Clinical study to compare the immune response and safety of vaccine for prevention of Measles and Rubella diseases (MR vaccine) manufactured by Cadila Healthcare Ltd. with MR vaccine manufactured by Serum Institute of India Ltd. in children 9-12 months of age

Phase 2/3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Encounter for immunization,
Active immunization for the prevention of disease caused by Measles and Rubella viruses
Registration Number
CTRI/2017/05/008701
Lead Sponsor
Cadila Healthcare Ltd
Brief Summary

This is a randomized, single blind, parallel group, multicentre, non-inferiority phase II / III clinical trial to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of single-dose and multi-dose formulations of  Measles & Rubella vaccine (Live) I.P. (Freeze Dried) of M/s Cadila Healthcare Limited compared to Measles and Rubella vaccine (Live) I.P. (Freeze Dried) of M/s Serum Institute of India Limited in healthy paediatric subjects aged 9-12 months. Six hundred and fifteen subjects will be randomized to receive either MR vaccine (Live) (Freeze-dried) of M/s Cadila Healthcare Limited (single-dose or multi-dose formulation ) or MR vaccine (Live) (Freeze-dried) of Serum Institute of India Limited according to the centralized computer generated randomization plan and will be followed up for 6 months. A pre vaccination and a post vaccination (week 6) blood sample will be collected to determine antibody titres attained after vaccination using ELISA kit manufactured by IBL International GMBH Germany. A titre >200 Milli International Unit (mIU)/ml for measles and > 8 IU/ml for rubella will be considered as sero-positive. The primary efficacy end point will be the proportion of subjects who are sero-positive at the end of study in the two groups. The safety of the vaccine will be assessed by recording the adverse events occurring during the entire course of the study (6 months)
