Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Hypothesis: Reduced HA dose IIV formulated in MAS-1 adjuvant (MER4101) has been shown under Phase 1A to be safe, tolerable and demonstrated a more robust and durable immune response to IIV over 6 months post-vaccination in healthy young adults 18 - 49 years of age compared to SD IIV. Under phase 1B, the 9 µg/HA dose of IIV in 0.3 mL MAS-1 was safe and well tolerated and immunogenically comparable to or better than 60 µg/HA HD IIV control over 3 to 6 months post-vaccination than HD IIV control. It is anticipated that the increased total dose of 15 µg HA antigen administered concurrently to opposite arms in 2 doses of 7.5 µg/HA IIV in 0.25 mL MAS-1 adjuvant emulsion will be safe, well tolerated, and more immunogenic than 9 µg/HA IIV in MAS-1, and will be more immunogenic when compared to HD IIV control in adults who are 65 years of age and older with the potential to provide better protection throughout the influenza season.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The ability of standard dose (SD) IIV to protect against seasonal influenza virus infection in the elderly is less than vaccine efficacy observed in healthy young adults. The MAS-1-adjuvanted influenza virus vaccine offers the potential for higher seroconversion and seroprotection rates, hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) antibody titers relative to pre-vaccination HAI titers (GMFI), hemagglutinin (HA) antigen dose-sparing and cross-protection against antigenically divergent viral strains, and importantly, prolonged duration of protective immunity lasting up to at least 6 months post-vaccination in both the general adult population and the elderly, thereby providing potentially protective immunity throughout the influenza season. This study will determine if the adjuvanted vaccine formulated with one or more of the reduced HA antigen doses is safe. The study will also determine if it is likely to induce an improved HA antibody response (HAI) when compared to SD IIV in healthy adults and HD IIV in elderly subjects. This trial will inform future clinical trials in at-risk populations of older patients.
