Study summary

Several studies on the duration of immunity after the vaccine try to explain the cause of susceptibility to the measles virus even after the administration of 2 doses of the viral triple vaccine, based not only on the finding of low vaccine coverage.

In the recent measles epidemic that occurred in Brazil, beginning in 2018, we verified the predominance of the D8 genotype, with different strains. The detection of these strains is an important molecular marker to define different introductions of the same genotype, in the same geographic area, enabling better knowledge and discussion of the control strategies used.

Some news circulated in the press about a possible failure of the vaccine to protect the vaccinated population against this D8 genotype.

Regarding the mumps and rubella components, analyzes of the duration of immunity will be carried out for these 2 components, in addition to measles, since the children received in 2012 the triple viral vaccine, and there are data in the literature on the drop in antibodies to mumps, over the years. For rubella, Brazil received the rubella virus elimination certificate, and the results of duration of immunity from this study, may collaborate to know the profile of duration of immunity to rubella, in this cohort vaccinated in 2012, and who is living in a period without circulation of the wild virus.

Read the detailed description

In this project, the investigators propose:

  • Evaluate the proportion of seropositive people for measles, mumps and rubella, in relation to the doses of the triple viral vaccine administered, and recorded on the vaccination card, and correlate with the time elapsed since the last dose, of the children vaccinated at 12 months of age, in a study carried out in 2012, and which in 2020 will be 8 or 9 years old;
  • Compare antibody titers in vaccinees, at 12 - 23 months of age, in 2012, in the study that compared the mono x multidose presentations of the triple viral vaccine, evaluating the serums collected at that time, in the post-vaccination post-vaccination samples (one dose from triple viral), and stored in the biorepository, and the recent sera, from samples that will be collected in 2020, 8 years later, against the vaccine virus and the wild virus, strain D8;
  • Evaluate cellular immunity to measles, rubella and mumps components, in samples collected in 2020.

Children who participated in the study in 2012 received 1 dose of the triple viral vaccine at 12 - 23 months of age. After serology, IgG, using the immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA) method, children who had not presented seroconversion to any of the components of the triple viral vaccine received another dose of the vaccine. In 2012, the PNI recommended a 2nd dose of the triple viral vaccine at 4 years of age. Probably, this year, 2020, children who are included in the study will be able to register at least 2 doses of the triple viral vaccine, at 12 months as a participant in the 2012 study, and a 2nd dose of the triple viral vaccine, if they were vaccinated. at the age of 4 as recommended by the PNI. In addition, these children may have received more doses of triple viral vaccine, if they were vaccinated in a vaccination campaign, blocking vaccination, because of the measles outbreak in Rio de Janeiro.

Study population

Healthy children, aged 8 to 9 years old, who will be contacted and invited to participate in the study, and who were part of the population that participated in the previous comparative study of immunogenicity after vaccination with the triple viral.

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

  • Children of both sexes, aged between 8 and 9 years and who have provenly participated in the previous 2012 study.
  • Agreement by the father and / or mother, or the legal guardian, with the child's participation in the study, and signing of the Form (ICF) and the Informed Consent Form (TALE) by the minor.
  • Willingness of the father or mother, or legal guardian, to provide name, address, telephone and other information so that they can be contacted if necessary.
  • Responsible (s) able (S) to understand the risks of the experiment that, although minimal, exist.
  • Child able to understand TALE and accept to participate in the study.
  • Responsible to understand and sign the IC. If the guardian is not able to sign (eg illiterate), the IC can be signed by an impartial witness who has accompanied the entire procedure.
  • Participation availability by performing blood collection for immunity assessment.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Refusal to collect blood.
  • Skin lesions at venipuncture sites that prevent collection - in this case, postpone collection.
  • Child subject to abnormal bleeding after injections.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Duration of immunity from the triple viral vaccine

    The present study is expected to evaluate the duration of immunity from the triple viral vaccine over the years of life, specifically in this study in the age group of 8 to 9 years, from the capture of the cohort of vaccinated with the first dose applied to 12- 23 months in the 2012 study.

    Time frame: 8 years after the 1st dose of measles vaccine applied in the 2012 clinical study

Secondary outcomes

  1. proportions of seropositive individuals with an enzyme immunoassay (ELISA), such as the Geometric Average Titles for measles

    Both the proportions of seropositive individuals with an enzyme immunoassay (ELISA), as well as the Average Geometric Titles for measles, are higher than those observed after vaccination at 12 to 23 months of age, according to the results found in studies previously conducted in Brazil. In this study, the analysis of the agreement between the ELISA and PRNT methods will also be performed, for the evaluation of the serology of the measles component, and the agreement of the challenge test for the vaccine and wild measles strain.

    Time frame: 8 years after the 1st dose of measles vaccine applied in the 2012 clinical study
