A Study on the Safety of an Investigational Chickenpox Vaccine, When Given to Healthy Children, 12 to 15 Months of Age
- Conditions
- Chickenpox
- Interventions
- Biological: Investigational varicella vaccineBiological: Marketed varicella vaccineBiological: Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine
- Registration Number
- NCT06693895
- Lead Sponsor
- GlaxoSmithKline
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess how well-tolerated GSK's investigational varicella vaccine (VNS Vaccine) is, in comparison to an already approved varicella vaccine (VV) known as Varivax. The study will be conducted on healthy children aged 12 to 15 months, and who have neither contracted varicella nor received a varicella vaccination.

-
Up to 180 days prior to study interventions administration: long acting immune modifying drugs including among others immunotherapy (e.g., tumor necrosis factor-inhibitors), monoclonal antibodies (except the ones not interfering with the immune response to the study vaccines, e.g., nirsevimab), antitumoral medication.
-
-
Previous vaccination against measles, mumps, and rubella.
-
Previous vaccination against hepatitis A virus.
-
Previous vaccination against varicella virus.
-
Only for children in countries where PCV is recommended at 12 to 15 months of age as per national immunization schedule and provided as part of the study interventions, participant who previously received a booster dose of any PCV.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of participants reporting each solicited administration site events Day 1 (post-dose) to Day 43 Solicited administration site include injection site varicella-like rash.
Percentage of participants reporting each solicited systemic event Day 1 (post-dose) to Day 15 Solicited systemic events include drowsiness, loss of appetite and irritability.
Percentage of participants reporting each solicited systemic event in terms of fever Day 1 (post-dose) to Day 22 Fever is defined as temperature greater than or equal to (\>=) 38.0°C (100.4°F) by any route (the preferred location for measuring temperature is the axilla).
Percentage of participants reporting solicited systemic events Day 1 (post-dose) to Day 43 Solicited systemic events includes varicella-like rash (non-injection site), and general rash (not varicella-like).
Percentage of participants reporting unsolicited adverse events (AEs) Day 1 (post-dose) to Day 43 An unsolicited AE is an AE that was either not included in the list of solicited events or could be included in the list of solicited events but with an onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited events.
Percentage of participants reporting medically attended AEs (MAAE) Day 1 (post-dose) to Day 181 (study end) A MAAE is an AE for which the participant received medical attention including any symptom or illness requiring hospitalization, or an emergency room visit, or visit to/by a healthcare professional.
Percentage of participants reporting serious adverse events (SAEs) Day 1 (post-dose) to Day 181 (study end) A SAE is an AE which results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or other situations that are considered serious per medical or scientific judgment.
