About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Safety and Tolerability Study of Live Pentavalent Human-Bovine Reassortant Rotavirus Vaccine in Chinese Healthy Adults, Children and Infants

This study will assess the safety and tolerability of RotaTeq™ (V260) in the healthy Chinese populations. Approximately 144 participants will be enrolled and equally stratified into three age cohorts, Cohort I ages 19-47 years, Cohort II ages 2-6 years, and Cohort III ages 6-12 weeks. Randomization ratio is 1:1 in each cohort. The study will be conducted sequentially, participants in Cohort I then Cohort II receiving 1 dose of, and then participants in Cohort III receiving 3 doses of RotaTeq™/placebo. The primary investigator and the Ethics Review Committee will review blinded safety data and make decision based on their best clinical judgment to move study forward between cohorts. Duration for the entire study will be approximately 6-9 months.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Rotavirus Vaccine, Live, Oral, PentavalentBiological

    Also called V260, RotaTeq™

    Single 2.0 mL dose V260 (RotaTeq™) administered orally at enrollment.

    The 2-mL vaccine consists of an oral solution of 5 live human-bovine reassortant rotaviruses.

  • Comparator: PlaceboBiological

    Single 2.0 mL dose of matching placebo to RotaTeq™ administered orally at enrollment.

  • Rotavirus Vaccine, Live, Oral, PentavalentBiological

    Also called V260, RotaTeq™.

    Three 2.0 mL doses of RotaTeq™ administered orally at 3 separate visits scheduled 28 to 70 days apart. The third dose was administered by 32 weeks of age.

    The 2-mL vaccine consists of an oral solution of 5 live human-bovine reassortant rotaviruses.

  • Comparator: PlaceboBiological

    Three 2.0 mL doses of matching placebo to RotaTeq™ administered orally at 3 separate visits scheduled 28 to 70 days apart. The third dose was administered by 32 weeks of age.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events

    All serious adverse events (SAEs) were collected for 14 days following each dose to obtain the number of participants with serious adverse events.

    Measured: up to 14 days post vaccination

  2. Number of Serious Adverse Events

    The total number of serious adverse experiences (events) in participants up to 14 days post vaccination.

    Measured: 14 days post vaccination

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Infants With Fecal Vaccine Virus Shedding

    Fecal shedding of vaccine rotavirus in Cohort III (infants) was evaluated by determining the number of participants whose stool was positive by both (1) the Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (EIA) to detect the rotavirus antigen, and (2) PCR VP6 Genotyping (a polymerase chain reaction assay specific for rotavirus genome 6, coding for the VP6 protein of the vaccine virus). For analysis, two stool samples were collected per participant on separate days between Day 3 and Day 7 following each vaccination dose.

    Measured: Between Day 3 and Day 7 following each of 3 doses of RotaTeq™/placebo

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Rotavirus Vaccine, Live, Oral, Pentavalent in people with Rotavirus Gastroenteritis, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 2 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Apr 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (time frame: up to 14 days post vaccination). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 2 Nov 2015.
