Trial Outcomes & Findings for Immunogenicity of Influenza Vaccinations (NCT NCT06518577)

NCT ID: NCT06518577

Last Updated: 2026-07-28

Results Overview

The percent of participants with a seroprotective antibody titer (≥1:40) for each influenza vaccine antigen was determined. Cell-grown A(H1N1)pdm09 and B/Victoria were measured by hemagglutination inhibition (HAI), while A(H3N2) titers were measured by microneutralization.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Visit 2 (Days 28-42, Post-vaccination)

Population: Immunogenicity Population: A subset of the mITT population that includes only participants who received the study vaccine, provided Visit 1 and Visit 2 blood draws available with HAI titer results for analysis within the protocol-defined time frame, did not have an influenza infection between Visits 1 and 2, and had no protocol violations affecting immunogenicity.

The percent of participants with a seroprotective antibody titer (≥1:40) for each influenza vaccine antigen was determined. Cell-grown A(H1N1)pdm09 and B/Victoria were measured by hemagglutination inhibition (HAI), while A(H3N2) titers were measured by microneutralization.

Timeframe: Up to Visit 2 (Days 28-42, Post-vaccination)

Population: Immunogenicity Population: A subset of the mITT population that includes only participants who received the study vaccine, provided Visit 1 and Visit 2 blood draws available with HAI titer results for analysis within the protocol-defined time frame, did not have an influenza infection between Visits 1 and 2, and had no protocol violations affecting immunogenicity.

The geometric mean antibody titer (GMT) for each influenza vaccine antigen in the 2024-2025 influenza season. GMTs were calculated as the anti-log of the mean of log-transformed titers. Cell-grown A(H1N1)pdm09 and B/Victoria were assessed by hemagglutination inhibition (HAI), whereas A(H3N2) was assessed by microneutralization.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 29 post-vaccination assessment (Visit 2; scheduled for Day 29 with an allowable window of Days 28-42 post-vaccination)

Population: Immunogenicity Population: A subset of the mITT population that includes only participants who received the study vaccine, provided Visit 1 and Visit 2 blood draws available with HAI titer results for analysis within the protocol-defined time frame, did not have an influenza infection between Visits 1 and 2, and had no protocol violations affecting immunogenicity.

The percent of participants in each vaccination group demonstrating seroconversion from Baseline at Day 29 (defined as a titer ≥1:40 at Day 29 if the baseline titer is \<1:10, or a ≥4-fold rise in titer at Day 29 if the baseline titer is ≥1:10) for each vaccine antigen. Viruses tested were cell-grown A(H1N1)pdm09 and B/Victoria using hemagglutination inhibition (HAI), and A(H3N2) using microneutralization.
