Rapid Evaluation of Pandemic H1N1 Influenza Vaccine in Adults Receiving Seasonal Influenza Vaccine

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Influenza
H1N1 2009 Influenza
Registration Number
NCT01000584
Lead Sponsor
David Scheifele
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness (immune response) to a licensed H1N12009 influenza vaccine in adults when given at the same time or prior to the seasonal influenza vaccine. The study will enroll 300 adults (ages 20-59 years). Participants will be randomized into 2 groups. One group will receive one dose of a licensed H1N1 vaccine and one dose of the seasonal influenza vaccine at the same time; the second group will receive the seasonal influenza vaccine 3 weeks after receiving the licensed H1N12009 influenza vaccine. Study procedures include: medical history, blood samples and completing a memory aid. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for approximately 3-6 weeks depending upon the group assignment.

Detailed Description

The objectives of this study are two-fold:

1. To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of H1N12009 influenza vaccine in a convenience sample of adults, soon after the pandemic vaccine becomes available so as to inform the subsequent use of vaccine in public programs.

2. To evaluate the compatibility of co-administered H1N12009 pandemic vaccine and seasonal TIV vaccine in the same group of subjects, as the option of co-administration would be useful for public programs.
