May 17, 2019 updated by: Alba Maria Ropero

Immunogenicity of Co-administered Yellow Fever and Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) Vaccines in Children Under 2 Years Old in Argentina

This study evaluates seroconversion against measles, mumps, rubella and yellow fever following vaccination. One-third of children will receive both yellow fever and measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccines on the same day; one- third of children will receive MMR vaccine at enrollment followed by yellow fever vaccine 4 weeks later; one-third of children will receive yellow fever vaccine at enrollment followed by MMR vaccine 4 weeks later.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Pan American Health Organization recommend that yellow fever and measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccines be administered on the same day or at least 4 weeks apart to prevent interference between live vaccines. In 2011 a Brazilian study demonstrated lower seroconversion against yellow fever, rubella, and mumps when the two vaccines were administered on the same day compared with administering them separately. WHO urged that additional studies be conducted to examine this issue.

This Phase IV study aims to determine if seroconversion against measles, mumps, rubella, and yellow fever after administration of MMR and yellow fever vaccines on the same day is non-inferior to seroconversion after sequential administration 28 days apart in health 12-month old children.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
851

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

1 year to 2 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age 12 to 24 months at the time of enrollment
  • Healthy child, determined by clinical history
  • Availability to do study visits and blood sampling on days 28 + 7 and 56 + 14
  • Informed consent signed by parents

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous vaccination against yellow fever, measles, mumps, or rubella
  • History of yellow fever, measles, mumps or rubella

  • Contraindication for any of the study vaccines: yellow fever vaccine or triple viral vaccine, including:

    1. Allergy to eggs, gelatin, or neomycin
    2. Weakened immunological function, including HIV infection, primary immunodeficiencies, having received immunosuppressive doses of oral or injectable corticosteroids (or equivalent), having received immunomodulators or chemotherapeutic agents
    3. Thymus disease
    4. Serious illness/fever (mild illness without fever is not an exclusion criterion)

  • Administration of immunoglobulins or other blood derivative within 6 months of enrollment in the study or during the study

    a. Exception: children with a history of Kawasaki disease who received gammaglobulin cannot be enrolled if they received it in the previous 11 months.

  • Administration of any other attenuated viral vaccine (i.e., for chickenpox) in the month prior to enrollment, or if the administration of any other attenuated viral vaccine is expected during the study (up to 3 months)
  • Not being available for the entire study period (up to 3 months), or not able to make the scheduled visits or complete the study procedures
  • Participating in another clinical drug trial of a drug, vaccine, or medical device
  • Any condition that, in opinion of the study staff, represents a health risk to the participant or interferes with the evaluation of the response to the vaccine (i.e., children in percentile ≤ 3 in the height/weight tables will be considered undernourished and cannot be selected)
