Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity and Safety of Seqirus Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (QIV) in a Pediatric Population 5 Through 17 Years of Age (NCT NCT02545543)

NCT ID: NCT02545543

Last Updated: 2018-05-23

Results Overview

Noninferiority of Seqirus QIV compared to comparator QIV was assessed by the eight co-primary endpoints of hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody geometric mean titer (GMT) and seroconversion rate (SCR) 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.

Measure
Seqirus Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine
The Seqirus study vaccine is a sterile, thimerosal-free suspension containing 60 mcg total hemagglutinin antigen per 0.5 mL dose (15 mcg each of the four recommended influenza strains for the Northern Hemisphere 2015/2016 influenza season). Seqirus QIV: Seqirus QIV, inactivated, split-virion, thimerosal-free, quadrivalent influenza vaccine, administered as a 0.5 mL intramuscular dose. The vaccine is presented in a prefilled needleless syringe. The subject's age and influenza vaccination history determines the dosing regimen (a single vaccination or a 2-vaccination regimen administered 28 days apart) according to the most recent US ACIP guidelines for seasonal influenza vaccination.
Comparator Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine
The comparator Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza vaccine is a US-licensed product containing four recommended influenza strains for the Northern Hemisphere 2015/2016 influenza season. Comparator QIV: The US-licensed Comparator QIV, inactivated, split-virion, thimerosal-free, quadrivalent influenza vaccine, administered as a 0.5 mL intramuscular dose. The vaccine is presented in a prefilled needleless syringe. The subject's age and influenza vaccination history determines the dosing regimen (a single vaccination or a 2-vaccination regimen administered 28 days apart) according to the most recent US ACIP guidelines for seasonal influenza vaccination.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 28 days after last vaccination.

Population: The Per Protocol Population was used for the primary and secondary analysis of immunogenicity data and included subjects in the Evaluable Population minus any subjects with deviations that were thought to potentially affect the immunogenicity results, following medical review prior to unblinding.

Noninferiority of Seqirus QIV compared to comparator QIV was assessed by the eight co-primary endpoints of hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody geometric mean titer (GMT) and seroconversion rate (SCR) 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.

Noninferiority of Seqirus QIV compared to Comparator QIV was assessed by the eight co-primary endpoints of HI geometric mean titer (GMT) and seroconversion rate (SCR) for each viral strain. The rate of 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 virus strain will be determined.

The comparator Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza vaccine is a US-licensed product containing four recommended influenza strains for the Northern Hemisphere 2015/2016 influenza season. Comparator QIV: The US-licensed Comparator QIV, inactivated, split-virion, thimerosal-free, quadrivalent influenza vaccine, administered as a 0.5 mL intramuscular dose. The vaccine is presented in a prefilled needleless syringe. The subject's age and influenza vaccination history determines the dosing regimen (a single vaccination or a 2-vaccination regimen administered 28 days apart) according to the most recent US ACIP guidelines for seasonal influenza vaccination.
