Comparative Study of Influenza Vaccines in Adults, FLUVACS-year 4

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Influenza
Interventions
Biological: Fluzone
Biological: Flumist
Other: Physiologic saline
Registration Number
NCT00538512
Lead Sponsor
University of Michigan
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the absolute (versus placebo) and relative (one vaccine compared to the other) efficacies of the live attenuated and inactivated influenza vaccines in preventing laboratory confirmed symptomatic influenza caused by circulating strains whether similar or dissimilar to strains included in the vaccines.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Laboratory-confirmed (Culture and/or PCR) Symptomatic Influenzaone influenza season - 2007-2008
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Measure Immune Response Induced by the Vaccines and Identify Serologic Correlates of Immune ProtectionTime between prevaccination visit and postvaccination visit; typically about 30 days.

Measure immune response induced by the vaccines. Response was defined as greater than or equal to 4 fold rise in antibody titers measured by hemagglutination inhibition (HAI), microneutralization (MN), or neuraminidase inhibition (NAI) assays between sera collected at the prevaccination visit and those collected at the postvaccination visit.

Immune Response to Vaccination and InfectionPostvaccination to postseason visit; typically about 3 months.

Response was defined as greater than or equal to 4 fold rise in antibody titers measured by hemagglutination inhibition (HAI), microneutralization (MN), or neuraminidase inhibition (NAI) assays between sera collected at the postvaccination visit and those collected at the postseason visit.

Identify Serologic Correlates of Immune Protection. Suggest Changing to: Number of Participants Demonstrating Postvaccination Seroconversion.Time between prevaccination and postvaccination, typically about 30 days.

Identify serologic correlates of immune protection. Seroconversion is defined as either prevaccination titer of less than 8 and postvaccination titer of greater than or equal to 32 or prevaccination titer of greater than or equal to 8 and greater than or equal to 4 fold rise in strain specific hemagglutination-inhibition (HAI) antibody titer between prevaccination and postvaccination sera. Data is shown separately for cases (subjects with symptomatic influenza A laboratory confirmed by isolation in cell culture or identification in real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay) and non-cases (subjects without cell culture, real time PCR or serologic evidence of influenza infection).
