Further study details as provided by Novartis:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Compare the immunog. of a single IM inj. of an adj. inactivated subunit flu vaccine vs. inactivated subunit virus flu vaccine, with regards to A/H3N2 antigen, when administered to adults with underlying chronic disease, as measured by HI test at day 22

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Compare the immunogenicity of an IM injection of an adj. inactivated subunit flu vaccine vs. inactivated subunit virus flu vaccine, with regards to B antigen, when administered to adults with underlying chronic disease, as measured by HI test at day 22
Evaluate the immunog. of a single IM inj. of an adj. inactivated subunit flu vaccine vs. inactivated subunit virus flu vaccine, with regards to A/H1N1 antigen, when administered to adults with underlying chronic disease, as measured by HI test at day 22
To evaluate the safety of a single IM injection of the two influenza vaccines, when administered to adult subjects with underlying chronic disease(s).
