研究概览
简要总结
This pilot clinical trial studies trivalent influenza vaccine in preventing flu in patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Flu vaccine may help the body build an effective immune response and help prevent flu in patients who are receiving chemotherapy for CNS tumors
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. The primary objective of this pilot study is to assess the efficacy of influenza vaccination in patients with central nervous system tumors as defined by a four-fold increase in hemagglutinin inhibition (HI) titers from the pre-vaccination baseline.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. A secondary objective of this pilot study is to assess the efficacy of influenza vaccination in patients with central nervous system tumors as defined by a serum post-vaccination HI titer of at least 1:40.
II. The secondary objectives of this pilot study include an assessment of the relationship between a variety of clinical factors and seroconversion following influenza vaccination.

- •Patients must be eligible to receive the influenza vaccine
- •Patients must be able to provide written informed consent
排除标准
- •Patients unable to receive the influenza vaccine due to history of allergy to egg proteins, allergy to influenza vaccine component, acute febrile illness at the time of proposed vaccine administration, history of clinically or virologically confirmed influenza infection in the previous 6 months, contraindication to intramuscular injections, Guillan-Barré syndrome, or other contraindication to the vaccine

结局指标
主要结局
Efficacy of influenza vaccination in patients with central nervous system tumors as defined by a four-fold increase in HI titers from the pre-vaccination baseline
时间窗: 6 months
Seroconversion rate will be defined as the percentage of patients with at least a four-fold increase in HI antibodies between baseline and follow up. Seroprotection rate will be defined as the percentage of patients with a serum HI antibody of at least 1:40. The relationship between seroconversion and various clinical variables including therapy status (active vs longterm follow-up), glucorticoid dose and immune function will be measured. Seroconversion and seroprotection rate comparisons will be made to publish normative data for the general population.
次要结局
- Efficacy of influenza vaccination in patients with central nervous system tumors as defined by a serum post-vaccination HI titer of at least 1:40(6 months)
- Relationship between a variety of clinical factors and seroconversion following influenza vaccination(6 months)
- Relationship between serologic markers of immune function and response to vaccination(6 months)
