Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' investigational influenza vaccine GSK2340274A following one dose and following a second dose, using the same dosage as has been used in the H5N1 development program in Japanese children aged 10-17 years and an alternative dose in children aged 6 months to 9 years.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Subjects who the investigator believes that their parent(s)/Legally Acceptable Representative(s) (LAR) can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol.
- •Japanese children, male or female, aged between 6 months and 17 years at the time of the first study vaccination.
- •Written informed consent obtained from the subject's parent(s) or LAR(s) of the subject. Whenever possible, an assent should also be obtained from the subject.
- •Healthy children as established by medical history and clinical examination when entering into the study (Particular attention must be exercised when dealing with patients with bronchial asthma).
- •Parent/LAR with access to a consistent means of telephone contact, land line or mobile, but NOT a pay phone or other multiple-user device.
- •Female subjects of childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study, if the subject: has practiced adequate contraception for 30 days prior to vaccination, and has a negative pregnancy test on the day of vaccination, and has agreed to continue adequate contraception during the entire treatment period and for 2 months after completion of the vaccination series.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine within 30 days preceding the first dose of the study vaccine or planned use during the study period.
- •Clinically or virologically confirmed influenza infection from May 2009 to the day of enrolment.
- •Previous administration of a novel \[H1N1\]v vaccine.
- •Administration of any vaccines within 30 days before vaccination or planned administration within the first vaccination up to blood sampling at Day 42 and within 30 days prior to blood sampling at Day 182, with the exception of seasonal influenza vaccine.
- •Administration of any seasonal influenza vaccine within 14 days before vaccination on Day 0, or planned administration within the first vaccination up to blood sampling at Day 42 and within 14 days prior to blood sampling at Day
- •Excessive underweight or excessive obesity. (Under or upper 2-fold standard deviation of weight distribution that are corresponding age group are used as reference).
- •Chronic administration of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within three months prior to enrolment in this study or planned administration during the study period.
- •Acute disease and/or fever at the time of enrolment:
- •Fever is defined as temperature \>= 37.5°C on oral, axillary or tympanic setting, or \>= 38.0°C on rectal setting.
- •Subjects with a minor illness (such as mild diarrhoea, mild upper respiratory infection) without fever may be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Seroprotected Subjects for HI Antibodies
Time Frame: At Day 42
A seroprotected subject was defined as a vaccinated subject with a serum hemagglutination inhibition (HI) titer equal to or above (≥) 1:40. The Flu strain assessed was Flu A/CAL/7/09, in subjects aged between 6 months to 9 years and 10 to 17 years, following the CHMP and the CBER guidance. The CBER Criterion was fulfilled if the lower 97.5% confidence interval for seroprotection (SPR) was \> 70%. The CHMP Criterion was fulfilled if the post-vaccination point estimate for SPR was \> 70%.
Number of Subjects With Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Concentrations Above the Cut-off Value
Time Frame: At Day 42
The cut-off values for the humoral immune response in terms of vaccine H1N1 HI antibodies were equal to or above (≥) 1:10. The Flu strain assessed was A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)v-like virus (Flu A/CAL/7/09), in subjects aged between 6 months to 9 years and 10 to 17 years, following the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) and the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) guidance.
Titers for Serum HI Antibodies Against Flu A/CAL/7/09 Strain of Influenza Disease
Time Frame: At Day 42
Titers are presented as geometric mean titers (GMTs). The reference seropositivity cut-off value was ≥ 1:10. The Flu strain assessed was Flu A/CAL/7/09, in subjects aged between 6 months to 9 years and 10 to 17 years, following the CHMP and the CBER guidance.
Number of Seroconverted Subjects for HI Antibodies
Time Frame: At Day 42
Seroconversion (SCR) was defined as follows: For initially seronegative subjects, antibody titer ≥ 1:40 after vaccination; For initially seropositive subjects, antibody titer after vaccination ≥ 4 fold the pre-vaccination antibody titer. The Flu strain assessed was Flu A/CAL/7/09, in subjects aged between 6 months to 9 years and 10 to 17 years, following the CHMP and the CBER guidance. The CBER criterion was fulfilled if the lower 97.5% confidence interval for SCR was \> 40%. The CHMP criterion was fulfilled if the point estimate for SCR was \> 40%.
Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) for HI Antibodies Against Flu A/CAL/7/09 Strain of Influenza Disease
Time Frame: At Day 42
GMFR, also called seroconversion factor (SCF), was defined as the fold increase in serum HI GMTs post-vaccination compared to pre-vaccination. The Flu strain assessed was Flu A/CAL/7/09, in subjects aged between 6 months to 9 years and 10 to 17 years, following the CHMP guidance. The CHMP Criterion was fulfilled if the point estimate for GMFR was \> 2.5.
