Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Percentages of Subjects With a Seroresponse to Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella Following Concomitant Administration of MMRV Vaccine With MenACWY-CRM Vaccine
    • Time Frame: 6 weeks post vaccination
    • Percentages of subjects with seroresponses to measles, mumps, rubella and varicella after one dose of MMRV vaccine (at 12 months) when given concomitantly with MenACWY-CRM vaccine compared to when MMRV vaccine was given alone, are reported. Seroresponse was defined as the percentage of initially seronegative subjects who show seroconversion to measles (≥255 mIU/mL), mumps (≥10 ELISA Ab units), rubella (≥10 IU/mL) and the percentage of initially seronegative subjects who show seroprotection (≥5 gp ELISA units/mL) for varicella. Immunogenicity to measles, mumps, rubella and varicella at 6 weeks after vaccination with one dose of MMRV given concomitantly with MenACWY-CRM was considered non-inferior to immunogenicity of MMRV administered alone if the lower limit of two-sided 95% CI of the difference in the percentage of subjects with seroconversion for measles, mumps, and rubella, and seroprotection for varicella was greater than -5% (measles, mumps and rubella) and -10% (varicella).
  • Percentages of Subjects With Serum Bactericidal Titers ≥1:8 Following Concomitant Administration of MenACWY-CRM Vaccine With MMRV Vaccine.
    • Time Frame: 6 weeks post second dose
    • Percentages of subjects with hSBA ≥1:8, against N.meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y following two doses of MenACWY-CRM vaccine (at 7-9 months and 12 months) when concomitantly administered with MMRV vaccine (12 months) compared to when MenACWY-CRM vaccine was given alone, are reported. The serum bactericidal antibodies directed against N.meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y, were measured by human complement Serum Bactericidal Assay (hSBA). The immune response of MenACWY-CRM given concomitantly with MMRV was considered non-inferior to the immunogenicity of MenACWY-CRM administered alone if the lower limit of the two-sided 95% CI around the difference of the percentage of subjects with hSBA ≥1:8 at 6 weeks after the second dose of MenACWY-CRM given to 12-month old toddlers {P MMRV+MenACWY minus P MenACWY} was greater than -10% for each serogroup.
  • Percentages of Subjects With hSBA ≥1:8 Following Two Doses of MenACWY-CRM Vaccine
    • Time Frame: 6 weeks post vaccine dose 2
    • The antibody response following two doses of MenACWY-CRM vaccine (at 7-9 months and 12 months) was considered adequate if the lower limit of the two-sided 95% CI for the percentage of subjects with hSBA ≥1:8, at 6 weeks following the second dose of MenACWY-CRM, was greater than 85% for serogroups C, W-135, or Y and greater than 65% for serogroup A.

Secondary Measures

  • Percentages of Subjects With hSBA ≥1:4 After Two Doses of MenACWY-CRM Vaccine
    • Time Frame: 6 weeks post vaccine dose 2
    • The percentages of subjects with hSBA ≥1:4 directed against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y following two doses of MenACWY-CRM vaccine (at 7-9 and 12 months of age) when given concomitantly with MMRV vaccine (at 12 months) compared to when MenACWY-CRM vaccine was given alone, are reported.
  • Geometric Mean Titers Against Serogroups A, C, W-135 and Y, Following Two Doses of MenACWY-CRM Vaccine
    • Time Frame: 6 weeks post vaccine dose 2
    • The geometric mean titers (GMTs) directed against N.meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135 and Y, following two doses of MenACWY-CRM vaccine (at 7-9 months and 12 months of age), when given concomitantly with MMRV vaccine (at 12 months) compared to when MenACWY-CRM vaccine was given alone, are reported.
  • Geometric Mean Titers Against Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella Following One Dose of MMRV Vaccine.
    • Time Frame: 6 weeks post vaccination
    • The GMTs directed against measles, mumps, rubella and varicella, following one dose of MMRV vaccine (at 12 months) when given concomitantly with MenACWY-CRM vaccine compared to when MMRV vaccine was given alone, are reported.
  • Percentages of Subjects Showing Seroconversion Response to Varicella Following Concomitant Administration of MMRV With MenACWY-CRM Vaccine.
    • Time Frame: 6 weeks post vaccination
    • The percentages of subjects showing seroconversion response to varicella after concomitant administration of MMRV vaccine (at 12 months) with MenACWY-CRM vaccine compared to when MMRV vaccine is given alone, is reported . Seroconversion for varicella is defined as percentage of subjects who show pre-vaccination antibody titer <1.25 gp ELISA units/mL to a post-vaccination antibody titer ≥1.25 gp ELISA units/mL.
  • Percentages of Subjects With hSBA ≥1:4 and hSBA ≥1:8 Following One Dose of MenACWY-CRM Vaccine
    • Time Frame: 1 month post vaccine dose 1
    • The percentages of subjects with hSBA ≥1:4 and hSBA ≥1:8 after one dose of MenACWY-CRM vaccine (at 7-9 months), are reported
  • Geometric Mean Titers After One Dose of MenACWY-CRM Vaccine
    • Time Frame: 1 month post vaccine dose 1
    • The immunogenicity of one dose of MenACWY-CRM vaccine given at 7 to 9 months of age was assessed in terms of GMTs directed against N.meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.
  • Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Events After Vaccination
    • Time Frame: upto 7 days after any vaccination
    • Safety and tolerability of MenACWY-CRM and MMRV vaccines when given concomitantly compared to when either MenACWY-CRM or MMRV vaccine was administered alone is reported in terms of the number of subjects with local and systemic adverse events after vaccination. Systemic reactions including axillary temperature reported during 28 days after vaccination at 12 months of age. These included the following systemic reactions: Measles-like rash, Rubella-like rash, Varicellalike rash, injection site rash, Mumps-like symptoms and axillary temperature.
  • Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events After Vaccination
    • Time Frame: Day 1- Day 180 (Through out the study)
    • The safety profile of MenACWY-CRM and MMRV vaccines when given concomitantly as compared to when MenACWY-CRM or MMRV was given alone is reported in terms of number of subjects reporting unsolicited adverse events (AEs), medically significant adverse events and serious adverse events (SAEs) after vaccination.
