Read the detailed description

A phase IV clinical trial of Influenza Vaccine (Split Virion), Inactivated (Anflu®) developed by Sinovac Biotech Co., Ltd will be conducted in Chinese pregnant women.

A total of 150 healthy pregnant women aged 18\~45 years at 22 to 34 weeks (+6 days) of pregnancy will be enrolled.The trial is a randomized, double-blind, positive controlled study to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Influenza Vaccine (Split Virion) ,Inactivated (Anflu®) manufactured by Sinovac. The active control vaccine is VAXIGRIP® manufactured by Sanofi.

For immunogenicity assessment, blood samples will be collected from participants prior to vaccination, 28 days post-vaccination, and at the end of pregnancy (at delivery) to evaluate antibody levels in pregnant women following influenza vaccination. Additionally, the cord blood samples will be collected at delivery to assess transplacental antibody transfer to the fetus. Antibodies will be tested using the hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) assay.

For safety assessment, any immediate adverse events within 30 minutes after vaccine administration, solicited local and systemic adverse events within 7 days and unsolicited adverse events within 28 days will be collected. Serious adverse events will be collected from the time of informed consent signature until 3 months after delivery (or until 3 months after the event if pregnancy termination occurs). Pregnancy and neonatal outcomes will be collected by medical record review .

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(11)

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.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

HIV

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.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Investigational drug or device

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.

Clinically significant

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.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
