E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The vaccine efficacy of MEDI3250 compared to placebo against the incidence of laboratory-confirmed symptomatic influenza infection caused by any community-acquired wild-type strains matched to the vaccine, occurring during the influenza surveillance period and at least 14 days after the last required vaccination. For the primary endpoint, laboratory-confirmed symptomatic influenza infection is defined as the presence of modified Centers for Disease Control (CDC)-ILI associated with laboratory-confirmed influenza. Modified CDC-ILI is defined as increased temperature ≥100°F (37.8°C) oral or equivalent plus the presence of cough, sore throat, or runny nose/nasal congestion occurring on the same or consecutive days.
• Solicited symptoms experienced from administration of investigational product through 14 days post vaccination by dose number (as appropriate), • Adverse events experienced from administration of investigational product through 28 days post vaccination by dose number (as appropriate), • Treatment-emergent SAEs experienced from administration of investigational product through 28 days post vaccination by dose number (as appropriate). • Treatment-emergent SAEs experienced from informed consent through the end of the enrolled influenza season.

|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The vsaccine efficacy: Through the end of the enrolled influenza season(April 2015) in serious adverse event
Safety: 14 days post vaccination by dose number in solicited symptoms 28 days post vaccination by dose number in adverse events 28 days post vaccination by dose number in serious adverse event Through the end of the enrolled influenza season(April 2015) in serious adverse event |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The vaccine efficacy of MEDI3250 compared to placebo against the incidence of laboratory-confirmed symptomatic influenza infection caused by any community-acquired wild-type strains regardless of match to the vaccine, occurring during the influenza surveillance period and at least 14 days after the last required vaccination. For the secondary endpoint, laboratory-confirmed symptomatic influenza infection is defined as the presence of modified CDC-ILI associated with laboratory-confirmed influenza. Modified CDC-ILI is defined as increased temperature ≥ 100°F (37.8°C) oral or equivalent plus the presence of cough, sore throat, or runny nose/nasal congestion occurring on the same or consecutive days.
