Frequently Asked Questions

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

How many venues are overseeing this clinical research?

"The investigation is accepting participants from Pharmax Research Clinic Inc in Miami, Ohio, MICS Centrum Medyczne Torun in Torun, California and Suncoast Research Associates, LLC in Cincinnati, Missouri as well as an additional 41 sites."

Answered by AI

Is the opportunity to participate in this experiment still available?

"That is correct. As per clinicaltrials.gov, this medical research project, which was inaugurated on October 24th 2023, is actively recruiting participants. Approximately 932 individuals need to be enlisted from 41 different trial sites."

Answered by AI

What goals are investigators hoping to accomplish with this research?

"The primary outcome of this 29-day trial is to assess Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titers Against Each of the Four Influenza Vaccine Strains via HI Assay. Additionally, it will measure secondary outcomes such as Antibody Titers to Vaccine O-serotype Antigens and Exotoxin a Derived from Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (EPA), both assessed with Multiplex ECL-based Immunoassay, as well as Opsonophagocytic Antiobdy Titers to vaccine O-serotype antigens through MOPA on Day"

Answered by AI

What is the highest participant count for this clinical investigation?

"This trial necessitates the enrollment of 932 suitable participants, which can be done from two separate clinical sites: Pharmax Research Clinic Inc in Miami, Ohio and MICS Centrum Medyczne Torun in Torun, California."

Answered by AI

Has the FDA sanctioned the CoAd Group of this trial?

"Group 1: Coadministration (CoAd) Group has been assigned a safety rating of 3 due to the existing evidence from Phase 3 trials, which provide support for both its efficacy and security."
