Post-marketing Clinical Observation of Hualan's Inactivated Influenza Vaccine: A Single Center, Parallelled, Controlled, Randomised Clinical Trial

Phase III clinical trial was carried out in Jintan city, Jiangsu Province, China in May, 2006. Trial results showed that the vaccine had proved safety and immunogenicity. Influenza vaccine of Hualanbio has obtained production permission and marketing authorization in May, 2008.

In order to further investigate the safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine in the market, The clinical observation was planned to be conducted in Mianyang city (Yanting County), Sichuan Province, China.

Dosage and administration route in this clinical trial:

Subjects age 3 years or older was vaccinated following a single 0.5ml dose immunization regime.

The preferred site of injection was the at the skin near outboard deltoid muscle of the upper arm.

• Summarize the adverse events/severe adverse events and the incidence levels from the inclusion of the subjects to the completion of the clinical trial.

Immunogenicity indicators:

Evaluate the Post-vaccination immunogenicity of the test and the control influenza vaccines in persons age 3 years and older by its HI antibody level on Day 28.

Take 1:10 serum dilution as the minimum dilutability. The seroconversion in this trial was defined as the post-vaccination HI antibody titer ≥ 1:40 when the HI antibody < 1:10 before the vaccination or the post-vaccination HI antibody titer quadruply increased when HI antibody ≥ 1:10 before the vaccination.

The Immunogenicity criteria set for this clinical trial is the seroconversion shall be > 40% after 14 days of the vaccination.
