Who cannot join

  • Any clinically significant condition that may influence participation in this study, including febrile convulsions.
  • Severe malnutrition as assessed by the investigator by weight for age and clinical criteria.

About this study

Official title: Partially Randomized, Controlled Phase II Study to Evaluate Safety, Dose Response and Immunogenicity of the Measles Vaccine MVA mBN85B in Healthy Children Aged 6 Months to 6 Years

Partially randomized, controlled Phase II study to evaluate safety, immunogenicity and dose response of the measles vaccine MVA mBN85B in healthy children aged 6 months to 6 years.

Read the detailed description

Open label study to assess the safety and immunogenicity of MVA-mBN85B in healthy vaccine-naive, measles-naive and measles-experienced children. The study is comprised of three groups with 30 children each. Two groups will receive two subcutaneous (s.c.) immunizations 4 weeks (28±3 days) apart of either either 1 x 10E7 TCID50 (Group A) or 1 x 10E8 TCID50 (Group B) MVA mBN85B. The control group (Group C) will receive two s.c. doses (0.5 ml, 1000 TCID50) of Rouvax® (Sanofi-Pasteur) 24 weeks apart.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MVA-mBN85B and Rouvax in people with Measles, run by Bavarian Nordic at 1 site in South Africa.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Africa. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jul 2012.
