Background: When the novel H1N1 influenza A strain appeared in April of 2009, development of novel H1N1 vaccines became a public health priority.
Methods: We conducted a phase‐2, multicenter, randomized, placebo‐controlled, observer‐blind clinical trial of a 2009 H1N1 vaccine in 1313 young (age, 18-64 years) and older (age, >or=65 years) adults. Participants were randomized 1:4:4:4 to receive 2 doses of placebo or 7.
ISCOMATRIX() adjuvant is a component of a variety of developmental vaccines. To evaluate the safety profile of ISCOMATRIX() adjuvant we have pooled and analyzed the safety data obtained from a number of vaccine development programs. Overall, the ISCOMATRIX() vaccines from studies included in the analysis were found to be safe and well tolerated, with no vaccine related deaths or Serious Adverse Events.

Objective: To assess the immunogenicity and safety of a 2009 influenza A(H1N1) vaccine in children.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Randomized, observer-blind, age-stratified, parallel group study assessing 2 doses of an inactivated, split-virus 2009 influenza A(H1N1) vaccine in 370 healthy infants and children aged 6 months to less than 9 years living in Australia.
Background: A novel 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus is responsible for the first influenza pandemic in 41 years. A safe and effective vaccine is needed. A randomized, observer-blind, parallel-group trial evaluating two doses of an inactivated, split-virus 2009 H1N1 vaccine in healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 64 years is ongoing at a single site in Australia.

Design: Randomized, multicenter, blinded, placebo-controlled, dose-escalating study investigating 3 different doses of vaccine and different dose schedule. Primary objective to determine safety and tolerability, including clinical status, maintenance of virological control, and CD4 cell count for more than 252 days.
The ISCOMATRIX adjuvant has antigen-delivery and -presentation properties, as well as immunomodulatory capabilities that combine to provide enhanced and accelerated immune responses. The responses are broad, including a range of subclasses of antibodies as well as both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. A range of ISCOMATRIX vaccines (ISCOMATRIX adjuvant combined with antigen) have been evaluated in clinical trials.
