A Phase 4 interventional study of MMR Vaccine in Measles, Mumps and Rubella, sponsored by The Immunobiological Technology Institute (Bio-Manguinhos) / Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz). Completed at 1 site in Brazil. Open to participants aged 12 Months to 23 Months, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-07-11.

Study summary

Whether the lower immunogenicity of the mumps component obtained in clinical studies with the MMR in Brazil, due to the multidose presentation. Investigations were made on factors that could interfere with immunogenicity of mumps component, as the kits used for the immunoassay method, and potency of the vaccine, but no explanation was found. This study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that the lower immunogenicity of the mumps component of the MMR Bio-Manguinhos vaccine, is due to the multidose presentation.

The Main objetctive is evaluate the immunogenicity of MMR after one dose in children 12 to 23 months of life, comparing the performances multidose vial (10 doses per vial of vaccine produced in Bio-Manguinhos/Fiocruz through technology transfer from GlaxoSmithKline Laboratory - GSK) and single dose vial (1 dose per vial of vaccine produced by GSK).

Study Design

This is a clinical trial Phase IV, randomized, single-blind, with two arms:

  • MMR (TV) combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine produced in Bio-Manguinhos, applied to healthy children 12 to 23 months. Multidose presentation, only from one batch.
  • MMR (GSK-TV), produced by GlaxoSmithKline, the same age. Monodose presentation, only from one batch.

Locations of the study

  • CMS Heitor Beltrão - Tijuca
  • CMS Milton Fontess Magarão - Engenho de Dentro

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Children of both sexes.
  • Age between 12 and 23 months and 29 days.
  • Child in good health, without significant personal morbid history, such as genetic syndromes, epilepsy, diabetes, severe infections and immune dysfunctions.
  • Concordance of the father or mother, or legal guardian, with the child's participation in the study, and signing the Form (ICF).
  • Disposition of the father or mother, or legal guardian, to provide name, address, telephone number and other information so you can get in touch with this (s) if necessary.
  • Responsible able understand the risks of the experiment that, although minimal, there.
  • Responsible able to understand and sign the informed consent form. If the charge is not able to sign (illiterate) the ICF may be signed by an impartial witness who has followed the whole procedure.
  • Availability return to collect post-vaccination - The subjects of research may not be participating in another clinical trial during this study.
  • Not having received the vaccine Immunization Schedule in the last 30 days.
  • Not receiving another vaccine until harvest 2, 42 days after vaccination with MMR.

Non-inclusion criteria

  • Children with a history of measles, rubella and or mumps.
  • Having previously received MMR vaccination documented in book (eg in situations of conducting national campaign or blocking vaccination before suspected cases of the disease).
  • Have received injectable vaccines of live attenuated (eg. Yellow fever vaccine) - in this case, defer vaccination with MMR after 30 days of the last administered.
  • Having received a transfusion of blood or blood products, including immunoglobulins, less than 1 year.
  • Skin lesions at sites of venipuncture.
  • Child subject to abnormal bleeding after injections.
  • Use the last 6 months in doses of and other immunosuppressants.
  • Fever or the day of inclusion in the 3 days prior to the inclusion in this case may be rescheduled for inclusion after 14 days the fever subsides.
  • Use of antibiotic on the day of inclusion or in the last 7 days prior to the date of inclusion - in this case, may be rescheduled for inclusion after 14 days of the last day of antibiotic use.
  • Any significant abnormality on physical examination the day of enrollment.
  • known systemic neomycin or any other component of the vaccine.
  • Guy with a history of severe allergy, anaphylaxis to egg proteins
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.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.

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.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

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. Whether the lower immunogenicity of the mumps component obtained in clinical studies with the MMR in Brazil, due to the multidose presentation.

    Before vaccination study and about 42 days after, shall be taken blood samples to determine the levels of antibodies to all three components of the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella). Antibody titers are measured by enzyme immunoassay (cut off point of 231 units/ml for mumps, 4 IU/ml for rubella and 150 IU /ml measles) and neutralization test plaque reduction for measles (cut off point of 0.20 IU/mL for measles).

    Time frame: 42 days after vaccination, blood samples will be done to determine the levels of antibodies to all three components of the MMR Vaccine

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 Jul 11, 2016, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
