Eligibility Criteria

2 Years - 10 Years (Child)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Written informed consent obtained from the mother, father, or guardian of the child.
  • Free of obvious health problems and be fully vaccinated according local EPI schedule as established by medical history including physical examination and clinical judgment of the investigator.
  • Mother, father, or guardian capable and willing to bring their child or to receive home visits for their child for all follow-up visits.

  • Administration of any other vaccine within 30 days prior to administration of study vaccines or planned vaccination during the first four weeks after the study vaccination.
  • Use of any investigational or nonregistered product within 60 days prior to the administration of study vaccines.
  • Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products or planned administration during the study participation period.
  • Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying agents since birth (including systemic or inhaled corticosteroids, this means prednisone, or equivalent, ≥0.5 mg/kg/day; topical steroids are allowed).

  • Acute disease at the time of enrollment (acute disease being defined as the presence of a moderate or severe illness with or without fever) resulting in a temporary exclusion.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a phase IV, single-center, observer-blind, randomized, controlled vaccine trial in 2 to 10 years old healthy subjects. Each participant will receive a single intramuscular injection of one of the two vaccines either MPV ACYW® vaccine or Menactra ® vaccine according to the vaccine group assignment and will be followed up for one month for immunogenicity evaluation and for 6 months for safety evaluation. Statistical Hypothesis: H0: Seroconversion rate of test group is inferior to that of control group HA: Seroconversion rate of test group is non-inferior to that of control group Sample size calculation: the sample size was calculated based on non-inferiority test with alpha level of 0.025 and 80% power, assuming seroconversion rate in control group was 95% with non-inferiority margin at 10%. The sample size required for the study is 124 per arm. After adjusting for 5% drop-out, the final sample size required is 130 per arm.

Interventional Study Model
Parallel Assignment
Model Description
At Day 0, eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into either Walvax MPV ACYW® vaccine group (130 subjects) or Sanofi Pasteur Menactra ® vaccine group (130 subjects). A randomization list containing subject numbers and vaccine group assignments will be provided to the investigator. Each participant will receive a single intramuscular injection of one of the two vaccines either MPV ACYW® vaccine or Menactra ® vaccine according to the vaccine group assignment and will be followed up for one month for immunogenicity evaluation and for 6 months for safety evaluation.
Masking
Investigator
Masking Description
The study will be carried out in an observer blind fashion until database is locked with data collected until Day 30 (Visit 3) after vaccination. The clinical study material, i.e. vaccine packs, will be packaged and encoded according to the randomization list (see Appendix B for example of vaccine labels). At study site, the investigator will assign unblinded designated person(s) responsible for vaccine handling, administration ("Vaccinator") and accountability to ensure that blinding is protected throughout the study procedures and that no other site personnel involved in the conduct of the study has access to the information. After assessment of eligibility of a new subject, the investigator will complete a form that the subject will take to the "vaccinator". The "vaccinator" will administer the vaccine according to the randomization list to the subject without informing neither the subject nor the investigator of the randomization group, i.e. the nature of the vaccine.

Intervention Type
Biological
Intervention Name(s)
Yuxi Walvax MPV ACYW® vaccine
Intervention Description
Walvax MPV ACYW vaccine is a sterile formulation of polysaccharide A,C,Y,W-135. One dose of 0.5 mL contains 50 µg of each A,C,Y,W-135 purified polysaccharide. The vaccine is presented in two vials: one containing the lyophilized cake of A,C,Y,W purified polysaccharides and the other the sterile water for injection as diluent. After reconstitution the one dose of 0.5 mL is ready for subcutaneous injection. The antigen content is similar to other internationally marketed polysaccharide vaccines that have been in use for decades as Menomune® Sanofi and Mencevax® Pfizer , all containing 50 µg of each A,C,Y,W purified polysaccharide that as one dose schedule are recommended for use in subjects > 2 years of age and have shown to be safe and immunogenic.
