What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the safety and tolerability of a quadrivalent influenza vaccine through a seamless Phase I/II design. Phase I involves age and dose escalation with 120 participants aged 18 and older, while Phase II expands to 500 participants divided into two age groups. The study employs a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled approach to assess immunogenicity and determine the optimal vaccine dose for future trials.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this vaccine could provide enhanced protection against influenza for various age groups.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success with similar quadrivalent influenza vaccines, indicating a promising approach.
