Study summary

This study is a phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo and active comparator-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a trivalent split influenza virus vaccine (MDCK cell) developed by Sinovac Biotech Co., Ltd., in participants aged 6 months and above.

Read the detailed description

A total of 175 healthy trial participants ≥6 months of age will be enrolled, including 50 children aged 6-35 months, 25 children aged 3-8 years, 50 children and adults aged 9-59 years, and 50 elderly participants aged ≥60 years. All trial participants will be randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio to the investigational group, active comparator group or placebo group. Children aged 6-35 months vaccine-naïve children aged 3-8 years will receive 2 doses of cell-based trivalent influenza vaccine (cTIV), egg-based trivalent influenza vaccine (eTIV), or placebo, with an interval of 28 days. Other trial participants will receive a single dose of investigational vaccine cTIV, eTIV, or placebo.

  3. Known history of a severe allergic reaction to the study vaccine or any of its components, including urticaria, dyspnea, angioedema, or anaphylaxis;
  4. Fever on the scheduled day of study vaccination, defined as an axillary temperature >37.0°C before vaccination;
  5. Skin lesions, inflammation, ulcers, rashes, scars, or other conditions at the intended injection site that may interfere with vaccination or the assessment of local reactions;

Poorly controlled chronic disease or a history of serious disease, including but not limited to cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease (e.g., poorly controlled diabetes mellitus), hematologic disease, hepatic or renal disease, gastrointestinal disease, respiratory disease, malignancy, or a history of major organ transplantation. For participants aged ≥18 years, hypertension inadequately controlled with medication is defined as: Systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg for participants aged 18-59 years; Systolic blood pressure ≥150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg for participants aged ≥60 years;
  9. Autoimmune disease, immunodeficiency disorder, or a relevant family history, including but not limited to Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), systemic lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis, autoimmune thyroid disease, anatomic asplenia, functional asplenia, or HIV infection;
  10. Coagulation abnormalities, including coagulation factor deficiency or platelet disorders;
  11. Current or previous severe neurologic disease, including epilepsy, convulsions, or seizures, except for a history of febrile seizures in infants or young children; severe psychiatric disorder; or a family history of schizophrenia;
  12. Receipt of immunosuppressive agents or other immunomodulatory therapy for ≥14 days within the previous 6 months, including prednisone at a dose of ≥20 mg/day or ≥2 mg/kg/day, or another systemic corticosteroid at an equivalent prednisone dose; receipt of cytotoxic therapy; or intention to receive any such therapy during the study. Topical and inhaled corticosteroids are excluded;
  13. Receipt of immunoglobulins or other blood products within the previous 3 months, or intention to receive such products during the study;
  14. Receipt of any other investigational drug or vaccine within the previous 30 days, or intention to receive any such drug or vaccine during the study;
  15. Receipt of a live attenuated vaccine or viral vector vaccine within the previous 14 days, or receipt of a subunit, inactivated, or other non-live vaccine within the previous 7 days;
  16. Any acute illness or acute exacerbation of a chronic disease within the previous 7 days, or any known or suspected active infection;
  17. Breastfeeding or pregnancy, including a positive urine pregnancy test, or an intention to become pregnant or donate oocytes from the time of signing the informed consent form until 6 months after study vaccine administration; for male participants, an intention to father a child or donate sperm during the same period;
  18. Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, would make the participant unsuitable for participation in the study.
