Primary Endpoint
Compare immunogenicity of a single IM inj. of an adj. inactivated subunit flu vaccine vs. inactivated subunit virus flu vaccine, with regards to A/H3N2 antigen, when administered to adults with underlying chronic disease, as measured by HI test at day 22

Study Overview

Brief Summary

This phase III is designed to confirm the previous trial results evaluating the safety, clinical tolerability and immunogenicity of the 2006-2007 formulation of Novartis Vaccines' adjuvanted influenza vaccine and subunit influenza vaccine in adults with underlying chronic diseases.

  • History of neurological symptoms or signs, or anaphylactic shock following administration of any vaccine;
  • Known or suspected impairment/ alteration of immune function;
  • Any condition which might interfere with the evaluation of the study objectives

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Compare immunogenicity of a single IM inj. of an adj. inactivated subunit flu vaccine vs. inactivated subunit virus flu vaccine, with regards to A/H3N2 antigen, when administered to adults with underlying chronic disease, as measured by HI test at day 22

Secondary Outcomes

  • To evaluate the safety of a single IM injection of the two influenza vaccines, when administered to adult subjects with underlying chronic disease(s).
  • Compare immunogenicity of an IM injection of an adj. inactivated subunit flu vaccine vs. inactivated subunit virus flu vaccine, with regards to B antigen, when administered to adults with underlying chronic disease, as measured by HI test at day 22
  • Evaluate immunog. of a single IM inj. of an adj. inactivated subunit flu vaccine vs. inactivated subunit virus flu vaccine, with regards to A/H1N1 antigen, when administered to adults with underlying chronic disease, as measured by HI test at day 22
