Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose is to investigate B-cell response to the trivalent Influenza Vaccine (TIV) in healthy young adults by vaccinating participants and obtaining blood samples at designated time points before and after vaccination.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an exploratory study using a strategy that has not been previously employed to investigate B-cell responses. Investigators will collect blood samples from the volunteers at a higher frequency than in the two previous flu seasons to better define the dynamic response to vaccination. The objective is to compare the Ig gene repertoire before and after vaccination by deep sequencing PBMC and proteomic analysis of antibody CDR3 regions at 10 different time points before and after immunization.

This is a Phase IV study of healthy adults who are given standard TIV off-season. There are no exclusions for gender, ethnicity or race. Following confirmation of written informed consent, baseline blood samples will be drawn from all study participants at Day -5, Day -3 and Day 0 prior to immunization, and at Days 1, 4, 7, 9, 11, 28 and 180 post-immunization. Volunteers will be vaccine-naïve for the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasonal influenza vaccines. All participants will receive a single dose of the current seasonal influenza vaccine by intramuscular (IM) injection at Day 0.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Otherwise healthy, 18-30 year old young adult.
2. Availability for follow-up for the planned duration of the study at least 180 days after immunization.
3. Acceptable medical history by medical history and vital signs.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Prior vaccination with 2010-2011 seasonal TIV or LAIV.
2. Prior off-study vaccination with the current 2011-2012 seasonal TIV or LAIV
3. Weight less than 110 pounds.
4. Allergy to egg or egg products, or to vaccine components, including gelatin or thimerosal (thimerosal in TIV multidose vials only).
5. Life-threatening reactions to previous influenza vaccinations
6. Active systemic or serious concurrent illness, including febrile illness on the day of vaccination
7. History of immunodeficiency (including HIV infection)
8. Known or suspected impairment of immunologic function, including, but not limited to, clinically significant liver disease, diabetes mellitus treated with insulin, moderate to severe renal disease, or any other chronic disorder which, in the opinion of the investigator, might jeopardize volunteer safety or compliance with the protocol.
9. Blood pressure \>150 systolic or \>95 diastolic at first study visit
10. Hospitalization in the past year for congestive heart failure or emphysema.
11. Chronic Hepatitis B or C.
12. Recent or current use of immunosuppressive medication, including systemic glucocorticoids. Corticosteroid nasal sprays and topical steroids are permissible.
13. Malignancy, other than squamous cell or basal cell skin cancer (includes solid tumors such as breast cancer or prostate cancer with recurrence in the past year, and any hematologic cancer such as leukemia).
14. Autoimmune disease (including rheumatoid arthritis treated with immunosuppressive medication such as Plaquenil, methotrexate, prednisone, Enbrel) which, in the opinion of the investigator, might jeopardize volunteer safety or compliance with the protocol.
15. History of blood dyscrasias, renal disease, or hemoglobinopathies requiring regular medical follow up or hospitalization during the preceding year.
16. Use of any anti-coagulation medication such as Coumadin or Lovenox, or anti-platelet agents such as aspirin (except up to 325 mg. per day), Plavix, or Aggrenox must be reviewed by investigator to determine if this would affect the volunteer's safety.
17. Receipt of blood or blood products within the past 6 months.
18. Medical or psychiatric condition or occupational responsibilities that preclude participant compliance with the protocol
19. Receipt of inactivated vaccine 14 days prior to study enrollment, planned vaccinations prior to completion of Visit 09 (Day 28 after study vaccination), or planned vaccination 14 days prior to Visit 10 (6 months after study vaccination).
20. Receipt of live, attenuated vaccine 60 days prior to study enrollment, planned vaccination prior to completion of Visit 09 (Day 28 after study vaccination), or planned vaccination 14 days prior to Visit 10 (6 months after study vaccination).
21. History of Guillain-Barré Syndrome
22. Pregnant or lactating woman
23. Use of investigational agents within 30 days prior to study enrollment or planned use during the study period.
24. Donation of the equivalent of a unit of blood within 6 weeks prior to study enrollment, or during the first 5 weeks of study participation.
25. A member of the study team or their family member, to include investigators, research laboratory staff, clinical research staff.
26. Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with volunteer safety, study objectives or the ability of the participant to understand or comply with the study protocol.
