Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the immunogenicity, safety and immune persistence of recombinant trivalent rotavirus subunit vaccine in healthy infants aged 6-12 weeks and healthy toddlers aged 7-71 months.

Detailed Description

This clinical trial is aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and immune persistence of recombinant trivalent rotavirus subunit vaccine in Chinese healthy infants aged 6-12 weeks and healthy toddlers aged 7-71 months.The subjects will be divided into 12 subgroups. Two different immune regimens and two dose levels will be evaluated in each age group. Toddlers aged 7-71 months will receive two intramuscular injections on Day 0 and 28 or three intramuscular injections on Day 0, 28 and 56. Infants aged 6-12 weeks will receive three intramuscular injections on Day 0, 28 and 56 or Day 0, 56 and 112. Two dose (mid dose and high dose) will be included in each age group. To maintain blindness in the trial, in each age group with fixed immune regimen, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive mid dose vaccine, high dose vaccine, or placebo.

  15. Concurrent participation or plan to participate in another clinical trial throughout the study;

  16. According to the judgment of the investigator, the subject has any other factors that are not suitable for participating in the clinical trial.

    Subsequent vaccination exclusion criteria:

  17. Severe allergic reaction after the previous injection of study vaccine;

  18. Serious adverse reactions that are causally related to the previous vaccination;

  19. After the first vaccination, subjects with newly discovered or newly happened diseases that meet the first dose exclusion criteria will be determined by the investigator whether to continue participating the study;

  20. Other reasons for exclusion judged by the investigator.
