Trial Information

A Pilot Study of Flumist, a Live Attenuated Intranasal Influenza Vaccine, and Inactivated Influenza Vaccine in Children With Cancer


The secondary objectives of this study are to:

1. Describe the safety of FluMist and inactivated influenza vaccine.

2. Describe the incidence and duration of viral replication following immunization with
FluMist.

3. To examine the association between immunization response (seroconversion or
seroprotection) and baseline clinical factors (age, type of malignancy, absolute
neutrophil count, absolute lymphocyte count, serum IgA, IgG and IgM levels).


Inclusion Criteria:



- Age 2 through 21 (not yet reached their 22nd birthday) at the time of entry into the
study

- Participant or participants parent/legal guardian available by telephone during the
course of the study;

- Written informed consent (and assent, if applicable) obtained

- Currently receiving chemotherapy and /or radiotherapy for the treatment of cancer or
have received chemotherapy in the past 12 weeks;

- If the participant's underlying cancer is a solid tumor, current status must be
stable disease, partial response, or complete response to therapy; if the
participant's underlying disease is a hematological malignancy, current status must
be in remission, and if receiving chemotherapy, must be in the "continuation" or
"maintenance" phase of therapy or equivalent;

- Estimated life expectancy of > 1 year

Exclusion Criteria:

- History of hypersensitivity to any component of FluMist or TIV, including egg or egg
products, gelatin, or monosodium glutamate;

- History of hypersensitivity to gentamicin;

- Close contact with a severely immunocompromised patient (e.g., a hematopoietic stem
cell transplant patient, during those periods in which the immunocompromised patient
requires care in a protective environment

- History of Guillain-BarreĀ“ syndrome;

- History of asthma;

- Female who is breastfeeding or lactating;

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:
