Group Intervention Description Fluarix/Influsplit 18-60 Years Group Fluarix/Influsplit SSW 2012-2013 Subjects 18-60 years of age received 1 dose of Fluarix/Influsplit SSW 2012-2013 vaccine at Day 0. The vaccine was administered intramuscularly in the deltoid of the non-dominant arm. Fluarix/Influsplit > 60 Years Group Fluarix/Influsplit SSW 2012-2013 Subjects above 60 years of age received 1 dose of Fluarix/Influsplit SSW 2012-2013 vaccine at Day 0. The vaccine was administered intramuscularly in the deltoid of the non-dominant arm.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Humoral Immune Response in Terms of Haemagglutination (HA) Antibody Titers Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains At Day 0 and Day 21 Antibody titers were expressed as Geometric mean titers (GMTs). The vaccine strains assessed were Flu A/Christchurch/16/10 (H1N1), Flu A/Victoria/361/11 (H3N2) and Flu B/Hubei-Wujiagang/158/09 (Yamagata).
Number of Subjects Who Were Seroprotected for Anti-HA Antibodies Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains. At Day 0 and Day 21 Seroprotection rate (SPR) was defined as the number of vaccinees with serum haemagglutination inhibition (HI) titer greater than or equal to (≥) 1:40.
Mean Geometric Increase (MGI) for Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titer Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains. At Day 21 MGI was defined as the fold increase in serum HI GMT post-vaccination compared to Day 0.
Number of Seroconverted Subjects for Anti-HA Antibodies Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains. At Day 21 A seroconverted subjects was defined as a vaccinee with either a pre-vaccination titer less than (\<) 1:10 and a post-vaccination titer ≥ 1:40, or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and at least a 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer.
Number of Subjects With Seroprotection Power (SPP) for HI Antibody Titer Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains Above the Cut-off Value. At Day 21 SPP was defined as the number of vaccinees with a pre-vaccination titer \< 1:40 and a post-vaccination titer ≥ 1:40.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Duration of Solicited Local Symptoms. During the 4-day follow-up period (Days 0-3) after vaccination Duration was defined as number of days with any grade of local symptoms.
Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms. During the 4-day (Day 0-Day 3) follow-up period after vaccination Solicited local symptoms assessed were ecchymosis, induration, pain, redness and swelling. Any was defined as any solicited local symptom reported irrespective of intensity. Grade 3 pain was defined as pain that prevented normal everyday activities. Grade 3 ecchymosis, induration, redness and swelling was greater than 100 millimeters (mm) i.e. \>100mm.
Duration of Solicited General Symptoms. During the 4-day follow-up period (Days 0-3) after vaccination Duration was defined as number of days with any grade of general symptoms.
Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) During the entire study period (Days 0-21) A serious adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence that: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in disability/incapacity or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination and related was an event assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.
Number of Subjects Who Were Seroprotected for Anti-HA Antibodies Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains. At Day 0 and Day 21 Seroprotection rate SPR was defined as the number of vaccinees with serum haemagglutination inhibition (HI) titer greater than or equal to (≥) 1:40. The outcome measure was assessed by the influenza vaccination status in the 2011-2012 season, in subjects aged \> 60 years.
Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs). During the 21-day follow-up period (Days 0-20) after vaccination Unsolicited AE covers any AE reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as occurrence of any unsolicited symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination. Grade 3 was an event that prevented normal activities and related was defined as an unsolicited AE assessed by the investigator to be causally related to the study vaccination.
Humoral Immune Response in Terms of Anti-HA Antibodies Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains. At Day 0 and Day 21 Antibody titers were expressed as Geometric mean titers (GMTs). The vaccine strains included H1N1, H3N2 and Yamagata antigens. The outcome measure was assessed by influenza vaccination status in the 2011-2012 season, in subjects aged greater than (\>) 60 years.
Number of Subjects Who Seroconverted for Anti-HA Antibodies Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains. At Day 21 SCR was defined as the number of vaccinees with either a pre-vaccination titer less than (\<) 1:10 and a post-vaccination titer ≥ 1:40, or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and at least 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer. The outcome measure was assessed by influenza vaccination status in the 2011-2012 season, in subjects aged \> 60 years.
Mean Geometric Increase (MGI) for Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titer Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains. At Day 21 MGI was defined as the fold increase in serum HI GMT post-vaccination compared to Day 0. This outcome measure was assessed by influenza vaccination status in the 2011-2012 season, in subjects aged \> 60 years.
Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms. During the 4-day follow-up period (Day 0-3) after vaccination Solicited general symptoms assessed were arthralgia, fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms, headache, myalgia, shivering, increased sweating and fever \[axillary temperature above 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)\]. Gastrointestinal symptoms included nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and/or abdominal pain.
Any = any solicited general symptom reported irrespective of intensity and relationship to vaccination. Related = symptoms considered by the investigator to have a causal relationship to vaccination. Grade 3 symptoms = symptoms that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = axillary temperature above 39.0°C
