About this study

This study is undertaken to generate clinical data on GSK Biologicals' combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine manufactured with measles and rubella obtained from newly established working seed viruses which are one passage further than the current working seed viruses. The measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine manufactured with the current working seed viruses will serve as comparator.

A seed lot system is a system according to which successive batches of a vaccine are derived from the same master seed virus. For routine production, a working seed lot is prepared from the master seed virus.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Subjects Seroconverted for Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella Antibodies Greater Than or Equal to (≥) the Cut-off Value.

    Seroconversion was defined as the appearance of antibodies in the serum of subjects seronegative before vaccination. The cut-off values for seroconversion was 150 milli international units per milliliter (mIU/mL), 231 units per milliliter (U/mL), 4 international units per milliliter (IU/mL) and 1:4 dilution for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella, respectively.

    Measured: At 42-56 days after the first dose of study vaccine (Week 6)

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Number of Subjects Seroconverted for Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella Antibodies ≥ the Cut-off Value.

    Seroconversion was defined as the appearance of antibodies in the serum of subjects seronegative before vaccination. The cut-off values for seroconversion was 150 mIU/mL, 231 U/mL, 4 IU/mL and 1:4 dilution for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella, respectively.

    Measured: At 42-56 days after the second dose of study vaccine (Week 18)

  2. Antibody Titers Against Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella Viruses

    Antibody titers were summarized by geometric mean titers (GMTs) with their 95% confidence intervals.

    Measured: At 42-56 days after the first and second dose of study vaccine(s).

  3. Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms

    Assessed solicited local symptoms were pain, redness and swelling. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 pain = cried when limb was moved/ spontaneously painful. Grade 3 redness/ swelling = redness/ swelling spreading beyond 20 millimeters (mm) of injection site.

    Measured: Within 4 days after each vaccination (Days 0-3)

  4. Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited General Symptoms

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were meningism and parotid gland swelling. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 meningism and parotid gland swelling = meningism/ parotid gland swelling which prevented normal everyday activities.

    Measured: Within 43 days (Days 0-42) after each vaccination

  5. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Fever

    Any fever was defined as fever greater than or equal to (≥) 38.0 Celsius degrees (°C) and grade 3 fever greater than (>) 39.5°C after vaccination. Related fever was defined as fever assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Measured: Within 43 days (Days 0-42) after each vaccination

  6. Number of Subjects Reporting Any (Local or General), Grade 3 and Related Rashes

    Rash was defined as: 1) measles/ rubella rashes (macular or maculo-papular rashes): presence of macules, discolored small patches or spots of the skin, neither elevated nor depressed below the skin's surface; 2) varicella rash (maculo-papulo-vesicular): simultaneous presence of macules, papules and vesicles raised above the skin's surface; 3) other types of rash (heat rash, diaper rash etc.). Any rash = occurrence of rash regardless of intensity grade or relationship to vaccination Grade 3 rash ≥ 150 lesions and Related = rash assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Measured: Within 43 days (Days 0-42) after each vaccination

  7. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Unsolicited Adverse Event (AEs)

    An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Any was defined as an adverse event (AE) reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study. Also any 'solicited' symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms was reported as an unsolicited adverse event. Grade 3 was defined as an event that prevented normal activity and Related was defined as an event assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: Within 43 days (Days 0-42) after first vaccination dose

  8. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Unsolicited Adverse Event (AEs)

    An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Any was defined as an adverse event (AE) reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study. Also any 'solicited' symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms was reported as an unsolicited adverse event. Grade 3 was defined as an event that prevented normal activity and Related was defined as an event assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: Within 43 days (Days 86-128) after second vaccination dose

  9. Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed included medical occurrences that resulted in death, were life threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in disability/ incapacity or is a congenital anomaly/ birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.

    Measured: From first study dose (Day 0) until study end (Week 18)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Priorix-Tetra (combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine) and GSK Biologicals' 208136, new formulation in people with Measles and Varicella, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 18 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 15 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Singapore, Taiwan. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Oct 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Subjects Seroconverted for Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella Antibodies Greater Than or Equal to (≥) the Cut-off Value. (time frame: At 42-56 days after the first dose of study vaccine (Week 6)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00892775, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Nov 2019.
