A Study to Evaluate Safety, Immunogenicity, and Lot-to-Lot Consistency of H5N1 Subunit Influenza Virus Vaccine in Healthy Adult Subjects ≥18 Years of Age

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Avian Influenza
Interventions
Biological: aH5N1c
Biological: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02839330
Lead Sponsor
Seqirus
Brief Summary

This Phase 3 study evaluates the safety, immunogenicity and lot-to lot consistency of 3 lots of aH5N1c vaccine for pandemic avian influenza, in approximately 2394 healthy adults ≥18 years of age receiving the vaccine and 797 healthy adults receiving placebo. Subjects were randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive either aH5N1c vaccine or saline placebo. Enrollment was stratified by age: 18 to \<65 years of age and ≥65 years of age, to allow adequate safety assessment of the entire age spectrum.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Primary Immunogenicity Endpoint: Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) at Day 43 by LotDay 1, Day 43

Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) GMT was assessed at Day 1 and Day 43 for 3 consecutively produced lots.

Percentage of Subjects With Solicited Local, Solicited Systemic, and Other Adverse Events (AEs) as Measured for 7 Days (Inclusive) Following Each VaccinationDay 1 to Day 7

Percentages of subjects with solicited local, solicited systemic, and other AEs as measured for 7 days (inclusive) following each vaccination (first and second) and any (first or second) vaccination, by treatment group and calculated for several time intervals after vaccination : 30 minutes, 1 to 3 days (without 30 minutes), 4 to 7 days, and 1 to 7 days (without 30 minutes), and 1 to 3 days (including 30 minutes) and 1 to 7 days (including 30 minutes). Analysis for intervals of the first 30 minutes, days 1 to 3, and days 4 to 7 was not performed.

Percentages of Subjects With Any Unsolicited AEs Reported Through 21 Day After VaccinationDay 1 to Day 43

Percentages of subjects with any unsolicited AEs reported through 21 days after each (first and second) and any (first or second) vaccination by treatment group.

Primary Immunogenicity Endpoint: Percentage of Subjects With Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Titer ≥ 1:40 at Day 43 by Age CohortDay 1, Day 43

Percentage of subjects with HI titer ≥ 1:40 at Day 43 was assessed by age cohort (18 to \<65 years of age and ≥65 years of age) for the pooled lots. Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) criterion for subjects aged 18 to \<65 years: The lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI for the percentage of subjects achieving an HI antibody titer ≥1:40 should meet or exceed 70%. CBER criterion for subjects aged ≥65 years: The lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI for the percentage of subjects achieving an HI antibody titer ≥1:40 should meet or exceed 60%.

Percentages of Subjects Reporting SAEs, AESIs, NOCD, AEs Leading to Vaccine/Study Withdrawal, and Medically Attended AEs, and Concomitant Medications Associated With These Events as Collected From Day 1 to Day 387, by Vaccine Group.Day 1 to Day 387

Percentages of subjects with any adverse events (AE), adverse events of special interest (AESI), new onset of chronic disease (NOCD), and serious adverse event (SAE) through study termination by treatment group.

Percentage of subjects achieving seroconversion (defined as: HI titer ≥1:40 for subjects negative at baseline \[HI titer \<1:10\]; or a minimum 4-fold increase in HI titer for subjects positive at baseline \[HI titer ≥1:10\]) on Day 22, and Day 43 by vaccine group (aH5N1c or placebo) and by age cohort (18 to \<60 years of age and ≥60 years of age)
