Active clinical trials for "Mumps"

This study will compare the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccine made with an alternative manufacturing process with those of the 2006 process

The purpose of this study is to assess non-inferiority of two different vaccination regimens using GSK Biological's MMRV vaccine (two doses at 9 and 15 months) or Priorix™ (9 months) and one dose of MMRV vaccine (15 months) to the current standard of care which is Priorix™ administered at 9 months of age followed by concomitant administration of Priorix™ with Varilrix™ at 15 months of age in a measles endemic environment such as India.

This is a study to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals combined measles-mumps-rubella varicella candidate vaccine given to healthy children in their second year of life.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate end of shelf-life potency in terms of the immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' trivalent MMR vaccine, by comparing it to Merck & Co., Inc.'s MMR vaccine, which is approved for use in the United States (US).

Mumps is an acute infectious respiratory disease caused by the mumps virus (MuV), which occurs mainly in children and adolescents. Its main clinical symptoms were parotid gland suppurative swelling and pain with fever. The pathological changes and harm caused by mumps was not only confined to the parotid gland, on the contrary, the social harm caused by serious complications cannot be ignored. As mumps is a vaccine-preventable infectious disease, vaccination is a fundamental strategy for controlling mumps. So far, there are 13 genotypes of MuV. Based on the analysis of molecular epidemiology, the main epidemic strain of MuV in China was the F genotype. The commonly used vaccine strains represented only a small number of known genotypes, e.g. Jeryl-Lynn (JL) and Rubini strains, which belong to type A, Urabe strain belongs to type B, and L-Zagreb strains belongs to type D. Virus seed of Live Attenuated Mumps Vaccine (Human diploid cell) developed by the institute was SP-A strain, which was the first separation and preparation of the attenuated mumps viruses in China. SP-A belongs to F genotype, which was the domestic epidemic genotype. In addition, the cell substrate prepared for vaccine was human diploid cell (KMB-17 strain), which is much safer to use. The preliminary test results showed that the vaccine possessed good immunogenicity and good antigenic cross-reactivity. The application of this vaccine will provide more effective means to prevent and control of mumps epidemic.

This Phase 3b study is being conducted for the purpose of registration of the GSK208136 vaccine in Korea.

Since measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) and varicella vaccinations are established as routine childhood practice and often co-administered during the second year of life, a combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MeMuRu-OKA) vaccine is fully justified. Such a combined vaccine was developed and extensively studied in susceptible children. In countries where varicella mass-vaccination is already implemented, a transition period is necessary as children who started with separate first-dose vaccinations of MMR and varicella will receive a single shot of the combined vaccine as the second dose. To account for those situations, this study will evaluate the effect of the combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine given in place of separate MMR and varicella vaccines as a second dose.

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.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a live attenuated mumps vaccine in healthy infants between 8 - 18 months old with a commercialized live attenuated mumps vaccine as the control vaccine.

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.
