A Phase Ⅱ Clinical Trial of the Recombinant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Vaccine Freeze-dried (AEC/BC02)

A Phase Ⅱ Study on the Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of the Recombinant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Vaccine Freeze-dried

The safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of lyophilized recombinant tuberculosis vaccine (AEC/BC02) were studied in a randomized, blind, controlled phase ⅱ A clinical study in patients 18 years and older with latent infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.Twenty patients with negative control group and 180 patients with latent mycobacterium tuberculosis infection were divided into sentinel group, placebo group, high-dose adjuvant group, low-dose vaccine group, high-dose vaccine group and high-dose vaccine group (three doses).During the test, each subject shall not change groups or receive drugs.The negative control group did not take chemical drugs and did not get vaccinated after enrollment, and was only used as immunogenicity control.The latent infection group was given orally Koch inhibitor chemical drugs (Ifu tablet or Ifu capsule) or placebo twice a week, and then received placebo, adjuvant or vaccine every two weeks (0-2-4-6-8-10 weeks), with a total of 6 doses injected intramuscular alternately in the left and right arms of the upper arm deltoid muscle.

5. Negative control population: the test results are EC- and PPD- (the average diameter of EC skin test induration and flush is less than 5mm, and the PPD skin test induration is less than 5mm), and the chest imaging is normal;
6. People with latent infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: the test result is EC+ (EC skin test induration or flush ≥5mm), and the chest imaging is normal;
