Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety of LAIV4 in Children With Asthma (NCT NCT03600428)

NCT ID: NCT03600428

Last Updated: 2021-03-16

Results Overview

For this study, asthma exacerbation will be defined as: any acute episode of progressively worsening shortness of breath (dyspnea), cough, wheezing, chest tightness, and/or respiratory distress during the 42 days (until day 43) after influenza vaccination for which the patient seeks unscheduled medical attention (e.g., healthcare provider office or Emergency Department visit or hospitalization) or receives a new prescription for systemic corticosteroids.
