Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Percentage of subjects with seroconversion, seroprotection, and fold increase in geometric mean titer (GMT)
Immunogenicity variables are analyzed according to the EMA re-licensing criteria; at least one of the criteria has to be fulfilled for each vaccine strain:
Seroconversion rate at Day 22 has to be >40% of subjects aged ≥18 to ≤60 years and >30% of subjects aged >60 years, or
Seroprotection rate at Day 22 has to be >70% of subjects aged ≥18 to ≤60 years and >60% of subjects aged >60 years, or
GMT-fold increase at Day 22 compared to baseline: a >2.5-fold increase has to be reached in subjects aged ≥18 to ≤60 years and a >2.0-fold increase has to be reached in subjects aged >60 years
Secondary Outcome Measures
Incidence of solicited local adverse events
Incidence of solicited systemic adverse events
Incidence of unsolicited adverse events
