背景在一般老年人群中,高剂量四价流感疫苗(QIV-HD)与标准剂量四价流感疫苗(QIV-SD)对住院和死亡率的相对疫苗有效性(rVE)尚未在个体随机试验中进行评估。由于所需的大样本量,这样的试验将需要纳入创新,务实的elements.MethodsWe进行了一个务实的,开放标签,积极对照,随机可行性试验在丹麦公民年龄在65至79岁,在2021-2022年流感季节。参与者以1:1的比例随机分配接受QIV-HD或QIV-SD。随机化被整合到常规疫苗接种实践中,该试验仅依赖于全国性的行政卫生登记处进行数据收集。结果包括一个可行性评估和描述rVE estimates.ResultsWe邀请了34,000人参加。共有12,477名随机分配的参与者被纳入最终分析。平均(±SD)年龄为71.7±3.9岁,5877例(47.1%)为女性。基于登记册的数据收集是可行的,99.9%的参与者拥有完整的随访数据。基线特征与65至79岁的丹麦总人口的基线特征相当。QIV-HD组因流感或肺炎住院的发生率为10/6245(0.2%),QIV-SD组为28/6232(0.4%)(rVE,64.4%; 95%置信区间,24.4 - 84.6)。全因死亡发生在21(0.3%)和41(0.7%)的QIV-HD和QIV-SD组的参与者,分别(rVE,48.9%; 95%置信区间,11.5至71.3)。与QIV-SD组相比,QIV-HD组因流感或肺炎住院的发生率和全因死亡率较低,这一发现需要在未来的完全把握度试验中重复。(由赛诺菲资助; ClinicalTrials.gov编号,NCT 05048589。)
BackgroundThe relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of high-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccines (QIV-HD) versus standard-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccines (QIV-SD) against hospitalizations and mortality in the general older population has not been evaluated in an individually randomized trial. Because of the large sample size required, such a trial will need to incorporate innovative, pragmatic elements.MethodsWe conducted a pragmatic, open-label, active-controlled, randomized feasibility trial in Danish citizens aged 65 to 79 years during the 2021–2022 influenza season. Participants were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive QIV-HD or QIV-SD. Randomization was integrated into routine vaccination practice, and the trial relied solely on nationwide administrative health registries for data collection. Outcomes consisted of a feasibility assessment and descriptive rVE estimates.ResultsWe invited 34,000 persons to participate. A total of 12,477 randomly assigned participants were included in the final analyses. Mean (±SD) age was 71.7±3.9 years, and 5877 (47.1%) were women. Registry-based data collection was feasible, with complete follow-up data for 99.9% of participants. Baseline characteristics were comparable to those of the overall Danish population aged 65 to 79 years. The incidence of hospitalization for influenza or pneumonia was 10 (0.2%) of 6245 in the QIV-HD group and 28 (0.4%) of 6232 in the QIV-SD group (rVE, 64.4%; 95% confidence interval, 24.4 to 84.6). All-cause death occurred in 21 (0.3%) and 41 (0.7%) participants in the QIV-HD and QIV-SD groups, respectively (rVE, 48.9%; 95% confidence interval, 11.5 to 71.3).ConclusionsConducting a pragmatic randomized trial of QIV-HD versus QIV-SD using existing infrastructure and registry-based data collection was feasible. The findings of lower incidence of hospitalization for influenza or pneumonia and all-cause mortality in the QIV-HD group compared with the QIV-SD group require replication in a future, fully powered trial.
