A Study on the Immune Response and Safety of an Investigational Combined Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella Vaccine, When Given to Healthy Children 4 to 6 Years of Age
brief summary
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.
