Inclusion criteria

  • Subjects who the investigator believes that their parents/guardians can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol should be enrolled in the study.
  • A male or female between, and including 11 and 24 months of age, at the time of the vaccination.
  • Written obtained from the parent or guardian of the subject.
  • Healthy subjects as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Use of any or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine(s) within 30 days preceding the dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period.
  • Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the vaccine dose.
  • Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products during the six months before entering the study or planned administration during the study period.
  • Planned administration/ administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol within 30 days prior to until 42 days after the study vaccine dose with the exception of inactivated vaccines such as pneumococcal, Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccines, inactivated influenza, hepatitis A or B vaccine or diphtheria/tetanus-containing vaccines which can be administered up to eight days before the study vaccine dose.
  • Previous vaccination against measles, mumps, rubella and/or varicella.
  • History of measles, mumps, rubella and/or varicella/zoster diseases.
  • Known exposure to measles, mumps, rubella and/or varicella within 30 days prior to study start.
  • Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, including (HIV) infection.

  • Pregnant women who have a negative history of chickenpox
  • Persons with known immunodeficiency
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

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.

Informed consent

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.

Investigational drug or device

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.

Immunosuppression

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.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Subjects Seroconverted for Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) Antibodies Above the Cut-off Values

    Seroconversion was defined as the appearance of antibodies \[i.e. titer greater than or equal to (≥) the cut-off value\] in the sera of subjects seronegative \[i.e. titer below (\<) cut-off value\] before vaccination. Cut-off values were the following: Anti-measles concentration ≥ 150 milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL); Anti-mumps concentration ≥ 231 units per milliliter (U/mL); Anti-rubella concentration ≥ 4 international units per milliliter (IU/mL); Anti-VZV titer ≥ 1:4 dilution.

    Time frame: At 42 days post-vaccination

    Time frame: At 42-days post-vaccination

  5. Number of Subjects With Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms

    Solicited local symptoms assessed were pain, redness and swelling. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 pain = cry when limb was moved/spontaneously painful. Grade 3 redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond 20 millimeters (mm) of injection site.

    Time frame: During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period

  6. Number of Subjects With Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms

    Solicited general symptoms assessed were fever \[defined as rectal temperature ≥38.0 degrees Celsius (°C)\], rash, meningism and parotid gland swelling. Any= incidence of the specified symptoms regardless of intensity grade or relationship to study vaccine. Grade 3 fever= rectal temperature above (\>) 39.5°C. Grade 3 rash= more than 150 lesions. Grade 3 meningism and parotid gland swelling= meningism/parotid gland swelling symptom which prevented normal everyday activities. Related = general symptom assessed by the investigator as causally related to the vaccination.

    Time frame: During the 43-day (Days 0-42) post-vaccination period

  7. Number of Subjects With Any Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Any was defined as an adverse event (AE) reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study. Any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms was reported as an unsolicited adverse event.

    Time frame: Within the 43-day (Days 0-42) post-vaccination period

  8. Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that resulted in death, were life threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, resulted in disability/incapacity or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.

    Time frame: During the entire study period (from Day 0 up to Day 43 or Day 57)

The record gives a start of Oct 2008, a primary completion of May 2010 and a completion of May 2010. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Apr 2017, 6 years 10 months after primary completion. A results delay was requested in Jul 2010.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 8, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
