Clinical Trial Summary

Comparative assessment of the tolerability, safety and immunogenicity of the Flu-M vaccine vs. the Ultrix® vaccine by single vaccination of children aged 6 to 17 years.

Description:

At Stage I of the trial, it is planned to screen not more than 350 children aged 12 to 17 years (12 years 0 months 0 days - 17 years 11 months 30 days), of which it is planned to include and randomize 300 children meeting the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria.

Based on findings from tolerability and safety assessment in respect of the Flu-M vaccine vs. the Ultrix® vaccine in the first 7 days after the vaccination of volunteers, during Phase I, an "Opinion on Tolerability and Safety Assessment for the Flu-M Vaccine vs. the Ultrix® Vaccine Involving Children Aged 12-17 Years (12 Years 0 Months 0 Days - 17 Years 11 Months 30 Days) will be prepared/

During Phase II , the trial for Phase I volunteers will continue in full in accordance with the Clinical Trial Regulations.

During the trial, not more than 350 children aged between 6 - 11 years (6 years 0 months - 0 days - 11 years 11 months 30 days) will be further screened, of which it is planned to include and randomize 300 children meeting the inclusion criteria and not falling under the non-inclusion criteria.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change from Baseline Geometric mean antibodies titer (GMT) at 28 days		Days 0-28
Primary	Change from Baseline Seroconversion rate at 28 days	An increase in the geometric mean titers of antibodies at Day 28 vs. the baseline level, expressed in the fold rise.; Seroconversion level = 40%.	Days 0-28
Primary	Change from Baseline Seroprotection rate at 28 days	The percentage of subjects with a generated protective influenza haemagglutinin antibody titer (HA titer) (at least 1:40) vs. the baseline level.; Seroprotection level = 70%.	Days 0-28
Primary	Change from Baseline Seroconversion factor at 28 days	The percentage of subjects who have a prevaccination titer of HA titer <1:10 and a post-vaccination HA titer >1:40 OR a prevaccination HA titer > 1:10 and at least a fourfold increase in post-vaccination HA titer vs. the baseline.; Seroconversion factor = 2.5.
