History of Changes
  Purpose

The safety and immunogenicity of high dose influenza vaccine has not been studied in young patients receiving chemotherapy. This study will evaluate and compare the immunogenicity and safety of high dose influenza to standard dose influenza vaccine in adult oncology patients who are younger than 65 years old receiving chemotherapy.


Condition Intervention Phase
Cancer
Influenza Viral Infections
 Biological: Standard Trivalent Influenza Vaccine
Biological: High-Dose Influenza Vaccine
 Phase 2

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver)
Primary Purpose: Prevention

Further study details as provided by Rochester General Hospital:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of high-dose influenza vaccine vs the standard trivalent influenza vaccine in adult subjects on chemotherapy who are less than 65 years old. [ Time Frame: 28 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Measure Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) before and after vaccination at day 28.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • The seroprotection rate of high-dose influenza vaccine vs standard trivalent influenza vaccine in adult subjects on chemotherapy less than 65 years old. [ Time Frame: 28 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • The seroconversion rate of high-dose influenza vaccine versus standard trivalent influenza vaccine in adult subjects on chemotherapy less than 65 years old. [ Time Frame: 28 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Evaluate and compare the local and systemic adverse events to both vaccines. [ Time Frame: 28 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment: 120
