E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess immunogenicity of two 0.5 mL intramuscular IM injections of two FLUAD-like influenza vaccines containing either 7.5 mcg or 15 mcg of H5N1 influenza antigen, as measured by hemagglutination inhibition HI test in compliance with the requirements of the current European Union recommendations CPMP/BWP/214/96 |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To compare immunogenicity of two 0.5 mL IM injections of two FLUAD-like influenza vaccines containing either 7.5 mcg or 15 mcg of H5N1 influenza antigen in terms of post-immunization geometric mean titers GMTs as measured by HI test. To evaluate immunogenicity of one 0.5 mL IM injection of two FLUAD-like influenza vaccines containing either 7.5 mcg or 15 mcg of H5N1 influenza antigen, as measured by HI test. To evaluate immunogenicity after one and two 0.5 mL IM injections of two FLUAD-like influenza vaccines containing either 7.5 mcg or 15 mcg of H5N1 influenza antigen, as measured by microneutralization MN test in a subset of subjects selected in a 1 1 ratio with respect to the study vaccines and to the age group. |
