About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of IL-YANG Inactivated Split Influenza Vaccine (IL-YANG FLU Vaccine Prefilled Syringe INJ.) administered as a single intramuscular injection.

Full description

This is a multicenter, open-label study. Subjects who have provided written informed consent will undergo the protocol-specific assessments to determine their eligibility for the study. Subjects considered eligible will be assigned to an appropriate age stratum, and will be given a single dose of the study vaccine. For each age stratum, the first 142 subjects enrolled will be evaluated for both immunogenicity and safety, and the remaining subjects subsequently enrolled will be evaluated only for the safety of the study vaccine.

Group A: healthy adults 18 to < 65 years of age
Group B: healthy adults ≥ 65 years of age

The investigator will evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the study vaccine throughout the study. The immunogenicity assessment will be performed at Visit 1 (pre-vaccination) and at the End-of-Study Visit. For safety measurements, subjects will be instructed to record any adverse events occurring after vaccination in the Patient Diary card.

Subjects who are assigned for the both immunogenicity and safety assessment will have their blood sample drawn for antibody titer (immunogenicity) testing, and afterward, receive 0.5 mL of the study vaccine by intramuscular injection at deltoid muscle. Subjects will return to the clinic for follow-up visit 4 to 5 weeks after the vaccination, and undergo another blood sampling for antibody titer test. The long-term safety for up to 6 months after vaccination will be also evaluated. Subjects who are assigned for only safety assessments will not undergo blood sampling, but have the same visit schedule as those assigned for the both immunogenicity and safety assessments.

Subject with a history of Guillain-Barre syndrome
Subject with Down's syndrome or cytogenetic disorders.
Subject with severe chronic disease which in the investigator's opinion would not make the subject a good candidate for the clinical trial
Subject with hemophilia or being treated with an anticoagulant, who are at increased risk of serious bleeding during intramuscular injection
Subject who had an acute fever with body temperature > 38.0 Cº within 72 hours prior to administration of the study vaccine
Subject who had received any product containing acetylsalicylic acid or aspirin within 14 days prior to administration of the study vaccine
Subject who had previously received another vaccine within 28 days before administration of the study drug, or is scheduled to receive another vaccine during the study period.
Subject who had received immunosuppressant or immune modifying drug within the last 3 months prior to administration of the study vaccine
Subject who had previously received immunoglobulin or blood-derived products within the last 3 months prior to administration of the study vaccine, or is expecting to be treated with immunoglobulin or blood-derived products during the study.
Subject who had participated in another experimental study within 30 days prior to administration of the study vaccine
Woman of childbearing potential at screening or woman who plans to become pregnant during the study. A woman of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test, and, unless surgically sterile, must use an effective method of contraception throughout the study to be eligible for the study. Periodic abstinence and withdrawal are not considered as acceptable methods of contraception. Use of hormonal contraceptives is not allowed.
