A Clinical Trial to Evaluate a Recombinant Hepatitis E Vaccine in Healthy Adults

Hepatitis E is characteristic by sporadic and local epidemic around the world, and mainly infects adults aged 15 to 40 years old, resulting in the infection rate ranged from 1% to 15%. The investigational hepatitis E vaccine is a recombinant aluminium-adjuvant hepatitis E vaccine. This is a single center, randomized, blinding, parallel-controlled phase Ib clinical trial. This study will determine the safety and immunogenicity of the investigational recombinant hepatitis E vaccine in healthy adults between 16 and 65 years.
