Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study was to generate immunogenicity and safety data in the whole population to support registration of the Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (QIV) in India:

Primary objective:

• To describe in each age group the immune response induced by a single injection (participants aged >9 years) or 2 injections (participants aged 6 months to 8 years) of QIV.

Secondary objective:

• To describe in each age group the safety profile of QIV.

Description:

All participants were vaccinated with the QIV (split-virion, inactivated) Northern Hemisphere (NH) or Southern Hemisphere (SH) formulations by the intramuscular (IM) route. Immunogenicity of the vaccine was assessed at baseline (Day 0) and 28 days after the last injection. Safety data were collected up to 28 days after each injection. Serious adverse events (SAEs) were collected throughout the trial.

• Participation at the time of study enrollment (or in the 4 weeks preceding the first trial vaccination) or planned participation during the present trial period in another clinical trial investigating a vaccine, drug, medical device, or medical procedure

• Receipt of any vaccine in the 4 weeks preceding the first trial vaccination or planned receipt of any vaccine in the 4 weeks following any trial vaccination (except Oral Poliomyelitis Vaccine (OPV) received during national immunization days)

• For participants aged 9 years or older only: previous vaccination against influenza (in the previous 9 months) with any influenza vaccine

• For participants aged 6 months to 8 years only: previous priming with any influenza vaccine (i.e., participants who received 2 doses for at least 1 previous influenza season)

• Receipt of immune globulins, blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months

• Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy, within the preceding 6 months; or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy (prednisone or equivalent for more than 2 consecutive weeks within the past 3 months)

• Self-reported history of seropositivity for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C, after questioning

• Known systemic hypersensitivity to any of the vaccine components, or history of a life-threatening reaction to the vaccine used in the trial or to a vaccine containing any of the same substances

• Self-reported thrombocytopenia or as reported by the parent/legally acceptable representative, contraindicating intramuscular vaccination

• Bleeding disorder, or receipt of anticoagulants in the 3 weeks preceding inclusion, contraindicating IM vaccination

• For participants aged 9 years or older only: current alcohol abuse or drug addiction

• Chronic illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, was at a stage where it might interfere with trial conduct or completion

• Moderate or severe acute illness/infection (according to Investigator judgment) on the day of vaccination or febrile illness (axillary temperature >=38.0 degree Celsius). A prospective participants should not be included in the study until the condition had resolved or the febrile event has subsided

• Identified as an Investigator or employee of the Investigator or study center with direct involvement in the proposed study, or identified as an immediate family member (i.e., parent, spouse, natural or adopted child) of the Investigator or employee with direct involvement in the proposed study

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Influenza Vaccine Antibodies	Anti-influenza antibodies were measured using hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay for 4 strains: H1N1, H3N2, B Victoria, B Yamagata.	Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and 28 days post-final vaccination (post-vaccination)
Primary	Number of Participants With Seroprotection to Influenza Vaccine Antigens	Anti-influenza antibodies were measured using HAI assay for 4 strains: H1N1, H3N2, B Victoria and B Yamagata. Seroprotection was defined as an antibody titer >=40 (1/dilution[dil]) at pre-vaccination and at post-final vaccination.	Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and 28 days post-final vaccination (post-vaccination)
Primary	Number of Participants With Seroconversion or Significant Increase to Influenza Vaccine Antigens	Anti-influenza antibodies were measured using HAI assay for 4 strains: H1N1, H3N2, B Victoria and B Yamagata. Seroconversion was defined as pre-vaccination titer <10 (1/dil) and post-vaccination titer >=40 (1/dil), and Significant increase was defined as pre-vaccination titer >=10 (1/dil) and >= 4-fold increase of post-vaccination titer.	28 days post-final vaccination (post-vaccination)
Secondary	Number of Participants Reporting Solicited Injection Site and Systemic Reactions After Vaccination With Influenza Vaccine	Solicited injection site reactions: Age 6-23 months: Tenderness, Erythema and Swelling(Grade 3: Tenderness: cries when injected limb is moved; Erythema and Swelling:>=50 mm); Age >=2 years: Pain, Erythema and Swelling (Grade 3: Pain:unable to perform usual activities [age 2-11 years], significant interference with daily activities [age >=12 years]; Erythema and Swelling >=50 mm [age 2-11 years], >100 mm [age >=12 years]); Solicited systemic reactions: Age 6-23 months: Fever, Vomiting, Crying abnormal, Drowsiness, Appetite loss, Irritability (Grade 3: Fever:>39.5 degree Celsius; Vomiting:>=6 episodes/24 hours; Crying abnormal:>3 hours; Drowsiness:sleeping most of the time or difficult to wake up; Appetite loss: refuses >=3 feeds/meals or most feeds/meals; Irritability: inconsolable); Age >=2 years:Fever, Headache, Malaise, Myalgia and Shivering (Grade 3:Fever>=39.0 degree Celsius; Headache, Malaise, Myalgia and Shivering:significant interference in daily activities)	Within 7 days after any vaccination
