Phase II, Open-Label Study of the Safety, Reactogenicity, and Immunogenicity of a Single Intramuscular Dose of Inactivated Influenza A/H7N9 Vaccine After Priming With Inactivated Influenza A/H7N7 Vaccine

The study will be an open-label phase 2 clinical trial of a single dose of an inactivated
H7N9 influenza vaccine (non-adjuvanted). The subjects of the study will have previously
participated in DMID trial 07-0023, evaluating inactivated Influenza A/H7N7 vaccine. In the
previous study healthy adults 18 to 40 years old were randomized to receive two doses, 28
days apart, of placebo or 7.5, 15, 45, or 90 ug of the influenza vaccine by IM injection in a
1:1 ratio (N=25/vaccine group and 25 in placebo group). The primary objectives are to 1)
assess the safety and reactogenicity of a single dose A/H7N9 vaccine in individuals who
previously received two IM doses of an A/H7N7 vaccine or are A/H7 vaccine-naïve and 2) To
assess the serum hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) antibody responses against A/H7N9
approximately 28 days following receipt of a single dose of A/H7N9 vaccine in individuals who
previously received two IM doses of A/H7N7 vaccine or are A/H7 vaccine-naïve.

This is a Phase II, open-label study in up to 50 males and non-pregnant females, 19 to 50
years old, inclusive, who are in good health and meet all entry criteria. The study is
designed to assess the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of a single dose of a
monovalent inactivated influenza A/H7N9 virus vaccine (45 mcg of HA/0.75 mL) manufactured by
Sanofi Pasteur administered to healthy adults who previously received two doses of monovalent
inactivated influenza A/H7N7 virus vaccine manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur or one or two doses
of placebo in Protocol 07-0023. All subjects will receive a single dose of the inactivated
influenza A/H7N9 vaccine delivered intramuscularly. Reactogenicity will be measured by the
occurrence of solicited injection site and systemic reactions from the time of the study
vaccination Day 1/Visit 01 through 8 days after the study vaccination. Unsolicited
non-serious adverse events (AEs) will be collected from the time of the study vaccination
through roughly 28 days after the study vaccination. Serious adverse events (SAEs) and
new-onset chronic medical conditions will be collected from the time of the study vaccination
through roughly 6 months after the study vaccination. Immunogenicity testing against A/H7N9
and A/H7N7 antigens will include performing hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) and
neutralizing (Neut) antibody assays on serum obtained immediately prior to the study
vaccination, and roughly 8 and 28 days after the study vaccination.

An additional 60 mL of venous blood will be drawn immediately prior to the study vaccination,
and roughly 8 and 28 days after the study vaccination for exploratory cellular immunology
assays.

The duration of this study for each subject will be roughly 6 months. The primary objectives
are 1. to assess the safety and reactogenicity of a single dose monovalent inactivated
influenza A/H7N9 virus vaccine in individuals who previously received two intramuscular doses
of a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H7N7 virus vaccine or are A/H7 vaccine-naïve. 2. To
assess the serum hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) antibody responses against A/H7N9 roughly
28 days following receipt of a single dose of a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H7N9 virus
vaccine in individuals who previously received two intramuscular doses of a monovalent
inactivated influenza A/H7N7 virus vaccine or are A/H7 vaccine-naïve.

The secondary objectives are 1. To assess study-vaccine related unsolicited non-serious
adverse events following receipt of one dose of a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H7N9
virus vaccine in individuals who previously received two intramuscular doses of a monovalent
inactivated influenza A/H7N7 virus vaccine or are A/H7 vaccine-naïve. 2. To assess new-onset
chronic medical conditions following receipt of one dose of a monovalent inactivated
influenza A/H7N9 virus vaccine in individuals who previously received two intramuscular doses
of a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H7N7 virus vaccine or are A/H7 vaccine-naïve.3) To
assess the serum HAI antibody responses against A/H7N9 at baseline and about 8 days following
receipt of a single dose of a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H7N9 virus vaccine in
individuals who previously received two intramuscular doses of a monovalent inactivated
influenza A/H7N7 virus vaccine or are A/H7 vaccine-naïve. 4. To assess the serum neutralizing
(Neut) antibody responses against A/H7N9 at baseline and roughly 8 and 28 days following
receipt of a one dose of a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H7N7 virus vaccine or are A/H7
vaccine-naïve.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Provide written informed consent prior to initiation of any study procedures.

2. Are able to understand and comply with planned study procedures and be available for
all study visits.

3. Are males or non-pregnant females, 19 to 50 years old, inclusive.

4. Are in good health*. *As determined by medical history and targeted physical
examination, if indicated based on medical history, to evaluate acute or currently
ongoing chronic medical diagnoses or conditions, defined as those that have been
present for at least 90 days, that would affect the assessment of the safety of
subjects or the immunogenicity of the study vaccination. Chronic medical diagnoses or
conditions should be stable for the last 60 days. This includes no change in chronic
prescription medication, dose, or frequency of as a result of deterioration of the
chronic medical diagnosis or condition in the 60 days prior to enrollment. Any
prescription change that is due to change of health care provider, insurance company,
etc., or that is done for financial reasons, as long as in the same class of
medication, will not be considered a deviation of this inclusion criterion. Any change
in prescription medication due to improvement of a disease outcome, as determined by
the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator, will not be
considered a deviation of this inclusion criterion. Subjects may be on chronic or as
needed (prn) medications if, in the opinion of the site principal investigator or
appropriate sub-investigator, they pose no additional risk to subject safety or
assessment of reactogenicity and immunogenicity and do not indicate a worsening of
medical diagnosis or condition. Similarly, medication changes subsequent to enrollment
and the study vaccination are acceptable provided there was no deterioration in the
subject's chronic medical condition that necessitated a medication change, and there
is no additional risk to the subject or interference with the evaluation of responses
to the study vaccination. Note: Topical, nasal, and inhaled medications (with the
exception of inhaled corticosteroids as outlined in the Subject Exclusion Criteria
(see Section 5.1.2), herbals, vitamins, and supplements are permitted.

5. Oral temperature is less than 100.0F.
