About this study

This will be a randomized study with the primary objective of assessing the impact of withholding versus encouraging breastfeeding on the immunogenicity of Rotarix® in infants.

Enrolled subjects will all be administered Rotarix®, at ages 6 to 7 weeks, and at10 -14 weeks. The subjects will be randomized into one of the two study arms. In one of the group caregivers will be advised to breastfeed immediately prior to and after each dose of the vaccine while in the other group caregivers will be advised to withhold breastfeeding for 30 minutes before and after each dose of the vaccine. The other childhood vaccines i.e. OPV and Pentavalent will be administered at least 30 minutes after administration of Rotarix®, The enrolled subjects will be followed up for 4 weeks after the 2nd dose of Rotarix®.

Read the detailed description

Infants ≤7 weeks and pregnant women will be identified through a household survey.Families of infants aged 6-7 weeks will be called to the study clinic for consenting, screening and enrollment.All enrolled subjects will be administered 2 doses of Rotarix® at 6 to 7 weeks and at 10-14 weeks of age. Other childhood vaccines will also be offered.

At enrollment, a blood specimen and breast milk specimen will be obtained from the mother and a blood, salivary and stool specimens will be obtained from the subject before administering the Rotarix® vaccine.

At the time of the 2nd administration, a breast milk specimen will be obtained from the mother and a salivary specimen will be obtained from the subject before administering the Rotarix® vaccine. At 28 days (±) 5 after the 2nd dose of Rotarix® vaccine, a blood, salivary and stool specimen will be obtained from the subject.

Whenever the family comes to the study clinic at 6-7 weeks, consent will be administered and a clinical examination conducted.If the family is willing for the mother and the child to be part of the study and the child meets the eligibility criteria, the child will be enrolled.

Depending on the group allocation the mothers will be advised to withhold or encourage breastfeeding for 30 minutes before and after receipt of Rotarix®.

subjects will be observed for 30 minutes after receipt of the vaccines to assess for immediate adverse events.

All minor illnesses that do not require hospital referral will be managed by the study physician using current practices.

All hospitalizations and deaths will be reported and reviewed by an Independent Safety Monitor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of subjects who seroconvert as measured by a 4-fold rise in serum anti-VP6 IgA antibodies between baseline and 4 weeks after the second dose of Rotarix®.

    Measured: 14-18 weeks of age

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Concentration of anti-VP6 antibodies in saliva of subjects before the first and second dose of Rotarix®. Proportion of subjects with enteric pathogens detected in stools. Vitamin D status of subjects enrolled in the study.

    Measured: 14-18 weeks of age

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Breastfeeding in people with Innate Immune Response, run by Society for Applied Studies at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 26 Jun 2013. 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 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?

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?

Proportion of subjects who seroconvert as measured by a 4-fold rise in serum anti-VP6 IgA antibodies between baseline and 4 weeks after the second dose of Rotarix®. (time frame: 14-18 weeks 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 NCT01700127, 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?
