A Study of OVX836 Influenza Vaccine Given as Booster or Primary Vaccination in Healthy Adults Who Previously Received OVX836, Influenza Vaccine, or Placebo

2 1 1

What is this study about?

This clinical trial focuses on testing a new influenza vaccine called OVX836. The vaccine is given as a single intramuscular injection and is being studied at two different dose levels. The purpose is to evaluate how well the vaccine works and how safe it is when given to healthy adults who have previously received either OVX836, Influvac Tetra, or placebo in earlier studies.

The study involves comparing the effects of the vaccine when used as either a booster shot in people who have already received OVX836 before, or as a first-time vaccination in those who haven’t. Participants will receive a single injection of either 180 or 480 micrograms of the vaccine solution. The study is designed as a double-blind trial, which means neither the participants nor the researchers directly involved in giving the vaccine know who receives which dose.

During the study, researchers will monitor participants’ immune system responses to the vaccine and track any side effects that may occur. This includes checking for both expected reactions at the injection site and throughout the body, as well as any unexpected health issues. The study will also track whether participants develop any respiratory infections, including influenza, during the study period.

1 Initial vaccination

You will receive a single intramuscular injection of the study vaccine. The dose will be either 180µg or 480µg of OVX836 influenza vaccine.

The specific dose will be assigned randomly, and neither you nor the medical staff will know which dose you receive (this is called double-blind).

2 First week monitoring

For 7 days after vaccination, you will need to record any reactions at the injection site (such as pain or redness) and any general symptoms in an electronic diary.

The medical team will monitor your health status during this period.

3 Day 8 assessment

You will need to visit the study center for a blood sample collection.

The blood sample will be used to measure your body’s immune response to the vaccine.

4 29-day follow-up period

You will need to report any unexpected health issues for 29 days after vaccination.

On day 29, you will visit the study center for another blood sample collection to measure your immune response.

5 Extended monitoring

The study will continue to monitor your health status until the study ends (estimated June 2025).

You will need to report any flu-like symptoms or respiratory infections that occur during this period.

Trial locations

OVX836 is an investigational influenza vaccine being tested to protect against flu. It’s a new type of flu vaccine that is given as an injection into the muscle. The vaccine aims to provide protection against influenza viruses.

Influvac Tetra is an established seasonal flu vaccine that helps protect against four different strains of influenza virus. It is given as an injection into the muscle and is commonly used to prevent flu infections.

Note: The trial includes different doses of OVX836, but these are variations of the same vaccine rather than different medications.

Investigated diseases:

Influenza – A highly contagious viral respiratory infection that affects the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. The virus spreads through tiny droplets when infected people cough, sneeze, or talk. Symptoms typically appear suddenly and include fever, chills, muscle aches, fatigue, headache, dry cough, and runny or stuffy nose. The illness usually develops within 1-4 days after exposure to the virus. The infection causes inflammation of the respiratory tract and can vary in severity from mild to severe.
