Study summary

The aim of the study is to to assess the immunogenicity and safety of a quadrivalent influenza vaccine in a multi-dose presentation compared to a quadrivalent influenza vaccine in single-dose presentation, in children aged 6 months to 17 years.

Read the detailed description

Participants aged 9 to 17 years will receive one dose of either the multi-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine or the quadrivalent influenza vaccine in a single-dose presentation and participants aged 6 months to 8 years will receive 2 doses of either vaccine, 28 days apart.

All participants will provide a pre-vaccination blood sample on Day 0 and a post-vaccination blood sample either on Day 28 (participants aged 9 to 17 years) or on Day 56 (participants aged 6 months to 8 years) for immunogenicity testing.

All participants will be followed for safety evaluation up to 6 months after the last vaccination.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Antibodies after Vaccination with Multi-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine or Single-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine

    Anti-hemagglutinin (HA) antibody titers against the 4 influenza strains are assessed by a hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay

    Time frame: Day 28 (post-last vaccination)

  2. GMT Ratio after Vaccination with Multi-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine or Single-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine

    Anti-HA antibody titers against the 4 influenza strains are assessed by an HAI assay. GMT ratio is assessed as the individual ratio of post-/pre-vaccination titers

    Time frame: Day 28 (post-last vaccination)

  3. Seroconversion Rates after Vaccination with Multi-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine or Single-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine

    Anti-HA antibody titers against the 4 influenza strains are assessed by an HAI assay. Seroconversion is defined as either post-vaccination titer ≥ 40 (1/dil), or pre-vaccination titer ≥ 10 (1/dil) and ≥ 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer

    Time frame: Day 28 (post-last vaccination)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Reporting Solicited Injection Site or Systemic Reactions after Vaccination with Multi-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine or Single-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine

    Solicited injection site reactions are tenderness/pain,erythema, swelling, induration, ecchymosis, and solicited systemic reactions are fever, vomiting, crying abnormal, drowsiness, appetite lost, irritability (for children ≤ 23 months), and fever, headache, malaise, myalgia, and shivering (for children 2 to 17 years)

    Time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) to Day 7 (after any vaccination)

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Dec 2017 to primary completion in Mar 2018, 3 months.

Of 119 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Influenza, Human, half reached primary completion within 8 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 14. This study's 3 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 154 studies reached it within 8 months; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 15.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 25, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
