About this trial
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.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
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.
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.
GMCs of IgG concentrations against measles, mumps, rubella, and VZV gE after MMRVNS or MMRV administration
This outcome measure evaluates immunological non-inferiority.
Secondary outcomes
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.
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.
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.
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.
