The Influence of Chronic CMV Infection on Influenza Vaccine Responses (SLVP025)

April 17, 2023 updated by: Philip Grant, Stanford University

The Influence of Chronic Cytomegalovirus Infection on Influenza Vaccine Responses

In this study we are trying to understand whether previous infection with a particular virus, namely cytomegalovirus (CMV), influences the ability of the immune system to respond to new infections or vaccinations with age.

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

The investigators want to compare the T- and B-cell response to conventional intramuscular trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) in elderly individuals dependent on the presence and duration of CMV infection by analyses of vaccine-induced plasmablasts, antibodies and antigen-specific T cells. Healthy volunteers, > 60 years of age, will be identified by the Stanford Blood Center based on their history of positive or negative CMV serologies. Baseline blood samples will be drawn from all study participants prior to immunization. All participants will receive a single dose of 2012-2013 licensed TIV. Volunteers will complete 3 study visits at Day 0, Day 7 and Day 28.

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

60 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

  • Use of any anti-coagulation medication such as Coumadin or Lovenox, or anti-platelet agents such as aspirin (except up to 325 mg aspirin per day), Plavix, or Aggrenox must be reviewed by investigator to determine if this would affect the volunteer's safety.

  • Need an allergy immunization (that cannot be postponed) during the study period V01 to V03 (~Day 28)
  • History of Guillain-Barré Syndrome
  • Use of investigational agents within 30 days prior to enrollment or planned use of investigational agents prior to completion of study visits
