Phase 2/Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
Evaluation of the tolerability, safety and immunogenicity of the inactivated split flu vaccine FLU-M® Tetra compared to Ultrix® Quadri vaccine in volunteers aged 60 years and above.
Volunteers were screened and randomized in three groups: the Flu-M Tetra w/p group, the Flu-M Tetra w/o/p group and the Ultrix Quadri group. All subjects were followed up for 28 days post randomization and vaccination.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change from baseline seroconversion level at 28 days [Day 0 to day 28]
Seroconversion rate refers to the percentage of subjects who have a prevaccination titer of influenza haemagglutinin antibody titer (HA titer) ≤ 1:10 and a post-vaccination HA titer ≥ 1:40 or a prevaccination HA titer > 1:10 and at least a 4-fold increase in post-vaccination HA titer vs. the baseline.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Seroconversion factor [days 0, 28]
Seroconversion factor is an increase in the geometric mean titers of antibodies at Day 28 vs. the baseline level, expressed in the fold rise.
- Seroprotection level [days 0, 28]
Seroprotection rate refers to the percentage of subjects with a generated protective HA titer (at least 1:40) vs. the baseline level.
- Geometric mean titer (GMT) of antibodies [days 0, 28]
Geometric mean titer (GMT) of antibodies in the blood serums of vaccinated people in haemagglutination inhibition assay.
- Frequency of development of AEs associated with the vaccination [days 0-28]
An adverse event (AE) is any adverse medical occurrence in a trial subject who has received a pharmaceutical product or medicine that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the medicine. AE include: new disease, complication of signs or symptoms of the condition being treated or a concomitant disease, effect of the trial drug or the reference drug, effect associated with a trial procedure, any combination of one or more of these factors.
- Frequency of development of SAEs associated with the vaccination [days 0-28]
An adverse event is considered serious if it is fatal, threatens the life, requires hospitalization or extension of hospitalization, results in permanent or significant disability, is a congenital abnormality or defect (not applicable to this trial), is an important medical event.
- Number of participants with abnormal physical examination findings [days 0,1,3,7,28]
Physical examination of volunteers includes an interview, discovery of complaints and symptoms, when required, palpation, auscultation, percussion for the following organs and systems: skin, mucosa, eyes, oral cavity and pharynx, lungs/chest, cardiovascular system, abdominal organs, nervous system, lymph nodes, musculoskeletal system, endocrine system.
- Results of assessment of blood pressure (BP) [days 0,1,3,7,28]
BP measurements include the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
- Results of assessment of heart rate (HR) [days 0,1,3,7,28]
HR is measured during auscultation of the heart in parallel with determining the pulse rate on the radial artery (or on the carotid artery in case of weak pulsation in the radial artery) for a minute while sitting.
- Results of E immunoglobulin tests [days 0,3,28]
Determination of total IgE.
- Results of assessment of respiratory rate (RR) [days 0,1,3,7,28]
RR is measured for a minute at rest in the sitting position, by registering the breathing movements of the chest or abdominal wall, without attracting the patient's attention.
- Results of assessment of body temperature [days 0,1,3,7,28]
Body temperature is measured with a mercury or digital thermometer in the armpit for at least 5 minutes or with a non-contact infrared digital thermometer.
- Number of participants with abnormal neurological examinations [days 0,1,3,7,28]
Assessement of neurological status, cranial nerve function, motor sphere, reflex sphere, sensitive sphere, coordination sphere, pelvic functions, higher mental functions.
- Number of participants with abnormal ECG findings [days 0,3]
ECG QT Interval, QTc Interval, PQ Interval, QRS complex.
- Number of participants with abnormal complete blood counts results [days 0,3]
Hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, leukocyte count, ESR.
- Number of participants with abnormal biochemical blood tests results [days 0,3]
Total protein, creatinine, urea, glucose, total bilirubin, total cholesterol, AST, ALT, ALP.
