A Study of the Safety and Immunogenicity of High-Dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine in Subjects Aged 65 Years and Older
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of two formulations of the high-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine compared to the licensed high-dose trivalent influenza vaccine control in healthy elderly subjects aged 65 years of age and above.
Primary objectives:
-
To describe the safety profile of all subjects in each study group.
-
To demonstrate that the high-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine induces an immune response (as assessed by HAI geometric mean titers (GMTs) that is non-inferior to responses induced by the licensed high-dose trivalent influenza vaccine for the 3 common virus strains at 28 days post-vaccination.
Secondary objectives:
-
To describe post-vaccination immunogenicity for the 4 virus strains (as assessed by seroconversion and seroprotection) for subjects who receive the high-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine and the licensed high-dose trivalent influenza vaccine.
-
To describe post-vaccination immunogenicity for the 4 virus strains (as assessed by GMTs, seroconversion, and seroprotection) for subjects who receive the high-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine and the investigational high-dose trivalent influenza vaccine.

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
All eligible participants will be randomized to receive a single injection of either one of the high-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine formulations or one of the high-dose trivalent influenza vaccines at Day 0. They will provide blood samples for hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) testing. Safety information as solicited, unsolicited reactions, serious adverse events, including adverse events of special interest will be collected in the trial.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of participants reporting solicited injection site and systemic events, unsolicited adverse events and serious adverse events following vaccination with a dose of Fluzone influenza vaccines [Day 0 up to 6 months post-vaccination]
Solicited injection site: Pain, Redness, Swelling, Induration, and Ecchymosis. Solicited systemic reaction: Fever (Temperature), Headache, Malaise, Myalgia, and Shivering. Unsolicited adverse events, including serious adverse events, will also be collected
- Hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) antibody titers to influenza virus antigens following vaccination with Fluzone High Dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine or High Dose trivalent influenza vaccine [Day 28 post-vaccination]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Seroconversion with respect to vaccine antigens following vaccination with Fluzone High-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine or High-dose trivalent influenza vaccine [Day 28 post-vaccination]
Seroconversion is defined as either a pre-vaccination titer < 10 (1/dil) and a post-vaccination titer ≥ 40 (1/dil), or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 10 (1/dil) and a ≥ 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer at 28 days after vaccination.
- Seroprotection with respect to vaccine antigens following vaccination with Fluzone High-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine or High-dose trivalent influenza vaccine [Day 28 post-vaccination]
Seroprotection is defined as a titer ≥ 40 (l/dil) at pre-vaccination and at 28 days after vaccination.
