入选标准
- •written informed consent provided by the subject, who can be male or female
- •subjects who the investigator believes can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol (i.e. return for follow-up visits, record safety observations and able to converse with study personnel including by personal telephone
- •male or female age 65-75 years at visit 1
- •in generally good health (stable chronic conditions acceptable), living independently or with minimal assistance (clinical frailty score 1-5) and able to attend clinic appointments
- •receipt of influenza vaccination for the 2012-2013 influenza season
排除标准
- •receipt of any live vaccine within 4 weeks or inactivated vaccine within one week of visit 1 or planned administration of any non-study vaccines between visits 1 and 2
- •systemic hypersensitivity to influenza vaccine, hen's eggs or other vaccine constituent e.g. neomycin sulphate, kanamycin, formalin
- •severe reaction to any previous influenza vaccine or vaccine component
- •bleeding disorder, including anticoagulant therapy or thrombocytopenia, that contraindicates IM (intramuscular) injection or blood collection (does not include daily low dose ASA (acetylsalicylic acid), Plavix, and certain other mild anticoagulants with minimal bleeding risk)
- •incapacity to provide fully informed consent or be attentive to follow-up observations, resulting from cognitive impairment, abuse of alcohol, or drug addiction
- •lack of telephone access, inadequate fluency in English, uncertain availability during the 4 week study participation
- •immune compromise resulting from disease or immunosuppressive systemic medication use within 3 months of visit 1
- •receipt of blood or blood products within 3 months of visit 1
- •unstable medical conditions, as indicated by a requirement for hospitalization or a substantial medication change to stabilize said condition within 3 months.
- •personal frailty, determined by Clinical Frailty score of 6-7 (moderately frail or severely frail)or failure on the TUG test (Timed Up and Go time greater than 10 seconds) or inability to walk 1/4 mile, based on self report
- •history of Guillain-Barre Syndrome
- •psoriasis
- •recent or current febrile illness with oral temperature greater or equal to 38.0 degrees centigrade or other moderate to severe illness within the previous 48 hours (may vaccinate once condition has resolved)

结局指标
主要结局
Reactogenicity of the vaccine regimens
时间窗: Day 0 - Day 28
Reactogenicity of the vaccine regimens (Intanza+resiquimod gel; Intanza+placebo gel) will be collected from Day 0 (pre vaccination) to Day 7. The change from Day 0 to Day 7 will be measured. The following information will be collected and compared 1) local pain (none, mild, moderate, severe; 2) injection site redness, swelling, induration measured in millimeters; itchiness present or not 3) bruising; 4) fever-values greater than or equal to 38.0 will be considered fever; 5) general symptoms-shivering, sweating nausea, vomiting diarrhea will be measured for presence or absence; 6) general symptoms-myalgia (muscle aches), arthralgia (joint aches), malaise (feeling unwell), tiredness/fatigue, headache and sleep disturbance will be measured as mild, moderate or severe
HAI (hemagglutination inhibition)titres
时间窗: Day 28 post vaccination
The primary immunologic outcome will be the 28 day post vaccination immune (HAI, hemagglutination immune assay titer)responses to the 3 vaccine strains present in each vaccine, assessed by the EMEA/CHMP (European Medicines Evaluation/Committee on Human Medicinal Products) Agency criteria for evaluation on immune response to influenza vaccines in persons over 60 years of age. The measurements include seroconversion rate (CHMP threshold greater than 30%), geometric mean titre (GMT) fold-increase or ratio (threshold greater than 2) and seroprotection rate (threshold greater than 60%). Whether the CHMP threshold for each measurement is met or exceeded per strain will be noted between products as descriptive information.
Granzyme B levels and Interferon gamma to interleukin 10 ratios
时间窗: Day 0 and Day 28 post vaccination
The day 0 (pre vaccination) and day 28 Granzyme B levels and Interferon gamma to interleukin 10 ratios will be measured and the change in levels from Day 0 to Day 28 will be compared in the 2 groups: 1) Intanza+resiquimod gel; 2) Intanza+placebo gel
次要结局
- Change in Microneutralization titres(Day 0 and Day 28 post vaccination)
- baseline Granzyme B Activity(Day 0 and Day 28 post vaccination)
