What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Immunogenicity Endpoint: Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) and GMT Ratio of Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibodies at Day 22 for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria Vaccine Strains

    The GMT ratio is defined as the geometric mean of the postvaccination HI titer for Comparator QIV over the geometric mean of the postvaccination HI titer for aQIV.

    Measured: Day 22

  2. Immunogenicity Endpoint: Seroconversion Rate (SCR) and SCR Difference for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria Vaccine Strains

    The SCR defined as the percentage of subjects with either a prevaccination HI titer <1:10 and a postvaccination (Day 22) HI titer ≥1:40, or with either a prevaccination HI titer ≥1:10 and a ≥4-fold increase in postvaccination HI titer.

    The SCR difference is defined as the Comparator QIV SCR minus the aQIV SCR.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 22

  3. Immunogenicity Endpoint: GMT and GMT Ratio of HI Antibodies at Day 22 for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria Vaccine Strains

    The GMT ratio is defined as the geometric mean of the postvaccination HI titer for Comparator QIV over the geometric mean of the postvaccination HI titer for aQIV.

    Measured: Day 22

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Immunogenicity Endpoint: GMT and GMT Ratio of HI Antibodies at Day 181 for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria Vaccine Strains

    The GMT ratio is defined as the geometric mean of the postvaccination HI titer for Comparator QIV over the geometric mean of the postvaccination HI titer for aQIV.

    Measured: Day 181

  2. Immunogenicity Endpoint: GMT of HI Antibodies on Day 1, Day 22, and Day 181 for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria Vaccine Strains

    GMTs on Day 1 (prior to vaccination), Day 22 (3 weeks after vaccination), and Day 181 (6 months after vaccination) as determined by HI assay against each of the four vaccine strains

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 181

  3. Immunogenicity Endpoint: Geometric Mean Fold Increase (GMFI) for Day 22/Day 1 and Day 181/Day 1 for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria Vaccine Strains

    The GMFI is defined as the geometric mean of the fold increase of postvaccination HI titer over the prevaccination HI titer.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 181

  4. Immunogenicity Endpoint: The Percentage of Subjects With a Titer ≥1:40 at Day 1, Day 22, and Day 181 for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria Vaccine Strains

    Percentage of subjects with a titer ≥1:40 on Day 1, Day 22, and Day 181 as determined by HI assay against each of the four vaccine strains

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 181

  5. Immunogenicity Endpoint: SCR at Day 22 and Day 181 for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria Vaccine Strains

    The SCR defined as the percentage of subjects with either a prevaccination HI titer <1:10 and a postvaccination (Day 22 or Day 181) HI titer ≥1:40, or with either a prevaccination HI titer ≥1:10 and a ≥4-fold increase in postvaccination HI titer.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 181

  6. Safety Endpoint: Solicited Local and Systemic AEs for 7 Days Following Vaccination

    Number and percentage of subjects with solicited local and systemic AEs occurring for 7 days following vaccination

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 7

  7. Safety Endpoint: All Unsolicited AEs for 21 Days Following Vaccination

    The percentage of subjects with at least one unsolicited AE occurring 21 days following vaccination The severity of AEs is based on the maximum severity associated with a Preferred Term for a reported AE. Related AEs include possibly related AEs, probably related AEs and AEs with missing relatedness assessment. The severity and relatedness of AEs were determined by the investigator. For the any AE summary by severity, a subject with multiple AEs is counted according to the highest severity of their reported AEs.

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 22

  8. Safety Endpoint: Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Withdrawal From the Study, and Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)

    The percentage of subjects with any SAE, AE leading to withdrawal, or AESI during the study period

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 271

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing aQIV and Comparator QIV in people with Influenza, Human, run by Seqirus at 29 sites in 3 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 19 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 28 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 29 sites in United States, Germany, Estonia. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Sep 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Immunogenicity Endpoint: Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) and GMT Ratio of Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibodies at Day 22 for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria Vaccine Strains (time frame: Day 22). The study lists 3 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 28 Sep 2023.
