A Trial to Assess the Immunogenicity and Safety of the Trivalent Virosomal Influenza Vaccine, Formulation of 2012-2013, in Healthy Subjects Aged Over 3 Years Old to 18 Years Old

Plain-language summary
This is an open study of the use of AdimFlu-V (2012-2013 season) vaccine in young healthy subjects. Subjects aged equal to or over 9 years old and less than 18 years old will receive one dose of vaccine (0.5 mL) by intramuscular injection into the upper arm. Subjects aged equal to or over 3 years old and less than 9 years old will received two doses of vaccine (0.5 mL) by intramuscular injection into the upper arm separated by 4 weeks (28 days). Safety outcomes included immediate reactions at the time of vaccination, solicited local and systemic reactions within 7 days after each vaccination, unsolicited adverse events observed since first vaccination to 28 days after the last dose of vaccination, and serious adverse events during the observation. Sera prepared from blood samples will be collected from each subject immediately prior to, and 4 weeks after each vaccination. Anti-hemagglutinin (HA) antibody titers will be determined using the WHO hemagglutination inhibition reference technique. The central laboratory who is responsible for antibody titrations will not be aware of the background of blood samples (e.g., pre- or post-serum), it is also called observer-blinded. All subjects will be followed, either by clinical visit or by telephone contact, for 8 weeks after the last vaccination for safety reasons.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
The primary objective is to evaluate the immunogenicity profiles for influenza virus vaccine strains (2012-2013 season) of the AdimFlu-V.
Timeframe: Change from baseline for anti-hemaglutinin (HA) antibodies by hemagglutinaton inhibition (HAI) at 28 days post immunization
. History of hypersensitivity to eggs or hen's protein, polymyxin B, or neomycin, or similar pharmacological effects to study vaccine;
. Personal or family history of Guillain-Barré Syndrome;
. An acute febrile illness within 1 week prior to vaccination;
. Current upper respiratory illness, including the common cold or nasal congestion within 72 hours;
. Subjects with influenza-like illness as defined by the presence of fever (temperature ≥ 38°C) and at least two of the following four symptoms: headache, muscle/joint aches and pains (e.g. myalgia/arthralgia), sore throat and cough;
. Female subjects who are pregnant, lactating or likely to become pregnant during the study; women of childbearing potential disagree to use an acceptable method of contraception (e.g., hormonal contraceptives, IUD, barrier device or abstinence) throughout the study;
. Treatment with an investigational drug or device, or participation in a clinical study, within 3 months before study vaccination;
