Study Summary

This trial is designed to assess the safety and immunogenicity of of one and two doses of Sing2016 M2SR H3N2 influenza vaccine (manufactured by FluGen) administered intranasally in seven cohorts of children.

Who is the study for?
Children aged 6 months to 17 years, in good health, can join this trial. Specific age ranges apply for different cohorts. Participants must not have received certain vaccines or treatments recently and should not be planning to join other clinical trials during the study period. Girls of childbearing potential and sexually active boys must agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and immune response of one or two doses of Sing2016 M2SR H3N2 influenza vaccine given intranasally compared with a placebo in children across seven age-specific groups. The dosage varies by cohort, with reviews by a Safety Review Committee after initial follow-ups.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are likely similar to those from other nasal flu vaccines, which may include nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, headache, fatigue, and fever. As it's a Phase 1b trial focused on safety and tolerability/reactogenicity assessment.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 4Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Once, there is sufficient evidence of safety and tolerability in Cohort 3 and enrollment has been completed for this cohort, and fifth cohorts (Cohorts 4 and 5) will begin enrollment. A cohort of influenza non-naïve 25 healthy children, 2-8 years old, will receive two doses of the 10^9 TCID50 of intranasal Sing2016 M2SR H3N2 vaccine (N=15) or two doses of placebo (N=10) at Day 1 and Day 29. N=25
Group II: Cohort 3Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Once, there is sufficient evidence of safety and tolerability in Cohorts 1 and 2,and enrollment has completed of all 45 in each of these cohorts. Cohort 3 will begin enrollment. A cohort of influenza non-naïve 25 healthy children, 2-8 years old, will receive a single dose of 10^9 TCID50 of intranasal Sing2016 M2SR H3N2 vaccine (N=15) or placebo (N=10) at Day 1. N=25.
Group III: Cohort 2Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
A cohort of influenza non-naïve 45 healthy children, 2-8 years old, will receive a single dose of 10^8 TCID50 of intranasal Sing2016 M2SR H3N2 vaccine (N=30) or placebo (N=15) at Day 1 intranasally. N= 45
Group IV: Cohort 1Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
A cohort of influenza non-naïve 45 healthy children, 9-17 years old, will receive a single dose of 10^9 TCID50 of intranasal Sing2016 M2SR H3N2 vaccine (N=30) or placebo (N=15) at Day 1. N=45.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does the age limit for this trial extend to individuals over 60 years old?

"Children as young as 6 months and adults up to age 17 can enroll in this trial, which is one of 38 similar trials for minors and 78 for seniors."

Answered by AI

Is there a heightened risk associated with the Sing2016 M2SR H3N2 virus?

"Sing2016 M2SR H3N2 received a score of 1 for safety because it is only in Phase 1 trials. This means that there is limited data supporting both safety and efficacy."

Answered by AI

Does this clinical trial have a presence in several hospitals across North America?

"There are a few locations across America where this trial is enrolling patients. For example, University of Iowa - Infectious disease Clinic in Iowa City, Iowa, Vanderbilt University - Pediatric - Vanderbilt Vaccine Research Center in Nashville, Tennessee, and University of Maryland School of Medicine - Center for Vaccine Development - Baltimore in Baltimore, Maryland."
