• 1 other identifier: 201912144
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 2
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

Healthy adults (18-49 years of age) with no previous influenza virus vaccination history for at least three years prior to enrollment will be recruited to participate in this study. All subjects will concomitantly receive a single dose of both Fluad® and Afluria® administered intramuscularly in opposite deltoid muscles. Blood samples collected at 9 visits (screening, baseline, days 7, 14, 28, 60, 90, 120 and 180, fine needle aspiration (FNAs) from axillary lymph nodes from both axillae at baseline, days 7, 14, 28, 60, 90, 120 and 180.

• Women of child-bearing potential using licensed hormonal methods must also use a second form of contraception.
• \. Are in good health, as determined by medical history and targeted physical exam related to this history.

• Hemoglobin ≥11.0 g/dL for men and ≥10.0 g/dL for women
• Platelet count ≥100,000/mm3
• Creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault equation
• NOTE: A program for calculating creatinine clearance by the Cockcroft-Gault method is available on www.fstrf.org
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (SGPT) ≤5.0 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
• Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) within normal range

You may not qualify if:

• \. Receipt of the following:
• Receipt of blood products 3 months prior to vaccination or expected receipt through 12 months after vaccination.
• Receipt of any live virus vaccines within 28 days prior to vaccination or expected receipt within 28 days after vaccination. \*
• Receipt of any inactivated vaccine within 14 days or expected receipt within 14 days after vaccination other than study vaccine. \* 2. Presence of co-morbidities or immunosuppressive states such as: Chronic medical problems including (but not limited to) insulin dependent diabetes, severe heart disease (including arrhythmias), severe lung disease, auto immune diseases, thrombocytopenia and any other severe medical conditions.
• \. Alcohol abuse, drug abuse, or psychiatric conditions that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude compliance with the trial or interpretation of safety or endpoint data.
• \. Any history of lymphoma involving axillary nodes or any history of breast cancer.
• \. Impaired immune function or known chronic infections including, but not limited to, known HIV, tuberculosis, hepatitis B or C; organ transplantation (bone marrow, hematopoietic stem cell, or solid organ transplant); immunosuppression due to cancer; current and/or expected receipt of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, steroids\*\* (i.e., more than 20 mg of prednisone given daily or on alternative days for 2 weeks or more in the past 90 days , or high dose inhaled corticosteroids\*\*\*); and any other immunosuppressive therapies (including anti-TNF therapy), functional or anatomic asplenia, or congenital immunodeficiency.
• \. Pregnancy or breast feeding 7. Conditions that could affect the safety of the volunteers, such as:
• Severe reactions to prior vaccinations, including anaphylaxis
• History of Guillain-Barré syndrome
• History of bleeding disorders or current use of warfarin, aspirin, heparin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or other blood thinner/anticoagulant medications in the past week
