Study Type Interventional
Study Design Allocation: Randomized;   Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment;   Masking: Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor);   Primary Purpose: Prevention
Conditions Heart Failure
Myocardial Infarction
Interventions Biological: High Dose Trivalent Influenza Vaccine
Biological: Standard Dose Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine
Enrollment 5388
Recruitment Details  
Pre-assignment Details A total of 5388 patients were consented for the study. Of these, 15 patients were not randomized (decided not to participate prior to randomization). 5373 patients were randomized and a total of 113 patients were excluded from all efficacy analyses prior to database lock because they had been enrolled at a site that was closed for major violations of good clinical practice, leaving 5260 participants in the efficacy and safety analysis.

Adverse Event Reporting Description Post-vaccination AEs were collected via participant self report up to 1 week post vaccination. Potential SAEs during study participation were reviewed by study monitors. For all-cause mortality, the number of patients at risk are the total number of patients randomized who were included in the efficacy analyses: 2630 per group. For all other adverse events, the safety analysis set consists of patients who received study vaccination (2606 in high-dose group and 2604 in standard-dose group).
