Effect of Influenza Vaccination on Global Systemic Inflammatory Markers in Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease (IVAMI)

Effect of Influenza Vaccination on Global Systemic Inflammatory Markers in Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease - Randomized Delayed-Start Pilot Trial

Observational and randomized studies suggest that influenza vaccine may reduce future cardiovascular events in patients with cardiovascular disease. Beyond classical view of indirect effect, linked to the neutralisation of the virus, it is currently considered whether the vaccination may have a direct effect on inflammatory process.Atherosclerosis is known to be driven both by lipid stress and inflammation both at local and systemic level. The investigators suggest that influenza vaccination could have a positive effect on atherosclerosis by regulating plasma inflammation. The aim of this pilot study is therefore to assess the impact of influenza vaccination in patients with stable coronary artery disease on the circulating inflammatory response, in order to validate its potential immunomodulatory effect. If it is found to be beneficial, it could also constitute a future adjuvant therapeutic tool to traditional pharmacotherapy in the prevention of cardiovascular events.

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

A multi-center, open-label, randomized delayed-start pilot study in 2 parallel groups will be conducted: participants will be randomized as to when the influenza vaccine will be administered, according to a 1:1 ratio between influenza vaccination immediately after inclusion or at 1-month follow-up. Blood tests for plasmatic inflammation analyses will be collected at baseline and at 1 month after study inclusion.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects aged ≥ 60 years.
  • With documented stable coronary artery disease.

  • Signature of free, written and informed consent by the patient.
  • Affiliation to a French social security system.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of serious reaction to influenza vaccine or refusal of vaccination or contraindication to vaccination.

  • Acute infection within <3 months or acute worsening of chronic diseases.
  • Severe neurocognitive disorders (inability to give informed consent).
  • Pre-existing medical conditions or medications involving the immune system (rheumatoid arthritis or other inflammatory conditions or active cancer, recent use (within the past year) of immunosuppressive or modulating agents, including oral steroids, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy) .
  • Cardiovascular surgery or other interventions within 6 months preceding the study or planned during the follow-up period.
  • Patient's wish or clinical situation requiring co-administration with other vaccines or any factor hindering monitoring.
  • Patient under guardianship, curatorship or safeguard of justice.

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.
