Randomized Study of Immune Response to Licensed Influenza Vaccines in Children and Adolescents

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Immune Response to Influenza Vaccine
Influenza A Virus Infection
Influenza B Virus Infection
Interventions
Biological: LAIV
Biological: IIV
Registration Number
NCT02250274
Lead Sponsor
Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the serologic and cell-mediated immune response to licensed live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) and inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) in children 5-17 years old. The effects of prior infection and or prior season vaccination will be examined. Children will be followed during the influenza season to identify laboratory-confirmed influenza (i.e. vaccine failure).

Detailed Description

All children will have baseline blood samples drawn and will then be vaccinated with licensed and approved influenza vaccines. Following the recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, children 5-8 years old will preferentially receive live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV). Children aged 9-17 will be randomized to receive either LAIV or inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV). Children with a medical contraindication to any licensed influenza vaccine will be excluded from the study.

The children will have their blood drawn between 2 and 4 times total over the course of two months in order to test their immune response to the vaccine. Between approximately December and April, study participants will be contacted weekly to monitor for any new respiratory illnesses with cough, and if present, nasal and throat swabs will be collected to test for influenza.

LAIV 2014-15LAIVWill receive LAIV this year. Includes 5-8 year olds and approximately half of the 9-17 year olds. Prior history includes vaccine failures, vaccinated/uninfected and unvaccinated/uninfected last year. PBMC available for those who were infected last year, all ages.
IIV 2014-15IIVWill receive IIV this year. Includes only 9-17 year olds (unless shortages of LAIV encountered). Prior history includes vaccine failures, vaccinated/uninfected and unvaccinated/uninfected last year. PBMC available for those who were infected last year, only 9-17 year olds.
