Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of Fluarix™ 2006/2007 in Adults Aged 18 Years or Above

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Influenza
Registration Number
NCT00345904
Lead Sponsor
GlaxoSmithKline
Brief Summary

Vaccination is currently the most effective mean of controlling influenza and preventing its complications and mortality in persons at risk. Because of the variable nature of influenza viruses, the composition of influenza vaccines changes almost every year, to target the 3 main circulating strains. Each year the influenza vaccine formulation may thus be different and clinical studies are mandated to ensure that the immunogenicity and safety of the vaccine formulated from the three annual circulating strains are similar to what was observed during the previous years.

This study is designed to test the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of the Fluarix™ vaccine containing the influenza strains recommended for the 2006-2007 season.
