Study summary

This randomized, modified double-blind, active-controlled, multi-center trial assessed the safety and immunogenicity of the high-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV-HD) compared to either the licensed or investigational high-dose trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV-HD) in adults.

Read the detailed description

This randomized, modified double-blind, active-controlled, multi-center trial was conducted in healthy adults (greater than and equal to [>=] 65 years) to assess the safety and immunogenicity (geometric mean titers and seroconversion for the 4 virus strains at 28 days post vaccination) of the QIV-HD compared to one of the TIV-HDs containing either the B strain from the primary lineage (TIV-HD1; licensed vaccine [Fluzone® High-Dose] for the 2017-2018 Northern Hemisphere [NH] influenza season) or the B strain from the alternate lineage (TIV-HD2, investigational TIV-HD containing an alternate B strain).

SecondaryGMTRs of Influenza Antibodies (SN Assay) Following Vaccination With Either a High-Dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine or High-Dose Trivalent Influenza Vaccine

GMTRs of anti-influenza antibodies were measured using SN assay for 4 strains: A/H1N1 (A1), A/H3N2 (A2), B Victoria lineage (B1), and B Yamagata lineage (B2). GMTRs were calculated as the ratio of GMTs post vaccination and pre-vaccination.

SecondaryNumber of Participants With Immediate Adverse Event (AEs)

Participants were observed for 30 minutes after vaccination, and any unsolicited systemic AEs occurring during that time was recorded as immediate unsolicited systemic AEs (AEs that were related to the investigational product) in the case report book (CRB). Unsolicited AE was an observed AE that did not fulfill the conditions prelisted in the CRB in terms of symptom and/ or onset post-vaccination. Unsolicited AEs included both serious and non-serious unsolicited AEs. A serious adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was an important medical event.

Adverse events

Collected over Adverse events were collected from Day 0 (post-vaccination) up to 28 days after last vaccination. Solicited Reaction (SR) data were collected up to Day 7 after each vaccination. Serious adverse event data were collected throughout the study (up to 180 days after last vaccination).. Non-serious events are listed at a 5% frequency threshold.
