Immunogenicity of heterologous H5N1 influenza booster vaccination 6 or 18 months after primary vaccination in adults: A randomized controlled clinical trial
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Highly pathogenic avian influenza A/H5N1 viruses continue to circulate in birds and infect humans causing serious illness and death. METHODS: In this randomized, observer-blinded study, adults ≥18 years of age (n=841) received 3.75 or 7.5 μg hemagglutinin antigen (HA) of an AS03-adjuvanted (AS03A or AS03B) A/Indonesia/5/2005 H5N1 (subclade 2.1) vaccine (priming), followed by the same HA dose of AS03-adjuvanted A/turkey/Turkey/1/05 H5N1 (clade 2.2) influenza vaccine as a booster 6 or 18 months after priming; an unprimed group received placebo at Day 0, and 3.75 μg HA of AS03A-adjuvanted booster vaccine at 6 and 18 months. Antibody responses were assessed by hemagglutination-inhibition assay (HI). Microneutralization (MN) antibody and cellular immunoassays were assessed in a subset of participants. RESULTS: Geometric mean titers (GMTs) and seroconversion rates (SCRs) were higher in primed vs. unprimed subjects against the booster strain 10 days following booster vaccination at month 6 and month 18. After the booster at 18 months, the lower limit of the 97.5% confidence interval for the difference in SCR and GMT ratios between primed and unprimed subjects was >15% and >2.0, respectively, fulfilling the primary endpoint criteria for superiority against the booster strain. MN and cellular immune responses corresponded with the immunogenicity seen in HI measures. CONCLUSIONS: Adults primed with a dose-sparing oil-in-water adjuvanted H5N1 subclade vaccine had rapid and durable antibody responses to a heterologous subclade boosting vaccine given 6 or 18 months later.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
