Trial overview
Official title: Study of two formulations of GSK Biologicals' varicella vaccine given as a 2-dose course in the second year of life
Trial description: The aim of this study is to evaluate a modified formulation of GSK Biologicals' live attenuated varicella vaccine. In vivo pre-clinical data show this change has no negative impact on vaccine safety. This present study is undertaken to rule out any negative impact on the immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' live attenuated varicella virus vaccine.
Primary purpose:
Prevention
Trial design:
Parallel Assignment
Masking:
Double (Participant, Investigator)
Allocation:
Randomized
Primary outcomes:
Antibody titers against varicella zoster virus (VZV)
Timeframe: At 43-57 days after the first vaccine dose (Week 6)
Antibody concentrations against varicella zoster virus (VZV)
Timeframe: At 43-57 days after the first vaccine dose (Week 6)
Secondary outcomes:
Number of seroconverted subjects for varicella antibodies
Timeframe: At 43-57 days post-Dose 1 (Week 6) and 86-114 days post-Dose 2 (Week 12)
Number of subjects with anti-VZV antibody concentrations above cut-off values
Timeframe: At 43-57 days post-Dose 1 (Week 6) and 86-114 days post-Dose 2 (Week 12)
Antibody titers against varicella zoster virus (VZV)
Timeframe: At 86-114 days after the second vaccine dose (Week 12)
Antibody concentrations against varicella zoster virus (VZV)
Timeframe: At 86-114 days after the second vaccine dose (Week 12)
Number of subjects with any and grade 3 solicited local symptoms
Timeframe: During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period following each dose
Number of subjects with any, grade 3 and related solicited general symptoms
Timeframe: During the 43-day (Days 0-42) post-vaccination period following each dose
Number of subjects with any unsolicited adverse event (AE)
Timeframe: Within the 43-day (Days 0-42) post-vaccination period following each dose
Number of subjects with serious adverse events (SAEs)
Timeframe: From Day 0 up to study end (Day 86-114)

- Chronic administration of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the first vaccine dose.
- Planned administration/ administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol within 30 days prior to the first study vaccine dose until 42 days after second study vaccine dose with the exception of oral polio vaccine (OPV) which can be given at any time and routine inactivated vaccines which can be administered up to eight days before each study vaccine dose.
