (± 2), Day 50 (± 4), Day 204 (± 7), and Day 386 (± 10).

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of solicited local adverse events (AEs) during a 7-day follow-up period after each administration.

    Solicited local AEs: pain, redness, swelling, induration, warmth, and pruritus at injection site

    Measured: 7 days after each administration

  2. Incidence of solicited systemic AEs during a 7-day follow-up period after each administration.

    Solicited systemic AEs: feverishness, chills, myalgia, fatigue, headache, nausea, arthralgia, malaise, and body temperature (measured axillary)

    Measured: 7 days after each administration

  3. Incidence of unsolicited AEs from the first administration to 4 weeks after the second administration.

    Clinical observations, clinical laboratory values and vital signs

    Measured: From the first administration to 4 weeks after the second administration.

  4. Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs), AEs leading to study discontinuation, and adverse events of special interest throughout the study period.

    Measured: From the first administration to 52-week follow-up after the second administration

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of subjects with increased immunoglobulin (Ig) G response to long alpha helix (LAH) after administration of fH1/DSP-0546LP.

    Measured: From the day of the first administration to 52-week follow-up after the second administration

  2. Percentage of subjects with increased neuraminidase inhibition antibody titer after administration of fH1/DSP-0546LP.

    Measured: From the day of the first administration to 1 week after the second administration.

  3. Seroconversion rate (SCR) of hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) antibody titers after administration of fH1/DSP-0546LP.

    SCR is defined as the percentage of subjects with either a baseline (Day 1) HAI titer < 1:10 and post-administration titer ≥ 1:40, or baseline titer ≥ 1:10 and ≥ 4-fold increase in post-administration titer.

    Measured: From the day of the first administration to 1 week after the second administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing fH1 2 ug, fH1 8 ug and DSP-0546LP 2.5 ug in people with Influenza, run by Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd. at 1 site in Belgium.

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 16 inclusion and 24 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 17 Apr 2026. 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 Belgium. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Incidence of solicited local adverse events (AEs) during a 7-day follow-up period after each administration. (time frame: 7 days after each administration). The study lists 4 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 17 Apr 2026.
