What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Absolute Vaccine Efficacy (VE) of aQIV Versus Non-influenza Comparator Based on RT-PCR-confirmed Influenza Due to Any Strain Using Protocol Defined ILI Definition.
The primary efficacy endpoint was the time of first-occurrence of RT-PCR-confirmed influenza due to any strain of influenza regardless of antigenic match to the strains selected for the seasonal vaccine from Day 21 through 180 days after vaccination or end of the influenza season, whichever is longer, using protocol defined ILI definition. Absolute vaccine efficacy is VE=1-HR, where HR is the hazard ratio of aQIV vs non-influenza comparator estimated by the Cox proportional hazards model for the primary endpoint.
Measured: Day 21 to Day 180 after vaccination or end of influenza season, whichever is longer
Safety Endpoint: The Percentage of Subjects in the Solicited Safety Subset With Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Events (AE)
Safety of vaccination was assessed in terms of percentage of subjects reporting solicited local and systemic AEs up to 7 days after vaccination.
Measured: Day 1 through Day 7
Safety Endpoint: Percentage of Subjects With Medically-attended Adverse Events (MAAEs)
Safety of vaccination was assessed in terms of percentage of subjects reporting medically attended AEs within 30 days after of first occurrence RT-PCR confirmed influenza.
Measured: Within 30 days after of first occurrence RT-PCR confirmed Influenza
Safety Endpoint: Percentages of Subjects With Any Unsolicited AE
Safety of vaccination was assessed in terms of percentage of subjects reporting unsolicited AEs up to 21 days after vaccination.
Measured: Day 1 through Day 366
Safety Endpoint: Percentages of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAE), AEs Leading to Withdrawal, New Onset of Chronic Disease (NOCD), and Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI)

Absolute vaccine efficacy is VE=1-HR, where HR is the hazard ratio of aQIV vs non-influenza comparator estimated by the Cox proportional hazards model for the secondary efficacy endpoint.
Measured: Day 21 to Day 180 after vaccination or end of influenza season, whichever is longer
Absolute Vaccine Efficacy (VE) of aQIV Versus Non-influenza Comparator Based on Culture Confirmed Influenza Due to Any Strain of Influenza Antigenically Matched to the Strains Selected for the Seasonal Vaccine Using Protocol Defined ILI Definition.

The log-transformed antibody titers (GMT) at Day 1 and Day 22 were evaluated using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model including factors for site/country, pre-vaccination titer, age, and comorbidity.
Measured: Days 1 and 22
Immunogenicity Endpoint: Geometric Mean Ratio (GMR) of Post-vaccination HI Titer Over the Pre-vaccination HI Titer
The GMR was assessed as the postvaccination HI titer divided by the prevaccination HI titer (Day 22/Day 1).
Measured: Day 22/Day 1
Immunogenicity Endpoint: Percentages of Subjects With an HI Titer ≥1:40
The percentage of subjects vaccinated with aQIV with a HI antibody titers ≥1:40 was assessed for each of the 4 strains Assessment criteria was considered fulfilled if the lower bound of the two-sided 95% CI for percent of subjects with HI antibody titer ≥1:40 met or exceeded 60% at Day 22.
Measured: Day 22
Immunogenicity Endpoint: Percentages of Subjects Who Achieved Seroconversion (SCR)
The percentage of subjects achieving SCR at Day 22 was assessed for each of the 4 strains. SCR is defined as HI titer ≥1:40 for subjects seronegative at baseline (HI titer <1:10) or a minimum 4-fold increase in HI titer for subjects seropositive at baseline (HI titer ≥1:10) on Day 22. Assessment criteria was considered fulfilled if the lower bound of the two-sided 95% CI for the percentage of subjects achieving an HI antibody SCR met or exceeded 30% at Day 22.
Measured: Day 22

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 9 Jun 2020). 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?
Absolute Vaccine Efficacy (VE) of aQIV Versus Non-influenza Comparator Based on RT-PCR-confirmed Influenza Due to Any Strain Using Protocol Defined ILI Definition. (time frame: Day 21 to Day 180 after vaccination or end of influenza season, whichever is longer). The study lists 5 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 NCT02587221, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 17 Jun 2020.
