immunogenicity and safety of the concomitant administration of ovx836 influenza vaccine, quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccines and placebo in healthy subjects.

Conditions: Influenza

Summary: the present study ovx836-006 aims principally to: * confirm feasibility of the concomitant administration of the vaccines under normal clinical conditions, i.e. as two separate concomitant injections into opposite arms; * introduce an additional representative brand of quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccines ; * demonstrate the absence of interaction between ovx836 and quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccines on the hemagglutinin response; * demonstrate the absence of interaction between ovx836 and quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccines on the nucleoprotein response; * evaluate the absolute vaccine efficacy of ovx836 compared to placebo in order to corroborate the efficacy signals previously detected in the ovx836 previous studies; * evaluate the combined vaccine efficacy of ovx836 + quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccines versus ovx836 + placebo, and versus double placebo.

phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, double placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the immunogenicity and the safety of the concomitant administration of : * ovx836 influenza vaccine and fluarix tetra; * ovx836 influenza vaccine and afluria quad; * fluarix tetra and placebo; * afluria quad and placebo; * ovx836 influenza vaccine and placebo; * placebo and placebo; given intramuscularly as 2 separate injections into opposite arms in healthy subjects.

Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: 1. written informed consent. 2. healthy male or female subjects, as determined by medical history and medical examination. 3. aged 18 to 60 years. 4. subjects who have received at least two doses of a licensed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccine. 5. reliable and willing to make themselves available for the duration of the study, and willing and able to follow study procedures. 6. able to read, understand and complete an electronic diary and electronic patient reported outcome, and availability of a person who can complete the electronic diary/electronic patient reported outcome in case of illness. exclusion criteria: 1. subjects with a body mass index ≤19 kg/m² or ≥40 kg/m² on the day of vaccination. 2. previous influenza vaccination within 6 months before the day of vaccination or planned to receive influenza vaccination during the whole study period. 3. any known or suspected immunodeficient conditions. 4. past or current history of significant autoimmune diseases, as judged by the investigator. 5. known or suspected infection with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis c virus, or hepatitis b virus. 6. current history of significant uncontrolled medical illness such as diabetes, hypertension, heart, renal or hepatic diseases, as judged by the investigator. 7. planned, recent (\<6 months since completion) or ongoing gender reassignment during the study. 8. female subjects: pregnant, breast-feeding or of childbearing potential without appropriate contraceptive methods in place for 2 months before enrolment, or with positive pregnancy test on the day of vaccination. appropriate contraceptive methods are to be maintained until the end of the trial. appropriate contraceptive methods are defined by the clinical trial facilitation group as follow: "contraceptive methods that can achieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly are considered as highly effective birth control methods. such methods include: combined (estrogen- and progestogencontaining) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, transdermal), progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, implantable intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone-releasing system), bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner and/or sexual abstinence (refraining from heterosexual intercourse)." 9. having received another vaccination within 3 months prior to the day of study vaccination for live attenuated vaccines, or within 1 month prior to the day of study vaccination for inactivated vaccines, except coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine. 10. planning to receive other vaccines during the first 28 days following the study vaccine administration. 11. having received a coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination within 2 weeks prior to the day of study vaccination. 12. planning to receive coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine during the first week (within 7 days) following the study vaccine administration. an interval of preferably 14 days is recommended. 13. administration of any investigational (including ovx836) or non-registered drug or vaccine within 3 months prior to the administration of study vaccines, or planned administration of any such product during the whole study period. 14. history of receiving blood, blood components or immunoglobulins within 3 months prior to the day of vaccination, or planned to receive such product during the whole study period. 15. presence of an acute febrile illness on the day of planned vaccination (oral temperature \>38.0°c; temporary exclusion criterion). 16. long coronavirus disease, either ongoing or recently recovered. 17. presence of a condition in the ear-nose-throat area, such as nasal septum deviation, atrophic rhinitis, etc., that could render nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs more difficult to perform, or increase the risk of bleeding; to be confirmed by medical history question and inspection of nasal passage. 18. presence of tattoos at the level of one of the deltoid muscle. 19. past or current history of any progressive or severe uncontrolled neurological disorder, seizure disorder or guillain-barré syndrome. 20. behavioral or cognitive impairment, or psychiatric disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with the subject's ability to participate in the study. 21. past (stopped less than 6 months before enrolment) or current smoking habit above 10 cigarettes per day. 22. past (stopped less than 6 months before enrolment) or current history of alcohol abuse or use of recreational drugs. 23. treatment that can affect immune response such as systemic or high dose inhaled corticosteroids (\>800μg/day beclomethasone or equivalent; occasional inhaled corticosteroids for asthma therapy are allowed), radiation treatment, cytotoxic drugs, or current or recent (within 30 days before study entry) chronic or prolonged (\>10 days) use of systemic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, acetylsalicylic acid, paracetamol, ibuprofen, interferon, immunomodulators, allergy shots, as judged by the investigator. occasional, non-continuous use of acetylsalicylic acid, paracetamol, ibuprofen or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on an as-needed basis is allowed. 24. prophylactic or therapeutic use of any anti(retro)virals by systemic route during the study. topical application is allowed. 25. history of severe allergic reactions and/or anaphylaxis, or serious adverse reactions to vaccines or allergy to kanamycin, eggs (especially ovalbumin and chicken proteins), neomycin, polymyxin, formaldehyde and octoxinol-9 (triton-x-100). 26. any contraindication to intramuscular administration, as judged by the investigator. 27. individuals with history of any illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with the results of the study, or pose additional risk to the subjects due to participation in the study, either directly or through any treatments administered for that illness. 28. sponsor employees or investigator site personnel directly affiliated with this study, and their immediate families. immediate family is defined as a spouse (or assimilated), parent, child or sibling, whether biological or legally adopted.
