• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2023-07-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This study compares the immunogenity and safety of quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccines. The experimental group receives the quadrivalent influenza vaccine developed by Sinovac Biotech Co., Ltd and the control group immunized with Vaxigrip Tetra™. The group has 1600 persons from general population 3 years and older. The design is double-blind and randomized. The primary outcome is the immunogenicity against the 4 strains of influenza included in both vaccines.

4. History of allergy to any vaccine, or any ingredient of the experimental vaccine.

5. Serious adverse reaction(s) to the vaccine, such as urticaria, dyspnea or angioneurotic edema, etc.;

6. History of serious neurological disorder (such as epilepsy, convulsions, etc.) , or mental illness;

7. Autoimmune disease or immunodeficiency/immunosuppressive, or any immunosuppressant receipt within 6 months prior to the study entry;

8. Significant chronic illnesses that, in the opinion of the investigator, is at a stage where it might interfere with trial conduct or completion (may include, but are not limited to cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes that cannot be controlled by drugs, liver or kidney disorders, HIV infection or malignant tumor;

9. Acute central nervous system diseases such as encephalitis/myelitis, acute disseminating encephalomyelitis, and related disorders;

10. Absence of spleen, functional absence of spleen, and absence or removal of spleen under any circumstances;

11. Diagnosed coagulation function abnormal (e.g., coagulation factor deficiency, coagulation disorder, or platelet abnormalities), or obvious bruising or coagulation disorders;

12. Alcoholism or history of drug abuse

13. Acute disease or acute stage of chronic disease within 7 days prior to study entry;

14. Received blood products within 3 months prior to study entry;

15. Received any live attenuated vaccine within 14 days prior to study entry or any subunit vaccine or inactivated vaccine within 7 days prior to study entry;

16. Pregnant women or lactating women;

17. Subjects participate other clinical trials (licensed or unlicensed vaccines, drugs, organisms, devices, blood products or drugs) during the study period;

18. Any other factors which are unsuitable for participation in the clinical trial as judged by the investigator.
