Overview
Brief Summary
A dose escalating study with 3 different dosing regimens of the studied vaccine (IPOVAC- POLYVAC-Vietnam) and a licensed vaccine (IMOVAC-Sanofi Pasteur- France) is conducted in Vietnamese children, aged 2 months and above to assess the safety and immunogenicity. Two hundred and forty children are enrolled and placed randomly into 4 groups (60 children/group), each of which receive 3 doses of vaccine subcutaneously, at 4 week interval. Safety issues included immediate reaction at the site of injection and systemic reaction within 30 min of administration, within 7 days after each dose, unexpected event occur within 30 days of each dose, SAE (from start of dose 1 to 30 days after dose 3), blood cell count, urea, ALT,AST. Immunogenicity outcomes include seroconversion of neutralising antibodies for each of vaccine serotypes.
Detailed Description
The use of oral poliomyelitis vaccine (OPV) in Vietnam expanded immunisation program has resulted in successful eradication of polio in Vietnam. However due to the concern of OPV-related poliomyelitis cases occurred worldwide, WHO has recommended the countries to gradually change to inactivated polio vaccine (IPV). In Vietnam, POLYVAC has been approved and sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology to produce IPV under Japanese technology. The vaccine consisting of 3 serotypes (Serotype 1,2 and 3) has been proven safety in volunteer adults. In this study, a dose escalating study with 3 different dosing regimens of the studied vaccine (IPOVAC) and a licensed vaccine (IMOVAC-Sanofi Pasteur- France) is conducted in Vietnamese children, aged 2 months and above to assess the safety and immunogenicity. Two hundred and forty children are enrolled and placed randomly into 4 groups (60 children/group), each of which receive 3 doses of vaccine subcutaneously, at 4 week interval. Safety issues evaluated include immediate reaction at the site of injection and systemic reaction within 30 min of administration, within 7 days after each dose, unexpected event occur within 30 days of each dose, SAE (from start of dose 1 to 30 days after dose 3), blood cell count, urea, ALT,AST. Seroconversion rates of neutralising antibodies for each of vaccine serotypes are to be assessed.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events after each dose of vaccine
Time Frame: Upto 30 days after each dose
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events after each dose of vaccine, immediately after vaccination (within 30 min), within 7 days and 30 days of vaccination, as assessed by CTCAE v.4.0
Number of participants with 4-fold or more increase in in antibody titers after 2 or 3 doses of vaccine (compared to pre-vaccination)
Time Frame: Upto 30 days after the final dose
Seroconversion rate of each IPOVAC regimen and IMOVAC after 2 or 3 doses of vaccines
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of participants with treatment-related SAE after each vaccination dose(Upto 30 days after vaccine dose)
