What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Seroconverted Subjects for Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella Virus

    Seroconversion was defined as the appearance of antibodies (i.e. concentration/titer ≥ the cut-off value) in the serum of subjects seronegative before vaccination. The cut-off values for serocoversion were 150 mIU/mL, 231 U/mL, 4 IU/mL and 25 mIU/mL for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella, respectively.

    Measured: At 42 days after vaccination

  2. Number of Seroprotected Subjects for rSBA-MenC Antibodies

    Seroprotection was defined as the appearance of rSBA-MenC antibody titer ≥ 1:8.

    Measured: At 42 days after vaccination

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms

    Assessed solicited local symptoms were pain, redness and swelling. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 pain = Cried when limb is moved/spontaneously painful. Grade 3 redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond 20 millimeters (mm) of injection site. This outcome measure concerns subjects in Priorix-Tetra + Meningitec Group and Priorix-Tetra Group only. Subjects in Priorix-Tetra Group did not receive Meningitec® vaccine.

    Measured: During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period

  2. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were drowsiness, irritability/fussiness and loss of appetite. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade or relationship to vaccination. Grade 3 symptom = symptom that prevented normal activity. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Measured: During the 15-day (Days 0-14) post-vaccination period

  3. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were Parotid / salivary gland swelling and suspected signs of meningism / febrile convulsions. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade or relationship to vaccination. Grade 3 parotid / salivary gland swelling = swelling with accompanying general symptoms and Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Measured: During the 43-day (Days 0-42) post-vaccination period

  4. Number of Subjects Reporting Fever Per Half Degree

    Any fever = fever ≥ 38.0°C on rectal setting, grade 3 fever = fever > 39.5 °C and related = fever assessed by the investigator as causally related to study vaccination.

    Measured: During the 43-day (Days 0-42) post-vaccination period

  5. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Localised and Generalised Rashes

    Rash/exanthem was defined as: 1) measles/ rubella rashes (macular or maculo-papular rashes): presence of macules, discolored small patches or spots of the skin, neither elevated nor depressed below the skin's surface. 2) varicella rash (maculo-papulo-vesicular): simultaneous presence of macules, papules and vesicles raised above the skin's surface or other types of rash (heat rash, diaper rash etc.). Any rash = no lesions and grade 3 = > 150 lesions.

    Measured: Within the 43-day (Days 0-42) post-vaccination period

  6. Number of Subjects With Any Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study. Any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms.

    Measured: Within 43 days (Days 0-42) after each vaccination

  7. Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life-threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity.

    Measured: Throughout study period (from Day 0 to approximately Month 4)

  8. Antibody Titers Against Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella Viruses

    Antibody titers were summarized by geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the following cut-offs: ≥ 150 mIU/mL, ≥ 231 U/mL, ≥ 4 IU/mL and ≥ 25 mIU/mL for anti-measles, anti-mumps, anti-rubella and anti-varicella, respectively.

    Measured: At Day 42 after vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing PriorixTetra™ and Meningitec in people with Rubella and Varicella, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 13 sites in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jan 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Seroconverted Subjects for Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella Virus (time frame: At 42 days after vaccination). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01506193, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Aug 2018.
