Trial Outcomes & Findings for Risk of Narcolepsy Associated With Administration of H1N1 Vaccine (NCT NCT01394614)

NCT ID: NCT01394614

Last Updated: 2015-05-14

Results Overview

Incidence rates will be computed by comparing narcolepsy incidence rates in exposed and non-exposed subjects. Comparison of narcolepsy incidence rates in the period prior to vaccine administration and pseudo-vaccine administration will be used to test the comparability of exposed and non-exposed group.

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Target enrollment

24 participants

Primary outcome timeframe

Narcolepsy onset during the 16-week post-vaccination period.
