Immunogenicity, Safety and Tolerability of Two Doses of Adjuvanted and Non-adjuvanted Swine Origin A/H1N1 Monovalent Influenza Vaccine in Healthy Subjects From 6 Months to 17 Years of Age

Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Pandemic Influenza
• Interventions: Biological: Monovalent A/H1N1 influenza vaccine

• Registration Number: NCT00971100
• Lead Sponsor: Novartis Vaccines

Brief Summary

The present study, randomized, single-blind, dose-ranging, multicenter study, will evaluate immunogenicity, safety and tolerability of two doses of adjuvanted and not-adjuvanted new swine-origin influenza A/H1N1 virus monovalent subunit vaccine in healthy children and adolescents. A booster dose will be administered 12 months after the first vaccination.
