Clinical Trial of Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccine (Hansenula Polymorpha, 10μg)

This is a phase Ⅰ clinical trial of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (Hansenula polymorpha,10μg) with an open-labelled design in adults and randomized, double-blinded, and positive controlled design in children and neonates. The control vaccine was the commercialized recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (Hansenula polymorpha,10μg) manufactured by Dalian Hissen Bio-pharm Lnc. Twenty four adults aged from 18 to 49 years will be vaccinated with one dose of investigational vaccine. Sixty children aged from 1 to 15 years will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive one dose of in investigational vaccine or control vaccine. Sixty neonates will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive three doses of investigational vaccine or control vaccine on the schedule of month 0,1,2. Safety profiles 30 days after each dose will be assessed based on all the participants, and immunogenicity will be assessed based on the enrolled chidren and neonates.
