About this study

Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity of Quadrivalent Recombinant Influenza Vaccine Formulations Containing Different H3 Hemagglutinin Antigens Without or With Adjuvant in Healthy Adult Subjects

The primary objectives of the study are:

  • To describe the safety profile of the different formulations in all participants
  • To describe the hemagglutinin inhibition (HAI) and seroneutralization (SN) antibody responses against hemagglutinin (H1, H3, B/Victoria, and B/Yamagata) antigens present in the control vaccine in all groups at all timepoints.

The secondary objectives are:

  • To describe antigenic coverage in each group by assessing the HAI and SN antibody responses against a panel of H3 antigens (not present in any of the vaccine formulations).
  • To describe SN antibody responses in each group against each of the H3 antigens.
  • To compare H3 HAI and SN antibody responses for the groups with quadrivalent recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV) formulations with H3 antigens to those of the quadrivalent RIV control group.
  • To compare the HAI and SN antibody responses for the groups with quadrivalent RIV formulation with adjuvant to the group without adjuvant.

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 28

  4. 2-fold and 4-fold rise in SN antibody titers against each of the H3 antigens

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Quadrivalent RIV with H3 strain 1, Quadrivalent RIV with H3 strain 1 and adjuvant and Quadrivalent RIV with H3 strain 2 in people with Influenza Immunisation and Healthy Volunteers, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 5 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 28 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with immediate adverse events (time frame: Within 30 minutes after vaccination). The study lists 11 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Sep 2025.
