A phase IV, open, randomized, controlled study to demonstrate the non-inferiority of co-administration of GSK Biologicals’ live attenuated measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine and Baxter’s Neisseria meningitidis C conjugate vaccine versus separate administration of each of the vaccines in healthy children aged 12 through 23 months. - MMRV-060
- Conditions
- Active immunization of healthy children during their second year of life against measles, mumps, rubella, varicella and Neisseria meningitidis C diseases

Subjects who the investigator believes that their parents/guardians can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol (e.g. completion of the diary cards, return for follow-up visits) should be enrolled in the study.
A male or female child between, and including, 12 and 23 months of age (including the day before the 24-month birthday) at the time of vaccination.
Written informed consent obtained from the parents or guardians of the subject after they have been advised of the risks and benefits of the study in a language they clearly understand, and before performance of any study procedure.
Free of obvious health problems as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.
Previously completed routine childhood vaccinations to the best of parents’ or legal guardians’ knowledge.
Are the trial subjects under 18? yes
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) no
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine(s) within six weeks preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period.
Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the first vaccine dose. (For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone, or equivalent, greater than or equal to 0.5 mg/kg/day. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.)
Planned administration/ administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol within six weeks prior until six weeks after the study vaccine dose with the exception of oral polio vaccine (OPV) which can be given at any time; routine inactivated vaccines, except those containing diphtheria or tetanus toxoid, can be administered up to two weeks before the study vaccine dose.
Previous vaccination against measles, mumps, rubella, varicella and/or Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C.
History of measles, mumps, rubella, varicella and/or Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C diseases.
Known exposure to measles, mumps, rubella and/or varicella within 30 days prior to the study start.
Any confirmed or suspect immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition (congenital or secondary), including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, based on medical history and physical examination (no laboratory testing is required).
A family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine(s), including systemic hypersensitivity to neomycin.
Major congenital defects or serious chronic illness.
Acute disease at the time of enrolment. (Acute disease is defined as the presence of a moderate or severe illness with or without fever. All vaccines can be administered to persons with a minor illness such as diarrhea, mild upper respiratory infection with or without low-grade fever, i.e., Axillary temperature <37.5°C (99.5°F) / Rectal temperature <38°C (100.4°F).
Axillary temperature greater than or equal to 37.5°C (99.5°F) / Rectal temperature greater than or equal to 38.0°C (100.4°F).
Residence in the same household as a high risk person e.g. newborn infant (0-4 weeks of age), pregnant women who have a negative history for chickenpox, persons with known immunodeficiency.
