Immunogenicity Endpoint: Percentages of Subjects Who Achieved Seroconversion (SCR)

The percentage of subjects achieving SCR at Day 22 was assessed for each of the 4 strains. SCR is defined as HI titer ≥1:40 for subjects seronegative at baseline (HI titer \<1:10) or a minimum 4-fold increase in HI titer for subjects seropositive at baseline (HI titer ≥1:10) on Day 22. Assessment criteria was considered fulfilled if the lower bound of the two-sided 95% CI for the percentage of subjects achieving an HI antibody SCR met or exceeded 30% at Day 22.
