About this study

Official title: Maternal Determinants of Immunity to Influenza (MADI-01)

The overall objective of the project is to determine the impact of pregnancy on the response to influenza immunization.

Read the detailed description

The study compares immune responses to influenza vaccination between a group of pregnant women and a group of non-pregnant controls women. Specifically, the study has three aims:

  1. To compare the quality of antibodies induced by influenza immunization in pregnant and non-pregnant women;
  2. To identify immune predictors of vaccine responses in pregnant women and compare them to the determinants of vaccine responses in non-pregnant women;
  3. To identify immune predictors of the transfer of maternal antibodies to the newborn following influenza immunization during pregnancy;

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Haemagglutination Inhibition Assay titre

    Haemagglutination Inhibition Assay (HAI) titres are used to measure responses to relevant influenza strains. The HAI method exploits the property of the influenza virus to haemagglutinate red blood cells. HAI titres are determined as the highest serum dilution inhibiting haemagglutination. An HAI titre of >=40 is considered protective in adults.

    HAI titres will be measured in :

    • Pregnant women
    • Non-pregnant women

    Measured: 28 days post vaccination

  2. Haemagglutination Inhibition Assay titre

    Haemagglutination Inhibition Assay (HAI) titres are used to measure responses to relevant influenza strains. The HAI method exploits the property of the influenza virus to haemagglutinate red blood cells. HAI titres are determined as the highest serum dilution inhibiting haemagglutination. An HAI titre of >=40 is considered protective in adults.

    HAI titres will be measured in :

    • Pregnant women
    • In umbilical cord blood

    Measured: At delivery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Haemagglutination inhibition assay titre

    Haemagglutination Inhibition Assay (HAI) titres are used to measure responses to relevant influenza strains. The HAI method exploits the property of the influenza virus to haemagglutinate red blood cells. HAI titres are determined as the highest serum dilution inhibiting haemagglutination. An HAI titre of >=40 is considered protective in adults.

    HAI titres will be measured in :

    • Pregnant women: at day of vaccination, day 7 post-vaccination, day 28 post-vaccination, at delivery, week 6 and 12 post-delivery
    • Non-pregnant women: at day of vaccination, day 7, day 28, and Month 6 post-vaccination

    Measured: up to 11 months after vaccination

  2. Micro neutralization assay titre

    Micro neutralization assay (MNA) titres are measured on serum samples with detectable HAI titres to determine cross reactivity to related virus strains. This method assesses the ability of serum antibodies to prevent virus from infecting a single layer of cells in a micro titre plate.

    MNA titres will be measured in :

    • Pregnant women: at day of vaccination, day 7 post-vaccination, day 28 post-vaccination, at delivery, week 6 and 12 post-delivery
    • Non-pregnant women: at day of vaccination, day 7, day 28, and Month 6 post-vaccination

    Measured: up to 11 months after vaccination

  3. Influenza virus specific IgG titre

    IgG titres specific to influenza virus Hemagglutinin (HA) and Neuraminidase (NA) are measured using conventional Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods. The Enzyme-Linked Lectin Assay (ELLA) is used for detection of NA-specific antibodies only, using reverse genetics viruses with irrelevant HA to ensure only NA antibodies are measured. ELLA is an ELISA variant but adapted to measure the concentration of antibody to NA, determining the amount of sialic acid cleaved from fetuin.

    IgG titres specific to Influenza Antigens will be assessed by ELISA and ELLA in:

    • Pregnant women: at day of vaccination, day 7 post-vaccination, day 28 post-vaccination, at delivery, week 6 and 12 post-delivery
    • Non-pregnant women: at day of vaccination, day 7, day 28, and Month 6 post-vaccination

    Measured: up to 11 month after vaccination

  4. Influenza virus specific IgG antibody avidity

    IgG avidity will be measured using chaotropic salts.

    IgG avidity will be assessed in :

    • Pregnant women: at day of vaccination, day 7 post-vaccination, day 28 post-vaccination, at delivery, week 6 and 12 post-delivery
    • Non-pregnant women: at day of vaccination, day 7, day 28, and Month 6 post-vaccination

    Measured: up to 11 months after vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Influenza vaccine in people with Vaccination; Infection and Maternal-Fetal Relations, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Saint Pierre 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 1 inclusion and 7 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 24 Mar 2025. 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. 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 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?

Haemagglutination Inhibition Assay titre (time frame: 28 days post vaccination). 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 24 Mar 2025.
