Study summary

This study is to evaluate lot-lot consistency of Recombinant Hepatitis E Vaccine (Escherichia Coli) Hecolin®.

Read the detailed description

This study is a mono-center, randomization, double-blind clinical trial in healthy subjects between 18 to 50. Under the premise of full informed consent, 360 subjects that meet the requirement of clinical trial in the age of 18-50 will be divided into 3 groups and injected 3 consecutive batches of Hecolin® separately. The main outcome measures are the immunogenicity evaluation and safety surveillance after inoculation according to prescribed immunization procedure.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Seroconversion rate and GMC of anti-HEV IgG at Month 7.

    Measure anti-HEV IgG in serum samples at 7 month to evaluate the immunogenicity of the Hepatitis E vaccine.

    Time frame: 7 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Adverse reactions/events of all subjects

    Measure solicited local adverse reactions within 7 days after each vaccination; Measure solicited systematic adverse reactions within 7 days after each vaccination; Measure unsolicited adverse reactions within 30 days after vaccination; Measure serious adverse events occurred throughout the study.

    Time frame: up to 7 months
