Study to Evaluate the Safety of 3 New 6:2 Influenza Virus Reassortants in Adults

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety of 3 New 6:2 Influenza Virus Reassortants in Adults

This prospective annual release study is designed to evaluate the safety on new influenza virus vaccine strains to be included in FluMist Quadrivalent for the 2013-2014 influenza season.

This prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled release study will enroll approximately 300 healthy adults 18 to 49 years of age. Eligible subjects will be randomly assigned in a 4:1 fashion to receive a single dose of trivalent vaccine or placebo by intranasal spray. Randomization will be stratified by site. This study will be conducted at 3 sites in the United States of America. Each subject will receive 1 dose of investigational product on Day 1. The duration of study participation for each subject is the time from study vaccination through 180 days after study vaccination.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age 18 through 49 years
• Written informed consent
• Subject available by telephone
• Ability to understand and comply with the requirements of the protocol, as judged by the Investigator

Exclusion Criteria:

• Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study up to 180 days after receipt of investigational product (Day 181)
• 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
• Any condition for which the inactivated influenza vaccine is indicated, including chronic disorders of the pulmonary or cardiovascular systems (example [eg], asthma), chronic metabolic diseases (eg, diabetes mellitus), renal dysfunction, or hemoglobinopathies that required regular medical follow-up or hospitalization during the preceding year
• Acute febrile (greater than [>] 100.0 degrees Fahrenheit [F] oral or equivalent) and/or clinically significant respiratory illness (example, cough or sore throat) within 14 days prior to randomization
• Any known immunosuppressive condition or immune deficiency disease, including human immunodeficiency virus infection, or ongoing immunosuppressive therapy
• History of Guillain-Barré syndrome
