Disposable-Syringe Jet Injector for Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine (DSJI MMR) study
ISRCTN ISRCTN04280032
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title Disposable-Syringe Jet Injector for Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine (DSJI MMR) study
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
Serial number at source Asclin/002/2009
Study hypothesis Immunogenicity of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine administered by needle free device is non inferior to that induced by needle and syringe.

Target number of participants 582 children
Interventions 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.
Primary outcome measure(s) Antibody titres 42 days after vaccination: cut offs for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) 231 units/mL (mumps) and 4 IU/mL for rubella. Plaque reduction neutralisation test (PRNT) for measles, cut off 0.20 IU/mL.
Secondary outcome measure(s) Local and systemic adverse events during 42 days after vaccination
