Purpose
In 2012, the WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) concluded that pregnant women are the most important risk group for season influenza vaccination based upon "compelling evidence of substantial risk of severe disease in this group and evidence that seasonal influenza vaccine is safe and effective in preventing disease in pregnant women as well as their young infants, in whom disease burden is also high". Recent data from Kenya, similarly suggest rates of influenza-associated hospitalizations in children under age 1 to be as high, or higher, than those observed in the United States. However, TIV may have reduced immunogenicity in HIV-infected adults, and HIV infection has been shown to reduce placental transfer of both tetanus and measles antibodies. Adjuvanted influenza vaccine has been shown to induce higher antibody titers in children and older adults. Therefore, we propose to conduct a double-blind randomized controlled trial of influenza vaccines stratified by HIV status in up to 720 pregnant women in their second and third trimesters and their infants residing in health and demographic surveillance sites (HDSS) in Nyanza Province, Western Kenya. We propose to assess the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of traditional TIV and an adjuvanted TIV product in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected pregnant women. Findings will inform maternal influenza vaccination policies in Kenya and other African countries.

| Official Title: | A Double-Blind, Randomized, Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Immunogenicity, and Efficacy of Trivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine and Adjuvanted Trivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine in HIV-Infected and HIV-Uninfected Pregnant Women in a Malaria-Endemic Area of Rural Western Kenya |
- Proportion of women with an appropriate rise in Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) titers [ Time Frame: Enrollment (Day 0) vs. Day 28 for each study arm ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The proportion of TIV and aTIV recipients with a fourfold rise in HI titers or HI titers ≥40 if baseline HI titer <10 compared to the same proportion in controls
- Proportion of infants born to TIV and aTIV recipients with HI titers greater than or equal to 40 in cord blood compared to same in controls. [ Time Frame: At delivery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Number of solicited and unsolicited adverse events post-vaccination by study arm [ Time Frame: During follow-up period, approx. 9 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Vaccine efficacy of TIV and aTIV in mothers and infants compared to control mothers and infants. [ Time Frame: Entire follow-up period, approx. 9 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Incidence of influenza infection will be measured in all participants by surveillance for influenza-like illness (ILI) throughout the study period. Women with fever and cough will be tested for influenza via rRT-PCR of NP/OP swabs. Infants with fever, hypothermia, or any respiratory symptom will also be tested for influenza via rRT-PCR of NP/OP swabs.
- HIV infection and placental antibody transfer [ Time Frame: Delivery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Compare geometric mean HI titers and geometric mean tetanus antibody titers at delivery in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected mothers with titers in cord blood.
- Birth weight [ Time Frame: Delivery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Compare birth weight adjusted for gestational age among TIV and a TIV recipients compared to controls.
- Peripheral and placental parasitemia impact on vaccination [ Time Frame: Day 0 and delivery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Compare change in geometric mean HI titers from day 0 to day 28 in women with and without peripheral parasitemia at the time of vaccination. Compare amount of passive antibody transfer to infants in cord blood in mothers with and without placental parasitemia
- baseline polio immunity and polio antibody transfer [ Time Frame: day 0 and delivery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Assess baseline immunity to polio types 1, 2, 3 among all study participants. Assess polio antibody transfer to infants from mothers who did and did not receive IPV.

Experimental: Trivalent Influenza Vaccine (TIV)
15µg of each of 2 influenza A strains (H1N1 and H3N2) and 1 influenza B strain in a buffer solution totaling 0.5mL which is administered intramuscularly. Administered as a single dose on the day of enrollment. |
Biological: Trivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine

|
Experimental: Adjuvanted TIV (aTIV)
15 µg of each of 2 influenza A strains and 1 influenza B strain with a proprietary adjuvant, M59™, in a volume of 0.5mL administered intramuscularly. M59 is an oil-in-water emulsion composed of squalene, polysorbate 80, and sorbitan trioleate in a citrate buffer. Administered as a single dose on the day of enrollment. |
Biological: Adjuvanted Trivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine
Other Name: Fluad, Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics, Inc.
|
|
Active Comparator: Inactivated Polio Vaccine
A sterile suspension of three types of poliovirus: Type 1 (Mahoney), Type 2 (MEF1) and Type 3 (Saukett). This vaccine is prepared from types 1, 2 and 3 of poliomyelitis virus cultured on Vero cells, purified and then inactivated by formaldehyde and administered as a 0.5ml intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. A single dose of vaccine will be administered upon enrollment.
