Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to generate data on immunogenicity and safety of the monovalent H1N1 vaccine in support of the development and registration.

Primary objectives:

• To describe the immune response to vaccines 21 days after each vaccination in all participants.

• To describe the antibody persistence eight months after the first vaccine administration using hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) method in a subset of participants who received two half-doses of either formulation 1 or 2.

• To describe the immune response against the A/H1N1 strain using the HAI method 21 days after last vaccination with the 2010-2011 NH seasonal Trivalent Influenza Vaccine (TIV) administered 13 months after the first vaccination in a subset of subjects who received two half-doses of either t either formulation 1 or 2 of the A/H1N1 influenza vaccines as primary series.

• To describe the safety profile of each vaccine in all participants.

Description:

All participants will receive two injections of their randomized vaccine on Day 0 and Day 21, respectively.

A subset of the participants eligible who received two half-doses of either formulation 1 or 2 will also be proposed to receive the 2010-2011 Northern Hemisphere (NH) seasonal Trivalent Influenza Vaccine (TIV) 13 months after the first vaccination as Follows:

• Subjects less than 36 months at the time of TIV injection will receive two half-doses and additional sampling for immunogenicity assessment (one before the first TIV vaccination and one 21 days after last TIV vaccination).

• Subjects aged more than 36 months at the time of TIV injection will receive a full TIV dose and additional sampling for immunogenicity assessment (one before TIV vaccination and one 21 days after TIV vaccination).

Exclusion Criteria :

All subjects

• Participation in another clinical trial investigating a vaccine, drug, medical device, or a medical procedure in the 4 weeks preceding the first trial vaccination

• Planned participation in another clinical trial during the present trial period

• Receipt of any vaccine in the 4 weeks preceding the first trial vaccination

• Planned receipt of any vaccine prior to the Day 42 blood sample

• Receipt of blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months which might interfere with the assessment of immune response

• Seropositivity for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B antigen, or Hepatitis C as reported by parents/legal representative

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

• Thrombocytopenia contraindicating intramuscular (IM) vaccination as reported by parents/legal representative

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

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

• Family members of the employees or the Investigator

• Previous participation in a trial investigating a vaccine with the swine-origin A/H1N1 influenza strain

• Confirmed infection with the swine-origin A/H1N1 influenza strain (different from the seasonal strain) in 2009

• Febrile illness (temperature = 38.0°C) or moderate or severe acute illness/infection on the day of vaccination, according to Investigator judgment

• Receipt of any allergy shots and/or seasonal allergy medication in the 7-day period prior to enrollment (vaccination), or scheduled to receive any allergy shots and/or seasonal allergy medication in the 7-day period after enrollment (vaccination)

Subjects = 6 to < 24 months of age - History of seizures

At Month 8, for antibody persistence assessment:

• Subjects who received, in the context of a pandemic immunization program, another A/H1N1 pandemic influenza vaccine than the Investigational Medicinal Products.
