《柳叶刀》评论 | COVID-19 疫苗试验应寻求有价值的效力
《柳叶刀》(The Lancet)8月27日发表来自WHO疫苗团结试验专家团队的评论,全球需要对多种COVID-19候选疫苗进行有效、快速和可靠的评估。与针对许多不同疫苗中的每一种进行单独试验相比,具有共同对照组的全球多疫苗试验可以提供更迅速、更可靠的结果。比较COVID-19疫苗和安慰剂的初步试验不仅应为疫苗效力,更应为有价值的疫苗效力寻求可靠的证据。
对于可将风险减半的一剂或两剂式疫苗,其短期功效的主要结果应在3-6个月内出现,除非在中期分析中得到了某种高效疫苗的确切结果。此外,以安慰剂为对照的随访至少应持续12个月,或者直到当地部署了某种有效的疫苗为止。关于该疫苗对年轻人群和老年人群的适用性、保护的持续时间、预防重度疾病的效果以及会否出现任何疾病增强效应,这种方法提供了更可靠的证据。 资金提供方、疫苗研发机构、研究人员和政府机构[11]已经签署了一项疫苗研究的国际合作声明。其中几个研发机构和超过250个研究站点计划加入WHO疫苗团结试验,希望能尽早结束全球COVID-19大流行所造成的大规模疾病、死亡和破坏。试验成本只是COVID-19社会总成本中的一小部分,而这种全球化合作对于有害的疫苗虚无主义和疫苗民族主义来说可能是一记重锤。END
