April 19, 2017 updated by: Novartis Vaccines

A Phase III, Observer-Blind, Randomized Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety of Trivalent Subunit Influenza Vaccines, Produced Either in Mammalian Cell Culture (TIVc) or in Embryonated Eggs (TIV), in Children and Adolescents 3 to <18 Years of Age at Risk for Influenza-Related Complications

The study is designed to evaluate the safety of TIVc or TIV vaccine in children 3 to < 18 years of age who are at risk of complications of influenza disease due to underlying diseases.

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.

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

3 years to 17 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Individuals 3 to <18 years of age with underlying medical conditions that indicate an increased risk of complications from influenza infection.
  • Further eligibility criteria may be discussed by contacting the site(s)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Individuals with any fatal prognosis of an underlying medical condition (<12 month life expectancy).
  • Individuals hospitalized at the time of enrolment.
  • Individuals with a history of any anaphylaxis, serious vaccine reactions, or hypersensitivity to any of the vaccine components.

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
Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited Adverse Events (AEs) Following Vaccination With Either TIVc or TIV by Overall Age Group

Safety was assessed in terms of number of the subjects (3 to < 18 years of age) who reported solicited local, systemic AEs as well as other solicited AEs after receiving one or two doses of either TIVc or TIV
Day 1 through Day 7 post injection 1 and Day 29 through Day 35 post injection 2

Time Frame: Day 1 through Day 7 after any vaccination
Safety was assessed in terms of number of the subjects (3 to <6 years,(≥ 6 to < 9 years and 9 to <18 Years of age) who reported solicited local, systemic AEs as well as other solicited AEs after receiving one or two doses of either TIVc or TIV
Day 1 through Day 7 after any vaccination
Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events Following Vaccination With Either TIVc or TIV by Overall Age Group and Age Sub-strata
Time Frame: Day 1 -Day 181(one dose group) Day 1 -Day 209(two dose group)

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.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
