Liquid suspension for intramuscular injection
Standard-dose trivalent influenza vaccine (Split virion, Inactivated)Biological
Liquid suspension for intramuscular injection
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| IIV-HD | Experimental | Participants will receive a single intramuscular (IM) injection of IIV-HD at Day 1 Receives: Biological: High-Dose trivalent influenza vaccine (Split virion, Inactivated) |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Geometric mean titers (GMTs) against influenza vaccine antibodies (Ab)
GMTs of anti-influenza antibodies were measured using hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay for 3 influenza virus strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B/Victoria lineage.
Measured: Day 1 and Day 29
Percentage of participants with seroconversion for influenza vaccine antibodies
Anti-influenza antibodies will be measured using HAI assay for 3 influenza virus strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B/Victoria lineage. Seroconversion status 28 days after vaccination (ie, preinjection Ab titer < 10 [1/dil] at Day 1 and post-injection Ab titer≥ 40 [1/dil] at Day 29 or preinjection Ab titer ≥ 10 [1/dil] at Day 1 and a ≥ 4-fold increase in titer [1/dil] at Day 29).
Measured: Day 29
Secondary outcomes (10)
Geometric Mean of Individual Titer Ratio (GMTR)
GMTRs will be measured using HAI assay for 3 influenza virus strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B/Victoria lineage. Individual HAI antibody titer ratio Day 29/Day 1.
Measured: Day 1 and Day 29
Percentage of participants with detectable HAI titer (HAI titer ≥ 10 [1/dil])
Anti-influenza antibodies will be measured using HAI assay for 3 influenza virus strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B/Victoria lineage. Percentage of participants with HAI antibody titer >=10 (1/dil)
Measured: Day 1 and Day 29
Percentage of participants with HAI titer ≥ 40 (1/dil)
Anti-influenza antibodies will be measured using HAI assay for 3 influenza virus strains: A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B/Victoria lineage. Percentage of participants with HAI antibody titers ≥ 40 (1/dil)
Measured: Day 29
Number of participants with immediate adverse events (AEs)
Immediate events are recorded to capture medically relevant unsolicited systemic AEs which occur within the first 30 minutes after vaccination.
Measured: Within 30 minutes after vaccination
Number of participants with solicited injection site reactions
Solicited injection site reactions (pre-listed in the participant diary and CRF)
Measured: Up to 7 days after vaccination
Number of participants with solicited systemic reaction
Solicited systemic reactions (pre-listed in the participant diary and CRF)
Measured: Up to 7 days after vaccination
Number of participants with unsolicited AEs
An unsolicited AE is an observed AE that does not fulfill the conditions of solicited reactions, ie, pre-listed in the CRF in terms of diagnosis and onset window post-vaccination.
Measured: Up to 28 days after vaccination
Number of participants with medically attended adverse events (MAAEs)
An MAAE is a new-onset or a worsening of a condition that prompts the participant or participant's parent(s)/legally acceptable representative(s) to seek unplanned medical advice at a physician's office or Emergency Department.
Measured: Throughout the study, approximately 180 days
Number of participants with adverse events of special interest (AESIs)
An adverse event of special interest (serious or non-serious) is one of scientific and medical concern specific to the Sponsor's study intervention or program, for which ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by the investigator to the Sponsor can be appropriate.
Measured: Throughout the study, approximately 180 days
Number of participants with serious adverse events (SAEs)
A SAE is defined as any adverse event that, at any dose resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was other medically important event.
Measured: Throughout the study, approximately 180 days

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing High-Dose trivalent influenza vaccine (Split virion, Inactivated) and Standard-dose trivalent influenza vaccine (Split virion, Inactivated) in people with Influenza, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 20 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 8 inclusion and 15 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 3 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 20 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 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?
Geometric mean titers (GMTs) against influenza vaccine antibodies (Ab) (time frame: Day 1 and Day 29). 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 3 Dec 2025.
