Brief Summary

This present study, a phase II, open label study will evaluate the immunogenicity, tolerability and safety of an adjuvanted, inactivated Novel Swine Origin A/H1N1 Monovalent Subunit Influenza Virus Vaccine in healthy subjects aged 18 years and above. This study will explore the effect of the previous and concomitant exposure to a seasonal influenza vaccination to the immunogenicity and safety profile of two different doses of an adjuvanted H1N1sw vaccine.

Detailed Description

At enrolment, subjects were stratified into two age strata (18 to 60 years, over 60 years). Total duration of the study is eight weeks, which include two weeks for enrolment and 6 weeks for study participation. Vaccinations were to be administered on day 1 and day 22. Blood samples were collected at day 1 (baseline, before the first vaccination), at day 22 (before the second vaccination), at day 29 (one week after the second vaccination) and at day 43 (three weeks after the second vaccination). Sera were tested by Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) and Microneutralization (MN) assays. Safety was assessed until 3 weeks after the first and second vaccination.
