A Randomized, Partially-Blinded, Active Comparator-Controlled, Dose-Ranging, Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity Phase 1/2 Study of an Adjuvanted Seasonal Recombinant Quadrivalent VLP Influenza Vaccine in Adults 65 Years of Age and Older

Detailed Summary

This randomized, partially-blinded, active comparator-controlled was conducted at multiple sites globally. The composition of QVLP used in this study includes a mix of recombinant H1, H3, and two B hemagglutinin proteins expressed as VLPs and is based on the 2020-2021 influenza virus strains. In this study, 3 dose levels (15 μg/strain, 30 μg/strain, and 45 μg/strain) of QVLP were planned to be tested in combination with 2 dose levels of AS03 adjuvant (full and half dose) in a single-dose regimen to select a dose level of QVLP and adjuvant dose level-combination that is safe and effective for further development. Participants participated in this study for up to approximately 13 months, during which the first visit was scheduled for screening (up to 7 days in advance of vaccine administration) and the second visit on Day 0 was scheduled for vaccine administration. Telephone contacts were made on Day 1, Day 8, and monthly (starting after Day 28) until the end of the study for safety assessments, including concomitant medication use review. Blood draws at the clinic site for key safety assessments were made on Day 3, and Day 28 and for key immunogenicity assessments on Day 0, Day 28, Day 182 (6-month follow-up), and Day 365 (12-month follow-up).
