Abstract

Purpose : This multi-center, open-label, clinical study was designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a trivalent, live, attenuated measles-mumps-rubella(MMR) vaccine, $Priorix^{TM}$ in Korean children. Methods : From July 2002 to February 2003, a total of 252 children, aged 12-15 months or 4-6 years, received $Priorix^{TM}$ at four centers : Han-il General Hospital, Kyunghee University Hospital, St. Paul's Hospital at the Catholic Medical College in Seoul, and Korea University Hospital in Ansan, Korea. Only subjects who fully met protocol requirements were included in the final analysis. The occurrence of local and systemic adverse events after vaccination was evaluated from diary cards and physical examination for 42 days after vaccination. Serum antibody levels were measured prior to and 42 days post-vaccination using IgG ELISA assays at GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals (GSK) in Belgium. Results : Of the 252 enrolled subjects, a total of 199 were included in the safety analysis, including 103 from the 12-15 month age group and 96 from the 4-6 year age group. The occurrence of local reactions related to the study drug was 10.1 percent, and the occurrence of systemic reactions was 6.5 percent. There were no episodes of aseptic meningitis or febrile convulsions, nor any other serious adverse reaction. In immunogenicity analysis, the seroconversion rate of previously seronegative subjects was 99 percent for measles, 93 percent for mumps and 100 percent for rubella. Both age groups showed similar seroconversion rates. The geometric mean titers achieved, 42 days pos-tvaccination, were : For measles, in the age group 12-15 months, 3,838.6 mIU/mL [3,304.47, 4,458.91]; in the age group 4-6 years, 1,886.2 mIU/mL [825.83, 4,308.26]. For mumps, in the age group 12-15 months, 956.3 U/mL [821.81, 1,112.71]; in the age group 4-6 years, 2,473.8 U/mL [1,518.94, 4,028.92]. For rubella, in the age group 12-15 months, 94.5 IU/mL [79.56, 112.28]; in the age group 4-6 years, 168.9 IU/mL [108.96, 261.90]. Conclusion : When Korean children in the age groups of 12-15 months or 4-6 years were vaccinated with GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' live attenuated MMR vaccine ($Priorix^{TM}$), adverse events were limited to those generally expected with any live vaccine. $Priorix^{TM}$ demonstrated excellent immunogenicity in this population.

목 적 : 본 연구는 한국인 소아를 대상으로 MMR 약독화 생백신인 프리오릭스주를 단독 접종한 후 공개, 다 기관, 비비교 시험으로 프리오릭스주의 안전성과 면역성 평가를 목적으로 수행되었다. 방 법 : 2002년 7월부터 2003년 2월까지 한일병원, 경희대학교 부속병원, 가톨릭대학교 성바오로병원, 고려대의과대학부속 안산병원 등 4개의 병원에 예방 접종을 위해 내원한 12-15개월 또는 4-6세의 건강한 남녀 소아 252명을 대상으로 하였으며, 이중에서 임상시험계획서의 모든 기준을 충족하는 피험자를 최종 분석대상군에 포함시켰다. 접종 후 이상 반응 및 중대한 이상 반응에 대하여 42일간의 추적관찰을 통하여 증례기록서의 이상 반응란에 기록하였다. 각 피험자들은 시험백신 투여 직전과 투여 후 42일 후 혈액검체를 채취하여 벨기에 GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals 실험실에서 면역분석법을 통하여 항체가를 측정하였다. 결 과 : 등록된 피험자 총 252명 중 최종적으로 12-15개월군에서 103명, 4-6세군에서 96명으로 총 199명이 분석대상으로 선정되었다. 본 임상시험 기간 동안 발생한 이상반응 중 시험약물과 관련 있는 국소 반응은 10.1% 전신 반응은 6.5%에 불과하였으며, 우려하였던 이상 반응, 예를 들면 무균성 뇌막염, 열성 경련 등은 발생하지 않았으며, 시험백신과 관련된 중대한 이상 반응은 없었다. 유효성 분석에서, 항체 음성인 피험자들의 혈청전환율은 홍역인 경우 99%, 유행성 이하선염인 경우 93%, 풍진인 경우 100%이었다. 시험백신 투여 전 항체 음성인 피험자군의 혈청전환시 항체가의 기하평균은, 홍역의 경우 12-15개월에 속하는 피험자군에서는 $383{\pm}8.6mIU/mL$, 4-6세에 속하는 피험자군에서는 $188{\pm}6.2mIU/mL$, 유행성 이하선염의 경우 12-15개월에 속하는 피험자군에서는 $95{\pm}6.3U/mL$, 4-6세에 속하는 피험자군에서는 $247{\pm}3.8U/mL$, 풍진의 경우 12-15개월에 속하는 피험자군에서는 $94.5IU/m{\pm}$, 4-6세에 속하는 피험자군에서는 $16{\pm}8.9IU/mL$을 보였다. 결 론 : 12-15개월 또는 4-6세의 건강한 소아를 대상으로 프리오릭스주를 접종하였을 때, 이와 관련된 이상 반응은 대부분의 백신 접종 후 나타날 수 있는 일반 반응에 한정된 것으로 나타나 한국인 소아에게서도 안전하게 사용될 수 있으며 또한 매우 높은 항체양전율 및 항체가의 기하평균치를 보여 우수한 면역효과를 기대할 수 있는 백신으로 사료된다.
