May 20, 2009 updated by: Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences

Controlled Trial of Serologic Efficacy of Influenza Vaccine in Patients With Sarcoidosis

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of influenza vaccine (antibody response) in patients with sarcoidosis.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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.

Detailed Description

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease with unclear etiology characterized by the presence of noncaseating granuloma[1]. T helper cells response is exaggerated at the site of disease and cellular immunity depressed in peripheral blood[2]. Cutaneous anergy, lymphopenia and inversion of CD4/CD8 ratio in peripheral blood suggest T helper cells involvement[3].

The action of humeral immune system in sarcoidosis is a matter of controversy. Standard hepatitis B virus vaccination did not provoke protective antibody titer in patients with sarcoidosis[3]. Although antibody response against influenza vaccine in patients with sarcoidosis is not well described, this vaccine is highly recommended in patients with chronic pulmonary diseases such as asthma, COPD and fibrosis [4, 5, 6]. In this study we aim to evaluate the humeral response to the influenza vaccine in sarcoidosis patients and assess vaccine safety.

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

20 years to 60 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Caes are defined as patients known as sarcoidosis and are under follow up at a tertiary care hospital clinic. Age and sex matched healthy healthcare workers serve as controls.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Sarcoidosis patients:

  • Patients with relevant clinical, radiologic and histologic features of sarcoidosis (all stages).
  • Signed informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Organ failure (kidney, heart, liver).
  • Collagen vascular diseases.
  • Diabetes.
  • Contraindications of vaccine (Egg allergy).
  • Patients who receive high dose (> 60 mg/day) steroid therapy.
  • Any acute disease.
  • Conditions accompanied by immunosuppression (like organ transplantation, HIV).

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
Serologic Response (equal or more than 4 fold HI titer rise) to each of the 3 antigens of the trivalent vaccine of the 2008-9 influenza vaccine
Time Frame: 4-6 weeks
4-6 weeks

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
Magnitude of change in the antibody titer against each of the 3 antigenes of the trivalent vaccine of the 2008/2009 season [A/Brisbane/59/2007(HIN1)-like virus;A/Brisbane/10/2007(H3N2)-like virus;B/Florida/4/2006-like virus]
Time Frame: 4-6 weeks
4-6 weeks
Protective Antibody (equal or more than 1:40) titer after vaccination
Time Frame: 4-6 weeks
4-6 weeks
Vaccine Safety (any major or minor side effects)
Time Frame: 2 months
2 months
