Clinical Trial Summary

The primary purpose of the study is to assess the equivalence of the immune response elicited by two GSK Biologicals' adjuvanted influenza investigational vaccines (GSK2340272A and GSK2340274A) in adults aged 18 to 60 years. The second purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of these two vaccines.

• Administration of any vaccines within 30 days before vaccination.

• Any known or suspected allergy to any constituent of influenza vaccines; a history of anaphylactic-type reaction to any constituent of influenza vaccines; or a history of severe adverse reaction to a previous influenza vaccine.

• Female planning to become pregnant or planning to discontinue contraceptive precautions.

Primary	Titers for Serum Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibodies Against Flu A/CAL/7/09 Strain of Influenza Disease	Titers are presented as geometric mean titers (GMTs). The flu strain assessed was Flu A/CAL/7/09. The reference seropositivity cut-off value was greater than or equal to (=) 1:10.	At Day 21
Secondary	Number of Seroconverted (SCR) Subjects for HI Antibodies	Seroconversion was defined as: For initially seronegative subjects [antibody titer below (<) 1:10 prior to vaccination], antibody titer greater than or equal to (=) 1:40 after vaccination; For initially seropositive subjects (antibody titer = 1:10 prior to vaccination), antibody titer after vaccination = 4 fold the pre-vaccination antibody titer. The Flu strain assessed was A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)v-like influenza (Flu A/CAL/7/09).	At Days 21 and 42
Secondary	Number of SCR Subjects for HI Antibodies	Seroconversion was defined as: For initially seronegative subjects [antibody titer below (<) 1:10 post to vaccination], antibody titer greater than or equal to (=) 1:40 after vaccination; For initially seropositive subjects (antibody titer = 1:10 prior to vaccination), antibody titer after vaccination = 4 fold the pre-vaccination antibody titer. The Flu strain assessed was A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)v-like influenza (Flu A/CAL/7/09).	At Days 182 and 364
Secondary	Titers for Serum HI Antibodies Against Flu A/CAL/7/09 Strain of Influenza Disease	Titers are presented as geometric mean titers (GMTs). The flu strain assessed was Flu A/CAL/7/09. The reference seropositivity cut-off value was = 1:10.	At Days 0 and 42
Secondary	Titers for Serum HI Antibodies Against Flu A/CAL/7/09 Strain of Influenza Disease	Titers are presented as geometric mean titers (GMTs). The flu strain assessed was Flu A/CAL/7/09. The reference seropositivity cut-off value was = 1:10.	At Days 182 and 364
Secondary	Number of Subjects Who Were Seroprotected for HI Antibodies Against the Flu A/California/7/2009 (H1N1) Virus Strain	A seroprotected subject was defined as a vaccinated subject with a serum HI titer greater than or equal to (=) 1:40, that usually is accepted as indicating protection.
