What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Aged 6 Months to <9 Years Who Provided Serum Samples for Analysis: Groups 1 and 2

    Blood samples were collected from participants at first vaccination at Visit 1 (Day 1; pre-vaccination) and at Day 28 after final vaccination either at Visit 2 (Visit 1 + 28 days) for participants who received 1 dose of influenza vaccine; or at Visit 3 (Visit 2 + 28 days) for participants who received 2 doses of influenza vaccine as recommended by ACIP. Collected blood samples were provided to Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) for further analysis by World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to support formulation recommendations for subsequent influenza vaccines.

    Measured: Visit 1 (Day 1; pre-vaccination) and 28 days post-final vaccination at Visit 2 (for participants with 1 vaccination)/Visit 3 (for participants with 2 vaccination)

  2. Number of Participants Aged >=65 Years Who Provided Serum Samples for Analysis: Group 3

    Blood samples were collected from participants at first vaccination at Visit 1 (Day 1; pre-vaccination) and 21 days after vaccination (Visit 2). Collected blood samples were provided to CBER for further analysis by WHO, CDC, and FDA to support formulation recommendations for subsequent influenza vaccines.

    Measured: Visit 1 (Day 1; pre-vaccination) and 21 days post-vaccination (Visit 2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine, No Preservative (0.5-mL dose), 2021-2022 formulation and Fluzone High-Dose Quadrivalent vaccine (0.7-mL dose), 2021-2022 formulation in people with Influenza Immunization and Healthy Volunteers, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 2 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 6 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 12 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 2 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 14 Sep 2022). 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?

Number of Participants Aged 6 Months to <9 Years Who Provided Serum Samples for Analysis: Groups 1 and 2 (time frame: Visit 1 (Day 1; pre-vaccination) and 28 days post-final vaccination at Visit 2 (for participants with 1 vaccination)/Visit 3 (for participants with 2 vaccination)). The study lists 2 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 12 Sep 2025.
