Study information

Study designMulticentre, open, non-controlled, sequential by age group, parallel trial.
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designNon randomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typePrevention
Scientific title
Study objectivesRespiratory administration of live measles vaccine closely mimics the natural route of measles infection. It is already established that current measles vaccines are more effective or equivalent in inducing antibody production when delivered by nebulisation compared to when delivered parenterally. Maternal antibody interference might be avoided or mucosal immunity might be enhanced. No increase in adverse side effects of respiratory administration has been noted compared to current injection practice. Aerosol delivery devices are available or being developed and could be used by lay people with limited training. Administration of the current measles vaccine via the respiratory route should now be comprehensively studied to achieve licensure for international use.
Ethics approval(s)Approved by the:
1. Research Ethics Review Committee (ERC) of the World Health Organization on the 4th April 2006
2. Health Ministry Screening Committee (HMSC) of the Ministry of Health (India) on the 17th January 2006
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMeasles infection
InterventionAttenuated measles aerosol vaccine administrated via the following devices:
1. Omron's nebuliser
2. Aerogen's clinical nebuliser
3. Trudell's nebuliser
