Trial summary

This is a nested case-control study within an ongoing rotavirus vaccine immunogenicity trial in Karachi, Pakistan. The primary study aim is to compare the fecal microbiota composition and diversity of infants who do (control) and do not (case) demonstrate immune seroconversion to rotavirus vaccination.

About this study

Official title: Nested Case-control Analysis of the Influence of the Microbiome on Rotavirus Vaccine Immunogenic Response in Infants in Karachi, Pakistan

This is a nested case-control study within an ongoing rotavirus vaccine immunogenicity trial in Karachi, Pakistan. The primary study aim is to compare the fecal microbiota composition and diversity of infants who do (control) and do not (case) demonstrate immune seroconversion to rotavirus vaccination. The infants will be matched for vaccination dose, age and breast-feeding practices.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT03031743
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
rotavirus (Rotarix TM) vaccinationInfants who received rotavirus vaccination (Rotarix TM) at 6 and 10 weeks, 10 and 14 weeks or 6,10, and 14 weeks. This is a nested study and infants received the vaccination in the overarching study: The Immunogenicity of ROtavirus Vaccine Under Different Age Schedules and the Impact of Withholding Breast Feeding around the Time of Vaccination on the Immunogenicity of Rotarix Vaccine (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT01199874)

What is being measured

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

  1. differences in fecal microbiota composition

    The primary study objective is to see if there are significant differences in the fecal microbiota composition between rotavirus vaccine (Rotarix TM) immune responders (defined as anti-RV IgA antibodies at a concentration of > or = to 20 U/ml in a previously seronegative individual 4 weeks after the last Rotarix dose) and rotavirus vaccine immune non-responders (defined as anti-RV IgA antibodies at a concentration of <20 U/mL 4 weeks after the last Rotarix dose)

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rotavirus, run by Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 7 inclusion and 9 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 Jan 2017. 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 Pakistan. 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?

differences in fecal microbiota composition (time frame: 2 years). 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 26 Jan 2017.
