Sponsored by Stanford University · Observational
This is an immunogenicity study evaluating the development of the immune response of healthy infants following primary vaccination with Attenuvax at 6 or 9 months of age compared with responses in 12 month-old infants receiving MMR-II. Responses of infants receiving an early two dose measles vaccine regimen with the first dose given at 6 or 9 months followed by a second dose administered at 12 months will also be compared to infants given a single dose at 12 months of age (Table 2). The current approved regimen for measles vaccination is a first vaccination at 12-15 months and a subsequent vaccination at school entry.
A secondary endpoint of this study will be to assess the safety of measles vaccine administered as Attenuvax at 6 or 9 months of age and in an early two dose measles vaccine regimen with Attenuvax administered at 6 or 9 months followed by MMR-II at 12 months of age.
This is an open-label immunogenicity and safety study of live attenuated Measles Vaccine (Attenuvax) and Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR-II) vaccine administered to healthy children at 6 (n=70), 9 (n=70), or 12 (n=70) months of age. Attenuvax (Measles Virus Vaccine Live, Merck \& Co., Inc) and MMR-II (Measles-Mumps-Rubella Virus Vaccine Live, Merck \& Co., Inc) will be delivered as 0.5 mL per dose, administered subcutaneously. Both vaccines are licensed for use in infants in the United States. MMR-II is recommended as part of the childhood immunization schedule by the AAP and ACIP, and Attenuvax is recommended for use as a single component vaccine in infants 6-11 months particularly for foreign travel and in measles outbreaks79. Infants vaccinated with Attenuvax at 6 or 9 months receive MMR-II at 12 months of age as recommended for follow-up vaccination. Immunization against measles is given as a trivalent formulation with mumps and rubella and is indicated as a primary dose at 12-15 months of age with a second dose recommended routinely at time of school entry, 4-6 years of age, but can be given at any earlier age provided that the interval between the first and second doses is at least 4 weeks .
Two hundred and ten healthy children attending the Palo Alto Medical Clinic will be recruited into one of three cohorts over a five year period. (Table 1). All children in cohort 1 and 2 (6 and 9 month old infants) will receive Attenuvax as part of their participation in this study followed by MMR-II at 12 months of age as part of their routine WCC and not as a study vaccine. Infants recruited into cohort 3, (twelve month old infants) will receive one dose of MMR-II at 12 months. All infants in the study (cohort 1, 2 or 3) are receiving MMR-II at 12 months as part of their routine childhood vaccines. The vaccination schedules is summarized in Table 1. Other immunizations as required for routine WCC will be administered simultaneously. Participation will entail 2-4 visits, 2-3 blood samples, and 1-2 immunizations and will end after the 9-18 month visit, totaling 3 to 12 months time of participation for a subject depending on cohort and if participants opt for a second follow-up blood sample.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
