Study Description

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the non-inferiority of experimental EV71 vaccine compared to the control EV71 vaccine in children aged 36-71 months, to evaluate the non-inferiority of EV71 vaccine used in children aged 36-71 months compared to 6-35 months. The experimental vaccine was manufactured by Sinovac Biotech Co., Ltd, and the control vaccine was manufactured by Institute of Medical Biology Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease	Biological: 36-71 months old children-experimental EV71 vaccine.; Biological: 36-71 months old children-control EV71 vaccine.; Biological: 6-35 months old children-experimental EV71 vaccine.	Phase 3

Detailed Description:

This study is a randomized, double-blind, single-center, controlled phase III clinical trial in children aged 36-71 months, and bridging trial between agegroup of 6-35 and 36-71 months. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the experimental EV71 vaccine in children aged 36-71 months. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the non-inferiority of experimental EV71 vaccine compared to the control EV71 vaccine in children aged 36-71 months, and the non-inferiority of EV71 vaccine used in children aged 36-71 months compared to 6-35 months. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of the experimental vaccine used in children aged 36-71 months. The experimental vaccine is manufactured by Sinovac Biotech Co., Ltd, and the control vaccine is manufactured by Institute of Medical Biology Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. 600 children aged 36-71 months will be randomly assigned in to receive the experimental vaccine or control vaccine, and 300 children aged 6-35 months will receive the experimental vaccine.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Experimental group; 36-71 months old children-experimental EV71 vaccine.	Biological: 36-71 months old children-experimental EV71 vaccine.; Two doses experimental EV71 vaccine at the 0, 30 days vaccination schedule.
Active Comparator: Vaccine-controlled group; 36-71 months old children-control EV71 vaccine.	Biological: 36-71 months old children-control EV71 vaccine.; Two doses control EV71 vaccine at the 0, 30 days vaccination schedule.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. The seroconversion rates (SCR) of the EV71 neutralizing antibody calculated based on the cutoff value of 1:8 [ Time Frame: 30 days after two doses ]
   Subjects whose pre-immune antibody titer < 1:8 and post-immune antibody titer ≥ 1:8, or those whose pre-immune antibody titer ≥ 1:8 and the increase of post-immune antibody level ≥ 4 folds are considered seroconverted.
2. The Geometric mean titer (GMT) of the EV71 neutralizing antibody in the susceptible population [ Time Frame: 30 days after two doses ]
   The susceptible population refer to the subjects whose pre-immune antibody titer <1:8

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. The overall incidence of adverse reactions [ Time Frame: 0-30 days after each dose ]
   After each dose, a 30-minute safety observation will be conducted immediately. The body temperature, solicited local and general adverse events (AE) on day 0-7 were reported. The solicited local symptoms include pain, induration, redness, swelling, rash, and pruritus. The solicited general adverse symptoms include allergy, fatigue, irritability, inappetence, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. Unsolicited adverse events on day 0-30 were also reported, which include the unsolicited symptoms happened within 0-7 days, and any symptoms happened within the 8-28 days. Each AE case will be reviewed by the investigator to determine whether it was an adverse reaction (The vaccination-related AE). The incidence of adverse reactions=Number of subjects who have adverse reactions of any symptoms/number of all the subjects whose safety information are collected.
2. The incidence of the serious adverse events (SAE) [ Time Frame: 0-30 days after each dose ]
   After each dose, the serious adverse events in the safety observation period will be reported. The SAE incidence=Number of subjects who have SAE of any symptoms/Number of subjects whose safety information are collected.
3. The seroconversion rates (SCR) of the EV71 neutralizing antibody calculated based on the cutoff value of 1:16, 1:32, and 1:64 respectively [ Time Frame: 30 days after two doses ]
   Subjects whose pre-immune antibody titer <1:16(1:32/1:64) and post-immune antibody titer ≥1:16(1:32/1:64), or those whose pre-immune antibody titer ≥ 1:16(1:32/1:64) and the increase of post-immune antibody level ≥ 4 folds are considered seroconverted.
4. The Geometric mean titer (GMT) of the EV71 neutralizing antibody [ Time Frame: 30 days after two doses ]
   The GMT 30 days after two doses.
