Safety and Immunogenicity of a Four Influenza Vaccines in Children Ages 6 Months Old to Less Than 48 Months Old

Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of ratios of GMTs in subjects (6 to <48 months old), measured by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay, day 1 to day 50 after vaccination with two doses of either TIVc or TIVe vaccine

Immunogenicity was assessed in terms number (%) of subjects (6 to <48 months old) achieving seroconversion as measured by HI antibody titer, day 50 after vaccination with two doses of either TIVc or TIVe vaccine Seroconversion was defined as subjects with either a pre-vaccination (baseline) HI titer < 1:10 and post-vaccination HI titer ≥ 1:40 or with a pre-vaccination HI titer ≥ 1:10 and a ≥ 4-fold increase in post-vaccination HI antibody titer

Differences in percentages of subjects (6 to <48 months old) with severe local solicited AEs and severe solicited systemic AEs, 3 days after vaccination with either TIVc or TIVe vaccine was assessed in terms of an individual desirability index score (High dose, Full dose, Half dose TIVc vs. TIVe vaccine). An individual desirability index score was assigned to each (non-transformed) safety value based on predefined functions. Each desirability index score is assigned a value between 0 and 1, wherein 0 is an undesirable response and 1 is a highly desirable response.

Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of number (%) of subjects (6 to <48 months old) achieving seroconversion as measured by HI assay, day 50 after vaccination with two doses of either TIVc or TIVe vaccine Seroconversion was defined as subjects with either a pre-vaccination (baseline) HI titer < 1:10 and post-vaccination HI titer ≥ 1:40 or with a pre-vaccination HI titer ≥ 1:10 and a ≥ 4-fold increase in post-vaccination HI antibody titer The Center for Biologics Evaluation, Research, and Review (CBER) criterion for pediatric population is that the lower bound of the two-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) for the percentage of subjects achieving seroconversion for HI antibody should meet or exceed 40% The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) criterion for pediatric population is that the percentage of subjects achieving seroconversion or significant increase in HI antibody titers >40%

Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of number (%) of subjects (6 to <48 months old) achieving HI titer ≥1:40 as measured by HI assay, day 50 after vaccination with two doses of either TIVc or TIVe vaccine The CBER criterion for pediatric population is that the lower bound of the two-sided 95% CI for the percentage of subjects achieving an HI antibody titer ≥1:40 should meet or exceed 70% The CHMP criterion for pediatric population is that the percentage of subjects achieving HI antibody titers ≥1:40 should be >70%

Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of GMR in subjects (6 to <48 months old) as measured by HI assay, day 50 after vaccination with two doses of either TIVc or TIVe vaccine The CHMP criterion is mean geometric ratio (GMR) >2.5

Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of GMR in subjects (6 to <48 months old) as measured by MN assay, day 50 after vaccination with two doses of either TIVc or TIVe vaccine

Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of number (%) of subjects (6 to <48 months old) achieving post vaccination HI titers (i.e. HI titers ≥1:110, ≥1:150, ≥1:330 and ≥1:629) as measured by HI assay, day 50 after vaccination with two doses of either TIVc or TIVe vaccine

Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of number (%) of subjects (6 to <48 months old) achieving MN titer ≥1:20 as measured by MN assay, day 50 after vaccination with two doses of either TIVc or TIVe vaccine Post-vaccination MN titer ≥1:20 was defined as for subjects with baseline (day 1) MN titer <1:10, or a minimum 2-fold increase in titer on day 50 for subjects with baseline titer ≥1:10 and corresponding 95% CI

Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of number (%) of subjects (6 to <48 months old) achieving MN titer ≥1:40 as measured by MN assay, day 50 after vaccination with two doses of either TIVc or TIVe vaccine Post-vaccination MN titer ≥1:40 was defined as for subjects with baseline (day 1) MN titer <1:10, or a minimum 4-fold increase in titer on day 50 for subjects with baseline titer ≥1:10 and corresponding 95% CI

Safety was assessed in terms of number of subjects (6 to <48 months old) reporting solicited local and systemic reactions, day 1 to day 7 after vaccination with two doses of either TIVc or TIVe vaccine (By Any Vaccination)

Safety was assessed in terms of number of subjects (6 to <48 months old) reporting unsolicited reactions after Each /any Vaccination from Day 1 [Post Vaccination] to Day 29 [Pre Clinic Visit] and Day 29 [Post Vaccination] to Day 50 [Pre Clinic Visit] , Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), AEs leading to New Onset of Chronic Diseases (NOCD), AEs leading to withdrawal from the study and concomitant medications (day 1 to day 209) after vaccination with two doses of either TIVc or TIVe vaccine (By Any Vaccination)
