About

This prospective annual release study is designed to evaluate the safety of 1 new influenza virus vaccine strain to be included in FluMist Quadrivalent for the 2017-2018 influenza season.

Full description

This prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled release study will enroll approximately 300 healthy adults 18 to 49 years of age (not yet reached their 50th birthday). Eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 4:1 fashion to receive a single dose of monovalent vaccine or placebo by intranasal spray. Randomization will be stratified by site. This study will be conducted at 2 sites in the United States of America. Each participant will receive 1 dose of investigational product on Day 1. The duration of study participation for each participant is the time from study vaccination through 180 days after study vaccination.

Enrollment: 300 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 49 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
