Annual Study to Investigate Inactivated Subunit Influenza Vaccine Due to New Virus Strains for the Southern Hemisphere 2015 Season

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Influenza
Interventions
Biological: Trivalent influenza subunit vaccine Influvac
Registration Number
NCT02381418
Lead Sponsor
Abbott
Brief Summary

Influenza (flu) viruses change continuously, therefore also the parts of viruses used in influenza vaccines can vary from year to year. The current study is a phase III A clinical trial with a commercially available vaccine (Influvac®) supplied in pre filled syringes. The objective of this study is to investigate the immunogenicity and safety and tolerability of the changed influenza vaccine virus composition in two groups of subjects in good health: subjects aged \>= 18 and \<= 60 years and subjects \>= 61 years of age (elderly).
