Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Seroconversion or Significant Increase in Single Radial Hemolysis (SRH) Area Against Each of Three Vaccine Strains After One Vaccination of FLUAD

Immunogenicity was measured as the percentage of participants who achieved seroconversion or significant increase in single radial hemolysis (SRH) area, against each of the three vaccine strains, three weeks after vaccination (day 21), evaluated using SRH assay. Seroconversion: proportion of participants with negative pre-vaccination serum and a post-vaccination serum area ≥ 25 mm2. Significant increase: proportion of participants with at least a 50% increase in area from positive pre-vaccination serum. Seroconversion or significant increase: proportion of participants with either seroconversion or significant increase. The European (Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use \[CHMP\]) criterion is met, if percentage of participants achieving seroconversion or significant increase in SRH area is 30% (≥65 years).

Time frame: Day 21

Geometric Mean Ratio of Participants Against Each of the Three Vaccine Strains After One Vaccination of FLUAD

Geometric mean ratio (GMR) of participants was calculated as the ratio of post-vaccination to pre-vaccination SRH geometric mean areas (GMAs), directed against each of the three vaccine strains, three weeks after FLUAD vaccination (day 21). The CHMP criterion was met if the geometric mean increase (GMR, day 21/day 0) in SRH antibody area is \>2.0 (≥65 years).

Time frame: day 21

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved SRH Area ≥25mm2 Against Each of the Three Vaccine Strains After One Vaccination of FLUAD

Immunogenicity was measured as the percentage of participants achieving SRH area ≥25 mm2 against each of the three vaccine strains at baseline (day 0) and three weeks after FLUAD vaccination (day 21). This criterion is met according to CHMP guideline if percentage of participants achieving SRH area ≥25 mm2 is 60% (≥65 years).

Time frame: day 21

Number of Participants Who Reported Solicited Local and Systemic Reactions

Safety was assessed for participants who reported solicited local and systemic reactions from day 0 up to and including day 3 after the FLUAD vaccination.
