Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Immune Response Following Vaccination With Immunose™ FLU in Older Adults

NCT03437304 | Completed Phase 1

• 1 other identifier: EURO 17-09
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 298
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 5

Brief Summary

This is a Phase I/II, randomised, multicentre, partially double-blind (group 1, 2, 4 and 5), parallel-group study designed to primarily evaluate the safety, tolerability and immune response in older adults (age 50 to 75 years) following Immunose™ FLU vaccination at 5 sites in Sweden. A total of 300 subjects will be randomised to 1 of 7 treatment groups. The hypothesis is that Immunose™ FLU is safe and tolerable and will increase the influenza-specific mucosal immune response in older adults.

• Use of any parenteral or oral corticosteroids within 30 days prior to screening. Inhaled steroids are allowed.
• Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history and physical examination.
• Any progressive or severe neurologic disorder, seizure disorder or Guillain-Barré syndrome.
• Any history of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
• Received blood, blood products and/or plasma derivatives or any administration of immunoglobulin preparation within the 3 months prior to Visit 2, or planned during the study.
