Clinical Trial for Measles - Rubella Combined Vaccine (MRVAC) Produced by POLYVAC (Phase III)

Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial for Measles - Rubella Combined Vaccine (MRVAC) Produced by POLYVAC by Technology Transfer From Japan (Phase III)

The study is conducted to evaluate the safety and Immunogenicity of Measles-Rubella combined vaccine MRVAC produced by POLYVAC (phase 3) on Vietnamese volunteers and to demonstrate non-inferiority on the immunogenicity of MRVAC in comparison to MR vaccine produced by Serum Institute, India.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Signs and Symptoms
• Intervention / Treatment: Biological: Trial arm (MRVAC); Biological: Control arm

Detailed Description

A phase III, Randomized, control study to compare the immunogenicity and safety of MRVAC vaccine produced by POLYVAC with MR vaccine licensed in Vietnam produced by Serum Institute, India.

1. Evaluate the safety of MRVAC produced by POLYVAC on Healthy Vietnamese volunteers from 1 - 45 years old.

   Evaluate the safety by the ratio of participants having following symptom/signs:

   • The ratio of immediate adverse events (local adverse events and systemic adverse events), within 30 minutes after vaccination.
   • The ratio of participants having local and systemic adverse events (including unexpected adverse events) occur within 28 days after vaccination.
   • The ratio of serious adverse events (SAEs) occur from day 0 to day 28 after vaccination. (SAEs).

2. Evaluate the immunogenicity of MRVAC produced by POLYVAC on the healthy volunteers from 1 - 45 years.

   • The rate of sero-conversion;
   • GMT (Geomatric mean Antibody titer) after vaccination.
3. Comparison the safety and immunogenicity between MRVAC and control vaccine.

• Study Type: Interventional
• Enrollment (Actual): 756
• Phase: Phase 3

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Trial arm (MRVAC); Measles and Rubella combined vaccine (lyophilized) MRVAC produced by POLYVAC is live attenuated measles vaccine. Each vial of 10 doses of measles-rubella combined vaccine is reconstituted with 5.5 mL of water for injection. Each single dose 0.5 mL contains the following components: Live, attenuated strain AIK-C measles virus not less than 1000 PFU Live, attenuated strain Takahashi rubella virus not less than 1000 PFU Subcutaneous injection	Biological: Trial arm (MRVAC); Volunteers from 1-45 years old will be injected only one dose of MRVAC vaccine
Active Comparator: Control arm; Measles and Rubella combined vaccine produce by Serum Institute, India (lyophilized) is live attenuated Measles and Rubella vaccines being used in the Vietnam expanded immunization program was used as control arm. Subcutaneous injection	Biological: Control arm; Volunteers from 1-45 years old will be injected only one dose of MRVAC vaccine
