A Study on the Safety of an Investigational Chickenpox Vaccine, When Given to Healthy Children, 12 to 15 Months of Age

What this study is about

The purpose of this study is to assess how well-tolerated GSK's experimental varicella vaccine (VNS Vaccine) is, in comparison to an already approved varicella vaccine (VV) known as Varivax. The study will be conducted on healthy children aged 12 to 15 months, and who have neither contracted varicella nor received a varicella vaccination.

  • Planned administration of a vaccine in the period starting 30 days before the dose and ending 43 days after the dose of study interventions administration (Visit 2), with the exception of inactivated influenza vaccine which may be given at any time during the study and administered at a different location than the study interventions. Any other age-appropriate vaccine may be given starting at Visit 2 and anytime thereafter.

  • Up to 90 days prior to the study intervention administration:
  • For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone equivalent \>= 0.5 mg/kg/day with maximum of 20 mg/day for pediatric participants. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.
  • Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products or plasma derivatives.
  • Up to 180 days prior to study interventions administration: long acting immune modifying drugs including among others immunotherapy (e.g., tumor necrosis factor-inhibitors), monoclonal antibodies (except the ones not interfering with the immune response to the study vaccines, e.g., nirsevimab), antitumoral medication.
  • Previous vaccination against measles, mumps, and rubella.
  • Previous vaccination against hepatitis A virus.

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
