Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The present study OVX836-006 aims principally to:
  • Confirm feasibility of the concomitant administration of the vaccines under normal clinical conditions, i.e. as two separate concomitant injections into opposite arms;

  • Introduce an additional representative brand of Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccines ;

  • Demonstrate the absence of interaction between OVX836 and Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccines on the Hemagglutinin response in two strata of subjects aged either 18-44 years or 45-60 years;

  • Demonstrate the absence of interaction between OVX836 and Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccines on the nucleoprotein response;

  • Evaluate the absolute vaccine efficacy of OVX836 compared to placebo in order to corroborate the efficacy signals previously detected in the OVX836 previous studies;

  • Evaluate the combined vaccine efficacy of OVX836 + Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccines versus OVX836 + placebo, and versus double placebo.
