Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how consistently 3 different manufacturing lots of the GSK's investigational measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRVNS) vaccine will produce an immune response. It will also compare the overall immune response to the MMRVNS vaccine with that of the Merck licensed measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccine.

The vaccines will be given as a second dose to children aged 4 to 6 years who have previously received a first dose of any combination of measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella-containing vaccine(s).

The study will also assess the immune response and safety of the MMRVNS and MMRV vaccines when given at the same time as a diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, and inactivated poliovirus (DTaP-IPV) vaccine. The DTaP-IPV vaccine used is licensed as Kinrix in the United States.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

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.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella zoster virus (VZV) glycoprotein E (gE) after MMRVNS vaccine administration

    This outcome measure evaluates immunological consistency.

    Time frame: At Day 43

  2. Number of participants with seroresponse against measles, mumps, rubella, and VZV gE after MMRVNS or MMRV administration

    This outcome measure evaluates immunological non-inferiority. Seroresponse is defined as post-vaccination IgG antibody concentrations equal to or above threshold values as follows: The seroresponse of a participant is: * zero (non-seroresponder) if the IgG concentration is below the seroresponse threshold of the assay, * One (seroresponder) if the IgG concentration is above or equal to the seroresponse threshold.

    Time frame: At Day 43

  3. GMCs of IgG concentrations against measles, mumps, rubella, and VZV gE after MMRVNS or MMRV administration

    This outcome measure evaluates immunological non-inferiority.

    Time frame: At Day 43

Secondary outcomes

  1. GMCs of IgG antibodies against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis antigens (Bordetella pertussis toxin, filamentous hemagglutinin, and outer membrane protein pertactin) after MMRVNS or MMRV administration in a subset of participants

    This outcome measure evaluates immunological non-inferiority.

    Time frame: At Day 43

  2. Geometric mean titers (GMTs) of neutralizing antibodies against poliovirus 1, 2, and 3 after MMRVNS or MMRV administration in a subset of participants

    This outcome measure evaluates immunological non-inferiority.

    Time frame: At Day 43

  3. Booster response of IgG concentrations against pertussis antigens (Bordetella pertussis toxin, filamentous hemagglutinin, and outer membrane pertactin) after DTaP-IPV co-administration with MMRVNS or MMRV in a subset of participants

    The booster response of a participant is: One (responder) if: \- the pre-vaccination antibody concentration is below the assay cut-off, and the post-vaccination antibody concentration is \>=4 times the assay cut-off. or, - the pre-vaccination antibody concentration is between the assay cut-off and 4 times the assay cut-off, and the post-vaccination antibody concentration is \>=4 times the pre vaccination antibody concentration. or, \- the pre-vaccination antibody concentration is greater or equal to 4 times the assay cut-off, and the post vaccination antibody concentration is \>=2 times the pre-vaccination antibody concentration. Zero (non-responder) in all other cases.

    Time frame: At Day 43

  4. Number of participants with any solicited administration site events following MMRVNS or MMRV administration

    Solicited administration site events are injection site redness, pain/tenderness, swelling, and injection site varicella-like rash.

    Time frame: From Day 1 to Day 4 for injection site redness, pain/tenderness, and swelling; and from Day 1 to Day 43 for injection site varicella-like rash

  5. Number of participants with any solicited systemic events following MMRVNS or MMRV administration

    Solicited systemic events are somnolence (sleepiness/drowsiness), loss of appetite, fever, varicella-like rash (non-injection site), measles/rubella-like rash, and other rash that is not varicella-like or measles/rubella-like rash.

    Time frame: From Day 1 to Day 15 for somnolence and loss of appetite; Day 1 to Day 22 for fever; Day 1 to Day 43 for varicella-like rash (non-injection site), measles/rubella-like rash, and other rash

  6. Number of participants with any unsolicited adverse events (AEs) following MMRVNS or MMRV administration

    An unsolicited AE is an AE that is either not included in the list of solicited events or could be included in the list of solicited events but with an onset outside the specified period of follow- up for solicited events.

    Time frame: From Day 1 to Day 43

  7. Number of participants with any medically attended adverse events (MAAEs) following MMRVNS or MMRV administration

    MAAEs are solicited AEs and unsolicited nonserious AEs for which the participant received medical attention (an unscheduled visit to or from medical personnel for any reason, including emergency room visits).

    Time frame: From Day 1 to Day 181

  8. Number of participants with serious adverse events (SAEs), fatal SAEs, and related SAEs following MMRVNS or MMRV administration

    An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongs existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or other medically significant events.

    Time frame: From Day 1 to Day 181

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 Aug 3, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
