Clinical study to compare the immune response and safety of Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine manufactured by Cadila Healthcare Ltd. with MMR vaccine manufactured by Serum Institute of India Ltd. in children 15-18 months of age

Phase 3

Completed

Conditions: Active immunization for the prevention of disease caused by Measles, Mumps and Rubella virus
Encounter for immunization,

Brief Summary: This is a randomized, single blind, parallel group, multicentre, non-inferiority phase III clinical trial to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of single-dose and multi-dose vials of MMR vaccine (Live) (Freeze-dried) of M/s Cadila Healthcare Limited compared to MMR vaccine (Live) (Freeze-dried) of M/s Serum Institute of India Limited in healthy paediatric subjects aged 15-18 months. Three hundred and twenty seven subjects will be randomized to receive either MMR vaccine (Live) (Freeze-dried) of M/s Cadila Healthcare Limited (single-dose or multi-dose vial) or MMR vaccine (Live) (Freeze-dried) of Serum Institute of India Limited according to the centralized computer generated randomization plan. A pre vaccination and a post vaccination (day 42) blood sample will be collected to determine antibody titres attained after vaccination using ELISA kit manufactured by IBL International GMBH Germany. A titre >300 Milli International Unit (mIU)/ml for measles, >12 Units (U)/ml for mumps and >12 International Units (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 for measles, mumps and rubella 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.xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /
