Study Summary

This is a Phase I, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the safety of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) versus placebo in elderly subjects receiving the live attenuated influenza vaccine. Lactobacilli are part of the normal flora of the intestine. LGG is one of several strains of Lactobacilli that is used as a probiotic or microorganism administered to confer "health benefits". Our research is focused on studying the possible therapeutic effects of LGG. The study hypotheses are: 1. LGG or placebo administered twice daily will be safe and well tolerated in elderly subjects who have just received the live attenuated influenza vaccine, 2. The immune response to the influenza vaccine at day 21, 28, and 56 will be higher in the LGG group than the placebo group, 3. The diversity of the microbiota in nasopharyngeal and stool specimens at day 21, 28, and 56 will be greater in the LGG group than the placebo group.

Primary Outcome

Adverse events will be detected during study visits with standardized questionnaires, medical history, vital signs, physical examinations, laboratory tests and review of subject diaries as well as between study visits on telephone calls based on responses to adverse event questionnaires. Additionally, subjects are encouraged to call the PI or study staff at any time if they are experiencing an adverse event.
