Phase 3, open-label, Russian, multicenter, single-arm trial to evaluate the immunogenicity of varicella vaccine (VARIVAX™) in healthy infants, children, and adolescents.

Varicella (chickenpox) is a common, highly contagious disease caused by primary infection with varicella zoster virus (VZV), which can result in bacterial superinfection, central nervous system complications, and hospitalization. Stage 2 of this Phase 3 open-label study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03843632) enrolled 100 healthy infants, children, and adolescents (12 months-6 years, n = 37; 7-12 years, n = 33; 13-17 years, n = 30) without a clinical history of varicella.

Phase 3, open-label, Russian, multicenter, single-arm trial to evaluate the immunogenicity of varicella vaccine (VARIVAX™) in healthy adults.

Varicella (chickenpox) is a common, highly contagious disease caused by primary infection with varicella zoster virus (VZV). Adults typically experience more severe symptoms than children and have a higher risk of developing complications. Stage 1 of this Phase 3 open-label study enrolled healthy adults in Russia aged 18-75 years without a clinical history of varicella infection.

Safety and efficacy of suvorexant during 1-year treatment of insomnia with subsequent abrupt treatment discontinuation: a phase 3 randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Background: Suvorexant (MK-4305) is an orexin receptor antagonist shown to be efficacious for insomnia over 3 months. We aimed to assess its clinical profile during and after 1 year of treatment.

Methods: We did a randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial at 106 investigational centres in the Americas, Australia, Europe, and South Africa from December, 2009, to August, 2011.
