New Data Presented at IDWeek 2024 Show Adjuvanted and High-Dose Influenza Vaccines are Comparable in Protecting Adults 65 Years of Age and Older Against Seasonal Influenza

- Results of the first season of a randomized study showed adjuvanted and high-dose influenza vaccines did not differ in effectiveness against PCR-confirmed influenza.
- This is the first randomized study to evaluate the relative vaccine effectiveness of adjuvanted influenza vaccines compared to high-dose influenza vaccines for prevention of lab-confirmed influenza.
SUMMIT, N.J., Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CSL Seqirus, a business of CSL (ASX: CSL), today announced the first season (2023-2024 influenza season) results of the first pragmatic randomized study to evaluate the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of adjuvanted inactivated influenza vaccine (aIIV) compared to high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (HD-IIV) for prevention of lab-confirmed influenza. Results for the first season demonstrated that adjuvanted and high-dose influenza vaccines did not differ in effectiveness against Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-confirmed influenza with a rVE of aIIV vs HD-IIV of 1.5% (95% confidence interval: -8.4 to 10.5) among adults 65 years of age and older. In addition, there was no difference in effectiveness between aIIV and HD-IIV for the prevention hospitalization or emergency department visits for PCR-confirmed influenza, and hospitalization for all-cause community-acquired pneumonia.
This study is a collaborative study between CSL Seqirus and a large health system. The data was presented during an oral presentation this week at the IDWeek 2024 conference taking place in Los Angeles, California from October 16-19, 2024.
The current findings of this pragmatic study align with previous research based on diagnostic and test confirmed outcomes, systematic reviews and meta-analyses which have generally shown comparable effectiveness between aIIV and HD-IIV influenza vaccines. The findings also support the current U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendation that preferentially recommends any adjuvanted or higher-dose influenza vaccines for adults 65 years of age and older.
The collaborative study is being conducted as a two-season pragmatic randomized study with approximately 480,000 individuals 65 years of age and older anticipated each season throughout facilities within a large health system. The second season and pooled season analyses will be performed following the end of the 2024-2025 season.
"The findings of the first season of this study align with previous research based on diagnostic and test confirmed outcomes and systematic reviews and meta-analyses, which have shown comparable effectiveness between adjuvanted and high-dose influenza vaccines," says Ian McGovern, Associate Director, Center of Outcomes Research and Epidemiology. "Further, this data showcases the commitment of CSL Seqirus in generating high-quality real-world evidence data (RWE)."
About the Study
This study was a collaborative effort between CSL Seqirus and a large health maintenance organization within Northern California that both provides insurance and health care to their patient population.
Individual medical facilities are randomized to administer either aIIV or HD-IIV and in alternating weeks which allowed individuals to be vaccinated as they would in routine clinical practice. Vaccinated individuals are tested for influenza per routine care using PCR for all tests.
The study is designed to test the hypothesis that aIIV is non-inferior to HD-IIV, with a non-inferiority margin of -20% (i.e., lower bound of 95% CI needs to be above -20%). The primary outcome is PCR confirmed influenza in any setting. Secondary outcomes in each season include prevention of hospitalization or emergency department visits for PCR-confirmed influenza, and hospitalization for all-cause community-acquired pneumonia. A pooled analysis of the two seasons additionally includes the outcome of hospitalized PCR-confirmed influenza as well as analysis by age and risk groups.
A total of 429,600 individuals were enrolled in the study for the first season: 212,877 adjuvanted inactivated influenza vaccine (aIIV); 216,723 high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (HD-IIV). The randomization combined with broad patient inclusion results in a more representative but still balanced study population compared to a typical clinical study.
The second season of the study is ongoing. Results may differ depending on the match between the vaccine and circulating influenza strains and other factors. This study was funded by CSL Seqirus. CSL Seqirus provided all the adjuvanted influenza vaccine doses to members of a large health system for this study.
About Seasonal Influenza
Influenza is a common, contagious seasonal respiratory disease that may cause severe illness and life-threatening complications in some people.1 Influenza can lead to clinical symptoms varying from mild to moderate respiratory illness to severe complications, hospitalization and in some cases, death.1 Because transmission of influenza viruses to others may occur one day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick, the disease can be easily transmitted to others.1 Preliminary estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that during the 2023/24 influenza season, there were an estimated 390,000-830,000 influenza-related hospitalizations in the U.S.2 The CDC recommends annual vaccination for people aged six months and older, who do not have any contraindications.3 Since it takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body that help protect against influenza virus infection, it is recommended that people get vaccinated before influenza begins spreading in their community.3 The CDC recommends that for most people who need only 1 dose of influenza vaccine, vaccination should ideally happen in September or October.3
