Study summary

Rationale and Background: Since 2013, Butantan Institute has been performing passive pharmacovigilance activities related to its triavalent, fragmented and inactivated vaccine (IB TIV).

Objetive: To conduct an active surveillance study focusing on the elderly and health care professionals as part of Butantan pharmacovigilance plan, while passive surveillance activities will continue. The pharmacovigilance plan, via active surveillance, is being implemented in response to WHO requirements for pre-qualification of IB TIV.

Read the detailed description

Study Design: This is a prospective cohort study. Population: Target groups for vaccination defined by The National Immunization Program of Brazil: healthcare workers and elderly (people over 60 years old). Study Size: A total of 400 individuals (150 health care workers and 250 elderly), presenting for immunization with IB TIV, and who agree to participate after providing Informed Consent.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. number of participants with adverse events following immunization (AEFI), 42 days post-vaccination.

    to estimate the incidence of AEFI associated with administration of the trivalent, fragmented, inactivated influenza vaccine (2018 Southern Hemisphere Season) produced at Butantan Institute within 42 days post-vaccination.

    Time frame: 42 days post-vaccination

Secondary outcomes

  1. number of solicited AEFI, 14 days post-vaccination.

    to estimate the incidence of solicited AEFI associated with administration of the trivalent, fragmented, inactivated influenza vaccine (2018 Southern Hemisphere Season) produced at Butantan Institute within 14 days post-vaccination.

    Time frame: 14 days post-vaccination

  2. number of unsolicited AEFI, 14 days post-vaccination.

    to estimate the incidence of unsolicited adverse events following immunization (AEFI) associated with administration of the trivalent, fragmented, inactivated influenza vaccine (2018 Southern Hemisphere Season) produced at Butantan Institute within 14 days post-vaccination.

    Time frame: 14 days post-vaccination

  3. number of unsolicited AEFI, 42 days post-vaccination.

    to estimate the incidence of unsolicited adverse events following immunization (AEFI) associated with administration of the trivalent, fragmented, inactivated influenza vaccine (2018 Southern Hemisphere Season) produced at Butantan Institute within 42 days post-vaccination.

    Time frame: 42 days post-vaccination

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Apr 2018 to primary completion in Jul 2018, 2 months.

Of 98 non-industry observational studies under Influenza, Human, half reached primary completion within 36 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 92. This study's 2 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 135 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 59.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 16, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
