ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
Primary
Primary Efficacy: First Occurrence of Either RT-PCR- or Culture-confirmed Influenza (Time-to-event Analyses) Due to Any Influenza Type A or B Strain Regardless of Antigenic Match to the Strains Selected for the Seasonal Vaccine in Subjects ≥2 to <18 Years
Day 14 to Day 180 or until the end of the influenza season, whichever is longer
The primary efficacy endpoint was defined as the time from the last study vaccination to the onset of the first occurrence of either RT-PCR- or culture-confirmed influenza (time-to-event analyses) due to any influenza Type A or B strain regardless of antigenic match to the strains selected for the seasonal vaccine, that occurred more than 14 days after the last vaccination until the end of the influenza season. Dataset Used: FAS-Efficacy = All subjects in the All Enrolled Set who received at least one dose of study vaccine and were evaluated for efficacy from 14 days after the last vaccination. The success criterion used for this primary objective was as follows: The efficacy of the QIVc was demonstrated if the lower limit (LL) of the 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) for VE was above 20%.
Primary
Co-Primary: First Occurrence of Either RT-PCR- or Culture-confirmed Influenza (Time-to-event Analyses) Due to Any Influenza Type A or B Strain Regardless of Antigenic Match to the Strains Selected for the Seasonal Vaccine in Subjects ≥3 to <18 Years

The co-primary efficacy endpoint: was defined as the time from the last study vaccination to the onset of the first occurrence of either RT-PCR- or culture-confirmed influenza (time-to-event analyses) due to any influenza Type A or B strain regardless of antigenic match to the strains selected for the seasonal vaccine, that occurred more than 14 days after the last vaccination until the end of the influenza season.Absolute vaccine efficacy of QIVc by first occurrence RT-PCR or culture confirmed influenza, due to any influenza Type A and B strain in subjects ≥3 years to \<18 years of age

The endpoint was defined as the time from the last study vaccination to the onset of the first occurrence of culture-confirmed influenza due to influenza Type A or B strain antigenically matched to the strains selected for the seasonal vaccine, that occurred more than 14 days after the last vaccination until the end of the influenza season in subjects 2 to \<18 years, 2 to \<9 years, 4 to \<18 years, and 9 to \<18 years.
SecondarySecondary Immunogenicity: Geometric Mean Titers for 4 Influenza Strains (HI Assay)Day 1 (all subjects), Day 22 (all previously vaccinated subjects) or Day 29 and Day 50 (all not previously vaccinated subjects receiving 2 doses)
Immunogenicity was characterized by HI assay 3 weeks after the last vaccination in a subset of subjects 2 to \<9 years of age enrolled in Season 2 (n=432) and Season 3 (n=319) who were immunized and had immunogenicity data at the assessed timepoints (FAS Immunogenicity). Immunogenicity was assessed at baseline (Day 1; all subjects in immunogenicity subset), at Day 22 (all "previously vaccinated" subjects receiving a single dose of the study vaccine), and at Days 29 and 50 (all "not previously vaccinated" subjects receiving 2 doses) for all 4 influenza strains using the HI assay.
SecondaryISecondary Immunogenicity: Percentage of Subjects Achieving Seroconversion for 4 Influenza Strains (HI Assay)Day 22 (all previously vaccinated subjects) or Day 29 and Day 50 (all not previously vaccinated subjects)
Immunogenicity was characterized by HI assay 3 weeks after the last vaccination in a subset of subjects 2 to \<9 years of age enrolled in Season 2 (n=432) and Season 3 (n=319) who were immunized and had immunogenicity data at the assessed timepoints (FAS Immunogenicity). Immunogenicity was assessed at baseline (Day 1; all subjects in immunogenicity subset), at Day 22 (all "previously vaccinated" subjects receiving a single dose of the study vaccine), and at Days 29 and 50 (all "not previously vaccinated" subjects receiving 2 doses) for all 4 influenza strains using the HI assay. Seroconversion was defined as: either a prevaccination HI titer \<1:10 and a postvaccination HI titer ≥1:40 or a prevaccination HI titer ≥1:10 and a ≥4 fold increase in postvaccination HI titer) Dataset used: FAS Immunogenicity = All subjects in the All Enrolled Set who received at least one dose of study vaccine and provided evaluable serum samples at both baseline and after the last vaccination.
SecondarySecondary Immunogenicity: Geometric Mean Ratio for 4 Influenza Strains (HI Assay)Day 22/Day 1 (all previously vaccinated subjects) or Day 29/Day 1 and Day 50/Day 1 (all not previously vaccinated subjects receiving 2 doses)
Immunogenicity was characterized by HI assay 3 weeks after the last vaccination in a subset of subjects 2 to \<9 years of age enrolled in Season 2 (n=432) and Season 3 (n=319) who were immunized and had immunogenicity data at the assessed timepoints (FAS Immunogenicity). Immunogenicity was assessed at baseline (Day 1; all subjects in immunogenicity subset), at Day 22 (all "previously vaccinated" subjects receiving a single dose of the study vaccine), and at Days 29 and 50 (all "not previously vaccinated" subjects receiving 2 doses) for all 4 influenza strains using the HI assay. Geometric mean ratios (GMRs) measure the ratio in immunogenicity titers within subject\\ Dataset used: FAS Immunogenicity = All subjects in the All Enrolled Set who received at least one dose of study vaccine and provided evaluable serum samples at both baseline and after the last vaccination.
SecondarySecondary Immunogenicity: Percentage of Subjects With HI Titer ≥1:40 for All 4 Influenza Strains (HI Assay)Day 1 (all subjects), Day 22 (all "previously vaccinated" subjects receiving a single vaccine dose) or Days 29 and 50 (all "not previously vaccinated"subjects receiving 2 doses)

The measures for assessing immunogenicity as determined by HI were as follows: Percentage of subjects with an HI titer ≥1:40 on Day 22 (all "previously vaccinated" subjects receiving a single vaccine dose) or Days 29 and 50 (all "not previously vaccinated" subjects receiving 2 doses) for all 4 influenza strains
