Summary
This is a Phase 3, randomized, parallel-group, comparator-controlled, observer-blind, multicenter study of immunogenicity and safety in approximately 7700 male and female adults aged 50 years and older (approximately equally split between two age groups: 50-64 years; 65 years and older), who are healthy or have stable comorbidities that increase their risk of complications from influenza infection. Three lots of aQIVc will be evaluated for consistency and pooled for the comparison with the 2 control vaccines. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of 3 lots of aQIVc, QIVr, or aQIV in a 1:1:1:2:2 ratio (for a 3:2:2 ratio for aQIVc, QIVr, and aQIV). The study will have a treatment period (Day 1 to Day 29) and a follow-up period (Day 30 up to Day 181); a subset of 770 subjects will be followed up up to Day 365.

  1. Immunogenicity Endpoint: Humoral immune responses of 3 lots of aQIVc compared in pairs in terms of Day 29 GMT ratio between each pair among the 3 lots, from antibody titers measured via HI assay.

    Timeframe: Day 29

    HI assay will be measured using cell-derived target viruses for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria vaccine strains.

  2. Immunogenicity Endpoint: Humoral immune responses of aQIVc in comparison with QIVr and aQIV vaccines in terms of Day 29 GMT and GMT ratio of antibodies measured via HI assay.

    Timeframe: Day 29

    HI assay will be measured using cell-derived target viruses for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria vaccine strains. Noninferiority of aQIVc versus comparator (QIVr or aQIV) will be demonstrated if the lower limit (LL) of the 2-sided 97.5% CI for the Day 29 GMT ratio (aQIVc/comparator) is ≥0.67 for each of the 4 vaccine strains.

  3. Immunogenicity Endpoint: Humoral immune responses of aQIVc in comparison with QIVr and aQIV vaccines in terms of Day 1 to Day 29 SCR and SCR difference, from antibody titers measured via HI assay.

    Timeframe: Day 1 and Day 29

    HI assay will be measured using cell-derived target viruses for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria vaccine strains. SCR is the percentage of subjects with seroconversion (defined as either a prevaccination \[Day 1\] titer \<1:10 and a postvaccination \[Day 29\] titer ≥1:40, or a prevaccination titer ≥1:10 and a ≥4-fold increase in postvaccination titer). Noninferiority of aQIVc versus comparator (QIVr or aQIV) will be demonstrated if the lower limit (LL) of the 2-sided 97.5% CI for the difference in SCR (aQIVc minus comparator) is ≥-10% for each of the 4 vaccine strains.

  1. Immunogenicity Endpoint: Humoral immune responses of aQIVc in comparison with aQIV vaccine in terms of Day 29 SCR and SCR difference, GMT and GMT ratio of antibodies measured via HI assay in subjects 65 years and older.

    Timeframe: Day 1 and Day 29

    HI assay will be measured using cell-derived target viruses for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria vaccine strains. Noninferiority will be demonstrated if the LL of the 2-sided adjusted CI for the Day 29 GMT ratio (aQIVc/comparator) is ≥0.67 for each of the 4 vaccine strains, and the LL of the 2-sided adjusted CI for the difference in SCR (aQIVc minus comparator) is ≥-10% for each of the 4 vaccine strains.

  2. Immunogenicity Endpoint: Humoral immune responses of aQIVc in comparison with QIVr and aQIV vaccines in terms of Day 29 GMT and GMT ratio of antibodies measured via HI assay.

    Timeframe: Day 29

    HI assay will be measured using cell-derived target viruses for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria vaccine strains. Superiority of aQIVc versus comparator (QIVr and aQIV) will be demonstrated if the LL of the 2-sided 97.5% CI for the inter-group GMT ratio (aQIVc/comparator) is \>1.0 for each of the 4 vaccine strains.

  3. Immunogenicity Endpoints: For aQIVc, QIVr, and aQIV vaccines, Day 29 GMT, Day 1 to Day 29 GMFI, Percentage of subjects with HI titer ≥1:40 at Day 29, Day 1 to Day 29 SCR, SCR differences and GMT ratio of antibodies measured via HI assay.
