A Phase Ⅳ Clinical Trial of the Recombinant Hepatitis E Vaccine (Escherichia Coli)(Coadministration With Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccine)

Safety and Immunogenicity Study of the Recombinant Hepatitis E Vaccine(Escherichia Coli) Coadministration With Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccine

This is a open label, randomized phase VI study, to assess the safety and immunogenicity of co-administration of Hepatitis E vaccine with Hepatitis B vaccine. The concomitant group (n =300) received Hepatitis B vaccine concomitantly with Hepatitis E vaccine at day 1 and months 1 and 6; The nonconcomitant group (n =150) received Hepatitis E vaccine at at day 1 and months 1 and 6. Another nonconcomitant group (n=150) received Hepatitis B vaccine at at day 1 and months 1 and 6.

Anti-HEV IgG and HBsAb were determined. Injection-site and systemic adverse events (AEs) were monitored for 30 days after any vaccination; serious AEs were monitored throughout the study.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy people aged over 18 years old on the day of enrollment
• Negative in HBsAg,HBsAb and HBcAb.
• Judged as healthy and eligible for vaccination by the investigators through a selfreported medical history and some physical examinations.

• Administration of any immunoglobulin or blood products within 3 months preceding the first dose of the study vaccine,or plan to use during the study period.
• Administration of any inactivated vaccines within 14 days preceding the first dose of the study or attenuated live vaccines within 21 days preceding the first dose of the study.
• Had a fever (axillary temperature over 38°C) within 3 days or acute illness requiring systemic antibiotics or antiviral treatment within 5 days before vaccination.
