    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Primary Immunogenicity Objective: To select the vaccine (low dose or high dose aH5N1c) to be tested in Phase III based on achievement of CBER criteria 3 weeks after the second vaccine administration as measured by strain-specific hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assays. Primary Safety Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of low dose and high dose aH5N1c vaccine in Subjects 6 months to 17 years of age.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This clinical study was designed, implemented, and reported in accordance with the ICH Harmonised Tripartite Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice, applicable local regulations, and the ethical principles laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki. Only subjects who met all of the eligibility criteria were enrolled and vaccinated in the study. Potential subjects with allergy to any component of the vaccine or a history of serious vaccine reactions were not included in the study. Vaccinations were performed by trained, qualified healthcare professionals. After vaccination, subjects remained under medical supervision and were monitored for any immediate post-vaccination reactions for at least 30 minutes.

    Primary Immunogenicity: Percentage of subjects achieving seroconversion against A/H5N1 strain [1]
    End point description
    Immunogenicity was measured in terms of the percentages of subjects achieving seroconversion or significant increase in HI titer against the vaccine strain, three weeks after receiving two injections of low dose or high dose of aH5N1c vaccine according to the CBER criteria. Seroconversion is defined as the percentages of subjects with a prevaccination HI titer <10, a postvaccination titer ≥40; or in subjects with prevaccination HI titer ≥10, and a minimum four-fold rise in postvaccination HI antibody titer. CBER criterion is met if the lower limit of the two-sided 95% CI for the percentages of subjects achieving seroconversion for HI antibody titer meets or exceeds 40%. Dataset used: FAS

    Primary Immunogenicity: Percentage of subjects achieving hemagglutination inhibition titers ≥1:40 against A/H5N1 strain [2]
    End point description
    The optimal aH5N1c vaccine formulation was evaluated in terms of percentages of subjects achieving HI titers ≥1:40 against homologous A/H5N1 strain, three weeks after second vaccination with either low dose or high dose of aH5N1c vaccine, according to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) criterion. As there is no CBER criteria defined for children, immunogenicity was evaluated using CBER criterion applicable for adults (18-64 years). CBER criterion is met if the lower limit of the two-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) for the percentages of subjects achieving HI titer ≥1:40 meets or exceeds 70%. Dataset used: FAS

    End point title
    Primary Safety: Number of subjects reporting unsolicited AEs after any vaccination [5]
    End point description
    Safety was assessed using the number of subjects who reported any unsolicited adverse events, adverse events possibly or probably related to study vaccine, serious adverse events (SAEs), new onset of chronic diseases (NOCDs), medically attended AEs, AEs of special interest (AESIs), AEs leading to withdrawal from study following vaccination with either low or high dose of aH5N1c vaccine. Dataset used: Analysis was done on the safety dataset, i.e. the subjects in the exposed population who provided postvaccination safety data.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    Any unsolicited AEs - day 1 through day 22 after any vaccination; SAEs, NOCDs, medically attended AEs, AESIs, AEs leading to study withdrawal- day 1 to day 387.
    Notes
    [5] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: There is no statistical null hypothesis associated with the safety objective, which was analyzed descriptively. All safety analyses were done by vaccine group and by age group.

    Secondary Immunogenicity: Geometric Mean HI Titers and Geometric Mean Ratios Against A/H5N1 Strain Following 2-Dose Vaccination Schedule Of Either Low Dose Or High Dose AH5N1c Vaccine
    End point description
    Immunogenicity was measured as the geometric mean HI titers (GMT) and geometric mean ratio (GMR). The ratio of postvaccination to prevaccination HI GMTs, 3 weeks after first vaccination, 3 weeks after second vaccination and 12 months after second vaccination with either low dose or high dose of aH5N1c. The criterion is met according to the European Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) criteria if the geometric mean increase GMR (day 43/day 1) in HI antibody titer is >2.5. As no CHMP criteria are established for the pediatric population, criteria given for subjects 18-60 years of age were applied. Dataset used: FAS

    Secondary Immunogenicity: The Percentages Of Subjects Achieving Seroconversion Against A/H5N1 Strain
    End point description
    Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of percentages of subjects achieving seroconversion in HI titers, 3 weeks after first vaccination, 3 weeks after second vaccination and 12 months after second vaccination of either low dose or high dose aH5N1c vaccine according to the CHMP criterion. Seroconversion is defined as the percentages of subjects with a prevaccination HI titer <10, a postvaccination titer ≥40; or in subjects with prevaccination HI titer ≥10, and a minimum four-fold rise in postvaccination HI antibody titer. The criterion is met according to the European (CHMP) guideline if the percentage of subjects achieving seroconversion (at day 43) is >40%. Dataset used: FAS

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    04 Aug 2011
    Version 1.0 to Version 2.0 The main reasons for the protocol amendment were the following: 1. Increased the duration of the follow-up period from 6 months to 12 months after third (booster) vaccination, for total trial participation for each subject of approximately 24 months, instead of 18 months. 2. Inclusion of a separate section for clarification on criteria that would necessitate a delay to enrollment.
    29 Mar 2012
    Version 2.0 to Version 3.0 The main reasons for the protocol amendment were the following: 1. Planned day 387 analysis was not to be performed. Analyses were planned for day 43 data and at trial completion only. 2. Planned analyses (include reference to safety profile): clarification that the vaccine formulation to be tested in phase 3 was to be the lowest antigen/adjuvant formulation able to achieve all CBER criteria 3 weeks after 2 doses as measured by strain specific HI assays and with an acceptable safety profile. 3. Exclusion criterion 21 added: Individuals diagnosed with any disorders in growth such as failure to thrive or short stature were not eligible for the trial. 4. Appendix A: List of AESI based on list provided by CBER on 9 December 2011. 5. Subgroup analysis, comparing the antibody response in subjects who had received a seasonal influenza vaccine in the past year compared to those who had not had been added, as per CBER request.
    09 Nov 2012
    Between protocol versions 3 and 5, following were collective major changes: 1. Exploratory objective ‘A’ amended to extend to all heterologous influenza strains, not only H5N1. 2. New exploratory objective was added “For each aH5N1c vaccine (low dose or high dose), to evaluate the antibody responses against heterologous and homologous influenza strain(s) as measured by MN assay. 3. Subjects with a recent history of Guillain-Barré disease (instead of those with current Guillain-Barré disease) were excluded. Exclusion criterion 6 adapted accordingly. 4. Revision of age subgroup ages from: 6 to 35 months, 3 to 8 years and 9 to 17 years TO: 6 to <36 months, 3 to <9 years and 9 to <18 years. 5. Criteria for delay of vaccination and for repeat vaccination added. 6. Change of solicited AEs that were to be collected (deletion of injection site swelling, persistent crying, vomiting diarrhea, and chills and addition of ecchymosis, loss of appetite and malaise) and the ages across which they were to be collected
    17 Apr 2013
    Version 5.0 to Version 6.0 The main reasons for the protocol amendment were the following: 1. The majority of the changes reflected the removal of the booster dose at day 366 and subsequent safety follow-up. 2. Clarifications to exclusion criteria (including the specification of any diagnosis on the AESI list in Appendix A of clinical study protocol as a chronic disease under Exclusion #3).
    31 Oct 2013
    Version 6.0 to Version 7.0 The main reasons for the protocol amendment were the following: 1. Further documentation of the acceptable time interval to obtain the ICF prior to the first vaccine administration.
