Comparison of Immunization Schedules of Inactivated Hepatitis A Vaccine and Combined Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B Vaccine

July 26, 2021 updated by: Sinovac Biotech Co., Ltd

Phase IV Immunogenicity and Safety Study of Different Immunization Schedules of Inactivated Hepatitis A Vaccine (HAV) and/ or Combined Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B Vaccine (HABV) in Healthy Chinese Infants

The purpose of this study is to compare the immunogenicity and safety of three different immunization schedules of inactivated hepatitis A vaccine (HAV) and/ or combined hepatitis A and B vaccine (HABV) in healthy Chinese infants.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study is a randomized double-blind, single-center, phase IV clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to compare the immunogenicity and safety of three different immunization schedules of inactivated hepatitis A vaccine (HAV) and/ or combined hepatitis A and B vaccine (HABV) in healthy Chinese infants between 18 and 24 months old. The subjects were randomly assigned into 3 groups. Subjects in group 1 each received 2 doses of HAV with a 6-month interval (at day 0 and month 6); subjects in group 2 each received 1 dose of HAV at day 0 and 1 dose of HABV at month 6; subjects in group 3 each received 2 doses of HABV with a 6-month interval (at day 0 and month 6).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Post-immunization Seropositivity Rates (SPR) to Hepatitis A
Time Frame: 7 months
The post-immunization SPR is the percent of participants with anti-HAV titers ≥ 20 mIU/mL at month 7. Anti-HAV titers were detected in participants' serum samples using electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.
7 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Post-immunization Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) of Hepatitis A Antibody (anti-HAV)
Time Frame: 7 months
The post-immunization GMC values of anti-HAV were measured using electrochemiluminescence immunoassay in serum samples collected at month 7.
7 months
The Post-immunization GMC of Hepatitis B Surface Antibody (HBsAb)
Time Frame: 7 months
The post-immunization GMC values of HBsAb were detected using electrochemiluminescence immunoassay in serum samples collected at month 7.
7 months
The Post-immunization SPR to Hepatitis B
Time Frame: 7 months
The post-immunization SPR is the percent of participants with HBsAb titer ≥ 10 mIU/mL at month 7. HBsAb titers were detected in participants' serum samples using electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.
7 months
Occurrence of Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: 7 months
AE information was collected after first injection (day 0) until month 7. Each AE case was reviewed by the investigator to determine whether or not it was an adverse reaction (related to the vaccination). After each injection, a 30-minute safety observation was conducted immediately, and body temperature and solicited adverse events (AEs) within 72 hours were recorded. Unsolicited AEs information was collected from day 0 (after injection) to month 7.
7 months
