An interventional study of Infectious Titre 1 and Infectious Titre 2 in Influenza A H1N1, sponsored by Hvivo. Completed at 1 site in United Kingdom. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 55 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-09-13.

A total of up to 90 participants may be given H1N1 influenza challenge virus.
In Part A, 40 participants will be randomly allocated to one of two groups to be given one of two virus doses (Virus Dose 1 or Virus Dose 2).
Based on the outcome of Part A, participants in Part B, may be given Virus Dose 1, Virus Dose 2, or another virus dose (e.g., Virus Dose 3)
Influenza viruses are associated with significant human disease and cause annual epidemics during autumn and winter. Although most people recover within 1 to 2 weeks without requiring medical attention, seasonal influenza yearly results in approximately 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness and up to 500,000 deaths worldwide, particularly among the very young, elderly, and chronically ill.
The H1N1 virus used for the challenge virus originated from a cell-culture derived candidate vaccine virus (ccCVV), provided by the Centers for Disease Control an Prevention (CDC) in the USA.
In Part A, 40 participants will be randomly allocated to one of two groups to be given one of two virus doses (Virus Dose 1 or Virus Dose 2).
Based on the outcome of Part A, participants in Part B, may be given Virus Dose 1, Virus Dose 2, or another virus dose (e.g., Virus Dose 3)

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
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.
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.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.
After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

To determine the safe and optimal titre of the influenza challenge virus
To identify a safe and infectious dose of wild-type influenza virus in healthy participants, suitable for future intervention studies that: • Has an acceptable safety profile as measured by: Occurrence of adverse events (AEs) related to the viral challenge Occurrence of serious AEs (SAEs) related to the viral challenge Induces laboratory-confirmed infection in ≥40% of inoculated participants (ideally between 50% and 80%).
Time frame: Day 0 to Day 28
Ran from Sep 2022 to primary completion in Dec 2022, 3 months.
Of 166 interventional studies with no phase under Influenza, Human, half reached primary completion within 6 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 16. This study's 3 months is below that.
