Filter by: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.
The purpose of this study is to compare two measles, mumps and rubella conjugate vaccines (manufactured by GSK and Merck and Company ) in terms of the immune response elicited and safety with a six month follow-up after first vaccination. Additionally, antibody persistence will be assessed one and two years after administration of MMR vaccine. The Protocol Posting has been updated following Protocol amendment 1 and 2, Oct 2009.
This Phase 3b study is being conducted for the purpose of registration of the GSK208136 vaccine in Korea.
Background: The safety of vaccination in patients with autoimmune diseases using immune suppressive therapy is often discussed. Previous studies in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) patients showed no increase in disease activity after immunisation with dead vaccines. The safety of the live attenuated Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) vaccination was assessed retrospectively in JIA patients and no increase in disease activity was found. However, this must be prospectively confirmed. In addition, it is unknown whether vaccination is effective, since the immune response to vaccination may be diminished due to immunosuppressive therapy for the underlying disease. Finally, the influence of MMR vaccination on the immune system of JIA patients has not been studied. Among others, regulatory T-cells (Tregs) should control the immune response and prevent destructive autoimmune responses after environmental triggers such as vaccination. Objective: The aim of the present study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of the MMR booster vaccination and its influence on immune regulatory mechanisms in children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. Method: JIA patients aged 4 to 8 years and treated by the pediatric rheumatology units from various University Medical Centers in the Netherlands, are asked to participate in a prospective study. In the Netherlands, measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination is included in the National Vaccination Program and is normally administered at age 9. Included patients will be randomised for early vaccination (age group 4 to 8yr at entry of the study) or at age 9 as is routinely done according to the National Vaccination Program. Prior to and after vaccination the investigators will assess disease activity and collect blood. Outcome: During a 12 month follow-up period the investigators will register disease activity and side-effects at different moments in time to determine safety of vaccination. The efficacy of the vaccine will be studied according to antibody levels and function against measles, mumps and rubella in the blood. Tregs will be isolated and their functionality will be determined using the blood cells collected during follow-up. This enables us to study the role influence of vaccination on regulatory mechanisms in our immune system.
The purpose of this observer blinded study is to provide information on vaccine immunogenicity and reactogenicity in comparison with the US standard of care (ProQuad®) when administered with Hepatitis A vaccine and Pneumococcal vaccine.
The primary study objectives are: - To demonstrate that a 2-dose regimen of ProQuad® manufactured with recombinant Human Albumin (rHA) administered at a 3-month interval to healthy children of 11 months of age at the time of Dose 1 is as immunogenic as in healthy children of 12 months of age at the time of Dose 1. - To demonstrate that a 2-dose regimen of ProQuad® rHA administered at a 3-month interval to healthy children of 9 months of age at the time of Dose 1 is as immunogenic as in healthy children of 12 months of age at the time of Dose 1. - To demonstrate that a 2-dose regimen of ProQuad® rHA administered at a 3-month interval to healthy children of 11 months of age and 9 months of age at the time of Dose 1 is well-tolerated compared to children of 12 months of age at the time of Dose 1. The first primary hypothesis was that a 2-dose regimen of ProQuad® rHA, administered at a 3-month interval to children of 11 months of age, would be non-inferior in terms of antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella at Day 42 following Dose 2, to the same regimen in children of 12 months of age at the time of Dose 1. If the first primary hypothesis was demonstrated, the second primary hypothesis was that a 2-dose regimen of ProQuad® rHA, administered at a 3-month interval to children of 9 months of age, would be non-inferior in terms of antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella at Day 42 following Dose 2, to the same regimen in children of 12 months of age at the time of Dose 1. The secondary study objectives are: - To describe the antibody titres to measles, mumps, rubella and varicella at Day 42 following Dose 1 and Dose 2 of ProQuad® rHA administered to healthy children from 9 months of age. - To evaluate the safety profile of Dose 1 and Dose 2 of ProQuad® rHA administered to healthy children from 9 months of age.
Primary objective: To describe the safety profile of a second dose of ProQuad® manufactured with recombinant human albumin (rHA) when administered to children in their second year of life. Secondary objectives: To describe the safety profile of a first dose of ProQuad® manufactured with rHA when administered to children in their second year of life.
This clinical trial will evaluate the safety of two injections of Menactra® Vaccine in subjects at 9 months and at 12 months of age when the second dose is given concomitantly with other pediatric vaccines routinely administered in the US. Safety Objective: To describe the safety profile of two doses of Menactra® Vaccine.
Primary objective: To describe the safety profile of a refrigerator-stable formulation of VARIVAX® as a first single dose injection in 12 to 15 month-old infants in the 42-day follow-up period post-vaccination. Secondary objectives: NA
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.
