  Purpose

The study primarily aims to evaluate immunogenicity and safety of influenza vaccines (cell culture derived seasonal trivalent influenza vaccine (cTIV) or influenza virus vaccine (egg-derived seasonal trivalent, thiomersal free; eTIV_a)) when administered alone and when administered concomitantly with pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PV) in elderly subjects. The Study also aimed to evaluate safety and immunogenicity (subset) of annual vaccination with either cTIV or eTIV_a in adults and elderly subjects.

Primary Purpose: Prevention
Official Title: A Phase III, Single-Blind, Multi-Center, Extension Study to Evaluate Safety and Tolerability of a Trivalent Subunit Influenza Vaccine Produced Either in Mammalian Cell Culture or in Embryonated Hen Eggs in Adult and Elderly Subjects Who Participated in Study V58P4, With Subset Analyses of Immunogenicity and Evaluation of Concomitant Polysaccharide Pneumococcal Vaccine (Elderly).

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of Randomized Participants Reporting Local and Systemic Reactions [ Time Frame: One week postvaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Safety and tolerability evaluation of influenza vaccines, within one week of single intramuscular injection.

  • Immunogenicity Assessment by Geometric Mean Titers (GMT) [ Time Frame: Three weeks postvaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Non-inferiority of the influenza vaccine FLU (cell-culture derived seasonal trivalent influenza vaccine (cTIV); and influenza virus vaccine (egg-derived seasonal trivalent, thiomersal free; eTIV_a)) when administered alone versus administered concomitantly with pneumococcal vaccine (FLU + PV) is met if lower limit of the 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) of postvaccination (Day 22) Geometric Mean Titer ratio (FLU+PV/FLU) is greater than 0.5.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of Unrandomized Participants Reporting Local and Systemic Reactions [ Time Frame: One week postvaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Safety and tolerability evaluation of influenza vaccines, within one week of single intramuscular injection.

  • Number of Randomized Participants Reporting Local and Systemic Reactions. [ Time Frame: One week postvaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Safety and tolerability evaluation, within one week of single intramuscular injection of influenza vaccines (cell-culture derived seasonal trivalent influenza vaccine (cTIV) or influenza virus vaccine (egg-derived seasonal trivalent, thiomersal free; eTIV_a) when administered alone or concomitantly with a pneumococcal vaccine (PV).

  • Number of Subjects With Antibody Response as Assessed by Hemagglutination Inhibition Assay [ Time Frame: Three weeks postvaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    Immunogenicity (Seroconversion or significant increase in antibody titer and HI titer ≥1:40) of cell cultured and egg based trivalent influenza vaccine three weeks after a single injection, by the measurement of strain-specific hemagglutination inhibition (HI) tests according to the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) criteria (CPMP/BWP/214/96).

    Seroconversion was defined as negative pre-vaccination titer (<10)/postvaccination titer ≥40. Significant increase in antibody titer was defined as at least a fourfold increase from non-negative baseline (≥10).


  • Geometric Mean Ratio (GMR Day 22/Day1) After Single Dose of Influenza Vaccine [ Time Frame: Three weeks postvaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    Immunogenicity (geometric mean titer ratio) of cell cultured and egg based trivalent influenza vaccine three weeks after a single injection, by the measurement of strain-specific hemagglutination inhibition (HI) tests according to the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) criteria (CPMP/BWP/214/96).

    CHMP Criteria fulfilled if the Geometric Mean titer Ratio (GMR) is >2.5.
