MMR and MMRV Vaccines: Effect of Age at First Dose on Safety and Immunogenicity of the Measles Component.

Conditions
Measles
Interventions
Biological: MMR vaccine / MMRV vaccine
Registration Number
NCT02712203
Lead Sponsor
CHU de Quebec-Universite Laval
Brief Summary

Healthy children who received two doses of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' live attenuated measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) or measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine (MMRV) in their second year of life.The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of the age at administration of the first dose on the reactogenicity and immunogenicity of the measles component of these vaccines.

In addition, this study will evaluate if the effect of the age at first dose is modified by the type of vaccine administered.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Short term seropositivity rates & anti-measles antibody titers after vaccination with MMR or MMRVAt day 42 after administration of a dose of MMR or MMRV vaccine

Antibody titers are expressed as Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMC) in mIU/mL. The cut-off for seropositivity is anti-measles antibody titer ≥ 150 mIU/mL (performed on seronegative subjects prior to vaccination).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Injection site reactionDays 0-3 after vaccination

Injection site reaction is defined by the presence of pain, redness and swelling

Long term seropositivity rates and anti-measles antibody titers after vaccination with MMR or MMRV2 and 3 years after vaccination with 2 doses of MMR or MMRV vaccines

Antibody titers are expressed as Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMC) in mIU/mL The cut-off for seropositivity is anti-measles antibody titer ≥ 150 mIU/mL

Systemic symptomsDays 0 - 42 after administration of a dose of MMR or MMRV vaccine

Will include fever (defined as rectal temperature ≥38°C), general malaise and measles-like rash
