Influenza Clinical Trial
Official title:
Transcriptomic Signatures of Influenza Vaccine Responses
The purpose of this research study is to better understand the immune response to the Adjuvanted Subunit flu vaccine (MF59) and the High Dose flu vaccine (HDFlu) in people 65 years of age and older. The research team will be studying why immune response diminishes as people get older in both men and women. The ultimate goal is to understand how flu immunity develops after vaccination. This information may lead to the development of more effective flu vaccines in the future.
The overall goal of this proposal is to determine how vaccine type, sex, and gene expression influence both innate and T helper cell immune responses using systems biology and bioinformatics as tools to comprehensively assess the human transcriptome. We will evaluate sex-dependent immune responses to two unique influenza vaccines in a population of older adults; the recently FDA-licensed MF59-adjuvanted influenza subunit vaccine and the high-dose split virion influenza virus vaccine. The influence of sex on immune response to vaccination has been observed across multiple vaccines (including standard dose influenza vaccines, but the mechanisms are unknown, it affects all age groups regardless of hormonal status, and existing studies focus almost exclusively on humoral immune responses. Relatively little is known about the effect of sex on innate and T helper responses following vaccination and we are unaware of any studies evaluating the effect of sex on immune responses to adjuvanted influenza vaccine. The presence of adjuvant (MF59Flu) or higher antigen (Ag) dose leads to greater immunogenicity through mechanisms that have not been fully deciphered and are likely to be different. Further, a direct comparison of innate and T helper immune responses between adjuvanted and high dose influenza vaccines has not been reported. The study design will include 200 generally healthy individuals (ages ≥65) who meet all inclusion criteria. 100 subjects will receive each vaccine with equal sex representation in each subgroup (a factorial design for sex by vaccine type). Subjects will undergo venipuncture for blood samples (~100 mL each, sufficient for the proposed assays) before vaccination and at three timepoints after vaccination (Day 1, Day 8, Day 28). The clinical characterization of our study subjects will include demographic information, height, weight, BMI, waist circumference, medications, and medical conditions that do not meet exclusion criteria (see Protection of Human Subjects). We will also quantify blood leukocyte populations (CBC, WBC differential). Immunosenescence and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection can affect influenza vaccine-induced immune responses. We will evaluate whether CMV seropositivity or other measures of immunosenescence are associated with immune response and whether they interact with vaccine type/sex. We will monitor/characterize transcriptional changes (mRNA and miRNA) as well as measures of immune function (cytokine secretion, leukocyte surface phenotype, hemagglutination inhibiting antibody titer, and memory B cell ELISPOT) at each time point. ;
