Brief summary
In 2009, the pandemic influenza A/H1N1 accounted for worldwide recommendations about vaccination. There is no data concerning the immunogenicity nor the security of the adjuvanted-A/H1N1 vaccine in renal disease patients. The aim of this study is to observe the effects of this vaccine on transplanted and hemodialyzed patients.
Detailed description
The serologic responses to the Pandemrix vaccine will assess the efficacy, with the determination of the seroconversion rate among the patients. The anti-HLA and anti-MICA antibodies will be determined to assess the safety among the renal transplanted patients.
Interventions
intramuscular injection of 1 dose vaccine

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| to determine the efficacy aand safety of influenza A/H1N1 adjuvanted-vaccination among renal transplant and haemodialyzed patients as compared to controls | one month post-vaccination | measures of anti-A/H1N1 antibodies with a method of microneutralizing test (seroneutralization) to follow-up the secondary effects of the vaccine and follow-up of renal function in renal transplanted patients. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| to controls and to assess the safety of the vaccine among renal transplanted patients by studying HLA or MICA sensitization before and following vaccination | follow-up 6 months | To measure the Anti-HLA and anti-MICA antibodies with luminex-test |
