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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

INC#1 Participant's parent(s)/LAR(s), who, in the opinion of the investigator, can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol (e.g., completion of the eDiaries, return for follow-up visits).

INC#2 Written or witnessed/thumb printed or digital informed consent obtained from the participant's parent(s)/LAR(s) prior to performance of any study specific procedure.

INC#3 Informed assent obtained from the participants in line with local rules and regulations.

INC#4 Healthy participants as established by medical history and clinical examination at screening.

Disqualifiers

EXC#1 History of any reaction or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component of the study interventions, including hypersensitivity to neomycin or gelatin.

EXC#2 Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history and physical examination (no laboratory testing required).

EXC#3 Hypersensitivity to latex.

EXC#4 Unstable chronic conditions as determined by medical history and physical examination.

Trial outcomes

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
