Summary
Brief summary
This Phase 2, randomized, observer-blind, antigen and adjuvant dose-ranging Clinical study is
evaluating different formulations of MF59-Adjuvanted Quadrivalent Subunit Inactivated
Influenza Vaccine. Approximately 800 subjects are to be randomized into 1 of 8 possible
treatment groups. Immunogenicity and safety will be assessed in the overall study population
(adults =50 years and above) and in the age subgroups =50-64 years and =65 years to determine
the appropriate age population for this vaccine. Data from this study will be used to select
the optimal dose to be tested in the pivotal Phase 3 immunogenicity and safety study in older
adults.

Disclosure Statement: This is a parallel-group dose-ranging study with 8 arms that is
participant, investigator and observer-blinded.
