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

This is a prospective, randomized, single centre trial in the Queen Mary Hospital. We aim to recruit 400 subjects [with a minimum of 50 subjects per group] who would be qualified for the Hospital Authority (HA)/ Centre for Health Protection (CHP) Mass Vaccination Program for 2010/2011 TIV. These patients include all elderly at the age of 65 or above and all adult patients at the age of 21 or above with chronic illness (or healthcare workers). Subjects will be randomly assigned into 4 groups: Group 1 (ID1) to receive a single low-dose intradermal injection of 2010/2011 TIV, with a microneedle device. Group 2 (ID2) to receive a single higher low-dose intradermal injection of 2010/2011 TIV with a microneedle device. Group 3 (IM15) to receive a single full-dose (15ug) standard 2010/2011 TIV delivered intramuscularly by conventional needle. Group 4 (INT) to receive a single low-dose intradermal injection of 2010/2011 TIV, with Intanza® needle. The 2010/2011 TIV used will be Fluzone®, Sanofi-Pasteur for group 3 and Intanza®, Sanofi-Pasteur for group 1,2 and 4.

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.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
seroconversion rate
Time Frame: day 21
Seroconversion rate (percentage of subjects with a fourfold increase in antibody titres, providing a minimal post vacination titre of 1:40) on day 21 by TIV 2010/2011 hemagglutination inhibition (HI) between the ID and IM groups
day 21

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adverse events
Time Frame: 30 minutes post vaccination
Adverse events secondary to vaccination with different devices
30 minutes post vaccination
Seroprotection rate
Time Frame: Day 21

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.

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.
