Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Analyze T-cell and B-cell immune response after influenzavaccination with Inflexal V. ;Secondary Objective: Clinical efficacy and safety after vaccination with Inflexal V in allogeneic stem cell transplant patients. To analyze cellmediated and antibodymediated immune responses with additional techniques ;Primary end point(s): B-cell response defined as a 4-fold increase in HI titer or achievement of = 1:40 in HI after vaccination T-cell response defined as more than a 2-fold increase in the number of influenza-specific gamma-interferon producing T-cells after vaccination.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 4 weeks after vaccination | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Number of verified influensa cases after vaccination Side effects B-cell response defined as at least a two-fold increase in the number of influenza-specific antibodies analyzed by ELISA CD8+ T-cellresponse defined as more than a 2-fold increase in the number of influenza-specific Cd8+ cells analyzed by tetramertechnology;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Six months after vaccination for the clinical endpoints Four weeks after vaccination for the laboratory endpoints | — |
