Interventions

• BiologicalInvestigational aQIVc

  Investigational Adjuvanted Cell-derived Quadrivalent Influenza vaccine, containing four influenza virus strains (A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata and Victoria lineage) recommended by the WHO (World Health Organization) for quadrivalent vaccines for the respective season.

• Biologicallicensed QIVr

  Recombinant Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (Flublok Quadrivalent/Supemtek) containing four influenza virus strains (A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata and Victoria lineage) recommended by the WHO for quadrivalent vaccines for the respective season.

• Biologicallicensed aQIV

  Adjuvanted, egg-derived Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (Fluad) containing four influenza virus strains (A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata and Victoria lineage) recommended by the WHO for quadrivalent vaccines for the respective season.

Primary outcomes

1. Immunogenicity Endpoint: Humoral immune responses of 3 lots of aQIVc compared in pairs in terms of Day 29 GMT ratio between each pair among the 3 lots, from antibody titers measured via HI assay.

   HI assay will be measured using cell-derived target viruses for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria vaccine strains.

   Time frame: Day 29

2. Immunogenicity Endpoint: Humoral immune responses of aQIVc in comparison with QIVr and aQIV vaccines in terms of Day 29 GMT and GMT ratio of antibodies measured via HI assay.

   HI assay will be measured using cell-derived target viruses for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria vaccine strains. Noninferiority of aQIVc versus comparator (QIVr or aQIV) will be demonstrated if the lower limit (LL) of the 2-sided 97.5% CI for the Day 29 GMT ratio (aQIVc/comparator) is ≥0.67 for each of the 4 vaccine strains.

   Time frame: Day 29

3. Immunogenicity Endpoint: Humoral immune responses of aQIVc in comparison with QIVr and aQIV vaccines in terms of Day 1 to Day 29 SCR and SCR difference, from antibody titers measured via HI assay.

   HI assay will be measured using cell-derived target viruses for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria vaccine strains. SCR is the percentage of subjects with seroconversion (defined as either a prevaccination \[Day 1\] titer \<1:10 and a postvaccination \[Day 29\] titer ≥1:40, or a prevaccination titer ≥1:10 and a ≥4-fold increase in postvaccination titer). Noninferiority of aQIVc versus comparator (QIVr or aQIV) will be demonstrated if the lower limit (LL) of the 2-sided 97.5% CI for the difference in SCR (aQIVc minus comparator) is ≥-10% for each of the 4 vaccine strains.

   Time frame: Day 1 and Day 29

Secondary outcomes

1. Immunogenicity Endpoint: Humoral immune responses of aQIVc in comparison with aQIV vaccine in terms of Day 29 SCR and SCR difference, GMT and GMT ratio of antibodies measured via HI assay in subjects 65 years and older.

   HI assay will be measured using cell-derived target viruses for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria vaccine strains. Noninferiority will be demonstrated if the LL of the 2-sided adjusted CI for the Day 29 GMT ratio (aQIVc/comparator) is ≥0.67 for each of the 4 vaccine strains, and the LL of the 2-sided adjusted CI for the difference in SCR (aQIVc minus comparator) is ≥-10% for each of the 4 vaccine strains.

   Time frame: Day 1 and Day 29

2. Immunogenicity Endpoint: Humoral immune responses of aQIVc in comparison with QIVr and aQIV vaccines in terms of Day 29 GMT and GMT ratio of antibodies measured via HI assay.

   HI assay will be measured using cell-derived target viruses for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria vaccine strains. Superiority of aQIVc versus comparator (QIVr and aQIV) will be demonstrated if the LL of the 2-sided 97.5% CI for the inter-group GMT ratio (aQIVc/comparator) is \>1.0 for each of the 4 vaccine strains.

   Time frame: Day 29
