Active clinical trials for "Measles"

As measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination is established as routine childhood practice in most industrialised countries and varicella vaccination is now being introduced in many countries during the second year of life, a combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine was developed for administration convenience and improved compliance to vaccination. To account for situations where children have received a first dose of MMR vaccine without varicella, this study will evaluate the effect of the combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine given in place of the second dose of MMR vaccine. A second dose of the monovalent varicella vaccine will be given to all children participating to this trial since there is a current debate on the need of a second dose to induce a full protection against varicella.

Few data exist on long-term persistence of measles antibodies after vaccination of West African infants. The data that do exist indicate that the antibody titres decline very rapidly. Our data would be the first to describe the persistence of measles antibodies after two doses of measles vaccine, and the study would allow us to identify unprotected children and offer them revaccination. Since persistence of measles antibodies is of crucial importance to measles control, the study will contribute significantly to the existing knowledge and might have important implications for future eradication programmes.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of GSK's trivalent MMR (Priorix®), comparing it to Merck"s MMR vaccine (M-M-R®II), which is approved for use in the US.

The purpose of this study is to support licensure of GSK Biologicals' MMR vaccine (Priorix®) in the US by generating immunogenicity and safety data in contrast to the US standard of care, Merck's MMR vaccine (M-M-R®II), when given as a second dose to children four to six years of age.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' trivalent MMR (Priorix), comparing it to Merck's MMR vaccine (M-M-R II), which is approved for use in the US in healthy children 12 to 15 months of age.

In order to assess the safety of breastfed infants after their mother's postpartum immunization with a combined measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether measles vaccine strain is excreted in breast milk of breastfeeding women with negative rubella and measles serologies.

to assess safety and immunogenicity of measles-rubella (MR) routine immunization in Indonesian Children and Infants

Japanese encephalitis (JE) is the leading cause of viral neurological disease and disability in Asia. A live attenuated vaccine (LJEV) manufactured in China has several advantages over other JE vaccines such as one dose schedule, using for infants, and the cheaper cost. Because the LJEV has been prequalified by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2013, it will likely be used in other countries, and possibly co-administered with the first dose of measles-containing vaccine (MCV) to ensure early protection and reduce additional vaccination visits. The evidence for immunogenicity and safety of co-administration of LJEV with MCV is limited. Only one study conducted in the Philippines examining the co-administration of MCV with LJEV among 9 months infants, the results showed the proportion of achieved sero-protection against measles following MCV (96%) was slightly lower than in the MCV-only group (100%), and the measles antibody titres were also slightly lower in the co-administration group. Due to limited evidence available, the WHO position paper of measles vaccines has encouraged further investigation on the possible impact of co-administration of LJEV on measles vaccine effectiveness. In China, Measles-Rubella combined vaccine (MR) and LJEV is given at 8 months of age nationally. Considering China is reaching towards the goal of measles elimination, it will be important to conduct a study to compare the immunogenicity of MR administered alone or with LJEV, and also evaluate the safety and tolerability of LJEV administered with MR among 8 months infants. This study is a prospective, randomized, open-label, multi-center study enrolling infants aged 8 months. Basic demographic information of the infant will be taken and blood samples will be collected at enrollment (baseline) and at 6weeks following administration of MR, the measles antibodies will be measured, and compare seroconversion rates to assess for non-inferiority. All infants will be monitored for adverse events after MR.

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.

Primary Objective: To demonstrate that ProQuad® can be administered concomitantly with a booster dose of Infanrix® hexa to healthy children 12 to 23 months of age without impairing either the antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b; or to the 3 pertussis antibody titres measured at 42 days following vaccination. Secondary Objectives: To describe the antibody titres and the antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenzae type b as measured at 42 days following vaccination by an Infanrix® hexa primary series schedule and all data are pooled. To evaluate the safety profile of ProQuad® when administered concomitantly with a booster dose of Infanrix® hexa by an Infanrix® hexa primary series schedule and all data are pooled.
