Immunogenicity and Safety Study of Inactivated Subunit H5N1 Influenza Vaccine in Prior Recipients of Live Attenuated H2N2, H6N1 and H9N2 Influenza Vaccines and in H5N1 and Live Attenuated Vaccine Naïve Individuals
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of inactivated subunit H5N1 influenza vaccine in individuals who have previously received live attenuated H2N2, H6N1, or H9N2 influenza vaccine, as well as in individuals who have never previously received H5N1 or other pandemic live attenuated influenza vaccines.

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
This study will evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of inactivated subunit H5N1 influenza vaccine in individuals who have previously received live attenuated H2N2, H6N1, or H9N2 influenza vaccine, as well as in individuals who have never previously received H5N1 or other pandemic live attenuated influenza vaccines (pLAIVs).
Participants will be enrolled in two cohorts. Cohort 1 will include participants who received two doses of live attenuated H2N2, H6N1, or H9N2 influenza vaccine during a prior Center for Immunization Research (CIR) study; Cohort 2 will include participants who have never previously received a pLAIV. Participants in both cohorts will receive one dose of H5N1 pISV vaccine by injection at Day 0.
Participants will attend study visits on Days 0, 7, 14, 28, 56, 90, and 360. Study visits may include a physical examination, medical history, and blood and urine collection. All participants will be followed for approximately 360 days after receiving the H5N1 pISV vaccine.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Cohort 1: pLAIV Recipients Participants who have received the pandemic live attenuated influenza vaccines (pLAIVs) H2N2, H6N1, or H9N2 during a previous CIR study will receive a single dose of 0.5 mL H5N1 pISV vaccine at Day 0. |
Biological: H5N1 pISV
Administered as an intramuscular (IM) injection
|
| Experimental: Cohort 2: pLAIV Naive Participants who have never previously received a pLAIV will receive one dose of 0.5 mL H5N1 pISV vaccine at Day 0. |
Biological: H5N1 pISV
Administered as an intramuscular (IM) injection

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Fold rise in titer of anti-group 1 stalk-antibodies in recipients of the pandemic live attenuated influenza vaccines (pLAIVs) (H2N2, H6N1 and H9N2) compared to the control pLAIV-naïve cohort [Measured through Day 360]
As measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and microneutralization assay (MN) using the chimeric cH6/N1 probe
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of vaccine-related adverse events in the recipients of the pLAIV compared to the control cohort [Measured through Day 90]
Graded according to the Division of AIDS (DAIDS) Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events, Version 2.1, March 2017

-
Female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to have used effective birth control methods beginning at least one month prior to vaccination, and continuing with 'per label/fully effective use' for the chosen method for duration of the study, from amongst these:

-
All females must provide urine for pregnancy testing prior to enrollment (immediately prior vaccination), as well as a statement of menstrual history and a summary of all potentially reproductive sexual activity for the month prior to vaccination, and at each study contact throughout the study, and report known or suspected pregnancy immediately.
-
Willingness to refrain from blood donation during the course of the study.
Exclusion Criteria:

-
Currently breast-feeding.
-
Evidence of clinically significant neurologic, cardiac, pulmonary, hematologic, hepatic, rheumatologic, autoimmune, or renal disease by history, physical examination, and/or laboratory studies.
-

-
Have medical, occupational, or family problems as a result of alcohol or illicit drug use during the past 12 months.
-
Other condition that in the opinion of the investigator would jeopardize the safety or rights of a subject participating in the trial or would render the subject unable to comply with the protocol.
