What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial is testing whether a high-dose flu vaccine is safe and triggers a stronger immune response in adults aged 60 and older compared to the standard-dose vaccine. Participants receive a single injection and are monitored for side effects and antibody levels. The goal is to see if a higher dose can offer better protection against influenza in this age group.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a high-dose influenza vaccine (split virion, inactivated) containing 60 µg of hemagglutinin per strain
What this could lead to
If successful, this high-dose flu vaccine could offer better protection against influenza for older adults, who are at higher risk of severe illness.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to the general population. Higher doses can also increase the chance of side effects like injection-site reactions.

Participants with poorly controlled chronic diseases or a history of serious diseases, including but not limited to cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension not controlled by medication (systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg measured at the study site) or coronary heart disease; metabolic diseases, such as poorly controlled diabetes; hematologic diseases; hepatic or renal diseases; digestive system diseases; respiratory system diseases; malignant tumors; a history of major organ transplantation; or any other disease or physiological condition that, in the investigator's opinion, may interfere with the study results. 5. Participants with autoimmune diseases or immunodeficiency diseases, including but not limited to systemic lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis, autoimmune thyroid disease, asplenia, functional asplenia, or HIV infection. 6. Participants with coagulation disorders, such as coagulation factor deficiency or platelet abnormalities. 7. Participants with current or previous severe neurological disease or psychiatric disease, or a family history of psychiatric disease. 8. Participants with a history of long-term alcohol abuse or drug abuse. 9. Participants with a history of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). 10. Participants who have received immunosuppressive agents or other immunomodulatory therapy for ≥14 days within the past 6 months (prednisone ≥20 mg/day or equivalent), cytotoxic therapy, or plan to receive such therapy during the study. Corticosteroid spray therapy for allergic rhinitis and topical corticosteroid therapy for acute uncomplicated dermatitis are excluded from this criterion. 11. Participants who have received immunoglobulin or other blood products within 3 months before receiving the study vaccine, or plan to receive such treatment during the study. 12. Participants who have received other investigational drugs or vaccines within 30 days before receiving the study vaccine, or plan to receive such drugs or vaccines during the study. 13. Participants who have received live attenuated vaccines or RNA vaccines within 14 days before receiving the study vaccine. 14. Participants who have received subunit or inactivated vaccines within 7 days before receiving the study vaccine. 15. Participants with any acute disease, acute exacerbation of a chronic disease, or known or suspected active infection within the past 7 days. 16.
