Safety and Immunogenicity of the Butantan Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine
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.
Who can take part
You may be eligible to participate in the study if you meet the following criteria:
INCLUSION CRITERIA
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female, age 3 years or older at the time of enrollment.

EXCLUSION CRITERIA
Exclusion Criteria:
- Chronic medical conditions such as psychiatric conditions, diabetes, hypertension or any other conditions that might place the subjects at high risk of adverse events. Study clinicians will use clinical judgment on a case-by-case basis to assess safety risks under this criterion.
- Clinically significant abnormalities on physical examination.
- Use of immunosuppressive medications such as systemic corticosteroids or chemotherapeutics, or immunosuppressive illness.
- Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study period plus 3 months beyond the last vaccine dose and currently nursing women.
- Participation in research involving another investigational product within 30 days before planned date of first vaccination or anytime through the last study safety visit.
- Clinically significant abnormalities on basic laboratory screening tests.
- Acute febrile illness (axillar temperature ≥ 37.8°C)
- Hypersensitivity to egg or chicken proteins or any of the vaccine constituents
- Thrombocytopenia or a bleeding disorder contraindicating intramuscular vaccination
- Unstable chronic illness (defined as illness requiring hospitalization or a clinically significant change in medication in the previous 12 weeks).
- Alcohol abuse of alcohol or drug addiction
- Any vaccination within the previous 4 weeks
- Seasonal influenza vaccination in the current year
