E.1.2 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.2 | Version | 6.1 |
E.1.2 | Level | SOC |
E.1.2 | Classification code | 10021881 |

E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate that the intradermal ID investigational vaccine induces a better immunogenicity than the intramuscular IM reference vaccine in terms of seroprotection rate after the first vaccination. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Immunogenicity To describe the antibody persistence induced by both vaccines at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the first vaccination in a subset of subjects. To describe the immunogenicity of the ID investigational vaccine after each vaccination using parameters defined in the European Medicines Agency EMEA Note for Guidance CPMP/BWP/214/96 specific to elderly subjects. Safety To demonstrate that the ID investigational vaccine is at least as well tolerated as the IM reference vaccine, after the first vaccination, in terms of proportions of subjects with any moderate or severe solicited systemic reaction. To describe the safety profile after each vaccination. To describe the effect of repetitive ID injections on the safety profile. To assess the pain felt at the time of the injection, immediately after each injection via the ID and IM routes using a Verbal Rating Scale VRS . To describe the vaccination comfort after each injection via the ID and IM |
