简要总结
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) vaccine is an effective strategy to prevent natural HAV infection. In Thailand, there are 2 types of HAV vaccine available, including inactivated HAV vaccine and live-attenuated HAV vaccine. This study aims to compare the immunogenicity and safety of inactivated and lived-attenuated HAV vaccine among Thai healthy children and adolescents age 18 months to 18 years.
详细描述
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection is one of the common cause of viral hepatitis in children and adolescents in developing countries, including Thailand. This virus is easily transmitted through ingestion of contaminated food and water or through direct contact with an infectious person. Generally, HAV causes acute hepatitis, ranging mild illness to severe fulminant hepatitis (acute liver failure), but does not cause chronic liver disease. HAV vaccine is an effective strategy to prevent natural HAV infection as well as serious consequences of the illness.
Currently, there are 2 types of HAV vaccine available in Thailand, including (1) inactivated vaccine (I-HAV) which is recommended for 2 doses, 6 months apart and is approved for children age 1 year and above; and (2) live-attenuated vaccine (L-HAV) which is recommended for 1 dose and is approved for children age 18 months and above. However, these vaccines have not included in the Thailand Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) yet. Thus, vaccination coverage rate is suboptimal in the country. Moreover, the information regarding immunogenicity and safety of both vaccines is limited.
This is a randomized, active-controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial which aims to compare the immunogenicity and safety of a marketed inactivated (I-HAV) and a live-attenuated HAV vaccine (L-HAV) among Thai healthy children and adolescents age 18 months to 18 years. This study will provide important information about the immunogenicity and safety profiles of both vaccines in Thai healthy youth as well as demonstrate the associated factors of HAV vaccine-elicited immunity in this population.
