Study Summary

This trial looks at the side effects and efficacy of two different influenza vaccines in adults who have had a stem cell transplant.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who had a stem cell transplant between 3 to 23 months ago. They should be available for the study duration and have stable graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) without major treatment changes recently. Participants need a minimum platelet count of 30,000 and must be reachable by phone or electronic means.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares high-dose trivalent influenza vaccine with standard-dose quadrivalent inactivated flu vaccine in adult stem cell transplant recipients. It aims to see which dosage offers better protection against seasonal flu given their weakened immune systems.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions to vaccines such as soreness at the injection site, fever, muscle aches, and fatigue. There may also be rare risks associated with higher doses of vaccines that will be monitored throughout the trial.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is this clinical trial occurring in more than one state?

"This trial is being conducted at 4 locations: Northwestern University in Chicago, Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, and University of Alabama in Birmingham, along with other sites."

Answered by AI

Are researchers currently looking for new participants in this clinical trial?

"Unfortunately, this particular clinical trial is not presently recruiting patients. Although the study's webpage on clinicaltrials.gov was last updated on April 11th, 2022, it was originally posted over 4 years ago on October 9th, 2017. There are other active studies that might be of interest though - 4 in total."

Answered by AI

What are the risks associated with Trivalent Influenza Vaccine?

"While Phase 2 trials don't have data supporting efficacy, there is some evidence that suggests Trivalent Influenza Vaccine is safe. We scored it a 2."
