- CSL's IVV Overall Vaccine Efficacy (VE) Versus Placebo Through Assessment of Incidence of Laboratory Confirmed Influenza A/B Infection [ Time Frame: 2008 and 2009 Southern Hemisphere influenza seasons, until 30 November 2009 ]
Incidence of Laboratory Confirmed Influenza A/B infection was assessed per the study population in the 2008 and 2009 Southern Hemisphere influenza seasons.
Vaccine efficacy = 100 x (1 - ratio of incidence rate). Ratio of incidence rate = active Study Vaccine recipient infection rate / placebo recipient infection rate.
- CSL's IVV Vaccine Efficacy Versus Placebo Through Assessment of Incidence of Laboratory Confirmed Influenza A/B Infection Due to Strains Matched to Vaccine Strains [ Time Frame: 2008 and 2009 Southern Hemisphere influenza seasons, until 30 November 2009 ]
Incidence of laboratory confirmed influenza A/B infection due to strains matched to vaccine strains was assessed per the study population in the 2008 and 2009 Southern Hemisphere influenza seasons.
Vaccine efficacy = 100 x (1 - ratio of incidence rate). Ratio of incidence rate = active Study Vaccine recipient infection rate / Placebo recipient infection rate.
- Incidence of Influenza-like Illness (ILI) [ Time Frame: 2008 and 2009 Southern Hemisphere influenza seasons, until 30 November 2009 ]
The criteria for the protocol defined ILI were as follows:
- At least one respiratory symptom:
- cough, sore throat or nasal congestion
- And at least one systemic symptom:
- fever (as defined by oral temperature ≥ 37.8°C (100.0°F), or feverishness (as defined by participant's subjective feeling of fever), chills or body aches.
The CDC ILI case definition was the occurrence of fever (100°F [37.8°C] or higher) in conjunction with either cough or sore throat.
- Percentage of Participants With a Minimum Post-vaccination Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Titer of 1:40, Year 2008 [ Time Frame: 21 days after study vaccination ]
- Percentage of Participants With a Minimum Post-vaccination Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Titer of 1:40, Year 2009 [ Time Frame: 21 days after study vaccination ]
- Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion 21 Days After Study Vaccination, Year 2008 [ Time Frame: 21 days after study vaccination ]Seroconversion rate: defined as the percentage of participants with either a pre-vaccination HI titer < 1:10 and a post-vaccination HI titer ≥ 1:40 or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and a minimum four-fold rise in post-vaccination HI antibody titer.
- Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion 21 Days After Study Vaccination, Year 2009 [ Time Frame: 21 days after study vaccination ]Seroconversion rate: defined as the percentage of participants with either a pre-vaccination HI titer < 1:10 and a post-vaccination HI titer ≥ 1:40 or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and a minimum four-fold rise in post-vaccination HI antibody titer.
- Geometric Mean Fold Increase in HI Titer 21 Days After Study Vaccination, Year 2008 [ Time Frame: 21 days after study vaccination ]Geometric mean fold increase in HI titer was defined as the geometric mean titer (GMT) after vaccination divided by the GMT before vaccination.
- Geometric Mean Fold Increase in HI Titer Rate 21 Days After Study Vaccination, Year 2009 [ Time Frame: 21 days after study vaccination ]Geometric mean fold increase in HI titer was defined as the geometric mean titer (GMT) after vaccination divided by the GMT before vaccination.
- Frequency and Intensity of Local and Systemic Solicited Symptoms [ Time Frame: 5 days after study vaccination ]
Adverse event grading:
Grade 1 (mild): Symptoms were easily tolerated and did not interfere with daily activities.
Grade 2 (moderate): Discomfort was enough to cause some interference with daily activities.
Grade 3 (severe): Symptoms that prevented normal, everyday activities.
Fever Grade 1: ≥ 37.7°C - < 38.0°C (≥ 99.9 - < 100.4°F) Grade 2: ≥ 38.0°C - < 39.0°C (≥ 100.4 - < 102.2°F) Grade 3: ≥ 39.0°C (> 102.2°F)
- Frequency and Intensity of Unsolicited Adverse Events (UAEs) [ Time Frame: 21 days after study vaccination ]
UAE grading:
Grade 1 (mild): Symptoms were easily tolerated and did not interfere with daily activities.
Grade 2 (moderate): Discomfort was enough to cause some interference with daily activities.
Grade 3 (severe): Symptoms that prevented normal, everyday activities.
- Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: 180 days after study vaccination ]
An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:
- Resulted in death;
- Was life-threatening;
- Required an unexpected in-participant hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization;
- Resulted in persistent or significant disability / incapacity;
- Was a congenital anomaly / birth defect; and / or
- Was medically significant (defined as an event that did not necessarily meet any of the SAE criteria, but was judged by the treating physician to potentially jeopardize the participant or require medical intervention to prevent one of the out
- New Onsets of Chronic Illness (NOCI) [ Time Frame: 180 days after study vaccination ]An NOCI was defined as the diagnosis of a chronic medical condition where the symptoms commenced or worsened following exposure to study vaccine and may have included those potentially controllable by medication (e.g., glaucoma, hypertension).
