Safety of human papilloma virus vaccine based on Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System from 2006 to 2021 / 中国生物制品学杂志

@#Objective To investigate the characteristics of distribution of adverse event(AE)associated with human papillomavirus(HPV)vaccine by analysis of data on AE collected from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System(VAERS).Methods The data on AE reported in VAERS from January 1st,2006 to December 31st,2021 were analyzed and compared by using Pearson Chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U test.Results A total of 53 571 cases of AE were included in the study,in which the ratio of male to female was 0. 25∶1,and the median age of vaccinees was 15 years. A portion of 36. 1%of AE occurred after the first dose,while 90. 7% occurred within 3 d after vaccination. Both the gender ratios(χ~2=72. 570,P < 0. 001) and the median ages(Z = 4. 255,P < 0. 001)of vaccinees in non-serious and serious adverse event(SAE)showed significant difference. In terms of classification of SAE,hospitalization,prolonged hospitalization and disability were more common in females than in males,of which the percentages decreased with the increasing age. Among the AE,syncope was the most common clinical symptom. In the SAE,the highest proportion of deaths was caused by HPV2 vaccine,which was 19. 0%. The proportion of prolonged hospitalization caused by HPV4 vaccine was higher than that by HPV9vaccine. In general,HPV4 vaccine was more prone to cause SAE than HPV9 vaccine(χ~2=183. 267,P < 0. 001).Conclusion In all the AE,the largest proportion occurred in the age group of 9 ～ 17 years,followed by those in the groups of 18 ～ 26 and 27 ～ 45 years. Most of the AE occurred after the first dose. The clinical symptoms of AE caused by three vaccines were different. The analysis of distribution characteristics of AE may provide a reference for the study on clinical safety of HPV vaccine and optimization of vaccination.

Repeated Administration of Newly Synthesized Aceclofenac Sustained Release Form Causes Agranulocytosis: Case Report of an Unforeseen Adverse Event during the Phase 1 Trial

Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) for inflammatory diseases. In this report, we report a serious adverse event (AE) occurred during the phase I clinical trial for a new sustained-release (SR) formulation of aceclofenac. There was a serious adverse event (AE), agranulocytosis, induced by aceclofenac SR form. An open-labeled, repeated-doses, randomized, crossover study was conducted at Kyung Hee University Hospital and 26 Korean healthy male volunteers were enrolled. All subjects received both aceclofenac SR 200 mg once daily and aceclofenac IR 100 mg twice daily for 4 days with 11 days washout period. After 11 days washout period, one subject showed a serious decrease in the segment neutrophil (267/mm3) on a laboratory test prior to the reference drug administration in period 2. We first report a case of agranulocytosis, during a phase I clinical trial.

A Study on Management and Report of Adverse Event in Clinical Trials

BACKGROUND: This research is to identify the difficulties occuring in the course of managing the adverse events and the adverse event related standard operating procedure in the regulation of each institutional review board. METHODS: In order to identify the issues of the management of adverse events of each institution, this research surveyed the IRB administrators in fifty two university hospitals nation-wide. This survey is conducted among one chairman and one IRB member from the IRB members per each IRB who have experience in reviewing adverse events. The survey also includes investigators and sponsors who engage in reporting adverse events. RESULTS: The result of this survey demonstrates that the objects and the terms of adverse event reports provided by the Standard Operating Procedure and the KGCP of each institution are not very different from each other. However, according to the survey, any cases reported to the IRBs, although they are not specified as the object of reports in the institution, have been reviewed by the IRB members. To sum up the results of the survey, the major issues include ambiguous regulations on adverse event reports and reviews, the use of different report formats for each institution, and the difficulty with evaluating the causal relationship with Investigational Product. CONCLUSION: It is necessary to develop concrete and specified guidelines on the objects and the terms of reports, the standard for the causal relationship and the adequate measures for adverse events after review and to standardize the format of adverse event reporting.
