About this study

Official title: Immunogenicity and Safety Study of Two Formulations of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' Human Rotavirus (HRV) Vaccine (444563), in Healthy Infants Starting at Age 6-12 Weeks

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical consistency of three production lots of the Porcine circovirus (PCV)-free liquid formulation of oral live attenuated human rotavirus (HRV) vaccine and to evaluate the PCV-free liquid formulation of HRV vaccine as compared to the currently licensed lyophilised formulation of the HRV vaccine in terms of immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety when administered as a two-dose vaccination in healthy infants starting at age 6-12 weeks. No new subjects will be enrolled in the extension phase of the study.

Read the detailed description
  • Experimental design: Phase IIIA, observer-blind, randomised (1:1:1:1), controlled, multi-centric, with four parallel groups and a staggered enrolment (Part A and Part B).
  • Duration of the study: The intended duration of the study, per subject, will be approximately 7-8 months including the 6 months of extended safety follow-up period after the last dose of HRV vaccine.
  • Epoch 001: Primary starting at Visit 1 (Day 0) and ending at the safety follow-up contact (Month 7-8).
  • Primary completion Date (PCD): Visit 3 (Month 2-4).
  • End of Study (EoS): Last testing results released of samples collected at Visit 3 or Last Subject Last Visit (LSLV) (Follow up contact at month 7-8).
  • Study Groups:
  • PCV-free HRV liquid formulation lot A (also referred to as Liq_A Group)
  • PCV-free HRV liquid formulation lot B (also referred to as Liq_B Group)
  • PCV-free HRV liquid formulation lot C (also referred to as Liq_C Group)
  • GSK Biologicals' currently licensed lyophilised HRV formulation (also referred to as Lyo Group)
  • Control:active control-GSK Biologicals' currently licensed lyophilised HRV vaccine
  • Vaccination schedule: Two doses of HRV vaccine to be administered according to a 0, 1-2 month schedule according to the immunisation schedule for RV vaccine.

Note that as a result of internal change in data standards terminology, the study data collected was converted to cDISC and the statistical analysis plan was amended accordingly. "Day 0" in the study design was replaced by "Day 1"; consequently, "Day n" was replaced by "Day n+1". Thus, the time frames (Day 0, Day n) of Outcome Measures described in this study record are different to that denoted in the full protocol document posted.

What is being measured

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

  1. Anti-Rota Virus (Anti-RV) Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Antibody Concentrations in the Human Rotavirus (HRV) Liquid Formulation Groups (Liq_A, Liq_B and Liq_C)

    Antibody concentrations against Rota Virus (RV) were determined as Geometric Mean Antibody Concentration (GMC) and expressed as Units per milliliter (U/mL).

    Measured: At Month 2-4 (i.e. approximately 1-month or 2-months after second dose of HRV vaccine according to the immunisation schedule for RV vaccine administration in participating countries)

  2. Percentage of Seroconverted Subjects With RV Antibody Concentrations Above or Equal to Cut-off Value in Porcine Circovirus (PCV) -Free Liquid HRV Vaccine (Pooled HRV Liquid Group) and Control Group

    Seroconversion rate (SCR) was defined as the percentage of subjects who were initially seronegative (i.e., with anti-RV IgA antibody concentration less than (<) 20 U/mL before the first dose of HRV vaccine) and developed anti-RV IgA antibody concentration greater than or equal to (≥) 20 U/mL at Month 2-4 (1-2 months after dose 2). SCR was analysed using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).

    For this outcome measure, the three groups (Liq_A, Liq_B \& Liq_C) were pooled into a single group (Liq_Pool group) as they all received PCV free-liquid HRV vaccine, and as pre-specified in the protocol, the immunological non-inferiority of the Liq_Pool group was compared to the currently licensed lyophilized HRV vaccine (Lyo_Control group) in terms of seroconversion rates of 1-2 months after Dose 2.

    Measured: At Month 2-4 (i.e. approximately 1-month or 2-months after second dose of HRV vaccine according to the immunisation schedule for RV vaccine administration in participating countries)

  3. Percentage of Seroconverted Subjects With RV Antibody Concentrations Above or Equal to 20 U/mL in Porcine Circovirus (PCV)-Free Liquid HRV Vaccine (Individual HRV Liquid Groups) and Lyophilised Control Group

    Seroconversion rate (SCR) was defined as the percentage of subjects who were initially seronegative (i.e., with anti-RV IgA antibody concentration less than (<) 20 U/mL before the first dose of HRV vaccine) and developed anti-RV IgA antibody concentration greater than or equal to (≥) 20 U/mL at Month 2-4 (1-2 months after dose 2). SCR was analysed using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).

    The analysis was assessed to demonstrate the immunogenicity of PCV-free liquid HRV vaccine as compared to the currently licensed lyophilised HRV vaccine (individual HRV liquid groups) in terms of seroconversion rates 1-2 months after Dose 2.

    Measured: At Month 2-4 (i.e. approximately 1-month or 2-months after second dose of HRV vaccine according to the immunisation schedule for RV vaccine administration in participating countries)

  4. Anti-RV IgA Antibody Concentrations in the PCV-free Liquid HRV Vaccine (Pooled HRV Liquid Group) and Lyophilised Control Group

    Antibody concentrations against RV were determined as GMCs and expressed as U/mL.

    For this outcome measure, the three groups (Liq_A, Liq_B \& Liq_C) were pooled into a single group (Liq_Pool group) as they all received PCV free-liquid HRV vaccine, and as pre-specified in the protocol, the immunological non-inferiority of the Liq_Pool group was compared to the currently licensed lyophilized HRV vaccine (Lyo_Control group) in terms of antibody concentrations at 1-2 months after Dose 2.

    Measured: At Month 2-4 (i.e. approximately 1-month or 2-months after second dose of HRV vaccine according to the immunisation schedule for RV vaccine administration in participating countries)

  5. Anti-RV IgA Antibody Concentrations in the PCV-free Liquid HRV Vaccine (Individual HRV Liquid Groups) and Lyophilised Control Group

    Antibody concentrations against RV were determined as GMCs and expressed as U/mL. The analysis was assessed to demonstrate the immunogenicity of the PCV-free liquid HRV vaccine (individual HRV liquid groups) to that of the currently licensed lyophilised HRV vaccine in terms of serum anti-RV IgA antibody concentrations 1-2 months after Dose 2.

    Measured: At Month 2-4 (i.e. approximately 1-month or 2-months after second dose of HRV vaccine according to the immunisation schedule for RV vaccine administration in participating countries)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Percentage of Subjects With Anti-RV IgA Concentrations (Pooled HRV Liquid Group)

    Antibody concentrations ≥90 U/mL were determined and expressed as GMCs, assessed for the pooled HRV liquid groups and Control Group. The GMC calculations were performed by taking the anti-log of the mean of the log concentration transformations.

    For this outcome measure, the three groups (Liq_A, Liq_B \& Liq_C) were pooled into a single group (Liq_Pool group) as they all received PCV free-liquid HRV vaccine, and as pre-specified in the protocol, the immunogenicity of the Liq_Pool group was compared to the currently licensed lyophilized HRV vaccine (Lyo_Control group) in terms of percentage of subjects with anti-RV IgA antibody concentrations ≥ 90 U/mL, 1-2 months after Dose 2

    Measured: At Month 2-4 (i.e. approximately 1-month or 2-months after second dose of HRV vaccine according to the immunisation schedule for RV vaccine administration in participating countries)

  2. Percentage of Subjects With Anti-RV IgA Concentrations (Individual HRV Liquid Groups)

    Antibody concentrations ≥90 U/mL were determined and expressed as GMCs, assessed for the individual HRV liquid groups and Control Group. The GMC calculations were performed by taking the anti-log of the mean of the log concentration transformations. The analysis was performed to assess the immunogenicity of the PCV-free liquid HRV vaccine (pooled HRV liquid groups) and the currently licensed lyophilised HRV vaccine, in terms of percentage of subjects with anti-RV IgA antibody concentrations ≥ 90 U/mL 1-2 months after Dose 2.

    Measured: At Month 2-4 (i.e. approximately 1-month or 2-months after second dose of HRV vaccine according to the immunisation schedule for RV vaccine administration in participating countries)

  3. Number of Subjects With Any Solicited General Adverse Events (AEs).

    Assessed solicited general AEs were cough/runny nose, diarrhea, fever (defined as temperature ≥ 38.0°C), irritability/fussiness, loss of appetite and vomiting. Any solicited general AE is defined as any occurrence of the specified symptom, irrespective of intensity grade and relationship to vaccination.

    Measured: During the 8 days (Day 1 to Day 8) follow-up period after each dose of HRV vaccine

  4. Number of Subjects With Any Unsolicited AEs.

    An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Any is defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE irrespective of its intensity grade and relationship to vaccination.

    Measured: During the 31 day (Day 1 to Day 31) follow-up period after HRV vaccination across doses

  5. Number of Subjects With Any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    SAEs assessed include any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in death, were life-threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization or resulted in disability/incapacity.

    Measured: During the entire study period (Day 1 to Month 7-8)

The record lists 66 sites in United States, Finland, Spain, Japan, Germany and 3 more countries. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Oct 2019). 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?

Anti-Rota Virus (Anti-RV) Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Antibody Concentrations in the Human Rotavirus (HRV) Liquid Formulation Groups (Liq_A, Liq_B and Liq_C) (time frame: At Month 2-4 (i.e. approximately 1-month or 2-months after second dose of HRV vaccine according to the immunisation schedule for RV vaccine administration in participating countries)). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02914184, 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?
