About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Observer-blind, Randomised Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of One and Two Administrations of Pandemic Monovalent (H5N1) Influenza Vaccine (Adjuvanted Split Virus Formulation) in Adults Aged 18 Years and Older

Today, the leading contender for the next pandemic of influenza is H5N1, a strain of avian virus. Prevention and control will depend on the rapid production and worldwide distribution of specific pandemic vaccines. Candidate 'pandemic-like' vaccines must be developed and tested in clinical trials to determine the most optimal formulation and the best vaccination schedule. This study is designed to test in healthy adults aged above 18 years the reactogenicity and immunogenicity of one and two administrations of a candidate pandemic H5N1 vaccine formulated from Split Virus.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Solicited Local Symptoms

    Assessed solicited local symptoms were ecchymosis, induration, pain, redness and swelling. Any = occurrence of symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 Pain = pain that prevented normal everyday activities Grade 3 ecchymosis/induration/redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond (>) 50 millimeters (mm) in diameter

    Measured: During a 7 day follow-up period after each dose of vaccine and overall.

  2. Number of Subjects With Solicited General Symptoms (Dose 1)

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were arthralgia, fatigue, fever [defined as axillary temperature equal to or above (≥) 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)], headache, myalgia, shivering, sweating. Any = occurrence of symptom regardless of intensity grade and relationship to vaccination. Grade 3 symptom = symptoms that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 Fever = fever higher than (>) 39.0 °C. Related = symptom considered by the investigator to be casually related with the study vaccination.

    Measured: During the 7-day (Days 0-6) after Dose 1

  3. Number of Subjects With Solicited General Symptoms (Dose 2)

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were arthralgia, fatigue, fever [defined as axillary temperature equal to or above (≥) 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)], headache, myalgia, shivering, sweating. Any = occurrence of symptom regardless of intensity grade and relationship to vaccination. Grade 3 symptom = symptoms that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 Fever = fever higher than (>) 39.0 °C. Related = symptom considered by the investigator to be casually related with the study vaccination.

    Measured: During the 7-day (Days 0-6) after Dose 2

  4. Number of Subjects With Solicited General Symptoms (Across Doses)

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were arthralgia, fatigue, fever [defined as axillary temperature equal to or above (≥) 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)], headache, myalgia, shivering, sweating. Any = occurrence of symptom regardless of intensity grade and relationship to vaccination. Grade 3 symptom = symptoms that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 Fever = fever higher than (>) 39.0 °C. Related = symptom considered by the investigator to be casually related with the study vaccination.

    Measured: During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post vaccination across dosses

  5. Number of Subjects With Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination. Grade 3 AE = an AE which prevented normal, everyday activities. Related = AE assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination. Related symptoms were not available.

    Measured: During the 21st Day (Days 0-20) post Dose 1

  6. Number of Subjects With AEs

    An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination. Grade 3 AE = an AE which prevented normal, everyday activities. Related = AE assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination. Related symptoms were not available.

    Measured: During the 30 Day (Days 0-29) post Dose 2

  7. Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity.

    Measured: From Day 0 to Day 180

  8. Number of Subjects With New Onset Chronic Diseases (NOCDs)

    NOCDs include autoimmune disorders, asthma, type I diabetes, allergies.

    Measured: From Day 0 to Day 180

  9. Number of Subjects With Medically Significant Conditions (MSCs)

    MSCs prompting emergency room or physician visits that were not related to common diseases or routine visits. Common diseases included upper respiratory infections, sinusitis, pharyngitis, gastroenteritis, urinary tract infections, cervico-vaginal yeast infections, menstrual cycle abnormalities and injury.

    Measured: From Day 0 to Day 51

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Anti- Haemagglutinin Antibody (Anti-HA) Titers Against Avian Influenza A Subtype H5N1

    Anti-HA antibody titers were expressed as Geometric Mean Tiyers (GMTs).

    Measured: At Day 0 (PRE), 21 and 42

  2. Number of Seroconverted Subjects Against H5N1

    Seroconversion rate for Haemagglutinin antibody response was defined as the number of vaccinees who had either a pre-vaccination titer lower than (<) 1:10 and a post-vaccination titer greater than or equal to (≥) 1:40 or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and at least a fourfold increase in post-vaccination titer. Seroconversion rate for Neutralising antibody response was defined as the percentage of vaccinees with a minimum 4-fold increase in titer at post-vaccination.

    Measured: At Day 21 and Day 42

  3. Seroconversion Factor for Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibodies Against A/Vietnam Influenza Strain

    Seroconversion factor was defined as the fold increase in serum HI GMTs post-vaccination compared to day 0.

    Measured: At Day 21 and Day 42

  4. Number of Seroprotected Subjects Against A/Vietnam Influenza Strain

    Seroprotection rate was defined as the number of vaccinees with a serum HI titer ≥1:40 that usually is accepted as indicating protection.

    Measured: At Day 0 (PRE), Day 21 and Day 42
