About this study
Official title: A Phase 3/3b, Randomized, Observer-blind, Multicenter Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Immunogenicity of Fluad and Fluad Quadrivalent Compared to a Non-adjuvanted Influenza Vaccine in Adults ≥65 Years of Age
This Phase 3 study is a randomized, observer-blind study of MF59-adjuvanted influenza vaccine (aQIV or aTIV) compared with a non-adjuvanted influenza vaccine (QIV or TIV) in adults ≥65 years of age. The aim of the study is to evaluate MF59-adjuvanted influenza vaccine compared with non-adjuvanted influenza vaccine in the prevention of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed influenza A and/or B in subjects ≥65 years of age.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
aQIV or aTIVBiological
Also called Fluad Tetra/Quadrivalent or Fluad
Participants receive a 0.5-mL intramuscular dose of aQIV or aTIV on Day 1. A 0.5 mL dose of aQIV contains nominally 15 µg of hemagglutinin (HA) of each of the 2 influenza type A strains and each of the 2 influenza B strains (total of 60 µg HA). A 0.5 mL dose of aTIV contains nominally 15 µg of HA of each of the 2 influenza type A strains and of the influenza B strain (total of 45 µg HA). The strain composition of aQIV and aTIV is that recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for quadrivalent and trivalent influenza vaccines, respectively, contemporaneous to the timing of the study.
QIV or TIVBiological
Participants receive a 0.5-mL intramuscular dose of the non-adjuvanted QIV or TIV on Day 1. A 0.5 mL dose of QIV contains nominally 15 μg of HA of each of the 2 influenza type A strains and each of the 2 influenza B strains (total of 60 μg HA). A 0.5 mL dose of TIV contains nominally 15 μg of HA of each of the 2 influenza type A strains and of the influenza B strain (total of 45 μg HA). The strain composition of QIV and TIV is that recommended by the WHO for quadrivalent and trivalent influenza vaccines, respectively, contemporaneous to the timing of the study.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| MF59-adjuvanted influenza vaccine | Experimental | MF59-adjuvanted QIV containing 2 influenza type A strains and 2 influenza type B strains or MF59-adjuvanted TIV containing 2 influenza type A strains and 1 influenza type B strain Receives: Biological: aQIV or aTIV |
| Non-adjuvanted influenza vaccine | Other | Non-adjuvanted QIV containing 2 influenza type A strains and 2 influenza type B strains or Non-adjuvanted TIV containing 2 influenza type A strains and 1 influenza type B strain Receives: Biological: QIV or TIV |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Efficacy Endpoint: First-occurrence of RT-PCR-confirmed influenza, due to any influenza Type A and/or B virus (regardless of antigenic match), using the protocol-defined ILI definition
ILI = influenza-like illness; RT-PCR = reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction
Measured: From 14 days after vaccination (ie study day 15) and until the end of influenza season (typically end of May for Northern Hemisphere [NH] influenza season and end of November for Southern Hemisphere [SH] influenza season)
Secondary outcomes (14)
Efficacy Endpoint: First-occurrence of RT-PCR-confirmed influenza, due to any influenza Type A and/or B virus (regardless of antigenic match), using the protocol-defined ILI definition
Measured: From 14 days after vaccination (ie study day 15) and until the end of influenza season (typically end of May for NH influenza season and end of November for SH influenza season)
Efficacy Endpoint: First-occurrence of culture-confirmed influenza, due to influenza Type A and/or B virus antigenically matched to the vaccine strains selected for the seasonal vaccine, using the protocol-defined ILI definition
Measured: From 14 days after vaccination (ie study day 15) and until the end of influenza season (typically end of May for NH influenza season and end of November for SH influenza season)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This Phase 3 study is a randomized, observer-blind study of MF59-adjuvanted influenza vaccine (aQIV or aTIV) compared with a non-adjuvanted influenza vaccine (QIV or TIV) in adults ≥65 years of age. The aim of the study is to evaluate MF59-adjuvanted influenza vaccine compared with non-adjuvanted influenza vaccine in the prevention of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed influenza A and/or B in subjects ≥65 years of age.

Interventions
| Intervention | Type | Arms |
|---|---|---|
| aQIV or aTIVAlso: Fluad Tetra/Quadrivalent or FluadParticipants receive a 0.5-mL intramuscular dose of aQIV or aTIV on Day 1. A 0.5 mL dose of aQIV contains nominally 15 µg of hemagglutinin (HA) of each of the 2 influenza type A strains and each of the 2 influenza B strains (total of 60 µg HA). A 0.5 mL dose of aTIV contains nominally 15 µg of HA of each of the 2 influenza type A strains and of the influenza B strain (total of 45 µg HA). The strain composition of aQIV and aTIV is that recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for quadrivalent and trivalent influenza vaccines, respectively, contemporaneous to the timing of the study. | Biological | MF59-adjuvanted influenza vaccine |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing aQIV or aTIV and QIV or TIV in people with Influenza, Human, run by Seqirus at 255 sites in 21 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 4 inclusion and 16 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 2 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 255 sites in United States, Bulgaria, Australia, Philippines, South Africa and 16 more countries. 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?
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?
Efficacy Endpoint: First-occurrence of RT-PCR-confirmed influenza, due to any influenza Type A and/or B virus (regardless of antigenic match), using the protocol-defined ILI definition (time frame: From 14 days after vaccination (ie study day 15) and until the end of influenza season (typically end of May for Northern Hemisphere [NH] influenza season and end of November for Southern Hemisphere [SH] influenza season)). 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 2 Sep 2026.
