Institute of Medical Biology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences270 enrolled

Overview

This is a thirteen-year follow-up study conducted as an extension of a Phase III clinical trial. In this study, a sub-cohort of volunteers who was eligible for enrollment and randomly administrated either 2 dose EV71 vaccine or placebo in the phase III clinical trial was selected to evaluate the EV71 immune levels 13 years after the primary vaccination.

The initial study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III clinical trial conducted in children aged 6-71 months from Guilin region of Guangxi Province in 2012. A total of 12000 participants (with 1100 in the immunogenicity group) were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive two doses EV71 vaccine or placebo on a 0-, 28-day schedule. Besides, an extended one-year and two year follow-up of this study was completed in 2013. In this study, immunogenicity group participants from the phase III clinical trial was chosen as the studied subjects. A retrospective survey for the enrolled subjects involved with the history of HFMD and the extra vaccination of EV71 vaccine was conducted before blood collection. 3 ml venous blood were collected from each available subject for EV71 neutralizing antibody (NAb) testing. Since the unblinding was performed after the initial study completed, this study was an open-labelled detection for the persistence of the vaccine-induced EV71 NAb.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Immunogenicity index-seropositive rates of neutralizing antibody

Neutralizing antibody assay will be performed using the neutralization and Microneutralization test method. Seropositive will be defined as the positive results with ties≥1:8

Time frame: Year 13 after the second vaccination

Immunogenicity index-geometric mean titer (GMT) of neutralizing antibody

Neutralizing antibody assay will be performed using the neutralization and Microneutralization test method

Time frame: Year 13 after the second vaccination
