A woman volunteer gets a dose of HIV/AIDS vaccine in Nanning, Guangxi
Zhuang Autonomous Region on March 12, 2005.
June 12 - Chinese researchers say they have obtained satisfactory results
through preliminary clinical testing of the safety of an AIDS vaccine
developed by China.
The test concluded as the last 15 people of the 49 volunteers who were
injected 15 months ago with the AIDS vaccine, China's first, on Sunday
passed health checkups at Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Regional Center of
Diseases Control.
"Currently, data based on clinical observations have shown everything is
normal and we are confident that the AIDS vaccine issafe," said Chen Jie,
deputy head of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Regional CDC.
A panel of experts will make a further assessment into the experimental
outcome and decide whether to carry out the second phase of the AIDS
vaccine test, Chen said.
The assessment will cover the dose and safety of the AIDS vaccine,
immunization procedures and whether the safety of the experiment accords
with the targets for clinical research set by the state, Chen said.
The Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Food and Drug
Administration will decide whether to go ahead with the second phase of
the test based on the assessment outcome.
The first phase of the test was launched in Nanning, capital ofGuangxi,
on March 12 last year, and the 49 volunteers, all Chinese and aged
between 18 and 50, had received vaccine rejection by October 20 last year.
They were divided into eight groups. Six groups received a single AIDS
vaccine and two other groups were injected with a combined AIDS vaccine.
If the test enters the second phase, more volunteers will be recruited
from larger groups, especially from the high-risk groups,Chen said.
The State Food and Drug Administration approved the first clinical phase
research of the new AIDS vaccine on Nov. 25, 2004.
China currently has approximately 650,000 HIV carriers, including
approximately 75,000 AIDS patients, according to recent official
estimates.
