Trial summary

The goals of this study are to see what effects the introduction of RV5(RotaTeq) vaccine has had in the community both on the number of rotavirus-associated hospitalizations and on the strains of rotavirus circulating in the community. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Rotavirus Gastroenteritis and Vaccine Usage in Rhode Island: Active Hospital-Based Surveillance, Serotype Surveillance and a Case-Control Study

The goals of this study are to see what effects the introduction of RV5(RotaTeq) vaccine has had in the community both on the number of rotavirus-associated hospitalizations and on the strains of rotavirus circulating in the community. The investigators will use cases of rotavirus gastroenteritis identified on the wards at Hasbro Children's Hospital during the 2007-2009 rotavirus seasons for a case-control study to estimate rotavirus vaccine effectiveness in preventing rotavirus-associated hospitalizations. The investigators plan to assess rotavirus vaccine coverage in Rhode Island using the state vaccine registry and to examine whether and to what extent rotavirus vaccine was used outside the recommended age limits (off label) during the first 2 years of its implementation in Rhode Island. Finally using the state child health database, KIDSNET the investigators plan to investigate the reasons that children may not have received rotavirus vaccine in order to better target educational efforts for parents and health care providers.

Read the detailed description

The goals of this study, conducted after the introduction of RV5 (RotaTeq) vaccine in the community, are: 1) to use a case-control study to estimate rotavirus vaccine effectiveness in preventing rotavirus-associated hospitalizations under field conditions, 2) to assess rotavirus vaccine coverage and to examine whether and to what extent rotavirus vaccine was used outside the recommended age limits (off label) during the first 2 years of its implementation in Rhode Island and 3) to investigate risk factors for non-receipt of rotavirus vaccine to inform educational efforts for parents and providers, and 4) to characterize the strains of rotavirus circulating in the community both prior to and after introduction of vaccine to determine if serotype replacement is occurring.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01026779
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cases of rotavirus gastroenteritisPatients will be eligible as cases if they have been identified by the investigator's ongoing rotavirus surveillance studies as having been hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed rotavirus gastroenteritis between January 1, 2007 and June 31, 2009. To be eligible as a case, the child must meet the following criteria: 1) immunocompetent; 2) born after April 15, 2006 (to select a population that would have been in the age group eligible for at least 1 dose of RV5 (RotaTeq); and 3) > 2 months of age on the day of admission.
Control SubjectsThree controls for each case will be identified using KIDSNET, the state child health registry. Controls will be matched to cases by age and county of residence at birth.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rotavirus Gastroenteritis, run by Lifespan at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 14 Nov 2019. 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 United States. 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?

Rotavirus vaccine effectiveness in preventing rotavirus-associated hospitalizations (time frame: 2007-2009). 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 14 Nov 2019.
