Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' influenza vaccine GSK2186877A in adults 65 year of age and older. The study design is divided in two surveillance phases: one passive phase along the study during the influenza season and one active surveillance phase during the influenza peak season.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: GSK Bio's influenza vaccine GSK2186877A
  • Biological: Fluarix TM
Phase 3

Detailed Description

This Protocol Posting has been updated according to Protocol Amendment 3, Sep 2009.

After the analyses for this study were completed, questions arose regarding the integrity of study data from a single study site in Romania, which enrolled 102 subjects in the trial. Because evaluation of data from this site did not reveal irregularities when compared with overall study data and because GSK has no current plans to use the data from the study in support of any regulatory filings, they were not excluded from the analyses reflected in this results summary.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Subjects Reporting Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-Confirmed Influenza A and/or B Infection. [After the first dose during the corresponding surveillance period (from mid November 2008 to the end of April 2009 (end of influenza season))]

    Occurrence of PCR-confirmed influenza A and/or B infection, due to any matching or drift influenza strain relative to the vaccine strains (i.e. not emerging novel human influenza strain like H1N1v). PCR-confirmed influenza (PCI) was defined as an episode of influenza-like illness (ILI) occurring after the administration of the study vaccine for which a nasal and throat swab specimen yields influenza virus A and/or B by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis.

  2. Serum Hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) Antibody Titers, Against Each of the 3 Vaccine Influenza Strains, in the FluNG Groups. [At Days 0 (pre-vaccination Dose 1) and 21 (post-vaccination Dose 1) of the first year (2008/2009) of the study]

    Vaccine strains assessed were A/Brisbane/59/2077, A/Uruguay/716/2007 and B/Brisbane/3/2007. Titers were expressed as geometric mean titers calculated on all subjects in the lot-to-lot subset of subjects.

Recruitment Details Subjects were vaccinated during the pre-influenza season at Day 0, were contacted by phone during the surveillance period from mid November to the end of the influenza season (April-May) and were contacted by phone at Days 270 and 365 for the Year 1 influenza season 2008/2009 and the Year 2 influenza season 2009/2010.

They all received Dose 2 at Day 0 of the Year 2, again from 3 different lots.

Description In the lot-to-lot subset of subject in the FluGN Group. Vaccine strains assessed were A/Brisbane/59/2077, A/Uruguay/716/2007 and B/Brisbane/3/2007. Seroconversion is defined as the number of subjects with pre-vaccination HI titer (Day 0) < 1:10 and post-vaccination titer (Day 21) ≥ 1:40 or a pre-vaccination HI titer (Day 0) ≥ 1:10 and fold-increase (post/pre) ≥ 4.
Time Frame At Day 21 of the first year (2008/2009) of the study.
