The Immunogenicity and Safety of Inactivated and Live Attenuated Hepatitis A Vaccines

Phase 4

Completed

• Conditions: Hepatitis A
• Interventions: Biological: Attenuated HAV Vaccine, L-A-1 Strain; Biological: Inactivated HAV Vaccine, Lu8 Strain; Biological: Inactivated HAV Vaccine, TZ84 Strain; Biological: Attenuated HAV Vaccine, H2 Strain

• Registration Number: NCT01949857
• Lead Sponsor: Institute of Medical Biology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences

Brief Summary

The purpose of this Phase 4 trial is to assess the safety, immunogenicity, three-year immune persistence of inactivated hepatitis A vaccine (HAV) and live attenuated HAV vaccine.

Detailed Description

Hepatitis A refers to liver inflammation caused by infection with the hepatitis A virus. HAV is is one of the most common hepatitis viruses that can cause hepatitis in China. The data from the phase 1, 2 and 3 trials suggested that both inactivated hepatitis A vaccine and live attenuated hepatitis A vaccine had a clinically acceptable safety and good immunogenicity for healthy Chinese people.
