NCT01674205

Brief Summary

This study seeks to understand the host factors that affect the replication and immune response of seasonal and candidate pandemic live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) in humans and to develop biomarkers that can predict the viral shedding and immune response to LAIVs.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Area under the curve (AUC) of nasal virus shedding after vaccine dose as assessed by liquid titration of nasal secretions on Madin Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells

    Measured through Day 9

  • Development of serum antibody as assessed by either HAI or microneutralization (MN) assays

    Measured through Day 56

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Development of a significant increase in nasal secretion hemagglutinin (HA)-specific antibody assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

    Measured through Day 56

  • Detection of influenza-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) or immunoglobulin A (IgA) secreting B cells assessed by antibody secreting cells (ASC) assay

    Measured at Day 7

  • Development of greater than 200 influenza-specific interferon-gamma-secreting cells per million lymphocytes as assessed by enzyme-linked immunospot assay (ELISPOT)

    Measured at Day 28

Study Arms (4)

Group 1 (Inpatient, H2N3 MO 2006/AA ca)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive one dose of vaccine on Day 0, with 0.2 mL being delivered by Accuspray device (0.1 mL per nostril).

Biological: A/swine/Missouri/4296424/2006 (H2N3) x A/Ann Arbor/6/60 ca (H2N3 MO 2006/AA ca)

Group 2 (Inpatient, H9N2 G9/AA ca)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive one dose of vaccine on Day 0, with 0.5 mL being delivered as nose drops (0.25 mL per nostril) using a sterile, needle-less tuberculin syringe.

Biological: A/chicken/Hong Kong/G9/97 (H9N2) x A/Ann Arbor/6/60 ca (H9N2 G9/AA ca)

Group 3 (Outpatient, seasonal LAIV [FluMist®])

EXPERIMENTAL

2012-2013 trivalent seasonal live attenuated influenza vaccine (FluMist®)

Biological: 2012-2013 trivalent seasonal live attenuated influenza vaccine (FluMist®)

Group 4 (Both inpatient and outpatient, placebo)

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Participants will receive either the L-15 placebo delivered by nose drops or the FluMist® placebo delivered as a nasal spray.

Biological: Vaccine placebo (Leibovitz-15 [L-15])Biological: Vaccine placebo (FluMist®)

Interventions

Group 3 (Outpatient, seasonal LAIV [FluMist®])
Group 4 (Both inpatient and outpatient, placebo)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 42 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • General good health, without significant medical illness, physical examination findings, or significant laboratory abnormalities as determined by the investigator
  • Agree to storage of blood specimens for future research
  • Available for the duration of the trial. For the inpatient component of the study, participants must be willing and able to remain within the Isolation Unit for the specified duration of confinement. For the outpatient component of the study, participants must be willing and able to make daily outpatient follow-up visits as specified by the protocol.
  • Willingness to participate in the study as evidenced by signing the informed consent document
  • Female participants must agree to use effective birth control methods for the duration of the study (for example, pharmacologic contraceptives including oral, parenteral, and transcutaneous delivery; condoms with spermicide; diaphragm with spermicide; intrauterine device; abstinence from heterosexual intercourse; or surgical sterilization). All female participants will be considered being of child-bearing potential except those who have undergone hysterectomy and those in whom menopause occurred at least 1 year prior to the study.

You may not qualify if:

  • Pregnancy as determined by a positive human choriogonadotropin (beta-HCG) test
  • Currently breastfeeding
  • Behavioral or cognitive impairment or psychiatric disease that in the opinion of the investigator affects the ability of the subject to understand and cooperate with the study protocol
  • Previous enrollment in an H2 or H9 influenza vaccine trial or in any study of an avian influenza vaccine
  • For the inpatient arm, seropositive to the H2N3 influenza A virus or the H9N2 influenza A virus (serum HAI titer \>1:8). For the outpatient arm, seropositive to the H3N2 component of seasonal LAIV (serum hemagglutination inhibition \[HAI\] titer greater than 1:8).
  • Positive urine drug toxicology test indicating narcotic use/dependency
  • Have medical, occupational, or family problems as a result of alcohol or illicit drug use during the past 12 months
  • Other condition that in the opinion of the investigator would jeopardize the safety or rights of a participant participating in the trial or would render the subject unable to comply with the protocol
  • History of anaphylaxis
  • Allergy to oseltamivir as determined by subject report
  • Current diagnosis of asthma or reactive airway disease (within the past 2 years)
  • History of Guillain-Barré Syndrome
  • Positive ELISA and confirmatory Western blot tests for human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1)
  • Positive ELISA and confirmatory test (e.g., recombinant immunoblot assay) for hepatitis C virus (HCV)
  • Positive hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) by ELISA
  • +13 more criteria
