Typhoid causes significant mortality among young children in resource-limited settings. Conjugate typhoid vaccines could significantly reduce typhoid-related child deaths, but only one WHO-prequalified typhoid conjugate vaccine exists for young children. To address this gap, we investigated the safety, immunogenicity and dose-scheduling of Vi-DT typhoid conjugate vaccine among children aged 6-23 months.
In this single center, observer blind, phase II trial, participants were randomly assigned (2:2:1) to receive one or two doses of Vi-DT or comparator vaccine. Anti-Vi IgG titer and geometric mean titers (GMT) were determined at 0, 4, 24 and 28 weeks. Data were analyzed using per-protocol and immunogenicity (a subset of intention-to-treat analysis) sets. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03527355).
Between April and July 2018, 285 children were randomized; 114 received one or two doses of Vi-DT while 57 received comparator. 277 completed the study follow-up per protocol; 112 and 110 from single- and two-dose Vi-DT schedules, respectively and 55 from the placebo group were included in the per protocol analysis. Safety profile is satisfactory. Thirteen serious adverse events were reported during the 28-week follow-up, none of which were related to Vi-DT. The seroconversion rate four weeks after the first dose was 100% (95% CI 98·3-100) in Vi-DT recipients and 7·0% (95% CI 2·8-16·7) in comparator recipients (p<0·0001). Similarly, the seroconversion rate 4 weeks after the second dose was 98·2% (95% CI 93· 6-99·5) and 21·8% (95% CI 13·0-34·4) among Vi-DT and comparator groups, respectively (p<0·0001). Anti-Vi IgG GMT was significantly higher in Vi-DT than in control group at all post-vaccination visits (p<0·0001).
Both single and two doses of Vi-DT vaccine are safe, well tolerated, and immunogenic for infants and toddlers in a moderately endemic setting.
在资源有限的环境中,伤寒在幼儿中导致相当高的死亡率。结合型伤寒疫苗可显著降低与伤寒相关的儿童死亡,但世卫组织预认证的适用于幼儿的伤寒结合疫苗只有一种。为填补这一空白,我们调查了Vi-DT伤寒结合疫苗在6至23个月大儿童中的安全性、免疫原性和剂量方案。
在这项单中心、观察者盲法的II期试验中,参与者被随机分配(2:2:1)接受一剂或两剂Vi-DT或对照疫苗。在第0、4、24和28周测定抗Vi IgG滴度和几何平均滴度(GMT)。使用符合方案集和免疫原性集(意向性分析的一个子集)进行数据分析。该试验已在ClinicalTrials.gov注册(NCT03527355)。
2018年4月至7月,285名儿童被随机分组;114名接受一剂或两剂Vi-DT,57名接受对照疫苗。277名按方案完成了研究随访;符合方案分析纳入了分别来自单剂量和两剂量Vi-DT方案的112名和110名儿童以及安慰剂组的55名儿童。安全性良好。在28周的随访期间报告了13起严重不良事件,均与Vi-DT无关。Vi-DT接种者在第一剂后四周的血清转化率为100%(95%CI 98·3-100),对照疫苗接种者为7·0%(95%CI 2·8-16·7)(p<0·0001)。同样,第二剂后4周,Vi-DT组和对照疫苗组的血清转化率分别为98·2%(95%CI 93·6-99·5)和21·8%(95%CI 13·0-34·4)(p<0·0001)。在所有疫苗接种后的访视中,Vi-DT组的抗Vi IgG GMT显著高于对照组(p<0·0001)。
在中度流行环境中,单剂量和两剂量Vi-DT疫苗对婴幼儿均安全、耐受性良好且具有免疫原性。
