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.

Absolute Vaccine Efficacy (VE) of aQIV Versus Non-influenza Comparator Based on Culture Confirmed Influenza Due to Any Strain of Influenza Antigenically Matched to the Strains Selected for the Seasonal Vaccine Using WHO ILI Definition.
The post-hoc efficacy endpoint was the time of first-occurrence of culture confirmed influenza due to any strain of influenza antigenically matched to the strains selected for the seasonal vaccine from Day 21 through 180 days after vaccination or end of the influenza season, whichever is longer, using WHO ILI definition. Absolute vaccine efficacy is VE=1-HR, where HR is the hazard ratio of aQIV vs non-influenza comparator estimated by the Cox proportional hazards model for the post-hoc endpoint.
