Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Healthy subjects who are capable of being vaccinated and subjects with primary diseases (cardiovascular conditions, metabolic conditions such as diabetes mellitus, respiratory diseases) who are capable of being vaccinated and aged over 18 years who want to be vaccinated against influenza or for whom the doctor considers prophylactic influenza immunisation to be indicated.
  • The inclusion of individuals who had not been immunised in the 2001/2002 season is preferred.
  • Written consent to vaccination must be available after the subjects have been briefed on the study in understandable language.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Use of study or unlicensed medication or administration of a vaccine other than the study vaccine within 30 days preceding vaccination and/or during the study period
  • Acute disease at the beginning of the study
  • Acute clinically significant changes in the lungs, cardiovascular system, liver or kidney function, identified by physical examination or laboratory tests
  • Pregnancy
  • Women who would like to fall pregnant during the period from the day of vaccination to 1 month thereafter
  • Known allergic reactions that might have been caused by one or more ingredients of the vaccine

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
GMT of the haemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies (HIA) and calculation of seroconversion factor, seroconversion rate and seroprotection rate checked against the CHMP criteria. The seroprotection power will be calculated as well.
Time Frame: On Day 21 (± 2) after vaccination
On Day 21 (± 2) after vaccination
Descriptive comparison of the occurrence, severity and causal relationship to vaccination of solicited local and general symptoms
Time Frame: Within 4 days after vaccination
Within 4 days after vaccination

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Descriptive comparison of the occurrence and causal relationship to vaccination of unsolicited signs and symptoms
Time Frame: Within 30 days after vaccination
Within 30 days after vaccination
Descriptive comparison of the occurrence, severity and causal relationship to vaccination of any serious adverse events (SAEs)
Time Frame: During the entire study period.
During the entire study period.
Investigation of antibody persistence assessed by the criteria of the CHMP.
Time Frame: 11, 19, 27 weeks after vaccination
11, 19, 27 weeks after vaccination

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
September 1, 2002

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
