Immunogenicity and Safety of A Lyophilized Purified Human Diploid Cell Rabies Vaccine .

May 30, 2019 updated by: Jiangsu Province Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Immunogenicity and Safety of A Lyophilized Purified Human Diploid Cell Rabies Vaccine in Chinese Healthy People Aged 10-60 Years.: A Randomized, Blinded, Phase III Clinical Trial.

Rabies is caused by rabies virus with a 100% mortality rate in humans. Most of cases occur in Africa and Asia, mainly in underserved populations. Rabies is a vaccine-preventable disease in both humans and animals. The WHO clearly states that human diploid cell rabies vaccine is the "gold standard" rabies vaccine, because of no carcinogenicity and any foreign animal impurity or neurotoxicity factor. China does not approve the import of foreign HDCV and has insufficiency domestic HDCV, so this clinic trial was to assess the immunogenicity and safety of HDCV in healthy population for the large-scale developing of a lyophilized and purified HDCV.

Detailed Description

Rabies is caused by rabies virus with a 100% mortality rate in humans. An estimated 59000 human deaths and over 3.7 million disability-adjusted life years lost every year. Most of cases occur in Africa and Asia, mainly in underserved populations, with approximately 40% of cases in children aged <15 years. WHO and its partners have endorsed a target of Zero Human Rabies Deaths from dog-transmitted rabies by 2030 (Zero by 30). Fortunately, rabies is a vaccine-preventable disease in both humansand animals.

At present, chicken embryo cell vaccine, Vero cell vaccine, hamster kidney cell vaccine, and human diploid cell (HDC) rabies vaccine (HDCV) have been approved. The WHO clearly states that HDCV is the "gold standard" rabies vaccine. Because HDCs are normal karyotype cells without carcinogenicity, the HDCV does not contain any foreign animal impurity or neurotoxicity factor. Furthermore, there are fewer injections required and mild adverse reactions and it is safe and efficacious; thus, it is recommended by the WHO as the "nearly ideal human vaccine." Although HDCV was primarily used in developed countries prior to 2015, China does not approve the import of foreign HDCV. Meanwhile, domestic diploid rabies vaccine for human use is insufficiency and in this regard, Minhai Biothechnology Co., Ltd in China has overcome technical difficulties for the large-scale developing of a lyophilized and purified HDCV. This clinic trial was to assess the immunogenicity and safety of HDCV in healthy population vaccinated according to the Essen and Zagreb post-exposure immunization schedule, exploring the appropriate immunization procedures.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
