Safety and Immunogenicity of FluLaval™ TR and Fluarix® (Influenza Vaccines) in Young and Older Adults - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	GlaxoSmithKline
Information provided by:	GlaxoSmithKline
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00380211

Purpose

The purpose of this trial is to describe the immunogenicity, the safety, and tolerability of FluLaval™ TR and Fluarix®, the latter serving as active comparator. The results will be compared to a standard immune response criteria, for both young and elderly populations.

Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Prevention, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title:	A Randomized, Double-Blind Trial Evaluating the Safety and Immunogenicity of an Influenza Vaccine With Reduced Preservative (FluLaval™ TR) and a Standard Influenza Vaccine (Fluarix®) in Subjects Between 18-60 and Over 60 Years of Age.

Further study details as provided by GlaxoSmithKline:

Primary Outcome Measures:

21 days after vaccination: seroconversion rate, seroprotection rate,
geometric mean titer fold increase

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Immediate AEs; solicited and spontaneous AEs within 42 days of vaccination;
SAEs over the whole study period

Estimated Enrollment:	600
Study Start Date:	September 2006

Detailed Description:

This randomized trial will assess the immune protection offered at Day 21 by FluLaval™ TR, Fluarix® being the comparator. In both groups, immune response will be assessed through a blood test before and 21 days following vaccination. The safety and tolerability of the study vaccine will be contrasted to the comparator vaccine over a period of 42 days following vaccination.
