| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The first primary objective is to demonstrate that a 2-dose regimen of ProQuad® rHA administered at a 3-month interval to healthy childrenof 11 months of age at the time of Dose 1 is as immunogenic as in healthy children of 12 months of age at the time of Dose 1, in terms of antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella and varicella at Day 42 following Dose 2. The second primary objective, only if the first primary objective is reached, is similar to the first one at 9 months of age. To demonstrate that a 2-dose regimen of ProQuad® rHA administered at a 3-month interval to healthy children of 11 months of age and 9 months of age at the time of Dose 1 is well tolerated compared to healthy children of 12 months of age at the time of Dose 1. ;Secondary Objective: To describe the antibody titres to measles, mumps, rubella and varicella at Day 42 following Dose 1 and Dose 2 of ProQuad® rHA administered to healthy children from 9 months of age. To evaluate the safety profile of Dose 1 and Dose 2 of ProQuad® rHA administered to healthy children from 9 months of age. ;Primary end point(s): The primary immunogenicity endpoints will be the antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella and varicella measured at Day 42 following Dose 2 (Blood sample 3). - The response rate for measles is the percentage of subjects with measles antibody titres ³255 mIU/mL. - The response rate for mumps is the percentage of subjects with mumps antibody titres ³10.0 ELISA Ab units/mL. - The response rate for rubella is the percentage of subjects with rubella antibody titres ³10.0 IU/mL. - The response rate for varicella is the percentage of subjects with varicella antibody titres ³5 gpELISA units/mL. | — |
