Study summary

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.

Read the 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.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

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.

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.
