Brief Summary

The present study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity in healthy people (non-elderly adult and elderly subjects) after one intramuscular (IM) dose of trivalent subunit inactivated flu vaccine.

Conditions

Seasonal Influenza

Keywords

seasonal influenza; vaccine

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• To evaluate the antibody response to each influenza vaccine antigen at 21 days post-immunization in non-elderly adult and elderly subjects

  22 days, including the follow-up period

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• To evaluate the safety of a single IM injection of trivalent subunit inactivated FLU vaccine in non-elderly adult and elderly subjects

  22 days, including the follow-up period

Study Arms (1)

Group 1

OTHER

No comparator is administered, only one IM single dose of trivalent subunit inactivated influenza vaccine is administered during the vaccination visit

Biological: Trivalent subunit inactivated flu vaccine, Formulation 2010-2011

Interventions

Trivalent subunit inactivated flu vaccine, Formulation 2010-2011 BIOLOGICAL

This phase II is performed as a multicenter study site in non-elderly adult and elderly subjects. Enrolled subjects received one single IM dose of trivalent subunit inactivated flu vaccine during the vaccination visit, according to the study protocol (follow-up period: till day 22).

• Individuals with history of any anaphylactic reaction and/or serious allergic reaction following a vaccination, a proven hypersensitivity to any component of the study vaccine (e.g. to eggs/eggs product as well as ovalbumin, chicken protein, chicken feathers, influenza viral protein, kanamycin and neomycin sulphate)
• Individuals with known or suspected impairment/alteration of immune function resulting, for example, from: receipt of immunosuppressive therapy within the past 60 days and for the full length of the study, receipt of immunostimulants, receipt of parenteral immunoglobulin preparation, blood products and/or plasma derivates within the past 3 months and for the full length of the study and suspected or known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or HIV-related disease
• Individuals with known or suspected history of drug or alcohol abuse
• Female who are pregnant or nursing (breastfeeding) mothers or females of childbearing potential do not plan to use acceptable birth control measures for the whole duration of the study
• Individuals with history or any illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with the results of the study or pose additional risk to the subjects due to participation in the study
• Individuals within the past 6 months, they have had any seasonal or pandemic laboratory confirmed influenza disease and received any seasonal or pandemic influenza vaccine
• Individuals with any acute or chronic infections requiring systemic antibiotic treatment or antiviral therapy within the last 7 days
• Individuals that have experienced fever (i.e., axillary temperature ≥ 38°C) within the last 3 days of intended study vaccination
• Individuals participating in any clinical trial with another investigational product 4 weeks prior to first study visit or intent to participate in another clinical study at any time during the conduct of this study
• Individuals who received any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to enrollment in this study or who are planning to receive any vaccine within 4 weeks from the study vaccines
• Individuals who have ever received blood/blood products and/or plasma derivatives or any parenteral immunoglobulin preparation in the past 12 weeks and for the full length of the study
• Individuals who are part of study personnel or close family members conducting this study
• Individuals with a bleeding diathesis or conditions associated with prolonged bleeding time that in the investigator's opinion would interfere with the safety of the subject
