Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Communicants referring to index cases will be interviewed. Approximately 846 contacts, with 5% of losses this amount will be 890 contacts (445 vaccinated and 445 not vaccinated). Assuming an average of 20 contacts per index case, we will need approximately 45 index cases.

Who may be able to join

  • Characterize contact with confirmed case of measles at home, waiting room, work, etc.
  • Both sexes.
  • Willingness to answer the study questionnaire.
  • Have had contact with the index case, 6 days before the appearance of the rash, up to 18 days after.
  • Have proof of vaccination (or authorize access to health unit vaccination records) or if you no longer have a vaccination card, state whether you have had a vaccine in the past or not.
  • Willingness to provide name, address, telephone and other information so that the principal investigator and his team can contact you, if necessary (example: in case of missed visit).

  • Willingness to strictly follow the study protocol.
  • At least one of the legal guardians for the research participants must be able to understand and sign the Free and Informed Consent Form. If those responsible are unable to sign (illiterate), the IC can be signed by an impartial witness who has accompanied the entire procedure
  • For those over 6 years old, and under 18 years old, ability to understand and sign the Informed Consent Form.
  • For those over 18, ability to understand and sign the Informed Consent Form.

Who cannot join

  • Contact with the index case outside the contagion period, that is, after 18 days.
  • Inform that you do not know the vaccination status.

About this study

This study will be an epidemiological inquiry, in communicating confirmed measles cases. The contacts of the index cases will be asked about the measles diagnosis and previous measles vaccination, and will have their vaccination cards checked. They will also be asked about blocking vaccination (opportune or not opportune) and about the development or not of symptoms. Thus, the investigators will have a group of people exposed to infection with a history of vaccination for measles prior to the outbreak versus a group of people exposed without previous vaccination. The frequency of measles cases will be compared in those two groups, allowing to analyze the effectiveness of the vaccine for individual protection. The effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing the spread of the disease will be analyzed, comparing the relative risk of the vaccine history of contact, in the subgroups of index cases with and without previous measles vaccination.

The proposed study will involve the collection and analysis of contact data from measles cases oriented to compare vaccinated and unvaccinated, differing from health surveillance actions. This is based on an exhaustive search for contacts of measles cases, preferably aimed at detecting susceptible individuals, with the purpose of implementing blocking vaccination and interrupting the transmission chain.

The proposed study seeks a representation of contacts, without the intention of being exhaustive in the search and detection, but prioritizing selection without bias for one of the exposure groups (vaccination).

The results may provide technical and scientific support for future decisions by the Ministry of Health regarding the primary immunization schedule, the priority of the age group in vaccination campaigns, the identification of susceptible individuals, and the assessment of the need for a 3rd dose of the vaccine, for measles.

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective cohort study in which measles case contacts will be categorized according to their vaccination history and the secondary attack rate will be compared in vaccinated and non-vaccinated nodes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Measles, run by The Immunobiological Technology Institute (Bio-Manguinhos) / Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) at 1 site in Brazil.

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 10 inclusion and 2 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 13 Jun 2023. 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 Brazil. 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.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measles case after index case (time frame: 18 days after the index case). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 13 Jun 2023.
