Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • Subjects eligible for enrolment into this study are: - male and female adult volunteers aged 18 years or older, - mentally competent, - able to understand and comply with all study requirements, - willing and able to give written informed consent prior to initiation of study procedures, - in good health (as determined by clinical judgement of the investigator on the basis of medical history and existing medical condition) or are in stable medical condition. Subjects will not be excluded with known, adequately treated, clinically significant organ or systemic diseases (e.g. asthma or diabetes), such that, in the opinion of the investigator, the significance of the disease will not compromise the subject's participation in the study. • Female subjects aged 18 to 60 years (i.e. participants of childbearing potential) with a negative result from the urine pregnancy test prior to vaccination who agrees to use an acceptable contraception method or abstinence throughout the trial and not become pregnant for the duration of the study. • Absence of existence of any exclusion criteria. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 128 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 128
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Pregnancy, breast-feeding or positive urine pregnancy test at baseline prior to vaccination. Female subjects who are able to bear children but not willing to use an acceptable contraception method for the duration of the study. • Hypersensivity to eggs, chicken protein, thiomersal, formaldehyde, gentamycin, ciprofloxacin, neomycin or any other component of the vaccine; • History of anaphylactic shock or neurological symptoms or signs following administration of any vaccine; • History of Guillain-Barré syndrome; • Serious disease, such as cancer, autoimmune disease, advanced arteriosclerotic disease, complicated diabetes mellitus, acute or progressive hepatic disease, acute or progressive renal disease, congestive heart failure; • Immunosuppressive therapy within the past 36 months; • Concomitant corticosteroid therapy, including high-dose inhaled corticosteroids; • Receipt of immunostimulants; • Receipt of parenteral immunoglobulin, blood products and/or plasma derivates within the past 3 months; • Suspected or known HIV, HBV or HCV infection; • Acute disease and/or axillary temperature =37oC within the past 3 days; • Vaccine therapy within the past 4 weeks; • Influenza vaccination (any kind) within the past 6 months; • Experimental drug therapy within the past 4 weeks; • Concomitant participation in another clinical study; • Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with the evaluation of the study; • Past or current psychiatric disease of the subject that upon judgement of the investigator may have effect on the objective decision-making of the subject; • Alcohol or drug abuse of the subject.

| Main Objective: - To assess immunogenicity of one 0.5 mL intramuscular (IM) injection of four FLUVAL AB-like trivalent influenza vaccines containing either 3.5µgHA, 6µgHA, 9µgHA or 15µgHA of seasonal A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and B influenza antigens, as measured by haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test 21 days after vaccination in compliance with the requirements of the current European Union recommendations as determined in CPMP/BWP/214/96. - To determine dose-effect relationship between one 0.5 mL IM injection of four FLUVAL AB-like trivalent influenza vaccines containing either 3.5µgHA, 6µgHA, 9µgHA or 15µgHA of seasonal A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and B influenza antigens and immune response provoked 21 days after vaccination in terms of pre- and post-immunization HA titers as measured by HI test.;Secondary Objective: Secondary immunogenicity objectives: - To assess immunogenicity of one 0.5 mL IM inj. of four FLUVALAB-like vaccines containing either 3.5µg, 6µg, 9µg or 15µg HA of seasonal infl. antigens 14 days after vaccination. - To find the highest dose of FLUVALAB-like vaccine among 3.5µg, 6µg and 9µg HA the response of which differs from that of dose 15µgHA in terms of post-immunization HA titers, the percentage of subjects achieving seroconversion or significant increase in antibody titer 21 and 14 days after vaccination and in terms of Day 21/Day 0 and Day 14/Day 0 GMTs. Safety objective: - To evaluate the safety of the administration of one 0.5 mL IM injection of four FLUVAL AB-like vaccines containing either 3.5µgHA, 6µgHA, 9µgHA or 15µgHA of seasonal influenza antigens.;Primary end point(s): a) To justify immunogenicity of one 0.5 mL intramuscular (IM) injection of four FLUVAL AB-like trivalent influenza vaccines containing either 3.5µgHA, 6µgHA, 9µgHA or 15µgHA of seasonal A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and B influenza antigens, as measured by haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test 21 days after vaccination in compliance with the requirements of the current European Union recommendations | — |
