Brief Summary

The safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of lyophilized recombinant tuberculosis vaccine (AEC/BC02) were studied in a randomized, blind, controlled phase ⅱ A clinical study in patients 18 years and older with latent infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.Twenty patients with negative control group and 180 patients with latent mycobacterium tuberculosis infection were divided into sentinel group, placebo group, high-dose adjuvant group, low-dose vaccine group, high-dose vaccine group and high-dose vaccine group (three doses).During the test, each subject shall not change groups or receive drugs.The negative control group did not take chemical drugs and did not get vaccinated after enrollment, and was only used as immunogenicity control.The latent infection group was given orally Koch inhibitor chemical drugs (Ifu tablet or Ifu capsule) or placebo twice a week, and then received placebo, adjuvant or vaccine every two weeks (0-2-4-6-8-10 weeks), with a total of 6 doses injected intramuscular alternately in the left and right arms of the upper arm deltoid muscle.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The number of adverse events after intramuscular injection

    The observation of adverse events mainly come from vital sign detection and laboratory examination (including blood routine/urine routine/blood biochemistry/electrocardiogram and chest X-ray), local reactions and systemic reactions after injection.

    Up to 6 months after the sixth time injection

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Laboratory markers of immunity

    Up to 3 months after the sixth time injection

  • Laboratory markers of immunity

    Up to 3 months after the sixth time injection

  • Laboratory markers of immunity

    Up to 3 months after the sixth time injection

Study Arms (7)

Negative control population group

NO INTERVENTION

In population I, 20 subjects were considered to be recombinant mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein (EC) and BCG pure protein derivative (BCG-PPD) skin test results were negative.The type I population did not take chemical drugs and was not vaccinated, and was only used as immunogenicity control.

Sentinel group

OTHER

In Population Ⅱ, 20 subjects were considered to be recombinant mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein (EC) was positive. First, 5 people aged 18-59 years were selected for low dose injection, 5 people aged 18-59 years were selected for high dose injection, 5 people aged ≥60 years were selected for low dose injection, and 5 people aged ≥60 years were selected for high dose injection.The subjects received a total of 6 doses of the vaccine, 1 dose every 2 weeks.

EXPERIMENTAL

In population Ⅲ, 40 subjects were considered to be recombinant mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein (EC) was positive. The type Ⅲ population were injected Low-dose freeze-dried recombinant tuberculosis vaccine (AEC / BC02).The subjects received a total of 6 doses of the vaccine, 1 dose every 2 weeks.

In population Ⅴ, 40 subjects were considered to be recombinant mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein (EC) was positive. The type Ⅴ population were injected 3 dose of High-dose freeze-dried recombinant tuberculosis vaccine (AEC / BC02) and 3 dose of Lyophilized recombinant tuberculosis vaccine (AEC / BC02) placebo.The first, third, and sixth doses of the subjects were High-dose freeze-dried recombinant tuberculosis vaccine (AEC / BC02), and the second, fourth, and fifth doses were Lyophilized recombinant tuberculosis vaccine (AEC / BC02) placebo. Each dose is 2 weeks apart.
