| Main Objective: To evaluate safety and tolerability of three lots of Chiron’s cell-derived influenza subunit vaccine as compared to a conventional egg-derived control vaccine, three weeks after a single 0.5 mL intramuscular (IM) injection. To collect additional safety data such as serious adverse events, adverse events necessitating a physician’s visit and/or resulting in premature subject’s withdrawal from study for approximately six months after vaccination to be included in an addendum to the final study report. ;Secondary Objective: To evaluate immunogenicity of the two vaccines and of each vaccine lot three weeks after a single 0.5 mL IM injection, by the measurement of strain-specific hemagglutination inhibition (HI) tests according to the current CHMP criteria (CPMP/BWP/214/96), as described below. For the HI test the measures of immunogenicity for each antigen are: - geometric mean titer (GMT) on study day 1 (Visit 1) and on study day 22 (Visit 2) - study day 22/study day 1 GMT ratio (GMR) - percentage of subjects achieving seroconversion* or significant increase in antibody titer** - percentage of subjects achieving an HI titer of = 40 on study day 1 and study day 22 Of Note: *Seroconversion is defined as negative pre-vaccination serum ( 40% - mean geometric increase > 2.5 - proportion of subjects achieving an HI titer = 40 should be > 70% All immunogenicity analyses will be repeated for the subset of subjects who are not protected pre-vaccination (< 40). | — |
