clipboard-pencil

About the study

Studies have shown that a broader spectrum influenza vaccine may help in reducing the influenza burden of disease. Butantan Institute is currently developing a quadrivalent influenza vaccine candidate. This study is will provide safety and immunogenicity data on this quadrivalent influenza vaccine candidate. The study will be conducted in an open population of healthy participants (3 years old and above) recruited in different clinical sites in Brazil and will be adequately powered to assess safety, immune response (measured by GMT HI antibodies) to each viral strain in the vaccines and lot-to-lot consistency.
