Preliminary Study on Safety and Immunogenicity of Influenza A (H7N9) Vaccine in the Population

Adopt the design of random, blind method and placebo to parallel control and progressive methods of groups to study and evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of influenza A (H7N9) vaccine (two types, one type with two specifications) on people of different ages. The vaccines used for testing include: influenza A (H7N9) virus inactivated vaccine/split influenza vaccine (15μg /dose), influenza A (H7N9) virus inactivated vaccine/split influenza vaccine (30μg / dose), influenza A (H7N9) virus inactivated vaccine/whole influenza vaccine (7.5μg / dose) and influenza A (H7N9) virus inactivated vaccine/ whole influenza vaccine (15μg / dose).

The study between different subgroups was carried out in an orderly and progressive manner, that is, each kind of vaccine by the dose is from low to high according to the order of age from old to young. Firstly, the study on 15μg/dose split vaccine group (aged 18 and above) and 7.5μg/dose whole-virus vaccine group (aged 18 and above) was carried out and then the study on 15μg/dose split vaccine group (aged 12-17) and 7.5μg/dose whole-virus vaccine group (aged 12-17) was conducted upon 7-day safety was confirmed after the vaccination, finally the study on 30μg/dose split vaccine group (aged 18 and above) and 15μg/dose whole-virus vaccine group (aged 18 and above) was done. By that analogy for the same conditions, the next group of test can be done after the 7-day safety of the last group of vaccine is confirmed.

Subjects and researchers didn't know the formulations of the vaccines used. The vaccine is injected into the upper arm deltoid muscle. After 30 minutes of field observation on safety, the subjects' axillary temperature shall be recorded on the Record Book prepared by the research and local and systemic reactions to injection at the 6th, 24th, 48th, and 72th hour and on the 4th, 8th, 21st and 30th day shall also be recorded. This paper collected 5 serum samples: day 0 (before the first-dose vaccination), day 4 (after the first-dose vaccination), day 21 (before the second-dose vaccination), day 25 (fourth day after the second-dose vaccination) and day 42 (21st day after the second-dose vaccination), of which, blood samples on day 0, 21 and 42 should be stored at 18℃ for antibody detection and the remaining 2 blood samples are only used for blood routine examination, routine urine test, blood biochemistry and other laboratory examinations.

Exclusion criteria of the second vaccination Level 3 and above allergic reactions (local and general side effect, vital signs and abnormal laboratory index) related to vaccine were appeared after the first vaccination.

Level 2 and above allergic reactions related to vaccine were appeared after the first vaccination.
