End point title |
The Geometric Mean Titre (GMT) ratio of each virus strain (Comparator QIV over Seqirus QIV) [1] | ||||||||||||||||
End point description |
Noninferiority of Seqirus QIV compared to comparator QIV was assessed by the eight co-primary endpoints of hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody geometric mean titer (GMT) and seroconversion rate (SCR) for each viral strain included in the vaccines. The GMT ratio is defined as the geometric mean of the postvaccination HI titer for the US-licensed comparator QIV over the geometric mean of the postvaccination HI titer for Seqirus QIV.
The noninferiority criterion for the GMT ratio (adjusted analysis) was that the upper bound of the two-sided 95% CI of the GMT ratio for the Comparator QIV GMT, divided by the bioCSL QIV GMT, should not exceed 1.5.
Analysis Population Description: The Per Protocol Population was used for the primary and secondary analysis of immunogenicity data and included subjects in the Evaluable Population minus any subjects with deviations that were thought to potentially affect the immunogenicity results, following medical review prior to unblinding.

The difference in Seroconversion Rates (SCR) for each virus strain (Comparator QIV minus Seqirus QIV) [2] | ||||||||||||||||
End point description |
Noninferiority of Seqirus QIV compared to Comparator QIV was assessed by the eight co-primary endpoints of HI geometric mean titer (GMT) and seroconversion rate (SCR) for each viral strain. The rate of SCR is defined as the percentage of subjects with either a prevaccination HI titer < 1:10 and a postvaccination HI titer ≥ 1:40, or a prevaccination HI titer ≥ 1:10 and a ≥ 4-fold increase in postvaccination HI titer. For the SCR comparison, the difference between the SCR for each virus strain will be determined.
The noninferiority criterion for the SCR difference was that the upper bound of the two-sided 95% CI on the difference between SCRs for Comparator QIV minus the bioCSL QIV SCR should not exceed 10%.
