Infliximab IBD Influenza Vaccine Study

May 5, 2016 updated by: Jennifer deBruyn, University of Calgary

Effect of Influenza Vaccination Timing on Immune Response in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease on Infliximab Therapy: A Randomized Equivalence Trial

The investigators will compare the immunogenicity of influenza vaccine in adults and children with inflammatory bowel disease by timing of vaccine in relation to maintenance infliximab dosing. The primary objective is to compare the proportion of IBD patients on maintenance infliximab who mount serologic protection to each component of the influenza vaccination between patients vaccinated on day of infliximab infusion (Day 0 to 4) and patients vaccinated at the mid-point between infliximab infusions (Day 21 to 28). Serologic protection will be defined by a hemagglutination-inhibition titer ≥ 1:40. The secondary objective is to compare the proportion of IBD patients who mount an immunogenic response (≥ 4-fold increase from pre to post-vaccination titer) to each component of the influenza vaccination between patients vaccinated on day of infliximab infusion and those vaccinated at the mid-point.

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
137

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

5 years to 56 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of IBD established by accepted criteria
  • On maintenance infliximab administered every 6 to 8 weeks (already received at least 6 weeks of infliximab)

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
Serologic protection
Time Frame: 28 days ± 3 days after influenza vaccination
To compare the proportion of IBD patients on maintenance infliximab who mount serologic protection to each component of the influenza vaccination between patients vaccinated on day of infliximab infusion (Day 0 to 4) and patients vaccinated at the mid-point between infliximab infusions (Day 21 to 28). Serologic protection will be defined by a hemagglutination-inhibition titer ≥ 1:40.
28 days ± 3 days after influenza 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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Immunogenic response
Time Frame: 28 days ± 3 days after influenza vaccination
To compare the proportion of IBD patients on maintenance infliximab who mount an immunogenic response to each component of the influenza vaccination between patients vaccinated on day of infliximab infusion (Day 0 to 4) and patients vaccinated at the mid-point between infliximab infusions (Day 21 to 28). Immunogenicity will be defined as a fourfold or greater differences in titer between pre and post-vaccination sera.
28 days ± 3 days after influenza vaccination

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of participants with serious adverse events
Time Frame: 3 days post vaccination
To evaluate the number of participants with early serious adverse reactions (≤ 3 days post-vaccination)
3 days post vaccination
Change in disease activity from baseline
Time Frame: Four week post-vaccination
To evaluate the change in disease activity score from baseline using the validated instruments of the Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index for participants with Ulcerative Coltiis and the Harvey Bradshaw Index for participants with Crohn's Disease
Four week post-vaccination
