Brief summary
This Phase 3/4, randomized, observer-blind, multi-center study, stratified study evaluated the immune (antibody) response, efficacy and safety of a cell-derived quadrivalent subunit influenza virus vaccine (Seqirus QIVc) in comparison with a non-influenza comparator, meningococcal serogroup A, C, W-135, and Y (Menveo®, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, S.A.) in healthy pediatric subjects ≥2 Years to \<18 Years of Age
Detailed description
This Phase 3/4, randomized, observer-blind, multi-center, stratified study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of a cell-derived quadrivalent subunit influenza virus vaccine (Seqirus QIVc) compared to a non-influenza comparator vaccine in healthy male and female participants between 2 to \<18 years of age. A total of 4514 children/teens were randomized, receiving either QIVc or the non-influenza comparator vaccine. The comparator was (meningococcal \[Groups A, C, W-135, and Y\] oligosaccharide diphtheria CRM197 conjugate vaccine \[Men ACWY\]). Randomized enrollment was stratified in a 1:1 ratio via an Interactive Response Technology (IRT) system which assigned the participants into two age cohorts: 2 to \<9 years of age and 9 to \<18 years of age. Subjects between 2 to \<9 years of age were further stratified by previous influenza vaccine status (previously vaccinated or not previously vaccinated).

Secondary Immunogenicity: Percentage of Subjects With HI Titer ≥1:40 for All 4 Influenza Strains (HI Assay)
Immunogenicity was characterized by HI assay 3 weeks after the last vaccination in a subset of subjects 2 to \<9 years of age enrolled in Season 2 (n=432) and Season 3 (n=319) who were immunized and had immunogenicity data at the assessed timepoints (FAS Immunogenicity). Immunogenicity was assessed at baseline (Day 1; all subjects in immunogenicity subset), at Day 22 (all previously vaccinated subjects receiving a single dose of the study vaccine), and at Days 29 and 50 (all not previously vaccinated subjects receiving 2 doses) for all 4 influenza strains using the HI assay. The measures for assessing immunogenicity as determined by HI were as follows: Percentage of subjects with an HI titer ≥1:40 on Day 22 (all previously vaccinated subjects receiving a single vaccine dose) or Days 29 and 50 (all not previously vaccinated subjects receiving 2 doses) for all 4 influenza strains
Time frame: Day 1 (all subjects), Day 22 (all previously vaccinated subjects receiving a single vaccine dose) or Days 29 and 50 (all not previously vaccinatedsubjects receiving 2 doses)
Population: Dataset used: FAS Immunogenicity = all subjects in the All Enrolled Set who received at least one dose of study vaccine and provided evaluable serum samples at both baseline and after the last vaccination.
