Summary

A Phase IIb randomised, participant-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi-centre phase IIb efficacy study in 2030 volunteers aged 65 and over. The study will assess the safety and efficacy of the co-administration of a viral vectored vaccine, MVA- NP+M1, and the annual recommended licensed inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV). Within the main cohort 100 participants will be recruited to an immunology sub-cohort.

Detailed description

The efficacy of current seasonal influenza vaccines is limited in the face of antigenic mismatch between circulating viral strains and those in the given vaccine. Additionally vaccination in older adults, a major target group for vaccination, prevents laboratory-confirmed influenza in only 30-40% compared to 70-90% in young adults. The hypothesis in this Phase IIb efficacy study is that a new vaccine MVA-NP+M1 with licensed inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) in the older age group will be able to induce immune responses that protect individuals against influenza illness, severity of symptoms and reduce viral shedding, thereby increasing the protection conferred by seasonal influenza vaccine alone. A total of 2030 participants who are 65 years of age or over and eligible for annual seasonal influenza vaccination and provide informed consent will be recruited to the study. Potential volunteers will be mailed an invitation to take part by their GPs or recruited by local advertisements. Participants will be randomised to receive either MVA- NP+M1 with licensed IIV or saline placebo with licensed IIV. In the first 28 days after vaccination, participants will record adverse events using an electronic or paper diary. The participants will be contacted by telephone 1 day and 7 days post-vaccination to enquire about any serious adverse events and support follow up. During influenza season participants will record weekly whether or not they have had an influenza like illness (ILI). For every ILI episode experienced, the participants will record the severity of their symptoms daily. Among the participants, a total of 100 volunteers (50 in each group) will be recruited into an immunology sub-cohort. They will have blood samples collected on the day of vaccination, 1 week, 3 weeks and 26 weeks post-vaccination for monitoring of laboratory adverse events and immunogenicity purposes.
