Study arms

  • Experimental
    Adults

    Healthy volunteers aged 18 to 59 years received a single 0.5 mL dose of CSL Influenza Vaccine by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection.

    Biological: CSL Influenza Vaccine

  • Experimental
    Older Adults

    Healthy volunteers aged 60 years or older received a single 0.5 mL dose of CSL Influenza Vaccine by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection.

    Biological: CSL Influenza Vaccine

Interventions

  • BiologicalCSL Influenza Vaccine

    The study vaccine (CSL Influenza Vaccine) is a sterile, thiomersal-free suspension containing 45 mcg total haemagglutinin antigen per 0.5 mL dose (15 mcg each of the three recommended influenza strains for the Northern Hemisphere 2012/2013 influenza season). The vaccine will be administered by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection.

    Also known as: Enzira® vaccine, Afluria® vaccine

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The Percentage of Evaluable Participants Achieving Seroconversion or Significant Increase in Antibody Titre.

    As per the criteria specified in the CPMP/BWP/214/96 Note for Guidance on Harmonisation of Requirements for Influenza Vaccines. For haemagglutination inhibition (HI), seroconversion (H1N1, H3N2, and B influenza virus strains) was defined as achieving a post-vaccination titre of ≥ 40 for those participants with a pre-vaccination HI titre of \< 10. A significant increase (H1N1, H3N2, and B influenza virus strains) was defined as a four-fold or greater increase in HI titre for those participants with a pre-vaccination HI titre of ≥ 10.

    Time frame: Approximately 21 days after vaccination

  2. The Geometric Mean Fold Increase (GMFI) in Antibody Titre After Vaccination.

    GMFI (H1N1, H3N2, and B influenza virus strains) was defined as the geometric mean of the fold increases of post-vaccination antibody titre over the pre-vaccination antibody titre.

    Time frame: Approximately 21 days after vaccination

  3. The Percentage of Evaluable Participants Achieving a HI Titre ≥ 40 or Single Radial Haemolysis (SRH) Area ≥ 25 mm2.

    For the H1N1, H3N2, and B influenza virus strains. Note: No SRH data were collected.

    Time frame: Approximately 21 days after vaccination

Secondary outcomes

  1. Frequency and Intensity of Any Solicited Adverse Events (AEs).

    The percentage of participants reporting any solicited AEs and the percentage of participants reporting any solicited AEs with severe intensity. Note: Intensity of solicited AEs was collected for temperature only. Solicited local AEs collected included induration \>50 mm, erythema, ecchymosis, and pain at the vaccination site. Solicited systemic AEs collected included temperature above 38.0°C, chills, and malaise. Solicited AE intensity grading: Mild: symptoms were easily tolerated and there was no interference with daily activities; Moderate: enough discomfort to cause some interference with daily activities; Severe: symptoms that prevented normal, everyday activities.

    Time frame: During the 4 days after vaccination (Day 0 plus 3 days)

  2. Frequency of Any Unsolicited AEs.

    The percentage of participants reporting any unsolicited AEs. Unsolicited AEs included AEs other than those specifically solicited.

    Time frame: After vaccination until the end of the study; approximately 21 days
