Brief summary

This prospective annual release study is designed to evaluate the safety of 3 new influenza virus vaccine strains to be included in FluMist Quadrivalent for the 2015-2016 influenza season

Detailed description

This prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled release study will enroll approximately 300 healthy adults 18 to 49 years of age. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 4:1 fashion to receive a single dose of trivalent vaccine or placebo by intranasal spray. Randomization will be stratified by site. This study will be conducted at 3 sites in the United States of America. Each participant will receive 1 dose of investigational product on Day 1. The duration of study participation for each participant is the time from study vaccination through 181 days after study vaccination.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALTrivalent Influenza Vaccine

A single dose of 10\^(7.0 ± 0.5) FFU per strain of trivalent influenza vaccine will be administered as intranasal spray on Day 1.

OTHERPlacebo

A single dose of placebo matched to trivalent influenza vaccine will be administered as intranasal spray on Day 1.

Inclusion criteria

* Age 18 through 49 years * Written informed consent * Participant available by telephone * Ability to understand and comply with the requirements of the protocol, as judged by the Investigator

Exclusion criteria

* Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study up to 180 days after receipt of investigational product (Day 181) * History of hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine, including egg or egg protein or serious, life threatening, or severe reactions to previous influenza vaccinations * Any condition for which the inactivated influenza vaccine is indicated, including chronic disorders of the pulmonary or cardiovascular systems (example \[eg\], asthma), chronic metabolic diseases (eg, diabetes mellitus), renal dysfunction, or hemoglobinopathies that required regular medical follow-up or hospitalization during the preceding year * Acute febrile (greater than \[\>\] 100.0 degrees Fahrenheit \[F\] oral or equivalent) and/or clinically significant respiratory illness (example, cough or sore throat) within 14 days prior to randomization * Any known immunosuppressive condition or immune deficiency disease, including human immunodeficiency virus infection, or ongoing immunosuppressive therapy * History of Guillain-Barré syndrome

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Solicited SymptomsBaseline (Day 1) up to Day 8 and Day 15Solicited symptoms are predefined symptoms or events specifically inquired about and assessed daily after vaccine administration up to 15 days after vaccination. The solicited symptoms include fever greater than (\>) 100.0 degrees F (37.8 degrees Celsius), runny nose, sore throat, cough, vomiting, muscle aches, chills, decreased activity and headache. Results were reported for all solicited symptoms except fever \>=101 degrees F (reported as primary outcome) within 8 days after vaccination and all solicited symptoms within 15 days after vaccination.
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)Baseline (Day 1) up to Day 8 and Day 15An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Treatment-emergent AEs were events between administration of study drug and up to 15 days after vaccination that are absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. Results were given for AEs reported within 8 days and 15 days after vaccination.
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs) and New Onset Chronic Disease (NOCDs)Baseline (Day 1) up to Day 29 and 181An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent SAEs were serious events between administration of study drug and up to 181 days after the dose that are absent before treatment or that worsen relative to pretreatment state. An NOCD is a newly diagnosed medical condition that is of a chronic, ongoing nature and is assessed by the investigator as medically significant. Results were given for TESAEs and NOCDs reported within 29 days and 181 days after vaccination.
Percentage of Participants Who Require Antipyretic and/or Analgesic MedicationBaseline (Day 1) up to Day 8 and Day 15Percentage of participants who require antipyretic and/or analgesic medication were reported.
