简要总结
This study evaluates the effectiveness of the seasonal flu vaccine in adults of different ages and diabetic disease statuses. These studies will help our understanding of how chronic inflammatory diseases impact immunologic function and future research on mitigation strategies.
详细描述
Our goal is to determine if an individual's level of inflammation determines their response to vaccination. The aging process and certain diseases, like type-2 diabetes, have been characterized as chronic inflammatory conditions. These individuals have higher rates of influenza disease and health care costs; hence, yearly vaccination is recommended. There is a paucity of information comparing vaccination in these high-risk groups and identifying biomarkers that can predict vaccine efficacy. The investigators hypothesize that elderly and diabetic patients have reduced responses to seasonal influenza vaccination that are inversely proportional to their level of chronic inflammation. In this pilot proposal, the investigators will examine adult and elderly diabetic and non-diabetic adults for markers of inflammation and vaccine efficacy before and after influenza vaccination. These studies will help our understanding of how chronic inflammatory diseases impact immunologic function and future research on mitigation strategies.

- •Group 1: Must be 18-64 years of age, are medically stable and ambulatory; have no active systemic or serious concurrent illness; have no history of immunodeficiency or weakened immunologic function; do not have diabetes; and do not have chronic HIV or hepatitis B or C infection.
- •Group 2: Must be ≥65 years of age, are medically stable and ambulatory; have no active systemic or serious concurrent illness; have no history of immunodeficiency or weakened immunologic function; do not have diabetes; and do not have chronic HIV or hepatitis B or C infection.
- •Group 3: Must be between 18-64 years of age, are currently diabetic, and meet the criteria listed above for not diabetic subjects in Group 1, with the exception of having pre-diagnosed type-2 diabetes mellitus (e.g., a history of hemoglobin A1C or HbA1C scores of > 6.5%).

排除标准
- •a history of sensitivity to any of the vaccine components or to influenza vaccine
- •a history of Guillain-Barré syndrome
- •a history of known or suspected impairment of immunologic function outside of criteria described in the inclusion criteria, including clinically significant liver disease, arthritis, moderate to severe renal (kidney) disease, and ongoing infections
- •a history of a bleeding disorder or received anticoagulants within the last 3 weeks
- •received the influenza vaccine in the past 6 months or any other vaccines within the last 3 months
- •received immunosuppressive therapy within the last 6 months
- •received long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy for more than 2 consecutive weeks within 3 months
- •received blood or blood-derived products within the last 3 months
- •a daily aspirin intake of >81mg
- •a blood pressure >150/95 at screening
- •Year 2 Inclusion Criteria:
- •Group 1: They are between 18-64 years of age, are medically stable and ambulatory; have no active systemic or serious concurrent illness; do not have diabetes.
- •Group 2: They are ≥65 years of age, are medically stable and ambulatory; have no active systemic or serious concurrent illness; do not have diabetes.

- •a history of known or suspected impairment of immunologic function, including clinically significant liver disease, arthritis, moderate to severe renal (kidney) disease, HIV, and ongoing infections
- •a history of a bleeding disorder or received anticoagulants within the last 3 weeks
- •a history of heart failure
- •a history of receiving immunosuppressive therapy within the last 6 months

- •a history of receiving blood or blood-derived products within the last 3 months
- •a daily aspirin intake of >325mg
- •are pregnant
- •There are no inclusion/exclusion criteria based on race. Each group will have a targeted enrollment of 50% female to male ratio. Women cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding. There will be no children involved in this study.
