Bridging Clinical Trial of EV71 Vaccine in Vietnamese Children

NCT07793175 | Not Yet Recruiting

• 1 other identifier: PRO-EV71-4016
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 320
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of an inactivated Enterovirus Type 71 (EV71) vaccine, manufactured by Sinovac, in healthy Vietnamese children aged 6 to 71 months. Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) is a common infectious disease in children, and EV71 is a major cause of severe complications and outbreaks in the Asia-Pacific region, including Vietnam. While this vaccine has demonstrated high efficacy and a favorable safety profile in previous clinical trials conducted in China, this study aims to generate specific bridging data for the Vietnamese pediatric population. This is a single-armed bridging clinical trial that plans to enroll approximately 320 healthy participants. Each participant will receive two doses of the EV71 vaccine administered intramuscularly on a 0 and 30-day schedule. The primary objective is to assess the seroconversion rate of neutralizing antibodies 30 days after the second dose. Safety will be assessed by monitoring the incidence of adverse reactions and serious adverse events (SAEs) throughout the study duration (approximately 2 months).

Conditions

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD); Enterovirus 71 Infection

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Seroconversion rate of Enterovirus Type 71 (EV71) neutralizing antibodies

  Seroconversion is defined as: (1) a post-vaccination neutralizing antibody titer of ≥ 1:8 in participants with a pre-vaccination titer of \< 1:8; or (2) at least a four-fold increase in neutralizing antibody titer in participants with a pre-vaccination titer of ≥ 1:8.

  30 days after the second dose of vaccination

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Seropositive rate, GMT and GMFR of neutralizing antibodies

  30 days after the second dose of vaccination

• Safety endpoints

  From the first dose vaccination until 30 days after the second dose vaccination

Study Arms (1)

EV71 Vaccine Group

EXPERIMENTAL

All participants will receive two intramuscular doses of the inactivated Enterovirus Type 71 (EV71) vaccine (0.5 mL per dose) on a 0 and 30-day schedule.

Biological: EV71 vaccine

Interventions

EV71 vaccine BIOLOGICAL

Inactivated Enterovirus Type 71 Vaccine (Vero Cell), 0.5 mL per dose. Each dose contains no less than 3.0 EU of inactivated EV71 antigen adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxide. The vaccine is supplied as a milky white suspension in a pre-filled syringe. Participants will receive two intramuscular (IM) injections into the deltoid region of the upper arm, administered on a 0 and 30-day schedule.
