About This Trial

In a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial to compare influenza vaccination and placebo in sustaining β cell function in early type 1 diabetes mellitus.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 4 studies happen after a treatment has been approved by the FDA. They monitor long-term safety, real-world effectiveness, and any rare side effects that only emerge in larger populations over longer periods. Phase 4 results sometimes lead to label changes, additional warnings, or — rarely — withdrawal of approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 100 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Patients hospitalized with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus. - Written willing to sign a consent form (parents, legal guardian). Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Influenza vaccination during the current influenza season. - Strong indication for influenza vaccination for non-diabetic disease. - Severe allergy to eggs or previous allergic reaction to influenza vaccine. - Suspicion of febrile illness or acute, ongoing infection. - Hypersensitivity to the active substances or ingredients of Vaxigrip Tetra or against any residues, such as eggs (ovalbumin or chicken proteins), neomycin, formaldehyde and octoxinol. - Patients with endogenic or iatrogenic immunosuppression that may result in reduced immunization response. - Inability to provide willing to sign a consent form from a parent or legal guardian. - Age \<7 or ≥18 years. - Previous randomization in the INVITED trial. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT05585983), the sponsor (Aarhus University Hospital), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.

Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions?

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
