  Purpose

This study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo (hepatitis B vaccine) controlled phase 3 clinical trial. The vaccination schedule is 0, 1, 6 month. Subjects were randomly allocated into two groups, one received Hepatitis E vaccine and the other received hepatitis B vaccine. The study is carried out with two stages. In the first stage (phase 3a), about 2000 subjects will be enrolled and solicited monitored for adverse events for 1 month after each injection. Serum samples from all subjects were collected on day 0, 7m, 13m and 19m to evaluate the immunogenicity and immuno-persistency. In the second stage (phase 3b), another 100,000 subjects will be enrolled and be unsolicited monitored for adverse events for 1 month after each injection. Serum samples from about 10,000 subjects were collected on day 0 and 7m to evaluate the immunogenicity. All subjects were followed up for acute hepatitis and severe adverse events during the trial.
