Trial Outcomes & Findings for Immunogenicity Trial of Egg- Versus Non-Egg-Based Influenza Vaccines Among HCP (NCT NCT03722589)

NCT ID: NCT03722589

Last Updated: 2024-07-22

Results Overview

MN responses to the cell-grown influenza A/H3N2 vaccine reference viruses for each study season at approximately 28 days post-vaccination, including by assessing SCR in the various vaccine arms defined as the proportion of participants with paired samples that achieved ≥ 4 fold rises comparing post- versus pre-vaccination titers, and post vaccination titers ≥ 40

Recruitment status

Participant Flow

During year 1, participants were randomized to 1 of 4 vaccine assignments as shown. During year 2, some participants from year 1 were retained (n=546) and additional participants (n=217) were enrolled. During year 2, retained participants from year 1 were rerandomized to vaccine groups. Participants completed consent at year 1 start and again at year 2 start, so the number of enrolled participants at year 2 start is not the cumulative sum of participants enrolled at year 1 and year 2 start.
