Phase II Study to Investigate the Kinetics of the Immune Response Generated by Influenza Virus Vaccine.

A Randomized, Open-Label, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Investigate the Kinetics of the Immune Responses Elicited by a Liquid Formulation of Influenza Virus Vaccine, Trivalent,Types A & B, Live, Cold-Adapted (CAIV-T) in Healthy Adults Aged 18 to <65 Years.

Summary

The primary objective of this study was to perform a variety of assays on blood, serum, nasal wash and cell samples obtained from healthy adult subjects for the purposes of developing assays for application in the further investigation of immune responses generated by influenza virus vaccine, trivalent, types A \& B, live, cold-adapted (liquid formulation CAIV-T; Wyeth, Marietta, PA).

Detailed description

This was a randomized, open-label, placebo-controlled, outpatient study carried out in healthy adults 18 to \< 65 years of age. The study was designed to evaluate the kinetics of the immune responses generated by each of the study products in order to determine the best sampling time for future studies. Subjects were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive a single dose of either CAIV-T, inactivated influenza virus vaccine (TIV), or placebo.

Conditions

• Influenza

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BIOLOGICAL	CAIV-T	Liquid CAIV-T vaccine for this study consisted of three cold-adapted, attenuated, reassortant strains representing the hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) antigens of the A/New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1), A/Panama/2007/99 (H3N2) and B/Yamanashi/166/98 influenza virus strains. The reassortant vaccine strains were grown in specific pathogen-free (SPF) eggs and the allantoic fluid, which contained virus, was harvested, concentrated and purified. Each dose of CAIV-T used in this study was formulated to contain approximately 107 FFU of each of the 6:2 influenza reassortant vaccine strains.
BIOLOGICAL	TIV	TIV in this study consisted of Flushield™, manufactured by Wyeth Vaccines, Marietta, PA, USA. Each 0.5 mL dose contained no less than 15 ug of the hemagglutinin antigens from each of the A/New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1), A/Panama/2007/99 (H3N2), and B/Yamanashi/166/98 strains, making TIV in this study antigenically matched to the influenza strains contained in CAIV-T.
BIOLOGICAL	Placebo	Placebo in this study consisted of physiological saline. The total volume of 0.2 mL was administered intranasally with a spray applicator (approximately 0.1 mL into each nostril).
