Clinical study to evaluate the immune response and safety of four valent flu vaccine manufactured by Cadila Healthcare Ltd. in healthy children aged 6 months to 17 years
- Conditions
- Active immunization for the prevention of influenzaEncounter for immunization,
- Registration Number
- CTRI/2017/08/009204
- Lead Sponsor
- Cadila Healthcare Ltd
- Brief Summary
This is a randomized, single blind, parallel group, multicentre phase III clinical trial to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Inactivated Tetravalent Influenza vaccine (split virion) of M/s Cadila Healthcare Limited compared to Vaxigrip (Influenza vaccine (Split Virion, Inactivated) Manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur SA, (France)) in healthy children. Three hundred and four subjects will be randomized to receive either Inactivated Tetravalent Influenza vaccine (split virion) of M/s Cadila Healthcare Limited or Vaxigrip (Influenza vaccine (Split Virion, Inactivated) Manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur SA, (France)) according to the centralized computer generated randomization plan. The enrolled subjects will be divided into three cohorts: Cohort 1 (9 to 17 years), Cohort 2 (3 to 8 years) and Cohort 3 (6 to 35 months). Subjects in Cohort 1 (9 to 17 years) will receive a single dose of Inactivated Influenza vaccine at the baseline visitas per their allocated study group and will be followed up on visit 2 (day 14), visit 3 (day 28, immunogenicity assessment) and visit 4 (day 42, end of study). Subjects in Cohort 2 (3 to 8 years) and Cohort 3 (6 to 35 months) will receive two doses of Inactivated Influenza vaccine at baseline visit and visit 3 (28 days after first vaccination) as per their allocated study group and will be followed on visit 2 (day 14), visit 4 (14 days after second vaccination), visit 5 (28 days after second vaccination,
immunological assessment) and visit 6 (42 days after second vaccination). A pre vaccination and a post vaccination (day 28 after last dose) blood sample will be collected to determine antibody titres attained after vaccination using haemaglutination inhibition assay against the vaccine strains of A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Victoria and B/Yamagata. Assessment of vaccine shall be based on the serologic criteria set by the USFDA for licensure of seasonal inactivated Influenza vaccines in pediatric population. The end points for the study are Seroconversion rate, Seroprotection rate and Geometric Mean Titres for all the four viral strains in the two groups, 28 days after last vaccination. The safety of the vaccine will be assessed by recording the adverse events occurring during the entire course of the study
