Details and patient eligibility

About

Cohort 1 was a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial with a planned enrollment of 500 patients. Cohort 2 is a non-randomized, open-label clinical trial with a planned enrollment of approximately 60000 patients. Cohort I was injected with EC and TB-PPD in both arms, and cohort II was injected with EC only

Full description

Assessment of effectiveness:

In cohort 1, the injection site reaction was examined at 0min, 24h, 48h and 72h after skin test, and the transverse and longitudinal diameters of the erythema and induration were measured and recorded in millimeters (mm), the larger the erythema or induration. Any blisters, necrosis, lymphangitis should be faithfully recorded.

In cohort 2, the injection site reaction was examined at 0min and 48-72 h after skin test, and the transverse and longitudinal diameters of the erythema and induration were measured and recorded in millimeters (mm), the larger the erythema or induration. Any blisters, necrosis, lymphangitis should be faithfully recorded.

Safety assessments:

The safety assessment included all expected and unexpected medical events that occurred during the observation period of the clinical trial (within 72 hours after the skin test) and were related or unrelated to the injection of the investigational drug. These included specific reactions such as redness, induration, blister, necrosis, and lymphangitis at the injection site (palmar forearm). Common and occasional adverse reactions include:

Local adverse reactions: injection site pruritus, injection site pain, injection site rash;

Systemic adverse reactions included fever, headache, nausea, fatigue, myalgia, diarrhea, vomiting, paresthesia.

Enrollment: 7,500 patients

7,500 participants in 2 patient groups

Cohort 1

Experimental group

Description:

Recombinant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Fusion Protein (EC): Dosage form: injection. Main ingredients and contents: Recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein, 0.3ml, 0.5ml, 1.0ml per bottle. 1. This product is used alone: 0.1ml (5U) of this product is inhaled and injected into the palmar skin of the forearm by the Mondu's method. 2. This product combined with TB-PPD: 0.1ml(5U) of this product and 0.1ml(5U) of TB-PPD were inhaled respectively, and the product was injected intradermally into the volar side of the left forearm by the Mondu's method. After observing no abnormality for 5 minutes, TB-PPD was injected intradermally into the volar side of the right forearm. Purified protein derivative (TB-PPD) : Dosage form: Injection. Main components and contents: Purified protein derivative of tuberculin 50IU/ml. 0.1ml (5U) of the product was inhaled and injected into the palmar skin of the forearm by the Mondu's method.
