Study information
Scientific title
A randomised, non-inferiority study comparing safety and immunogenicity of a disposable-syringe jet injector to needle and syringe for the administration of measles-mumps-rubella combination vaccine to healthy Brazilian infants aged 12 to 18 months
Acronym
DSJI/MMR
Study hypothesis
Immunogenicity of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine administered by needle free device is non inferior to that induced by needle and syringe.
Ethics approval
Approved on 4th April 2010 by:
1. PATH REC (ref: 499)

Condition
Measles, mumps and rubella vaccination
Intervention
MMR vaccine, against measles, mumps and rubella (Schwarz, RIT 4385 and Wistar RA 27/3 strains, respectively), to be administered as a single 0.5 mL dose, subcutaneously, delivered by a needle-free device (experimental group) or by the conventional needle and syringe method (control group), in a 2:1 proportion,
that is, 388 volunteers allocated to the experimental group and 194 to the control group. Volunteers will be followed-up for 42 days after vaccination. Blood collections for immunogenicity before vaccination and 42 days after vaccination. Adverse events will be registered in diary cards by parents/guardians during this period.
