What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects Seroconverted for Anti-rotavirus Immunoglobulin A

    Seroconversion is defined as the appearance of antibodies with concentrations greater than or equal to 20 units per milliliter (U/mL) in the serum of subjects seronegative before vaccination.

    Measured: One month after the second vaccine dose

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Serum Anti-rotavirus Immunoglobulin A Antibody Concentrations

    Concentrations are given as Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs). Note: In the Placebo Group the value was below the assay cut-off (20 units per milliliter).

    Measured: One month after the second vaccine dose

  2. Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited Symptoms

    Solicited symptoms assessed include cough, diarrhoea, irritability, loss of appetite , fever and vomiting.

    Measured: During the 8-day (Day 0 - Day 7) follow-up period after each vaccine dose.

  3. Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    Unsolicited AE covers any AE reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms.

    Measured: During the 31-day (Day 0 - Day 30) follow-up period after each vaccine dose

  4. Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.

    Measured: Throughout the study period (2-3 months).

  5. Number of Subjects Reporting Rotavirus Gastroenteritis Episode(s)

    Measured: From Dose 1 up to 1 month after Dose 2.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rotarix ™ in people with Infections, Rotavirus and Rotavirus Vaccines, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 18 sites in South Korea.

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 12 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 18 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in South Korea. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 28 Nov 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 Subjects Seroconverted for Anti-rotavirus Immunoglobulin A (time frame: One month after the second vaccine 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 NCT00969228, which also lists 3 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 18 Jan 2020.
