Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Influenza | Biological: Multi-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine Biological: Single-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine | Phase 3 |
Participants aged 9 to 17 years will receive one dose of either the multi-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine or the quadrivalent influenza vaccine in a single-dose presentation and participants aged 6 months to 8 years will receive 2 doses of either vaccine, 28 days apart.
All participants will provide a pre-vaccination blood sample on Day 0 and a post-vaccination blood sample either on Day 28 (participants aged 9 to 17 years) or on Day 56 (participants aged 6 months to 8 years) for immunogenicity testing.
All participants will be followed for safety evaluation up to 6 months after the last vaccination.

Experimental: Multi-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine
Quadrivalent influenza vaccine (split-virion, inactivated, 2017-2018 formulation, thiomersal containing) in multi-dose presentation. Participants aged 9 to 17 years will receive 1 dose and subjects aged 6 months to 8 years will receive 2 doses 28 days apart

Biological: Multi-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine
0.5 mL, intramuscular |
Active Comparator: Single-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine
Quadrivalent influenza vaccine (split-virion, inactivated, 2017-2018 formulation, thiomersal free) in single-dose syringe presentation. Participants aged 9 to 17 years will receive 1 dose and subjects aged 6 months to 8 years will receive 2 doses 28 days apart

- Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Antibodies after Vaccination with Multi-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine or Single-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 28 (post-last vaccination) ]Anti-hemagglutinin (HA) antibody titers against the 4 influenza strains are assessed by a hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay
- GMT Ratio after Vaccination with Multi-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine or Single-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 28 (post-last vaccination) ]Anti-HA antibody titers against the 4 influenza strains are assessed by an HAI assay. GMT ratio is assessed as the individual ratio of post-/pre-vaccination titers
- Seroconversion Rates after Vaccination with Multi-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine or Single-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 28 (post-last vaccination) ]Anti-HA antibody titers against the 4 influenza strains are assessed by an HAI assay. Seroconversion is defined as either post-vaccination titer ≥ 40 (1/dil), or pre-vaccination titer ≥ 10 (1/dil) and ≥ 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer
- Percentage of Participants Reporting Solicited Injection Site or Systemic Reactions after Vaccination with Multi-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine or Single-dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) to Day 7 (after any vaccination) ]Solicited injection site reactions are tenderness/pain,erythema, swelling, induration, ecchymosis, and solicited systemic reactions are fever, vomiting, crying abnormal, drowsiness, appetite lost, irritability (for children ≤ 23 months), and fever, headache, malaise, myalgia, and shivering (for children 2 to 17 years)

- Participation at the time of study enrollment (or in the 4 weeks preceding the first study vaccination) or planned participation during the present study period in another clinical study investigating a vaccine, drug, device, or medical procedure
- Receipt of any vaccine or planned receipt of any vaccine within the period from 2 weeks before the first study vaccination to 2 weeks following the last study vaccination
- Previous vaccination against influenza (in the preceding 6 months) with either the study vaccine or another vaccine for subjects aged 9 to 17 years.
-
For subjects aged 6 months to 8 years:
- Any influenza vaccination (from birth to the day of inclusion) with either the study vaccine or another vaccine
- Any previous laboratory confirmed influenza infection
- Receipt of immune globulins, blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months
- Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy, within the preceding 6 months; or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy (prednisone or equivalent for more than 2 consecutive weeks within the past 3 months)
