What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Seroconverted Subjects for Serum Anti-rotavirus Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Antibody.

    Seroconversion is defined as the appearance of IgA antibody concentration equal to or above (≥) 20 Units per millilitre (U/mL) in the serum of subjects who were seronegative before vaccination. A seronegative subject is a subject with anti-rotavirus IgA antibody concentration below (<) 20 U/mL.

    Measured: 2 months post-Dose 2 (at study Month 4)

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

    Concentrations were expressed as geometric mean antibody concentration in units per millilitre (U/mL), calculated on all subjects.

    Measured: 2 months post-Dose 2 (at study Month 4)

  2. Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited General Symptoms.

    Solicited general symptoms assessed were cough, diarrhoea, irritability, loss of appetite, temperature (any temperature was defined as a tympanic on rectal setting temperature ≥ 38.0 degrees Celsius) and vomiting.

    Measured: During the 8-day (Days 0-7) post-vaccination period

  3. Number of Subjects With Rotavirus (RV) Present in the Gastroenteritis (GE) Stool Sample.

    RV was not identified in the one GE stool sample collected in the study. Two subjects reported GE episode between vaccination Dose 1 and before vaccination Dose 2. For one of them, GE stool sample was not collected and for the other subject no RV was identified in the GE stool sample.

    GE symptoms were defined as diarrhoea with or without vomiting. A GE stool sample was collected as soon as possible after the illness began by the parent/guardian of the subject. Presence of RV antigen was detected by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

    Measured: From Day 0 (first vaccine dose) to study Month 4 (2 months post-Dose 2)

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

    An unsolicited adverse event is any adverse event (i.e. any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product) 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: Within the 31-day (Days 0-30) follow-up period after vaccination

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

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

    Measured: During the entire study period (from Dose 1 at Day 0 up to Month 4)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rotarix TM in people with Infections, Rotavirus, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 14 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 20 Aug 2018. 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 Taiwan. 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 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 17 Apr 2012). 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 Seroconverted Subjects for Serum Anti-rotavirus Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Antibody. (time frame: 2 months post-Dose 2 (at study Month 4)). 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 NCT01198769, 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 20 Aug 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
