Brief Summary  

This is a randomized, single blind, parallel group, multicentre, non-inferiority phase II / III clinical trial to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Varicella vaccine (Live Attenuated, Freeze-dried, IP) of M/s Cadila Healthcare Limited compared to Variped Vaccine Live I.P. (Oka / Merck strain, Manufactured by Merck (USA) in healthy paediatric subjects aged 1-12 years. Two hundred and fifty six subjects will be randomized to receive either Varicella vaccine (Live Attenuated, Freeze-dried, IP) of M/s Cadila Healthcare Limited or Variped Vaccine Live I.P. (Oka / Merck strain, Manufactured by Merck (USA) according to the centralized computer generated randomization plan. A pre vaccination and a post vaccination (day 42) blood sample will be collected to determine IgG antibody titres to Varicella Zoster virus using gpELISA kit manufactured by The Binding Site Group Ltd, UK (VaccZymeTM). The primary efficacy end point will be the Geometric mean titre of IgG antibodies to Varicella Zoster virus in the two groups at the end of the study. The safety of the vaccine will be assessed by recording the adverse events occurring during the entire course of the study. The study will be conducted in sequential manner wherein subject aged >6-12 years will be enrolled before subjects aged 1-6 years.
