Filter by:Healthy children who received two doses of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' live attenuated measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) or measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine (MMRV) in their second year of life.The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of the age at administration of the first dose on the reactogenicity and immunogenicity of the measles component of these vaccines. In addition, this study will evaluate if the effect of the age at first dose is modified by the type of vaccine administered.
The question that this project seeks to answer, is whether mobile phones can be used to increase the measles vaccination coverage and timeliness in Guinea-Bissau. The intervention will be evaluated in terms of direct health outcomes and cost/benefit analysis, generating evidence that could help policy makers making informed decisions about implementing mHealth interventions at a national level. The intervention takes the form of a randomized controlled trial in which text messages (SMS) as well as voice calls are scheduled and delivered to mo thers to remind and encourage them to have their children timely vaccinated against measles. In addition, the messages will include relevant information about opening hours and availability of the measles vaccine at the mothers' local health facilities thus improving coordination. The trial will include three different randomization groups with approx. 350 participants in each group. The first group will receive SMS messages, the second group will receive a voice call in addition to the SMS messages, and the third group is a control group that does not receive any intervention. Study participants will be enrolled following birth at one of three health centers in different rural regions of Guinea-Bissau. Before the measles vaccine is scheduled to be given, at 9 months of age, mothers will receive the intervention message depending on their assigned randomization group. When the measles vaccine is administered, the child will be registered as having received the measles vaccination. A follow-up phone interview will be conducted at 12 months of age for all children participating regardless of randomization group and whether or not they received the measles vaccine. All participating children, who at that time still have not received the measles vaccine, will be offered the vaccine at the expense of the project.
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.
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.
Maternal antibodies (measles and meningitis C) may wane in the first six months after birth. - Geometric mean titers(GMTs) of measles and meningitis C. - Follow-up on 0 month, 3rd month,5th month and 7th month after birth.
Measles and rubella are highly contagious acute viral diseases. As per WHO, several evidences demonstrate the benefit for providing the universal access to vaccines containing measles and rubella antigens, mainly due to, respectively, mortality in children and malformations in fetuses. This is a Phase I, open study, non-controlled, to evaluate the safety, tolerability and imunogenicity of double viral vaccine anti-measles and rubella (MR), which is developed and produced at Instituto de Tecnologia em Imunobiologicos Bio-Manguinhos/Fiocruz, in Brazil, for use in human beings. 30 eligible volunteers, between 18-49 years old, will be vaccinated and monitored for local and systemic adverse events and titration of antibodies. The study will last 20 months in total.
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of MV-NIS (measles virus-sodium iodide symporter) therapy for people with relapsed/refractory myeloma when given with cyclophosphamide
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.
The purpose of this survey is to assess the safety of freeze-dried live attenuated measles and rubella combined vaccine (Schwarz FF-8 strain/TO-336 strain) (freeze-dried live attenuated measles and rubella combined vaccine "Takeda") in terms of the occurrence of unknown/known adverse drug reactions and factors that may influence the safety of vaccinees after the second vaccination.
