A Study to Evaluate the Safety of FluMist in Healthy Children and Healthy Adults

Completed
Conditions
Healthy
Interventions
Biological: FluMist
Registration Number
NCT00113880
Lead Sponsor
MedImmune LLC
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to expand the data describing the safety profile of FluMist in the indicated populations (5-8, 9-17, and 18-49 years of age) and to assess the safety of annual revaccination in those who received FluMist in 2 or more consecutive years.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study was to assess the safety of FluMist vaccination by comparing the rates of medically attended events (MAEs) (including serious adverse events \[SAEs\], anaphylaxis, urticaria, asthma, wheezing, pre-specified grouped diagnoses, and rare events potentially related to wild-type influenza) in FluMist recipients to rates in multiple non-randomized control groups.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rates of Medically Attended Events (MAEs) Associated With a Significant Increased Risk in FluMist Recipients Compared to Rates in Within Cohort, Unvaccinated, and TIV Control Groups21 and 42 days

An MAE was defined as a coded medical diagnosis made by a health care provider and associated with a medical encounter (ie, a visit by a health plan member to a medical clinic or ED, or a hospital admission). Incident rate comparisons of MAEs with an identified increased risk associated with FluMist occurring in the same age group and setting across all three comparison groups, as these events are less likely to be due to chance alone.

Rates of MAEs Associated With a Significant Decreased Risk in FluMist Group Compared to Rates in Within Cohort, Unvaccinated, and TIV Control Groups21 and 42 days

Incident rate comparisons of MAEs with an identified decreased risk associated with FluMist occuring in the same age group and setting across all three comparison groups, as these events are less likely to be due to chance alone. All terms were analyzed for the entire population regardless of gender.

Rates of Anaphylaxis and Urticaria in FluMist Recipients Compared to Rates in Within Cohort, Unvaccinated, and TIV Control Groups3 days

Incident rate comparisons associated with a significantly increased risk in FluMist recipients compared to the within cohort control group for urticaria; there was no increased risk compared to the unvaccinated and TIV control groups and there were no anaphylaxis events that occurred within the 3-day risk period post vaccination.

Rates of MAEs Within the Pre-specified Grouped Diagnoses In The FluMist Group Compared to Rates in Within Cohort, Unvaccinated, and TIV Control Groups.21 and 42 days

There were no acute respiratory tract events, acute gastrointestinal tract events, or systemic bacterial infections with an identified increased or decreased risk associated with FluMist occuring in the same age group and setting across all three comparison groups.

Rates of Asthma and Wheezing Within 21 and 42 Days in FluMist Recipients Compared to Rates in the Within Cohort and Unvaccinated Control Groups21 and 42 days

Incident rate comparisons associated with a significantly decreased risk in FluMist recipients compared to the within cohort control observed for all ages and 5-8 years of age within 21 days and compared to the unvaccinated control obseved for 18-49 years of age within 42 days. No asthma and wheezing incidence rate comparisons were significantly increased in FluMist recipients compared to the within cohort or unvaccinated control groups.

Rates of Asthma and Wheezing Within 21 and 42 Days in FluMist Recipients Compared to Rates in the TIV Control Group21 and 42 days

Incident rate comparisons associated with a significantly decreased risk in FluMist recipients compared to the TIV control group for all ages, 5-8, 9-17, and 18-49 years of age. No asthma and wheezing incidence rate comparisons were significantly increased in FluMist recipients compared to the TIV control group.

Rates of Asthma and Wheezing Within 180 Days in FluMist Recipients Compared to Rates in the Unvaccinated Control Group180 days

Incident rate comparisons associated with a significantly decreased risk in FluMist recipients compared to the unvaccinated control group for all ages, 5-8, and 9-17 years of age. No asthma and wheezing incidence rate comparisons were significantly increased in FluMist recipients compared to the unvaccinated control group.

Rates of Asthma and Wheezing Within 180 Days in FluMist Recipients Compared to Rates in the TIV Control Group180 days

Incident rate comparisons associated with a significantly decreased risk in FluMist recipients compared to the TIV control group for all ages, 5-8, 9-17, and 18-49 years of age. No asthma and wheezing incidence rate comparisons were significantly increased in FluMist recipients compared to the TIV control group.

Rare Events Potentially Related to Wild-type Influenza in FluMist Recipients Compared to TIV and Unvaccinated Control Groups21 and 42 days

Incident rate comparisons associated with a significantly decreased risk in FluMist recipients compared to TIV controls; there was no significantly decreased risk compared to the within cohort and unvaccinated controls. No MAEs potentially related to wild-type influenza were associated with a significantly increased risk in FluMist recipients.

Rates of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) in FluMist Recipients Compared to Rates in Unvaccinated Control Group21 and 42 days

Incident rate comparisons of SAEs with an identified decreased risk associated with FluMist compared to unvaccinated controls; no decreased risk was observed in compariosn to the within cohort control. There were no SAE incidence rate comparisons that were significantly increased in FluMist recipients.

Rates of SAEs in FluMist Recipients Compared to Rates in TIV Controls21 and 42 days
