A Clinical Study to Assess the Safety of a New Influenza Vaccine

Exclusion Criteria

• - History of hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine, including egg or egg protein or serious, life threatening, or severe reactions to previous influenza vaccinations
• - History of hypersensitivity to gentamicin
• - Any condition for which the inactivated influenza vaccine is indicated, including chronic disorders of the pulmonary or cardiovascular systems (eg, asthma), chronic metabolic diseases (eg, diabetes mellitus), renal dysfunction, or hemoglobinopathies that required regular medical follow-up or hospitalization during the preceding year
• Note: A history of asthma that requires regular medical follow-up or hospitalization during the preceding 2 years is exclusionary. Investigator judgment is required to determine whether or not a subject has a history of asthma; however, for adult subjects, a remote history of wheezing or a remote diagnosis of asthma that the investigator does not consider to be relevant to current health does not need to be considered to be a history of asthma. For example, childhood asthma that has not required treatment in adulthood is not necessarily exclusionary
• - Acute febrile (> 100.0°F oral or equivalent) and/or clinically significant respiratory illness (eg, cough or sore throat) within 14 days prior to randomization
• - Any known immunosuppressive condition or immune deficiency disease, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or ongoing immunosuppressive therapy
• - History of Guillain-Barré syndrome
• - A household contact who is severely immunocompromised (eg, hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipient, during those periods in which the immunocompromised individual requires care in a protective environment); additionally, subject should avoid close contact with severely immunocompromised individuals for at least 21 days after receipt of investigational product
• - Receipt of any investigational agent within 30 days prior to randomization, or expected receipt through 30 days after the dose of investigational product
• - Receipt of any non-study vaccine within 30 days prior to randomization, or expected receipt through 30 days after receipt of investigational product
• - Expected receipt of antipyretic or analgesic medication on a daily or every other day basis from randomization through 14 days after receipt of investigational product
• Note: A daily dose of up to 81 mg of aspirin for prophylactic use is not considered a contraindication to enrollment.
• - Administration of intranasal medications within 14 days prior to randomization, or expected receipt through 14 days after administration of investigational product
• - Receipt of influenza antiviral therapy or antiviral agents within 48 hours prior to investigational product administration or expected receipt of influenza antiviral therapy or antiviral agents through 14 days after receipt of each dose of investigational product
• - Known or suspected mitochondrial encephalomyopathy
• - Nursing mother
• - Any condition (eg, chronic cough) that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with evaluation of the investigational product or interpretation of subject safety or study results
• - Employees of the clinical study site, any other individuals involved with the conduct of the study, or immediate family members of such individuals
