RESUMEN
Aim: The aims of the study were to evaluate the non-inferiority of the safety and immunogenicity of a new trial purified vero cell-cultured rabies vaccine (trial vaccine) in healthy subjects comparing with the control purified vero cell-cultured rabies vaccine (control vaccine) following Essen regimen and to evaluate the non-inferiority of the safety and immunogenicity of the trial vaccine following two intramuscular regimens, between Zagreb and Essen regimen. Methods: Serum samples were collected before vaccination and on d 7, 14, 35/42 post vaccination. Adverse events (AEs) were recorded for 30 d following each vaccination. This study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR-PPR-15007057). Results: There was no significant difference in the incidence of AEs, local and systemic reactions, among Zagreb group, Essen group, and control group. But the incidence of solicited AEs was a significant difference among the three groups (p = 0.0498). The incidence of solicited AEs was higher in Essen group than that in control group and Zagreb group (p = 0.0278, p = 0.0248). In the subjects whose antibodies were seronegative before vaccination, the seroconversion rates of antibodies among three groups were all 100.0% on d 14 and d 35/42. The Essen group was not inferior to the control group, and the Zagreb group was not inferior to the Essen group on d 14. On d 14 and d 35/42, the geometric mean concentration of the three groups was much higher than the immune protection level of 0.5 IU/ml. Conclusions: The trial vaccine had good safety and immunogenicity, and the trial vaccine is not inferior to the control vaccine.

Background: Mumps vaccine immunizations have reduced the incidence of this disease. With the variation of mumps circulating strain, novel vaccine strains are always important. Methods: A 2-center parallel, randomized, double-blind noninferiority trial was performed to compare an F-genotype attenuated mumps vaccine (SP strain) to the A-genotype vaccine (S-79, Jeryl-Lynn strain) in 1080 healthy children aged 8-24 months in Hubei, China. Results: Participants were randomly assigned to receive a high or low dose of the SP or S79 vaccine and then assessed clinically at 30 minutes and 1-28 days postinoculation. No differences in local or systemic reactivity were observed. A similar incidence of severe adverse events associated with the vaccine was observed in the high-dose group and the positive control group. Based on throat swab collections, no viral shedding was present at the 4th and 10th days in any group. Neutralizing and hemagglutination-inhibiting antibody assays with the F- or A-genotype strains showed similar trends in geometric mean titers in the high-dose SP and S79 groups. Increased cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses were observed in all groups. Conclusions: The F-genotype attenuated mumps vaccine is safe, offers immunogenicity against a homologous virus, and is noninferior to the A-genotype vaccine in 8- to 24-month-old children.
