Study Summary

This trial assesses the safety and efficacy of an investigational chickenpox vaccine in young children.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy children aged 12 to 15 months who have received their primary series of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. They must not have a history of severe allergies, immune conditions, or recent immunosuppressant use. Children with certain household members at risk (like pregnant women without chickenpox immunity) are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests different potencies of an investigational chickenpox vaccine against a marketed one in young children. It also includes other routine vaccines like MMR and Hepatitis A to assess the immune response and safety profile of the new varicella vaccine.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions at the injection site such as redness, swelling, pain, fever, rash similar to mild chickenpox, irritability or crying more than usual. Severe allergic reactions are rare but possible.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: VNS_Med GroupExperimental Treatment7 Interventions
Healthy children aged 12 to 15 months of age receive 1 dose of an investigational varicella vaccine (VNS) of medium potency, 1 dose of a measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, 1 dose of a hepatitis A vaccine, and 1 dose of a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine on Day 1. The 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine will only be administered to participants enrolled in the US and in countries where pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is recommended at 12-15 months as per national immunization schedule.
Group II: VNS_Low GroupExperimental Treatment8 Interventions
Healthy children aged 12 to 15 months of age receive 1 dose of an investigational varicella vaccine (VNS) of low potency 1 dose of a measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, 1 dose of a hepatitis A vaccine and 1 dose of a13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine on Day 1. The 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine will only be administered to participants enrolled in the US and in countries where pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is recommended at 12-15 months as per national immunization schedule.
Group III: VNS_High GroupExperimental Treatment7 Interventions
Healthy children aged 12 to 15 months of age receive 1 dose of an investigational varicella vaccine (VNS) of high potency 1 dose of a measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, 1 dose of a hepatitis A vaccine, and 1 dose a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine on Day 1. The 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine will only be administered to participants enrolled in the US and in countries where pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is recommended at 12-15 months as per national immunization schedule.
Group IV: VV_Lot1 and Lot2 Pooled GroupActive Control5 Interventions
Healthy children aged 12 to 15 months of age receive 1 dose of a marketed varicella vaccine (VV) of Lot 1 or 1 dose of a marketed varicella vaccine (VV) of Lot 2, 1 dose of a measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, 1 dose of a hepatitis A vaccine, and a 1 dose of a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine on Day 1. The 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine will only be administered to participants enrolled in the US and in countries where pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is recommended at 12-15 months as per national immunization schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does this experiment only include people over 40 in the control group?

"The age range for patients that this study can accept is 12-15 months old."

Answered by AI

What does the Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine help protect patients from?

"The measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine is not only used to treat mumps, but also other conditions like herpes zoster, typhoid fever, and rubella."

Answered by AI

Could I possibly join this experiment?

"The requirements for this study are that potential participants must have had chickenpox and be between 12 and 15 months old. This particular trial is looking for approximately 800 patients in total."

Answered by AI

Are there any unfilled positions for participants in this research?

"That is correct. The clinical trial is currently ongoing and recruiting patients at 39 different sites. So far, they have admitted 800 people into the study."

Answered by AI

Is it safe for patients to receive the Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine?

"The Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine is currently in Phase 2 of clinical trials. While there is some data supporting its safety, more research needs to be done to confirm its efficacy."

Answered by AI

Could you please name a few more examples of research surrounding the MMR vaccine?

"23 different clinical trials are currently underway to study the Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine. Of these ongoing trials, 7 have reached Phase 3. Although many of the Houston-based studies are for Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines specifically, 593 locations around the world are running similar investigations."

Answered by AI

How many hospitals are conducting this research project?

"Currently, there are a total of 39 clinical trial sites. These include locations in Erie, Shreveport, Barnwell and 36 other places. If you choose to participate in this trial, it would be convenient for you to select the nearest clinic to cut down on travel time."

Answered by AI

How many people can join this experiment at most?

"That is correct. As of 7/15/2022, this study was still recruiting patients which is evident from the information provided on clinicaltrials.gov. This trial was created on 2/3/2022 and was looking for 800 individuals to participate across 39 different sites."
