GSK 1388442A GroupTrivalent influenza vaccine GSK 138842ASubjects aged 18 to 49 years of age at the time of vaccination received 1 dose of GSK 1388442A vaccine at Day 0. The GSK 1388442A vaccine was administered intramuscularly in the deltoid region of the non-dominant arm.
Fluarix GroupFluarixSubjects aged 18 to 49 years of age at the time of vaccination received 1 dose of Fluarix® vaccine at Day 0. The Fluarix® vaccine was administered intramuscularly in the deltoid region of the non-dominant arm.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Subjects With Solicited Local Symptoms.During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post vaccination period

Solicited local symptoms were pain, redness and swelling at the injection site. Any = occurrence of a symptom regardless of intensity.

Number of Subjects With Solicited General Symptoms.During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post vaccination period

Solicited general symptoms were arthralgia, fatigue, headache, muscle aches, shivering and temperature, assessed as oral temperature above or equal (≥) 38.0 degrees Celsius (°C). Any = occurrence of a symptom regardless of intensity or relationship to vaccination.

Number of Subjects With Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs).During the 90-day (Days 0-89) post-vaccination period

Unsolicited AEs cover any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Any unsolicited AE = any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity or relationship to vaccination.

Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs).During the entire study period (Days 0-182)

Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. Any SAE = any SAE regardless of intensity or relationship to vaccination.

Number of Seroconverted Subjects Against 3 Strains of Influenza Disease.At Day 21

A seroconverted subject was defined as a vaccinated subject who had either a pre-vaccination titer \<1:10 and a post-vaccination titer ≥1:40 or a pre-vaccination titer ≥1:10 and at least a four-fold increase in post-vaccination titer. The 3 influenza strains assessed were A/Solomon Islands/3/2006 (H1N1), A/Wisconsin/67/2005 (H3N2) and B/Malaysia/2506/2004 (MALAY.)

Titers for Serum Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibodies for 3 Strains of Influenza Disease.At Day 21

Titers are presented as geometric mean titers (GMTs). The 3 influenza strains assessed were A/Solomon Islands/3/2006 (H1N1), A/Wisconsin/67/2005 (H3N2) and B/Malaysia/2506/2004 (MALAY.)

Number of Seroprotected Subjects Against 3 Strains of Influenza Disease.At Day 21

A seroprotected subject was defined as a vaccinated subject with a serum HI antibody titer ≥ 1:40, a level of HI antibody that has been viewed as correlating with protection against influenza. The 3 influenza strains assessed were A/Solomon Islands/3/2006 (H1N1), A/Wisconsin/67/2005 (H3N2) and B/Malaysia/2506/2004 (MALAY.)

Number of Subjects With Medically Attended Adverse Events (MAEs).During the entire study period (Days 0-182)

Medically-attended events (MAEs) refer to non-serious and serious events leading to an otherwise unscheduled visit to or from medical personnel for any reason, including emergency room visits and hospitalization. Related MAE = MAE assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

Number of Subjects With New Onset of Chronic Diseases (NOCDs).During the entire study period (Days 0-182)

NOCDs include conditions such as autoimmune disorders, asthma, type I diabetes, or allergies.

Geometric Mean Fold-rise (GMFR) in 3 Strains of Influenza Disease.At Day 0 and Day 21

GMFR was defined as the geometric mean of the ratio of the post-vaccination inverse HI titer to the Day 0 inverse HI titer. The 3 influenza strains assessed were A/Solomon Islands/3/2006 (H1N1), A/Wisconsin/67/2005 (H3N2) and B/Malaysia/2506/2004 (MALAY.)
