Clinical Trial Summary

The research objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the recombinant Group B meningococcal vaccine (E. coli) and explore its preliminary immunogenicity.

Description:

This is a Phase I, single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted in Guangxi Province, China. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the recombinant Group B meningococcal vaccine (E. coli) and explore its preliminary immunogenicity. Expected to include 300 subjects, divide them into 5 age groups of 18-50 years old, 6-17 years old, 2-5 years old, 6-23 months old, and 3-5 months old, and 2 dose groups, a total of 10 groups, with 30 people in each group. The experimental group and placebo control group are 20 people and 10 people, respectively.
