About this study

This study is being done to understand and measure how the immune system responds to and remembers different types of vaccines. To do this, four vaccines approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be given simultaneously to participants. Participants will be volumteers who are healthy adults (18 years old or older) and willing to receive the yearly trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV), the tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap), the nonvalent HPV (HPV) vaccine, hepatitis A virus (HAV) vaccine and undergo study procedures.

Procedures will include:

  • medical history relevant to the study, including medications and vaccines received.
  • Vitals (blood pressure, pulse) and temperature
  • Height and weight.
  • Physical exams.
  • Receive the TIV, Tdap, HPV, and HAV vaccines.
  • Blood samples collected for immunologic tests and genetic analysis.
  • Donate bone marrow by needle aspiration at a maximum of seven visits.
  • Complete memory aid every evening for 7 days after vaccination

Optional Procedures include:

  • Donate bone marrow core biopsies at the same visits
  • Ultrasound of lymph nodes and fine needle aspirates of lymph nodes in both arm pits at a maximum of eight separate visits

There will be a screening visit and and a Day 1 where vaccinations will occur and subsequent visits at Day 8, Day 14, Day 29, Day 57, Day 121, Day 181, Day 366, Day 546, and Day 731.

At each of these visits health status, vital signs and blood collection will occur.

A bone marrow aspirate and lymph node aspirate will be collected at screening.

The six additional bone marrow aspirates will be repeated at D29, D91, D181, D366, D546, and D731. The optional bone marrow core biopsy will also be repeated at that time.

Up to seven separate visits will be scheduled for the follow-up lymph node aspirates (D29, D57, D91, D181, D366, D546, and D731)

Study participation will be 24 months.

trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV), nonavalent HPV vaccine (HPV), hepatitis A (HAV) vaccines, tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV), nonavalent HPV vaccine (HPV) and hepatitis A (HAV) vaccines in people with Immunology and Healthy Adults, run by Washington University School of Medicine 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 7 inclusion and 13 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 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 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.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Primary Outcome Measure (time frame: day 29). 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 1 Jul 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
