About this study

Official title: A Placebo-controlled, Multi-country & Multi-center Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety & Immunogenicity of 2 Doses of GSK Biologicals' Oral Live Attenuated Human Rotavirus (HRV) Vaccine in Healthy Infants

The main objectives of this study are: 1) In a subset (N = 20 000), to determine vaccine efficacy against severe rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis (GE) during the period starting from 2 weeks after Dose 2 until one year of age. 2) In all subjects (N = 60 000), to determine the safety of GSK Biologicals' HRV vaccine with respect to definite intussusception (IS) within 31 days (Day 0-Day 30) after each HRV vaccine dose.

Read the detailed description

The study has two groups: Group HRV and Group Placebo. Two oral doses administered to healthy infants who are 6-13 weeks of age at the time of Dose 1, according to a 0, 1 to 2-month schedule. Routine EPI vaccinations are given at the discretion of the investigator and according to local National Plans of Immunisation schedule in each participating country. A minimum 2-week interval was to be observed between HRV vaccine and OPV doses. Of the total enrolled cohort of 60 000 subjects, 20 000 subjects were followed for efficacy and safety until one year of age while 40 000 subjects were followed for safety only until 30-90 days after the second HRV/placebo dose. A subset (N = approximately 13 000) of the 20 000 subjects are followed for efficacy and safety until 24 months of age. From the 20 000 subjects followed for efficacy and safety, a subset of 100 subjects per country (center specific, except Finland) provided two blood sample to evaluate immunogenicity.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 1. Occurrence of severe RV GE caused by the wild RV strains during the period starting from 2 weeks after Dose 2 until one year of age. 2. Occurrence of definite IS cases within 31 days (Day 0 -Day 30) after each HRV vaccination dose.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Severe RV GE by wild-type G1, non-G1, each non-G1, 11 score after Dose 2 and Dose 1 until 1-year old.

  2. Severe RV GE in subset during the 2nd year and both years.

  3. SAEs.

  4. Definite IS until 1-year old and 2-years old.

  5. Serum anti-RV IgA at Visits 1 and 3 (subset/country except Finland).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Rotavirus in people with Infections, Rotavirus, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 17 sites in 12 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and 7 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

1. Occurrence of severe RV GE caused by the wild RV strains during the period starting from 2 weeks after Dose 2 until one year of age. 2. Occurrence of definite IS cases within 31 days (Day 0 -Day 30) after each HRV vaccination dose.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00140673, which also lists 13 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Dec 2019.
