Detailed Description
The potential for widespread human disease due to the H3N2v influenza viruses is considerable. Infection with these viruses would most likely impact young children. This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the H3N2v MN 2010/AA ca live attenuated influenza vaccine (H3N2v LAIV) in healthy children and adults, 6 to 26 years old.
The study will enroll participants sequentially in four groups: Group 1 will include H3N2v seronegative adults ages 18-26 years; Group 2 will include H3N2v seropositive adolescents ages 13-17 years; Group 3 will include H3N2v seronegative adolescents ages 13-17 years; and Group 4 will include children ages 6 to 12 years, who will not be screened for H3N2v serostatus.
At study entry (Day 0), participants in Group 1 will receive one dose of H3N2v LAIV. Participants in Groups 2, 3, and 4 will be randomly assigned to receive two doses of either H3N2v LAIV or placebo, receiving the first dose on Day 0 and the second dose on Day 28. On Day 84, all participants will receive one dose of H3N2v IIV (an inactivated booster vaccine).
Participants will attend several additional study visits through Day 180. These visits may include a physical examination; respiratory examination; and collection of blood, urine, or nasal fluids.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Frequency of vaccine-related reactogenicity events (REs) that occur during the acute monitoring phase of the study [Measured through Day 180]
- Area under the curve of nasal virus shedding after each dose of vaccine [Measured through Day 180]
As assessed by liquid titration of nasal secretions on Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells at 33°C
- Development of serum antibody [Measured through Day 180]
Assessed by either hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) or microneutralization (MN) assays
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Development of a significant increase in nasal secretion hemagglutinin (HA)-specific antibody [Measured through Day 180]
Assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), luminex or microneutralization assay
