Phase I Clinical Trial of PCV24 in People Aged 18 Years and Older

Phase I Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of 24-valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccine in People Aged 18 Years and Older

Phase I clinical trial of 24-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV24) developed by Shanghai Reinovax Biologics Co., LTD will be conducted in Chinese adults aged 18 years and older . The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PCV24. The trial is a single-center, randomized, blind,parallel-controlled design I clinical trial.

Phase I clinical trial of 24-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV24) developed by Shanghai Reinovax Biologics Co., LTD will be conducted in Chinese adults aged 18 years and older. The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PCV24. The active control vaccine is a 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, PPSV23) produced by the Chengdu Institute of Biological Products. The placebo is aluminum phosphate adjuvant (aluminum content 0.25mg/dose), sodium chloride, succinic acid, polysorbate 80, and water for injection except for antigen components in 24-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine developed by Shanghai Ruizhou Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and Vinorelite Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

A total of at least 240 participants will be enrolled, including 84 adults aged 18-60years and 120 elderly people aged ≥61 years. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive one dose of PCV24 formulation 1, PCV24 formulation 2, PPSV23 or placebo.
