Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Gestational age of 32+ weeks.
  • Birth weight of 1000+ grams.
  • Signed from the parents.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Immune-deficiency (primary or acquired) or -suppression.
  • Intake of immune modulating medicine (including high doses of ) (M-M-RVAXPRO is not in individuals who are receiving topical or low-dose parenteral corticosteroids, e.g. for asthma prophylaxis or replacement therapy).
  • Signs of severe illness or major malformation.
  • No Danish-speaking parent.
  • Children with a history of anaphylactic, anaphylactoid, or other immediate reactions (e.g., hives, swelling of the mouth and throat, difficulty breathing, hypotension, or shock) subsequent to egg ingestion are excluded.
  • Children with known fructose intolerance, thrombocytopenia or any coagulation disorder will be excluded.
  • Children who received blood or plasma transfusions, or administration of human immune serum globulin within the last 3 months will be excluded.
  • Further, children are excluded from the trial if any contraindication is suspected: history of to any measles, mumps, or rubella vaccine, or to any of the , including neomycin.
  • Children with active untreated tuberculosis, blood dyscrasias, leukaemia, lymphomas of any type, or other malignant neoplasms affecting the haematopoietic and lymphatic systems will be excluded.
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.

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.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

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.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Humoral immunogenicity

    The plaque reduction neutralisation test (PRNT), which measures the serum dilution capable of preventing 50% of plaque formation induced by measles virus in cell cultures, has been considered the most reliable criterion for the serologic evaluation of measles immunity. For PNRT, the protective cutoff titer is defined to be \>120. A frequency of 95% seroconversion rate, i.e. children mounting a protective level of humoral immunity according to the abovementioned cutoff value after MMR-vaccination at 6 M of age will be considered sufficient to suggest implementation of MMR at 6 M in the Danish vaccination programme.

    Time frame: 1 months after intervention

  2. Hospitalisation for infection

    Significant decrease in hospitalisation for infection measured as repeated events from 6 to 12 months of age in children randomised to MMR at 6 M compared to children randomised to placebo. Information about hospitalisation for infection will be obtained from the national Danish Patient Register, where all Danish inhabitants are followed-up during all hospital contacts.

    Time frame: 6-12 months of age
