[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]OBJECTIVES:[/h] We evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of mammalian cell-derived quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIVc) as compared with trivalent influenza vaccines (TIV1c/TIV2c) in children aged ≥4 to <18 years.
[h=4]METHODS:[/h] 2333 subjects were randomized 2:1:1 to receive either one or two doses of study vaccine depending on previous vaccination status. Hemagglutination inhibition antibody responses for all four influenza strains were performed 3 weeks after last dose. Reactogenicity and safety were also assessed (ClinicalTrials.gov:NCT01992107).
[h=4]RESULTS:[/h] QIVc met the non-inferiority criteria against all four vaccine strains and demonstrated superiority for both influenza B strains over the unmatched B lineage included in the comparator vaccines, when geometric mean titers and seroconversion rates were compared, 3 weeks after last vaccination. Similar percentages of subjects experienced solicited and unsolicited AEs across all sub-groups. Unsolicited AEs, serious AEs, medically attended AEs, and new onset chronic disease were reported in comparable percentages of subjects in all study groups. No vaccine-related serious AEs or deaths occurred.
[h=4]CONCLUSIONS:[/h] QIVc demonstrated similar safety profile and immunogenicity responses against all four vaccine strains without signs of immune interference on addition of an alternate lineage B strain compared with TIV1c/TIV2c and may provide broader protection against both influenza B lineages in children.
