What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with immediate Adverse Events (AEs)

    Immediate adverse events are medically relevant unsolicited systemic adverse events reported in the 30 minutes after vaccination

    Measured: Within 30 minutes after each vaccination

  2. Number of participants experiencing solicited administration site reactions (pre-listed in the participant diary and case report form [CRF])

    A solicited reaction is an adverse reaction (sign or symptom) observed and reported under the conditions pre-listed (for example: injection site pain or headache). Solicited administration site reactions are reactions at and around the injection/administration site

    Measured: Within 8 days of each vaccination, including the day of vaccination

  3. Number of participants experiencing solicited systemic reactions (pre-listed in the participant diary and CRF)

    All solicited reactions that are not solicited injection or administration site reactions

    Measured: Within 8 days of each vaccination, including the day of vaccination

  4. Number of participants experiencing unsolicited AEs

    Unsolicited AE: an observed AE that does not fulfill the conditions of solicited reactions

    Measured: Within 21 days after the first vaccination, including the day of the first vaccination, and within 28 days after the second vaccination, including the day of the second vaccination

  5. Number of participants experiencing Medically Attended Adverse Events (MAAEs)

    MAAEs are collected throughout the study

    Measured: From Day 01 until the end of the study, approximately 14 months

  6. Number of participants experiencing Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)

    AESIs are collected throughout the study

    Measured: From Day 01 until the end of the study, approximately 14 months

  7. Number of participants experiencing Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    SAEs are collected throughout the study

    Measured: From Day 01 until the end of the study, approximately 14 months

  8. Number of participants experiencing out-of-range biological test results (including shift from baseline values)

    Safety laboratory assessments will include clinical chemistry and hematology

    Measured: Up to 8 days after each vaccination

  9. Number of participants experiencing AEs leading to discontinuation

    AEs leading to discontinuation are collected throughout the study

    Measured: From Day 01 until the end of the study, approximately 14 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Flu H5 egg pandemic low dose vaccine, with adjuvant, Flu H5 Egg Pandemic medium dose vaccine, with adjuvant and Flu H5 Egg Pandemic high dose vaccine, with adjuvant in people with Healthy Volunteers and Influenza, run by Sanofi at 16 sites 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 6 inclusion and 18 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Contact Trial Transparency email recommended (Toll free for US & Canada) (800-633-1610 ext. option 6, Contact-US@sanofi.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with immediate Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Within 30 minutes after each vaccination). The study lists 13 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 15 Sep 2026.
