Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Prospective Study to Evaluate the Safety of a New Monovalent Intranasal Influenza Vaccine (NCT NCT00873912)

NCT ID: NCT00873912

Last Updated: 2011-07-14

Results Overview

The percentage of subjects with fever was compared between the two treatment groups based on the upper limit of the two-sided 95% exact confidence interval (CI) for the rate difference (monovalent vaccine minus placebo). The upper limit of the two-sided 95% CI was evaluated against the pre-specified equivalence criterion of 5 percentage points which corresponded to the following hypotheses: - H0 (null): rate difference ≥ 5 percentage points, - HA (alternative): rate difference \< 5 percentage points.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Days 1-8 after vaccination

Population: The Safety Population includes all subjects who received at least one dose of investigational product and experienced any follow-up for safety. Treatment group was assigned based on the actual investigational product received.

The percentage of subjects with fever was compared between the two treatment groups based on the upper limit of the two-sided 95% exact confidence interval (CI) for the rate difference (monovalent vaccine minus placebo). The upper limit of the two-sided 95% CI was evaluated against the pre-specified equivalence criterion of 5 percentage points which corresponded to the following hypotheses: - H0 (null): rate difference ≥ 5 percentage points, - HA (alternative): rate difference \< 5 percentage points.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Days 1-29 after vaccination

Population: The Safety Population includes all subjects who received at least one dose of investigational product and experienced any follow-up for safety. Treatment group was assigned based on the actual investigational product received.

SAEs were those that resulted in death; were life-threatening; resulted in inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity; were a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study participant; or were an important medical event that may have jeopardized the subject and may have required medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. An NOCD was a newly diagnosed medical condition of a chronic, ongoing nature and assessed by the investigator as medically significant.
