This is a study to assess the immune (antibody) response and safety of a Seqirus split virion, inactivated Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (Seqirus QIV), in comparison with a US licensed 2016/2017 Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (comparator QIV) in a healthy pediatric population 6 months through 59 months of age.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Seqirus Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza VaccineBiological

    Also called Seqirus QIV

    The Seqirus study vaccine is a sterile, thimerosal-free suspension containing 60 mcg total hemagglutinin antigen per 0.5 mL (15 mcg each of the four recommended influenza strains for the Northern Hemisphere 2016/2017 influenza season). Subjects will receive one or two doses according to the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices for the United States 2016-17 Influenza Season. Preferred sites for intramuscular injection are the anterolateral aspect of the thigh in infants 6 months through 11 months of age, the anterolateral aspect of the thigh (or the deltoid muscle of the arm if muscle mass is adequate) in children 12 months through 35 months of age.

  • Comparator Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza VaccineBiological

    Also called Comparator QIV

    The comparator Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza vaccine is a US-licensed product containing four recommended influenza strains for the Northern Hemisphere 2016/2017 influenza season. Subjects will receive one or two doses according to the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices for the United States 2016-17 Influenza Season. Preferred sites for intramuscular injection of the non-dominant arm in children 36 months through 59 months of age.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) Ratio of Each Virus Strain.

    Noninferiority of Seqirus QIV compared to comparator QIV was assessed by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody geometric mean titer (GMT) for each viral strain included in the vaccines. The GMT ratio is defined as the geometric mean of the postvaccination HI titer for the US-licensed comparator QIV over the geometric mean of the postvaccination HI titer for Seqirus QIV.

    B/VIC = B/Victoria B/YAM = B/Yamagata

    Measured: Postvaccination (28 days after last vaccination)

  2. The Difference in Seroconversion Rate (SCR) for Each Virus Strain.

    Noninferiority of Seqirus QIV compared to comparator QIV will be assessed by seroconversion rate (SCR) for each viral strain. SCR is defined as the percentage of subjects with either a prevaccination HI titer < 1:10 and a postvaccination HI titer ≥ 1:40, or a prevaccination HI titer ≥ 1:10 and a ≥ 4-fold increase in postvaccination HI titer. For the SCR comparison, the difference between the SCR for each vaccine (for each strain) will be determined.

    Measured: Postvaccination (28 days after last vaccination)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Number of Participants With Solicited Local Adverse Reactions and Solicited Systemic Adverse Events (AE)

    Frequency and severity of solicited local adverse reactions and systemic AEs for 7 days after each vaccination dose

    Measured: Postvaccination (up to 7 days after vaccination)

  2. Number of Participants With Cellulitis-like Reactions

    Frequency of cellulitis-like reactions for at least 28 days after each vaccination dose

    Measured: Postvaccination (up to 28 days after each vaccination)

  3. Number of Participants With Unsolicited AEs

    Frequency and severity of unsolicited AEs for at least 28 days after each vaccination dose

    Measured: Postvaccination (up to 28 days after vaccination)

  4. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAE)

    Frequency of SAEs for 180 days after the last vaccination dose. SAE = serious adverse events, AESI = adverse event of special interest

    Measured: 180 days after the last vaccination dose.

  5. Geometric Mean of Hemagglutination Titers (HI GMTs) Prevaccination (Day 1) and Postvaccination (Study Exit Visit) of Each Virus Strain

    The humoral immune response will be assessed for Seqirus QIV \& comparator QIV. Serum HI titers against the 4 influenza vaccine strains will be used to calculate geometric mean of HI titers prevaccination \& postvaccination.

    Measured: 28 days after last vaccination.

  6. Seroconversion Rates (SCRs) of Each Virus Strain

    The humoral immune response will be assessed for Seqirus QIV \& comparator QIV. Serum HI titers against the 4 influenza vaccine strains will be used to calculate SCRs defined as the % of subjects with either a prevaccination HI titer < 1:10 and a postvaccination HI titer ≥ 1:40 or a prevaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and a ≥ 4-fold increase in postvaccination titer.

    Measured: 28 days after last vaccination

  7. Seroprotection Rates of Each Virus Strain

    The humoral immune response will be assessed for Seqirus QIV \& comparator QIV. Serum HI titers against the 4 influenza vaccine strains will be used to calculate the percentage of subjects with a titer ≥40 (seroprotection rates) at Day 1 and at Study Exit Visit.

    Measured: 28 days after last vaccination.

  8. Geometric Mean Fold Increase (GMFI) of Each Virus Strain

    The humoral immune response will be assessed for Seqirus QIV \& comparator QIV. Serum HI titers against the 4 influenza vaccine strains will be used to calculate GMFIs, defined as the geometric mean fold titer change (rise) from Day 1 to Study Exit Visit.

    Measured: Prevaccination (Day 1) and Postvaccination (28 days after last vaccination)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Seqirus Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine and Comparator Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine in people with Influenza, Human, run by Seqirus at 39 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 3 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 23 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 39 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 23 Jan 2019). 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?

The Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) Ratio of Each Virus Strain. (time frame: Postvaccination (28 days after last vaccination)). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02914275, 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 23 Jan 2019.
