| Secondary Objective: Assess the maternally transferred specific antibodies against H1N1v in the newborn. Assess whether the immune response to H1N1 in pregnant women is different from that of non-pregnant women of similar age.;Main Objective: It is the overriding objective to study the optimal vaccination strategy in 2nd - 3rd trimester pregnant women with the objectives to: • Assess whether the adjuvanted vaccine offers a meaningful benefit in pregnant women in terms of immune response over the non-adjuvanted vaccine, and if so, whether a low dose adjuvanted vaccine is sufficient. • Assess the persistence of immune response over a 15 month time period after one single vaccination of the pregnant mother. • Gain insight on safety of the Novartis egg-based MF59 adjuvanted H1N1 vaccine Focetria in pregnant women and their babies. ;Primary end point(s): The immunogenicity criteria for success, as determined by HI, related to the EMEA/CPMP/VEG/4717/2003-Rev.1 (pandemic guideline) and EMEA/CHMP/VWP/263499/2006 (pre-pandemic guideline) are: For adults subjects aged 18-60 years: • The percentage of subjects with seroconversion or significant increase in HI antibody is > 40% • The percentage of subjects achieving an HI titer =40 is > 70% • The GMR is >2.5 The assessment of criteria is based on the corresponding proportions and geometric means ratio empirically found (i.e. on the point estimates). | — |
