Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the immunologic noninferiority of Q/LAIV to FluMist in children 2 to 17 years of age.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The randomized, double-blind study was designed to demonstrate the immunologic noninferiority of Q/LAIV compared to FluMist in children 2-17 years by comparing the strain-specific post-dose geometric mean titers of hemagglutination inhibition antibodies. Children were randomized 3:1:1 to receive Q/LAIV or one of two FluMist vaccines. Subjects 9-17 years of age received a single dose, and those 2-8 years of age received two doses one month apart. Serum was obtained 1 month after dose 1 except in influenza vaccine-naive subjects 2-8 years old, when it was obtained after dose 2. Safety and tolerability were also assessed.

Q/LAIV (MEDI3250)

Q/LAIV (quadrivalent live attenuated influenza vaccine) (MEDI3250) was supplied in the Becton Dickinson Accuspray device that delivers a 0.2 mL total volume intranasal dose divided into each nostril (ie, administered as 0.1 mL per nostril). Each 0.2 mL dose contained 10\^7.0 ± 0.5 fluorescent focus units (FFU) of each of 4 temperature sensitive, cold-adapted, attenuated, 6:2 resassortant influenza strains (A/H1N1 \[A/South Dakota/6/2007\], A/H3N2 \[A/Uruguay/716/2007\], B/Victoria \[B/Malaysia/2506/2004\], and B/Yamagata \[B/Florida/4/2006\]).

FluMist/B/Yamagata

FluMist/B/Yamagata (trivalent live attenuated influenza vaccine) was supplied in the BD Accuspray device that delivers a 0.2 mL total volume intranasal dose divided into each nostril (ie, administered as 0.1 mL per nostril).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Male or female
* Age 2 through 17 years at the time of randomization
* Written informed consent and any locally required authorization (eg, HIPAA in the USA, EU Data Privacy Directive in the EU, and written informed assent if applicable) obtained from the subject/legal representative prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations
* Females of childbearing potential, unless surgically sterile (ie, bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or hysterectomy), has sterile male partner, is premenarchal, or practices abstinence, must have used an effective method of avoiding pregnancy (including oral, transdermal, or implanted contraceptives, intrauterine device, female condom with spermicide, diaphragm with spermicide, cervical cap with spermicide, or use of a condom with spermicide by the sexual partner) for 30 days prior to the first dose of investigational product, and must agree to continue using such precautions for 60 days after the final dose of investigational product
* A subject who is considered by the investigator to be at risk of pregnancy must also have a negative urine pregnancy test at screening and, if screening and Day 0 do not occur on the same day, on the day of vaccination prior to randomization.

* A history of epilepsy, seizure, or an evolving neurological condition except that of a single febrile seizure that occurred 3 or more years prior to enrollment would not disqualify a subject
