About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Observer-blind, Randomized, Multi-country Study to Assess the Reactogenicity and Safety of the Porcine Circovirus (PCV) Free Liquid Formulation of GSK's Oral Live Attenuated Human Rotavirus (HRV) Vaccine as Compared to the Lyophilized Formulation of the GSK's HRV Vaccine, When Administered as a 2-dose Vaccination in Infants Starting at Age 6-12 Weeks

The purpose of this study is to complete the total safety database size for GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' (GSK's) human rotavirus (HRV) vaccine across the Porcine circovirus (PCV)-free development plan.

This study used a purposely selected lot for PCV-free liquid HRV vaccine that is in the upper range of the usual release potencies. The PCV-free liquid HRV vaccine lots used were stored frozen in order to keep the titer stable until administration during the study.

As the liquid formulation of GSK's HRV vaccine is not licensed in the US, the lyophilized formulation of the vaccine was used as a control in all phase III studies as part of the PCV-free development plan.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Any Solicited General Adverse Events (AEs) After the First Vaccination

    Assessed solicited general AEs were fever (defined as temperature ≥ 38.0°C/100.4°F, the preferred location for measuring temperature in this study being the oral cavity, the axilla and the rectum), irritability/fussiness, diarrhea (defined as passage of three or more looser than normal stools within a day), vomiting (defined as one or more episodes of forceful emptying of partially digested stomach contents ≥1 hour after feeding within a day), loss of appetite and cough/runny nose. Any = occurrence of AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to study vaccination.

    Measured: During the 8-day follow-up period after the first vaccination (vaccines administered at Day 1)

  2. Number of Subjects With Any Solicited General Adverse Events (AEs) After the Second Vaccination

    Assessed solicited general AEs were fever (defined as temperature ≥ 38.0°C/100.4°F, the preferred location for measuring temperature in this study being the oral cavity, the axilla and the rectum), irritability/fussiness, diarrhea (defined as passage of three or more looser than normal stools within a day), vomiting (defined as one or more episodes of forceful emptying of partially digested stomach contents ≥1 hour after feeding within a day), loss of appetite and cough/runny nose. Any = occurrence of AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to study vaccination.

    Measured: During the 8-day follow-up period after the second vaccination (vaccines administered at Month 1 or Month 2)

  3. Number of Subjects With Any Unsolicited AEs

    An unsolicited AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study subject, temporally associated with the use of a study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment, and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any 'solicited' AE with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any = occurrence of AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to study vaccination.

    Measured: During the 31-day follow-up period across doses (vaccines administered at Day 1 and at Month 1 or Month 2)

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

    An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization and/or results in disability/incapacity. Any = occurrence of SAE regardless of intensity grade or relation to study vaccination.

    Measured: Throughout the study period (from Day 1 up to Month 7 or Month 8)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing PCV-free liquid formulation of GSK's oral live attenuated HRV vaccine and Lyophilized formulation of GSK's oral live attenuated HRV vaccine in people with Infections, Rotavirus, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 37 sites in 5 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 20 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 10 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 37 sites in United States, Canada, Taiwan, Turkey (Türkiye), Hong Kong. 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 18 Jun 2021). 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?

Number of Subjects With Any Solicited General Adverse Events (AEs) After the First Vaccination (time frame: During the 8-day follow-up period after the first vaccination (vaccines administered at Day 1)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Mar 2022.
