Effect of Oral Supplements for Influenza Vaccine Response
Sponsor: Tsinghua University
Summary
The aim of this clinical trial is to explore the efficacy of fatty acid and bile acid based supplements on enhancing influenza vaccine immune response in adults aged 60-70 years. The objectives of this study are: 1. To explore the efficacy of fatty acid and bile acid based supplements on enhancing flu vaccine immune response. 2. To evaluate the safety of fatty acid and bile acid use in elders. 3. To explore the potential role of microbiota in regulating immune response. This study will conduct a randomized clinical trial to compare the efficacy of fatty acid / bile acid (Tauro Ursodesoxy Cholic Acid, TUDCA)supplements on enhancing vaccine immune response. The antibody's titer and safety indicators after influenza vaccination will be evaluated. Study process are: 1. Participants will be required to intake the assigned supplement or placebo daily for 25 days; 2. Receive a influenza vaccine on day 4; 3. Provide blood samples three times and stool samples twice at base line and endpoint respectively; 4. The antibody's titer and safety indicators will be analyzed and compared among groups. This study aims to establish a theoretical foundation for utilizing nutritional strategies to enhance vaccine-induced immune responses and to provide a scientific framework for developing oral vaccine boosters.

Placebo capsule composition includes: C14:0 (0.09%), C16:0 (6.12%), C16:1 (0.03%), C18:0 (3.50%), C18:1 (28.06%), C18:2 (59.40%), C20:0 (0.27%), C22:0 (0.76%), C24:0 (0.26%). Maintain original lifestyle during intervention, Day 0-Day 2 as adaptation period, receive quadrivalent influenza vaccine on Day 3, continue taking placebo until Day 24.
Shanghai Biological Quadrivalent Influenza Virus Inactivated Vaccine
Administer Shanghai Biological Quadrivalent Influenza Virus Inactivated Vaccine, produced by Shanghai Biological Products Research Institute Co., Ltd. , specification 0.5ml/dose, containing 15.0 μg hemagglutinin (for each influenza virus strain), suitable for intramuscular injection in individuals 6 months and older. Administer one dose to all study participants on Day 3. Closely observe and record any potential adverse reactions after vaccination.
