Immunogenicity and Safety of an Adjuvanted Inactivated Subunit Influenza Vaccine to Those of a Non-adjuvanted Inactivated Subunit Influenza Vaccine, When Administered to Adults Affected by Chronic Diseases

November 30, 2016 updated by: Novartis Vaccines

A Phase III, Randomized, Controlled, Observer-blind, Single-center Study to Compare Immunogenicity and Safety of an Adjuvanted Inactivated Subunit Influenza Vaccine to Those of a Non-adjuvanted Inactivated Subunit Influenza Vaccine, When Administered to Adults Affected by Chronic Diseases

This phase III is designed to confirm the previous trial results evaluating the safety, clinical tolerability and immunogenicity of the 2006-2007 formulation of Novartis Vaccines' adjuvanted influenza vaccine and subunit influenza vaccine in adults with underlying chronic diseases.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Compare immunogenicity of a single IM inj. of an adj. inactivated subunit flu vaccine vs. inactivated subunit virus flu vaccine, with regards to A/H3N2 antigen, when administered to adults with underlying chronic disease, as measured by HI test at day 22

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Compare immunogenicity of an IM injection of an adj. inactivated subunit flu vaccine vs. inactivated subunit virus flu vaccine, with regards to B antigen, when administered to adults with underlying chronic disease, as measured by HI test at day 22
Evaluate immunog. of a single IM inj. of an adj. inactivated subunit flu vaccine vs. inactivated subunit virus flu vaccine, with regards to A/H1N1 antigen, when administered to adults with underlying chronic disease, as measured by HI test at day 22
To evaluate the safety of a single IM injection of the two influenza vaccines, when administered to adult subjects with underlying chronic disease(s).
