Evaluation of immune response following one dose of an AS03A-adjuvanted H1N1 2009 pandemic influenza vaccine in Japanese adults 65 years of age or older.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study assessed the immunogenicity, long-term persistence of immune response and safety of a single dose of an A/California/07/2009 H1N1 pandemic influenza vaccine adjuvanted with AS03 (α-tocopherol and squalene based oil-in-water emulsion Adjuvant System) in subjects ≥ 65 y of age (NCT01114620).

Results

At Day 21, the HI immune response met all three European guidance criteria [seroconversion rate (SCR): 60.0%; seroprotection rate (SPR): 64.0%; geometric mean fold rise (GMFR): 10.2] and the US guidance criterion for SCR. At month 6, the HI immune response against the A/California/07/2009 H1N1 strain persisted but at levels lower than that observed at Day 21 (SCR: 38.8%; SPR: 42.9%; HI antibody geometric mean titer: 27.6); the European regulatory guidance crite
