To Evaluate the Immunogenicity and Safety of Inactivated Hepatitis A Vaccine (VITHA-A)

March 19, 2020 updated by: Boryung Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd

A Randomized, Double-blind, Multi-center, Active Controlled, Parallel-designed, Phase III Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Immunogenicity and Safety of Inactivated Hepatitis A Vaccine in Healthy Youths Above 16 Years or Adults

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity after one primary dose and one additional dose (administered twice at an interval of 6 months) of inactivated hepatitis A vaccine are administered in adolescents (16 years of age or older) or adults.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

For this, a two-group comparison study will be conducted using a previously approved inactivated hepatitis A vaccine (Havrix Inj., manufactured by GSK) as the control vaccine to prove that the immunogenicity of the test vaccine treatment group is not inferior to the control vaccine treatment group and to statistically confirm that there is no difference in safety.
