Overview
Brief Summary
The study is aim to evaluate the Immunogenicity with two groups of participants who will received a seasonal trivalent split, inactivated influenza vaccine (A/H1N1; A/H3N2 and B) or an active comparator (licensed influenza vaccine).
Detailed Description
This is a phase III, non-inferiority double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial of immunogenicity with two groups of participants who will received a seasonal trivalent split, inactivated influenza vaccine (A/H1N1; A/H3N2 and B) or an active comparator (licensed influenza vaccine). A total of about 816 healthy Thai male and female adult volunteers ≥ 65 years of age; 408 participants will be randomized to receive the GPO Tri Fluvac and 408 will receive an active comparator (a 1:1 ratio).

For individuals with medical conditions, symptoms/signs, if present must be stable, under control or unchanged for the past three months. If medication is used to treat the condition, the medication dose must have been stable for at least one month preceding vaccination.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Participation in another clinical trial involving any therapy within the previous three months or planned enrollment in such a trial during the period of this study.
- •Hypersensitivity after previous administration of any vaccine.
- •Having a history of H1N1, H3N2 or FluB infection within 3 months preceding enrollment to the trial
- •Vaccination against influenza in the past 6 months preceding enrollment to the trial
- •Receipt of any non-study vaccine within four weeks prior to enrollment or refusal to postpone receipt of such vaccines until after the Day 28 visit.
- •History of bronchial asthma, chronic lung diseases, chronic rhinitis
- •History of immunodeficiency state
- •History of immunosuppression \< 6 months prior to immunization
- •History of anaphylactic or other allergic reactions to influenza vaccine or any vaccine component or excipient (e.g. egg proteins, gentamicin or thimerosal)
- •History of Guillain-Barré Syndrome or cerebrovascular events
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number and percentage of seroconverted participants at 28 days post vaccination
Time Frame: 28 days
seroconversion is defined as a serum HI antibody titer meeting the following four fold rising criteria: * Pre-vaccination titer \<1:10 and a post-vaccination measured on Day 28 of ≥1:40; or * Pre-vaccination titer ≥1:10 and at least a four-fold increase in post-vaccination measured on Day 28.
Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of serum HI antibodies at baseline (Day 0) and post- vaccination (Day 28).
Time Frame: 28 days
Geometric mean titers (GMTs) of serum HI antibodies pre- (Day 0) and post-vaccination (Day 28) for each of the three vaccine antigens. GMTs will be calculated with 95% CI.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number and percentage of participants with HI response with and without pre-existing HI antibody.(28 days)
- Number and percentage of participants with serious adverse event.(180 days)
- Number and percentage of participants with unsolicited adverse event.(180 days)
- Number and percentage of participants with solicited local and systemic adverse events. post vaccination(30 minutes, Day 1-3 post-vaccination)
