Summary
This study aims to assess the immune response and safety of GSK's candidate chickenpox and marketed MMR vaccines when given to children 12 to 15 months of age via a muscle injection. It compares the GSK vaccines to Merck's chickenpox vaccine, administered just under the skin. Additionally, the study will evaluate the immune response and safety of giving the GSK vaccines along with other childhood vaccines through a muscle injection.

  1. Percentage of participants with seroresponse to Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) anti- glycoprotein E (gE) Immunoglobulin (IgG)

    Timeframe: At Day 43

    The seroresponse rate is defined as the percentage of participants for whom the post-vaccination Day 43 anti VZV gE IgG concentration is above the seroresponse threshold.

  2. Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) of anti-VZV gE IgG

    Timeframe: At Day 43

    Concentrations of anti-VZV gE IgG are presented as GMC and expressed in milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL) for each group.

  3. Percentage of participants with seroresponse to MMR antigens

    Timeframe: At Day 43

    The seroresponse rate is defined as the percentage of participants for whom the post-vaccination Day 43 anti-measles, mumps, and rubella antibody concentrations are above the seroresponse threshold.

  4. GMC of Anti-measles antibodies

    Timeframe: At Day 43

  5. GMC of Anti-mumps antibodies

    Timeframe: At Day 43

  6. GMC of Anti-rubella antibodies

    Timeframe: At Day 43

  1. Percentage of participants with seroresponse to demonstrate an acceptable immune response for IM administration of MMR vaccine

    Timeframe: At Day 43

  2. Percentage of participants with seroresponse to MMR antigens with a reduced non-inferiority margin

    Timeframe: At Day 43

  3. Percentage of participants reporting each solicited administration site events post-dose of investigational VNS vaccine or VV administration

    Timeframe: Day 1 (post-dose) to Day 4

    Solicited administration site events include injection site redness, pain, and swelling.

  4. Percentage of participants reporting each solicited administration site events post-dose of MMR vaccine administration

    Timeframe: Day 1 (post-dose) to Day 4

    Solicited administration site events include injection site redness, pain and swelling.

  5. Percentage of participants reporting each solicited systemic events post-dose of study interventions administration

    Timeframe: Day 1 (post-dose) to Day 15

    Solicited systemic events include drowsiness, loss of appetite and irritability.

  6. Percentage of participants reporting each solicited systemic event in terms of fever post-dose of study interventions administration

    Timeframe: Day 1 (post-dose) to Day 22

    Fever is defined as temperature greater than or equal (\>=) 38.0 degrees Celsius (°C) regardless of the location of measurement (the preferred location for measuring temperature is the axilla).

  7. Percentage of participants reporting each solicited administration site events post-dose of study interventions administration

    Timeframe: Day 1 (post-dose) to Day 43

    Solicited administration site events include injection site varicella-like rash.

  8. Percentage of participants reporting each solicited systemic events post-dose of study interventions administration

    Timeframe: Day 1 (post-dose) to Day 43

    Solicited systemic events includes varicella-like rash (non-injection site), measles/rubella-like rash, and general rash (not varicella like and not measles/rubella-like).

  9. Percentage of participants reporting unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs) post-dose of study interventions administration

    Timeframe: Day 1 (post-dose) to Day 43

    Unsolicited AEs include any AE reported in addition to solicited events during the study, or any "solicited" symptoms with onset outside of the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms, are assessed for each group after the administration of all vaccines. Unsolicited AEs include nonserious and serious AEs.

  10. Percentage of participants reporting medically attended AEs (MAAE) post-dose of study interventions administration

    Timeframe: Day 1 (post-dose) to Day 181 (Study end)

    A MAAE is an AE for which the participant received medical attention including any symptom or illness requiring hospitalization, or an emergency room visit, or visit to/by a healthcare professional.

  11. Percentage of participants reporting Serious AEs (SAEs) post-dose of study interventions administration

    Timeframe: Day 1 (post-dose) to Day 181 (Study end)

    A SAE is an AE which results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or other situations that are considered serious per medical or scientific judgment.

  • Participant's parent(s)/ Legally acceptable representatives (LAR[s]), who, in the opinion of the investigator, can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol (e.g., completion of the eDiaries, return for follow-up visits).

  • Written or witnessed/thumb printed informed consent obtained from the participant's parent(s)/LAR(s) prior to performance of any study-specific procedure.

  • Healthy participants as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.

  • A male or female between, and including, 12 to 15 months of age (i.e., from the day of 1-year birthday until the day before 16 months of age) at the time of the administration of study interventions.

  • Only for children in countries where PCV is recommended at 12 to 15 months of age as per national immunization schedule and provided as part of the study interventions:

    • Participant who previously received the primary series of PCV in the first year of life with last dose at least 60 days prior to the administration of study intervention.

  • History of any reaction or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component of the study interventions including hypersensitivity to neomycin or gelatin.
