Verifying Antibodies After Live Immunization Delivery (VALID): A Study of Measles Vaccine Immunogenicity in Children With Sickle Cell Disease

Study on measles vaccine response in children with sickle cell disease.

Recruiting
6-6 years
All
Phase N/A

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a condition that affects the shape of red blood cells. This study is checking if children with SCD develop enough protection after getting the measles vaccine. Infants with SCD who are due for this vaccine will be contacted. Some will be checked after their first vaccine (MV1) and others after their second (MV2).

Blood samples will be taken before the vaccine and then again 4 and 8 weeks later. This will help researchers understand how well the vaccine works in these children.

  • The study involves taking blood samples before and after the measles vaccine.
  • Children between 6 months and 6 years old with SCD who need the measles vaccine can join.
  • Participants should not have other conditions that prevent them from getting live vaccines, like AIDS or cancer.

Participating means you will need to visit the study location for evaluations and follow-up visits. It's important to understand that this study is focused on safety and effectiveness of the vaccine for kids with SCD.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
