What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Fluarix™Biological
Subjects were administered 1 or 2 doses* intramuscularly, into the non-dominant upper arm for children > 12 months of age, in the anterolateral thigh for children < 12 months.
*Only those subjects between the age of 6 months and < 9 years, who had no history of prior influenza vaccination, received 2 doses at months 0 \& 1.

Subjects were administered 1 or 2 doses* intramuscularly, into the non-dominant upper arm for children > 12 months of age, in the anterolateral thigh for children < 12 months.
*Only those subjects between the age of 6 months and < 9 years, who had no history of prior influenza vaccination, received 2 doses at months 0 \& 1.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Fluarix Group | Experimental | Subjects in this group received Fluarix™ and will be further stratified by 3 age groups
* 1:1 in 6 months to < 36 months
* 1:1 in 3 to < 5 years
* 3:1 in 5 to < 18 years Receives: Biological: Fluarix™ |
| Fluzone Group | Active comparator | Subjects in this group received Fluzone and will be further stratified by 3 age groups

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of Serum Haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) Antibodies
GMTs and their 95% confidence interval are presented for all 3 viral strains comprised in the vaccine.
Measured: 21 or 28 days after last vaccine dose
Number of Seroconverted Subjects
Seroconverted subjects are defined as subjects with either a pre-vaccination HI titer <1:10 and a post-vaccination titer ≥ 1:40, or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and a minimum 4-fold increase at post-vaccination titer.
Data are presented for all 3 viral strains comprised in the vaccine.
Measured: 21 or 28 days after last vaccine dose
Number of Subjects Reporting Rare Serious Events
Rare serious event is defined as any untoward medical event with an occurrence rate of ≥1/300 that:
- resulted in death,
- was life-threatening,
- required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization,
- resulted in disability/incapacity, or
- was a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.
Measured: Up to 6 months after vaccination
Secondary outcomes (5)
Number of Seroprotected Subjects
Seroprotected subjects are defined as vaccinees with a serum HI titer ≥ 1:40. Data are presented for all 3 viral strains comprised in the vaccine.
Measured: Before (PRE) and 21 or 28 days after (POST) the last vaccine dose
Number of Initially Unprotected Subjects With at Least a 4 Fold Increase in HI Titer
Initially unprotected subjects are subjects with a baseline HI titer < 1:40. Data are presented for all 3 viral strains comprised in the vaccine.
Measured: 21 or 28 days after last vaccine dose
Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited Local and General Symptoms
Solicited local symptoms assessed include pain, redness, and swelling. Solicited general symptoms assessed include drowsiness, fever, irritability, loss of appetite, arthralgia, fatigue, headache, muscle aches, and shivering.
Data across doses are presented. Any = at least one symptom irrespective of intensity/relationship to vaccination; Grade 3: symptom that prevented normal everyday activities; Related: considered by the investigator as related to the study vaccination.
Measured: During a 4-day follow-up period after each vaccination
Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events
An Adverse Event is 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.
Any = at least one symptom irrespective of intensity and relationship to vaccination; Grade 3 = preventing normal activity; Related = considered by the investigator to be causally related to the study vaccination.
Measured: Within 28 days following vaccination
Number of Subjects Reporting New Onset Chronic Illnesses and/or Serious Adverse Events (SAE)
SAE: any untoward medical occurrence that
- resulted in death,
- was life-threatening,
- required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization,
- resulted in disability/incapacity, or
- was a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.
Examples of possible new onset chronic illnesses include but are not limited to diabetes, asthma, allergies, autoimmune disease, cancer, neuropathic disorders.
Measured: Up to 6 months after vaccination

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Fluarix™ and Fluzone in people with Influenza, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 40 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 8 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 40 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Dec 2008). 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?
Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of Serum Haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) Antibodies (time frame: 21 or 28 days after last vaccine dose). 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?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00383123, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 8 Jun 2018.
