How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Prevention
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Quadruple

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: MF59-adjuvanted influenza vaccine
MF59-adjuvanted QIV containing 2 influenza type A strains and 2 influenza type B strains or MF59-adjuvanted TIV containing 2 influenza type A strains and 1 influenza type B strain
Participants receive a 0.5-mL intramuscular dose of aQIV or aTIV on Day 1. A 0.5 mL dose of aQIV contains nominally 15 µg of hemagglutinin (HA) of each of the 2 influenza type A strains and each of the 2 influenza B strains (total of 60 µg HA). A 0.5 mL dose of aTIV contains nominally 15 µg of HA of each of the 2 influenza type A strains and of the influenza B strain (total of 45 µg HA). The strain composition of aQIV and aTIV is that recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for quadrivalent and trivalent influenza vaccines, respectively, contemporaneous to the timing of the study.
Other Names:
  • Fluad Tetra/Quadrivalent or Fluad
Other: Non-adjuvanted influenza vaccine
Non-adjuvanted QIV containing 2 influenza type A strains and 2 influenza type B strains or Non-adjuvanted TIV containing 2 influenza type A strains and 1 influenza type B strain
Participants receive a 0.5-mL intramuscular dose of the non-adjuvanted QIV or TIV on Day 1. A 0.5 mL dose of QIV contains nominally 15 μg of HA of each of the 2 influenza type A strains and each of the 2 influenza B strains (total of 60 μg HA). A 0.5 mL dose of TIV contains nominally 15 μg of HA of each of the 2 influenza type A strains and of the influenza B strain (total of 45 μg HA). The strain composition of QIV and TIV is that recommended by the WHO for quadrivalent and trivalent influenza vaccines, respectively, contemporaneous to the timing of the study.

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?

YES

IPD Plan Description

Seqirus will consider on a case-by-case basis requests to share Individual Patient Data (IPD) with external bona-fide, qualified scientific and medical researchers. For information on the process and requirements for submitting a voluntary data sharing request for IPD, please contact Seqirus at seqirus.clinicaltrials@seqirus.com.

IPD Sharing Time Frame

Requests for IPD will generally be considered once review by major regulatory authorities (ie FDA, EMA) is complete and the primary publication is available.

IPD Sharing Access Criteria

Proposed research should seek to answer a previously unanswered important medical or scientific question.

Applicable country specific privacy and other laws and regulations will be considered and may prevent sharing of IPD.

If the request is approved and the researcher has executed an appropriate data sharing agreement, IPD that has been appropriately anonymized will be available.
