A Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of an Inactivated Vaccine (Vero Cell) Against EV71 in Chinese Children Aged 6-35 Months
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Since its discovery in 1969, enterovirus 71 (EV71) has been recognised as a frequent cause of epidemics of hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) associated with severe neurological sequelae in a small proportion of cases. There has been a significant increase in EV71 epidemic activity throughout the Asia-Pacific region since 1997. Recent HFMD epidemics in this region have heen associated with a severe from of brainstem encephalitis associated with pulmonary oedema and high case-fatality rates.
The data from the phase 1 and 2 trials suggested that the inactivated EV71 vaccine had a clinically acceptable safety and good immunogenicity for healthy Chinese children and infants. According to the immunogenicity and safety results, the 320U with adjuvant with immunizing schedule of two doses (per 28 day) will be applied in phase 3 clinical trial.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- the incidence density of the EV71-associated diseases in the vaccine group and placebo group. [begin at day 56 up to 14 months]
compare the incidence density of the EV71-associated diseases between the vaccine group and placebo group in Chinese children aged 6-35 months.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- the frequency of all the adverse events in vaccine group and placebo group. [up to 14 months]
compare frequency of all the solicited events, unsolicited adverse events and serious adverse events between vaccine group and placebo group.
- Seropositive rate of the vaccine group [8 months after first vaccination]
calculate the seropositive rate of the vaccine group in Chinese children aged 6-35 months at month 8 after first vaccination.
