Study summary

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the EV71vaccine efficacy, immune response and safety profiles after two injections of the cell culture-based inactivated EV71 vaccine with adjuvant Al(OH)3 administrated in pediatric population aged 2 months to 6 years old.

Read the detailed description

The clinical trial designed in this Study is a placebo-controlled, double-blinded Phase III and is aimed to evaluate the vaccine efficacy, safety, immunogenicity and immune persistence of cell culture-based inactivated EV71 vaccine in children age of 2 months to \<6 years old. Two doses of Alum-adjuvanted 1.0 μg per dose of EV71 vaccine candidate will be administrated to subjects. The efficacy will be evaluated within a two year period after receiving 2-regimen vaccination by comparing the EV71-associated disease rates between the vaccine and placebo groups. Whereas, the immunogenicity will be assessed on Day 56 and Day 196, and the immune persistence will be evaluated on Day 392. Safety will be followed up to Day 392.

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.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

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.

Evaluate the efficacy of vaccination against the severe complications, including neurologic, pulmonary edema, and cardiorespiratory failure, of EV71 associated HFMD/HA diseases after completion of full vaccination. 2. Evaluate the efficacy of vaccination against the hospitalization of EV71 associated HFMD/HA diseases after completion of full vaccination.

    Time frame: Day 0,56,196,and 392

  3. Adverse events of EV71 vaccine

    1. Occurrence and severity of solicited injection site relations and general reactions within 7 days following each injection. 2.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 11, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
