About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Protective Efficacy of Three Doses of Oral Rotavirus Vaccine (ORV) 116E, Against Severe Rotavirus Gastroenteritis in Infants

The trial is a phase III randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with the primary objective of evaluating the efficacy of three doses of ORV 116E, 10^5.0 FFU, against severe rotavirus gastroenteritis, in comparison with a placebo in India.

Read the detailed description

The trial is a phase III randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with the primary objective of evaluating the efficacy of three doses of ORV 116E, 10^5.0 FFU, against severe rotavirus gastroenteritis, in comparison with a placebo in India. The clinical trial is not a global trial. Three administrations of ORV 116E will be co-administered with childhood vaccines (which will include vaccines against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, Haemophilus influenzae B and Hepatitis B and OPV) at 6 to 7 weeks, greater than or equal to 10 weeks and greater than or equal to 14 weeks of age. 6800 subjects will be enrolled in three sites - Delhi, Pune (Maharashtra) and Vellore (Tamil Nadu) and followed up till the age of 2 years (24 months + up to 14 days). Multiple trial sites are included to ensure greater demographic distribution to obtain evidence of cross immunity and quicker recruitment of the necessary number of subjects. The subjects to be included from these sites would be representative of the population of India.

The protocol has been reviewed by the institutional review boards of the Society for Applied Studies (New Delhi), KEM Hospital Research Centre (Pune), Christian Medical College (Vellore). Ethics clearance has also been obtained from the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India and Western Institutional Review Board.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ORV 116E in people with Viral Gastroenteritis Due to Rotavirus, run by Bharat Biotech International Limited at 3 sites in India.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in India. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Efficacy against severe rotavirus gastroenteritis (>=11 on the 20 point Vesikari scoring scale) caused by non vaccine rotavirus (time frame: Up to 2 years of age). 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 NCT01305109, which also lists 2 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 12 Jun 2012.
