Table 2.

Non-inferiority of MMR-RIT vaccine compared to MMR II in terms of anti-measles, anti-mumps and anti-rubella adjusted geometric mean antibody concentrations at Day 42 (ATP cohort for immunogenicity).

  Adjusted GMC
 
Antibody MMR-RIT (N = 432) MMR II (N = 435) Adjusted GMC ratio (MMR-RIT GMC/MMR II GMC) Ratio (95% CI)
Anti-measles (mIU/mL) 1790.2 1781.5 1.00 (0.91, 1.11)
Anti-mumps (EU/mL) 113.5 107.8 1.05 (0.96, 1.16)
Anti-rubella (IU/mL) 76.1 74.6 1.02 (0.93, 1.11)

ATP, according-to-protocol; GMC, geometric mean concentration; N, number of participants with both pre- and post-vaccination results available; CI, confidence interval.

a

The two-sided 95% CI for the adjusted GMC ratio was obtained using an ANCOVA model on the logarithm-transformed concentrations including the vaccine group as fixed effect, gender, age and country groups as continuous effects, and the pre-vaccination log-transformed concentration as regressor.

Bolded values indicate lower limit of the two-sided 95% confidence interval ≥0.67 (i.e., criterion for non-inferiority of MMR-RIT over MMR II in terms of GMCs).
