A Booster Dose of Inactivated Vaccine (Vero Cell) Against EV71 in Chinese Children
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common viral illness in infants and children caused by viruses that belong to the enterovirus genus of the picornavirus family. Although most HFMD cases do not result in serious complications, outbreaks of HFMD caused by enterovirus 71 (EV71) can present with a high rate of neurological complications, including meningoencephalitis, pulmonary complications, and can even cause infant death. HFMD caused by EV71 has become a major emerging infectious disease in Asia and the highly pathogenic potential of EV71 clearly requires the attention of world medical community.
The phase II study of inactivated vaccine (vero cell) against EV71 has completed last month in Jiangsu Province in China. The data from the phase II study suggested that the inactivated EV71 vaccine had a clinically acceptable safety and good immunogenicity for healthy Chinese children and infants. But the antibody titer against EV71 was found decreased significantly at month 8 compared to that at day 56. Considering the similar dynamic trend had also been found in the antibody against poliovirus induced by polio vaccines, and whose immunization schedule contains a booster dose administrated at 1 to 1.5 year after the first 3 doses of fundamental immunity. In order to find a better immunization schedule for children, the investigators decided to perform this booster immunity trial among these children who had received two doses of EV71 vaccines (around one year after the fundamental immunity). The investigators do the recruitment among these children who had participated in the previous phase II trial and received EV71 vaccines, and randomize them in a ratio of 2:1 to receive either a booster dose of EV71 vaccines or placebo.
Systems Biology of Vaccination for EV71 Vaccine in Chinese Healthy Children Aged From 2 to 5 Years Old
Recently, an inactivated vaccine (vero cell) against EV71 has been investigated in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials. Data from these trials showed that the EV71 vaccine has good safety profile and was immunogenic. 320 U alum-adjuvant vaccine has been chosen as the candidate vaccine for the phase 3 clinical trial.
This clinical trial is a supplementary phase 2 trial, which is designed to study the gene expression patterns induced by EV71 vaccine in Chinese healthy children aged from 2 to 5 years old use a systems biology approach combined with microarray analysis,RT-PCR and neutralizing antibody testing for PBMC and serum collected form the studied children population, to predict immunogenicity, and explore mechanistic insights about the EV71 vaccine.
A Multiple-center Randomized Double-blind Placebo-controlled Phase 3 Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of an Inactivated Vaccine (Vero Cell) Against EV71 in Chinese Children Aged 6-35 Months
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.
