|---|---|---|
| Geometric Mean Titers (GMT) Before and After 1 Dose of Cell-culture-derived Vaccine (cTIV) or Egg-derived Vaccine (eTIV_f), Using the ANOVA Method | 3 weeks postvaccination (Day 22) | Antibody titers as assessed by egg-derived antigen and cell-derived antigen haemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay. |
| Percentages of Subjects With Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titer ≥ 40. | 3 weeks postvaccination (Day 22) | Antibody titers as assessed by egg-derived antigen and cell-derived antigen HI assay. This criterion is met according to European (CHMP) guideline if the percentages of subjects achieving HI titers ≥40 is \>70%. According to the US Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) guideline, the criterion is also met if the lower limit of the 95% CI for percentages of subjects achieving seroprotection (HI antibody titer ≥1:40) is ≥70%. |
| Geometric Mean Ratio After 1 Dose of Cell-culture-derived Vaccine (cTIV) or Egg-derived Vaccine (eTIV_f), Using the ANOVA Method. | 3 weeks postvaccination (Day 22) | Geometric mean ratio (GMR) of Day 22 / Day 1 geometric mean antibody titers was assessed by egg-derived antigen and cell-derived antigen haemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay. The criterion is met according to European (CHMP) guideline if the mean geometric increase GMR (Day22/Day1) in HI antibody titer is \> 2.5. |
| Number of Subjects Reporting Local and Systemic Reactions | 7 days postvaccination | Safety and tolerability of cTIV and eTIV\_f postvaccination. Difference between demography and safety numbers was due to one misrandomization. |
| Percentages of Subjects With Seroconversion. | 3 weeks postvaccination (Day 22) | As the definition for seroconversion/significant increase from CHMP guideline CPMP/BWP/214/96 corresponds to that of seroconversion from the May 2007 CBER guidance, the analysis of this immunogenicity endpoint is presented as seroconversion. Seroconversion is defined as prevaccination HI titer \<10 and postvaccination HI titer ≥40, or prevaccination HI titer ≥10 and a ≥4-fold increase in postvaccination HI antibody titer, on day 22. CBER criterion is met if the lower limit of the 95% CI for percentages of subjects achieving seroconversion for HI antibody (at least a 4-fold rise in HI antibody titer) postvaccination is ≥40%. CHMP criterion is also met if the percentages of subjects achieving seroconversion is \>40%. |

The criterion is met according to European (CHMP) guideline if the mean geometric increase GMR (Day22/Day1) in HI antibody titer is \> 2.5. |

Percentages of Subjects With Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titer ≥ 40.
Antibody titers as assessed by egg-derived antigen and cell-derived antigen HI assay. This criterion is met according to European (CHMP) guideline if the percentages of subjects achieving HI titers ≥40 is \>70%. According to the US Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) guideline, the criterion is also met if the lower limit of the 95% CI for percentages of subjects achieving seroprotection (HI antibody titer ≥1:40) is ≥70%.

Percentages of Subjects With Seroconversion.
As the definition for seroconversion/significant increase from CHMP guideline CPMP/BWP/214/96 corresponds to that of seroconversion from the May 2007 CBER guidance, the analysis of this immunogenicity endpoint is presented as seroconversion. Seroconversion is defined as prevaccination HI titer \<10 and postvaccination HI titer ≥40, or prevaccination HI titer ≥10 and a ≥4-fold increase in postvaccination HI antibody titer, on day 22. CBER criterion is met if the lower limit of the 95% CI for percentages of subjects achieving seroconversion for HI antibody (at least a 4-fold rise in HI antibody titer) postvaccination is ≥40%. CHMP criterion is also met if the percentages of subjects achieving seroconversion is \>40%.
