Study summary

The goal of this study is to compare the immunogenicity and safety of sIPV administered via subcutaneous and intramuscular injection routes

Read the detailed description

This is an open-labelled, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Totally 480 healthy infants of 2 months old (aged 56-84 days) are planned to be enrolled, and then randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio into four groups (group A, B, C, D). Group A-D will receive three doses of primary immunization against polio as per the 2wIPV+1sIPV (First 2 doses: wIPV. 3rd dose: sIPV), 1wIPV+2sIPV (1st dose: wIPV. 2nd \& 3rd doses: sIPV), 3wIPV, 3sIPV vaccination regimen, with an interval of 28 days (+14 days) between doses. In each intervention group, two-thirds of the participants will receive the full-course vaccination via intramuscular injections, while the remaining one-third will receive it via subcutaneous injections.

For all the participants, the immediate reactions within 30 minutes after each dose of vaccination will be observed on study site. Guardians of participants will utilize the diary card to record adverse events (AEs) from the time of vaccination for 7 days after each dose of vaccination, and will utilize the diary card to record any AEs from 8 days up to 28 days after each dose of vaccination. SAEs arise from the time of vaccination up to 28 days after the last vaccination will be collected.

About 3.0 ml venous blood will be collected before the first vaccination and 28 days (+14 days) after the last vaccination. Neutralizing antibody (Nab) titer against polioviruses of three serotypes will be determined for immunogenicity evaluation.

Approximately 5.0 ml of venous blood will be drawn from the mothers to test for these disease infections. Alternatively, mothers may provide relevant test results obtained during pregnancy for these infections. This approach will enable the investigators to identify any potential perinatal transmission to the infant and offer appropriate guidance and management for both the mother and the child.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(11)

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.

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.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

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.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

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.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The SPR of nab against polioviruses of three types at day 28 after three doses of vaccination

    SPR indicates seropositivity rate; seropositivity is defined as a nab titer ≥1:8

    Time frame: day 28 after three doses of vaccination

  2. The frequency of adverse reactions within 28 days after vaccination

    Time frame: day 0-28 after vaccination

Secondary outcomes

  1. The SCR of nab against polioviruses of three serotypes at day 28 after three doses of vaccination

    SCR indicates seroconversion rat;nab indicates neutralizing antibody; seroconversion is defined as a fold increase in nab titer after vaccination for participants who are seropositive (≥1:8) at baseline, or a post-vaccination nab titer ≥1:8 for participants who are seronegative (\<1:8) at baseline

    Time frame: day 28 after three doses of vaccination

  2. The GMT of nab against polioviruses of three serotypes at day 28 after three doses of vaccination

    GMT indicates geometric mean titer

    Time frame: day 28 after three doses of vaccination

  3. The GMFR of nab against polioviruses of three serotypes at day 28 after three doses of vaccination

    GMFR indicates geometric mean fold increase

    Time frame: day 28 after three doses of vaccination

  4. The frequency of SAEs from the first vaccination to 28 days after the last vaccination

    SAE indicates serious adverse events

    Time frame: From the first vaccination to 28 days after the last vaccination
