NCT ID NCT05513053
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a recombinant flu vaccine (RIV4) in over 1,300 people aged 9 to 49. The goal was to see if the immune response in children and teens (9-17) was as good as in adults (18-49). Researchers measured antibody levels before and 29 days after vaccination. The trial also monitored safety for all participants.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Quadrivalent recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV4), also known as Supemtek or Flublok Quadrivalent
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that the recombinant flu vaccine works as well in teens as in adults, offering a safe option for younger age groups.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed phase 3 trial, but results only show immune response and short-term safety. Long-term protection and real-world effectiveness are not yet proven.
