Prospective Trial of Vaccine Responses Against Pneumococcus and Influenza in Adult Cancer Patients 65 Years of Age and Older
Phase II Prospective Trial of Vaccine Responses Against Pneumococcus and Influenza in Adult Cancer Patients 65 Years of Age and Older
Infections due to influenza and pneumococcus can be very serious and cause death. Anyone can get these infections. However, some people are at greater risk from the disease, including people 65 and older, the very young, and people with special health problems such as people with certain types of cancer, heart, lung, or kidney disease, or diabetes. Influenza can cause a very serious lung infection (pneumonia) and increase the risk of stroke and heart attacks. Pneumococcal disease can lead to serious infections in the lungs (pneumonia), the blood (bacteremia), and the covering of the brain (meningitis). People with the special health problems mentioned above are even more likely to die from the disease. Although there are drugs to treat these infections, they are not always effective. This makes prevention of the disease through vaccination even more important.
This study will look at the body's response to influenza and pneumococcal vaccination. We want to see how well they it will protect. Immunization is the same as vaccination. Our goal is to protect as much as we can. We are doing the study because more information is needed to see how well older patients with cancer respond to these vaccines and how well they protect against disease caused by influenza and pneumococcus.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient must be > or = to 65 years of age.
- Patient may be an in patient or an out-patient.

- Prior history of any life-threatening reaction after previous administration of any influenza vaccine or any component such as thimerosal (inclusion of thimerosal varies among packaging)
- Latex allergy if going to receive the influenza vaccine
- On-going neurologic disorder (mental status change, uncontrolled seizures, encephalopathy)
- Treatment or planned treatment with cyclophosphamide, ifosphamide, or > or = to 1 mg/kg prednisone or its equivalent 12 weeks within 12 weeks of vaccination.
- HIV-1,2 seropositive patients.
- Patients not signing informed consent.
- Patients receiving the seasonal influenza vaccine may not have had it within 6 months of enrollment
Healthy controls exclusion:
- Volunteers ineligible to receive either vaccine
- Volunteers unwilling or unable to sign consent
- Hypersensitivity to egg protein (eggs or egg products), chicken proteins, or any component in the influenza vaccine
- Latex allergy

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: 1,
Patients > or = to 65 years of age with a diagnosis of prostate, lung, and/or breast cancer will be immunized with the inactivated influenza vaccine (0.5 ml intramuscularly) and/or the 23 valent pneumococcal vaccine (0.5 ml subcutaneously or intramuscularly).
|
Patients >65 years of age with a diagnosis of prostate, lung, and/or breast cancer will be immunized with the inactivated influenza vaccine (0.5 ml intramuscularly) and/or the 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine (0.5 ml subcutaneously or intramuscularly).
Prior to vaccination, titers against influenza and pneumococcus will be measured, as will serum IgG levels and IgG subtypes.
At 8-16 weeks after vaccination, post vaccine titers, CBC, lymphoid phenotype and function will be assessed.
|
Experimental: 2
MSKCC employee volunteer controls > or = to 65 years of age without a cancer diagnosis will be immunized with the inactivated influenza vaccine (0.5 ml intramuscularly) and/or PPV23 vaccine (Pneumovax), (0.5 ml subcutaneously or intramuscularly).
|
MSKCC employee volunteer controls > or = to 65 years of age without a cancer diagnosis will be immunized with the inactivated influenza vaccine (0.5 ml intramuscularly)and/or PPV23 vaccine (Pneumovax), (0.5 ml subcutaneously or intramuscularly).
Prior to vaccination, titers against influenza and pneumococcus will be measured.
At approximately 8-16 weeks after vaccination, post vaccine titers will be measured again.
