Conditions

Invasive Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia Coli Disease (IED) Prevention

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to show that high-dose quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine (HD QIV) given together with 9-valent extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli vaccine (ExPEC9V) does not induce lower antibody response against each of the 4 influenza vaccine strains, as compared to HD QIV given alone and further show that ExPEC9V given together with HD QIV does not induce lower antibody response against each of the vaccine O-serotype antigens, as compared to ExPEC9V given alone.

Inclusion criteria

* Must be medically stable at the time of vaccination such that, according to the judgment of the investigator, hospitalization within the study period is not anticipated and the participant appears likely to be able to remain on study through the end of protocol specified follow-up. A stable medical condition is defined as disease not requiring significant change in therapy during the 6 weeks before enrollment and when hospitalization for worsening of the disease is not anticipated. Participants will be included on the basis of physical examination, medical history, and vital signs performed between informed consent form (ICF) signature and vaccination * Participant must be: a) postmenopausal (postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause); and b) not intending to conceive by any methods * Must sign an ICF indicating that the participant understands the purpose, procedures and potential risks and benefits of the study, and is willing to participate in the study * Willing and able to adhere to the lifestyle restrictions specified in this protocol * Agrees to not donate blood from the time of vaccination until 3 months after receiving the last dose of study vaccine

Exclusion criteria

* History of an underlying clinically significant acute or uncontrolled chronic medical condition or significant cognitive impairment or physical examination findings for which, in the opinion of the investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the participant (for example, compromise the well-being) or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments * Known or suspected allergy or history of severe allergic reaction, anaphylaxis, or other serious adverse reactions to vaccines or vaccine excipients * History of severe allergic reactions (for example anaphylaxis) to any component of the high-dose (HD) quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine, including egg protein, or following a previous dose of any influenza vaccine * Has had major surgery (per the investigator's judgment) within 4 weeks before administration of the first study vaccine or will not have recovered from surgery per the investigator's judgment at time of vaccination * History of acute polyneuropathy (for example, Guillain-Barré syndrome) or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion Against H1N1, H3N2, B/Victoria, and B/Yamagata Influenza Vaccine Strains 29 Days After the Administration of HD Quadrivalent Seasonal Influenza Vaccine29 days after the administration of HD quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine on Day 1 (Day 30)Seroconversion was defined for each of the 4 influenza vaccine strains as 1) HI titer greater than or equal to (\>=) 1:40 in participants with a pre-vaccination HI titer of less than (\<) 1:10, or 2) a \>=4-fold HI titer increase in participants with a pre-vaccination HI titer of \>=1:10.
Percentage of Participants With Seroprotection Against H1N1, H3N2, B/Victoria, and B/Yamagata Influenza Vaccine Strains 29 Days After the Administration of HD Quadrivalent Seasonal Influenza Vaccine29 days after the administration of HD quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine on Day 1 (Day 30)Seroprotection was defined for each of the 4 influenza vaccine strains as HI titer \>=1:40 at 29 days after the administration of a HD quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine.
Percentage of Participants With Solicited Local (Injection Site) Adverse Events (AEs) for 14 Days After Each VaccinationUp to 14 days post-vaccination 1 on Day 1 (Day 1 up to Day 15) and up to 14 days post-vaccination 2 on Day 30 (Day 30 up to Day 44)An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the study vaccination. Solicited local AEs were used to assess the reactogenicity of the study vaccine and were pre-defined local (injection site) events for which participants were to be specifically questioned and which were noted by participants in their participant diary for 14 days post vaccination (day of vaccination and the subsequent 14 days). Solicited local AEs were injection site pain or tenderness, erythema and swelling at the study vaccine injection site.
Percentage of Participants With Solicited Systemic AEs for 14 Days After Each VaccinationUp to 14 days post-vaccination 1 on Day 1 (Day 1 up to Day 15) and up to 14 days post-vaccination 2 on Day 30 (Day 30 up to Day 44)An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the study vaccination. Solicited systemic AEs were used to assess the reactogenicity of the study vaccine and were pre-defined systemic events for which participants were to be specifically questioned and which were noted by participants in their participant diary for 14 days post vaccination (day of vaccination and the subsequent 14 days). Solicited systemic AEs included fever (body temperature \>=100.4 degree Fahrenheit), fatigue, headache, nausea, myalgia, and fever.
Percentage of Participants With Unsolicited AEs for 29 Days After Each VaccinationUp to 29 days post-vaccination 1 on Day 1 (Day 1 up to Day 30) and up to 29 days post-vaccination 2 on Day 30 (Day 30 up to Day 59)Percentage of participants with unsolicited AEs for 29 days after each vaccination was reported. An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the study vaccination. Unsolicited AEs were all AEs for which the participant was not specifically questioned in the participant diary.
Percentage of Participants With Medically-attended Adverse Events (MAAEs) From Vaccination 1 Until 6 Months After Vaccination 2From vaccination 1 on Day 1 up to 6 months after vaccination 2 on Day 30 (up to Day 210)MAAEs were defined as AEs with medically-attended visits including hospital, emergency room, urgent care clinic, or other visits to or from medical personnel for any reason. An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the study vaccination.
Percentage of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) From Vaccination 1 Until 6 Months After Vaccination 2From vaccination 1 on Day 1 up to 6 months after vaccination 2 on Day 30 (up to Day 210)Percentage of participants with SAEs from vaccination 1 to until 6 months after vaccination 2 was reported. An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product.
