About this study

Official title: Post-Authorization Safety Study (PASS) of Post-Marketing Surveillance for Intussusception Following Rotarix™ Introduction Into the Instituto Mexicano Del Seguro Social (IMSS) in Mexico

GSK Biologicals' rotavirus vaccine, Rotarix™ has been recommended for universal use targeting infants through the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) in Mexico. This protocol describes a Phase IV safety study in Mexico designed to further evaluate the safety profile of Rotarix™ with regard to intussusception (IS). The data generated by this study will be useful for public health officers and policy makers in confirming the safety profile of Rotarix™.

Read the detailed description

Rationale for amendment 3:

The findings from the first year of the implementation of the active surveillance showed that most Lower Respiratory Tract-Related Post-Neonatal (LRTI) Mortality cases could not be included into the study, because most of the grieving parents refused to participate in the study. The European Medicines Agency Marketing Authorization Holders (EMEA MAH) also generated a substantial amount of additional clinical and post-marketing safety data throughout the world, which clearly indicated the absence of any safety signal when considering the LTRI-related fatalities. Therefore surveillance for LRTI mortality cases was removed from the study design. The number of sites was reduced from approximately 230 to about 60 to 90 in order to reflect the above mentioned change that reduced the need for so many sites. Additionally, passive surveillance for IS cases through the IMSS database was not feasible, due to restrictions of the IMSS internal policies and to the current limitations in the databases linkage and structure abilities.

Lastly, SAEs reporting procedures had to be adjusted according to the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) Working Group V, 2001 publication such that there will be no expedited safety reporting for this study.

Design This is a post marketing ,Phase IV, observational, prospective, self-controlled case series, vaccine safety study including: a) hospital-based surveillance to monitor for the occurrence of IS through active surveillance; b) a self-controlled case series (SCCS) design/analysis to assess the temporal association with Rotarix™ of the IS ascertained through active surveillance.

The aim of the active hospital-based surveillance system is to identify all definite IS cases in children younger than one year of age (children ineligible on day of first birthday) among IMSS members. Surveillance will be conducted in approximately 60 to 90 IMSS health facilities with pediatric surgery service.

Study participation for children fitting the surveillance case definition of IS will include parental/guardian/legal representative interview, as well as a review of medical charts and vaccination records. Additional medical information will be collected through medical record review during hospitalization and after the child has been discharged.

What is being measured

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

  1. Occurrence of definite IS episodes within Day 0 to Day 30 following vaccination

    Measured: 0- 30 days following Rotarix vaccination

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Occurrence of definite IS episodes within Day 0 to Day 15 following vaccination

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 15 post Rotarix vaccination

  2. Yearly occurrence of definite IS episodes (regardless of vaccination status)

    Measured: Assessed for the interim analysis and after study conclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intussusception (IS) and Rotavirus Vaccines, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Mexico.

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 6 inclusion and 1 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 19 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Mexico. 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.

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?

Occurrence of definite IS episodes within Day 0 to Day 30 following vaccination (time frame: 0- 30 days following Rotarix vaccination). 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 NCT00595205, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Mar 2012.
