Study Overview
Brief Summary
Primary Objective:
To describe the immunogenicity of an injection of the investigational inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine 21 days after vaccination in 18 to 60 years old renal transplant subjects identified as non-responder to previous vaccination with the IM reference vaccine (Vaxigrip®).
Secondary Objective:
To describe the safety of an injection of the investigational inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine in 18 to 60 years old renal transplant subjects identified as non-responder to previous vaccination with the IM reference vaccine
Detailed Description
The trial is a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial in renal transplant subjects aged 18 to 60 years who are non-responders to vaccination with the reference vaccine. Subjects will be randomized to receive either the 2007-2008 15 µg investigational vaccine or the 2007-2008 IM reference vaccine.
