Brief Summary

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

This study evaluates whether priming influenza naive infants, age six to 23 months, with a MF59-adjuvanted (oil in water emulsion) influenza vaccine is preferred to priming with an inactivated unadjuvanted influenza vaccine. All participants will receive a priming vaccine, either MF59-adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine (aTIV) or unadjuvanted quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV). For the booster shot the following year, two thirds of participants will receive QIV and one third will receive MF59-adjuvanted vaccine.

Detailed Description

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

Children under 24 months of age suffer from an influenza burden (high morbidity and mortality) similar to that of the elderly, and have been identified as a high priority target for vaccination programs by Canada's National Advisory Committee on Immunization. There is evidence that a person's first exposure to influenza antigens may have long-term implications for protection.

This is a randomized, controlled, observer-blind study that will assign participants to one of three groups. Group 1 will receive MF59-adjuvanted influenza vaccine (two doses one month apart) in the fall of year 1, followed by QIV (one dose) in the fall of year 2. Group 2 will receive QIV (two doses one month apart) in the fall of year 1, followed by QIV (one dose) in the fall of year 2. Group 3 will receive MF59-adjuvanted IV (two doses one month apart) in the fall of year 1, followed by MF59-adjuvanted IV (one dose) in the fall of year 2.

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: Group 1 will receive aTIV as a primer and QIV as a booster, Group 2 will receive QIV as both primer and booster, and Group 3 will receive aTIV as both primer and booster.
