About this study

Official title: An Open Single-arm Interventional Study to Identify the Influence of Human Genetic Variation on Early Transcriptional Responses and Protective Immunity Following Immunization With Rotarix Rotavirus Vaccine in Infants in HCM City in Vietnam

The primary objective is to measure the effect of host human genetics on the resulting immunological responses and long-term protection following rotavirus immunization of a study population of infants in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

The secondary objectives are to assess the temporal immunological responses following rotavirus vaccination, and to investigate the role of maternally derived antibodies, and other factors that could potentially affect immunological responses following rotavirus vaccination. Also to assess infecting rotavirus genotypes in the vaccine failure cases.

Read the detailed description

This study will be an open single arm, single centre, interventional study conducted in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. A sample size of 1,000 infants will be recruited to the study between 8 to 9 weeks (which is around 2 months) of age. These infants will receive two doses of the rotavirus vaccine, Rotarix with an interval of 28-37 days (or 4-5 weeks). The parents will be requested to bring the infants 2-3 days following each Rotarix vaccination to receive the standard EPI vaccinations. The infants will then be under passive and active surveillance for rotavirus-associated diarrhoea until 18 months of age. Blood samplings during pre and post vaccination and at 6, 12 and 18 month old visits will be collected.

What participants receive

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

  • Rotarix vaccineBiological

    In this study, the 1st dose of Rotarix vaccine will be administered when infants are at ages between weeks 8-9 and the 2nd dose is 28-37 days after the 1st dose, which means that there is an interval of 28-37 days or 4-5 weeks between doses. A reminding call will be set at about 4 weeks after the 1st dose to remind parents to bring their children back to Hung Vuong Hospital for the 2nd dose of Rotarix to ensure the completion of the 2nd dose of Rotarix vaccine.

Study groups in NCT03587389
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Rotavirus vaccineExperimentalThe Rotarix vaccine package consist of 1.5 ml of oral suspension in a pre-filled oral applicator (type I glass) with a plunger stopper (rubber butyl) and a protective tip cap (rubber butyl) in pack sizes of 1. The vaccination course consists of two doses. The first dose may be administered from the age of 6 weeks. There should be an interval of at least 4 weeks between doses. The vaccination course should preferably be given before 16 weeks of age, but must be completed by the age of 24 weeks. Rotarix is for oral use only and should under no circumstancies be injected. All participating infants will receive two doses of Rotarix vaccine following the standard Rotarix immunization protocol.
Receives: Biological: Rotarix vaccine

What is being measured

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

  1. The rotavirus vaccine failure events during the time period from recruitment to 18 months of age.

    The primary endpoint is to measure the proportion of rotavirus vaccine failure events during the time period from recruitment to 18 months of age after the first dose of vaccination.

    Measured: from the recruitment to 18 months of age after the first dose of vaccination

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Quantification of the antibody response following immunization

    The temporal kinetics of rotavirus-specific antibody responses following immunization will be measured using virus-binding enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which will be used to investigate the effect of host genetics, maternally transferred antibodies, and geospatial and epidemiological factors on the humoral response following vaccination.

    Measured: data collected during 7 site visits (Visit 1: Rotarix Dose 1, Visit 2: 2-3 after Visit 1, Visit 3: 28-37 days after Visit 1, Visit 4: 2-3 days after Visit 3, Visit 5: 6 months old, Visit 6: 12 months old, Visit 7: 18 months old)

  2. Assessment of infecting rotavirus genotypes in vaccine failure cases

    The rotavirus genotypes in vaccine failure cases will be assessed to investigate whether vaccine failure cases are a result of varying rotavirus genotypes.

    Measured: from the recruitment to 18 months of age after the first dose of vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rotarix vaccine in people with Rotavirus and Diarrhea, run by Oxford University Clinical Research Unit, Vietnam at 1 site in Vietnam.

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 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 14 Nov 2022. 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 Vietnam. 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?

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?

The rotavirus vaccine failure events during the time period from recruitment to 18 months of age. (time frame: from the recruitment to 18 months of age after the first dose of vaccination). 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 14 Nov 2022.
