Study information

Study designA double blind, randomised placebo controlled study
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typePrevention
Scientific title
Study acronymRota013
Study objectivesThe aim of this study was to determine if there was a difference in immune response between the two different schedules that were tested.
Ethics approval(s)Approved prior to 2002
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedVaccine/immunization
InterventionTwo doses of GSK Biologicals’ oral live attenuated human rotavirus (HRV) vaccine (RIX4414) at 106.5 CCID50 viral concentration
Control: placebo
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase II
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Human rotavirus vaccine (RIX4414)
Primary outcome measureProportion of subjects who seroconverted at visit 4 (2 months after dose 3) in the vaccine groups.
Secondary outcome measuresImmunogenicity:
1. Proportion of subjects with vaccine take at visit 2 (dose 2) and visit 4 in a subset of subjects
2. Serum rotavirus IgA (immunoglobulin A) antibody concentrations in all subjects at visits 1, 2 and 4
3. Proportion of subjects with anti-poliovirus type 1, 2 and 3 antibody titre greater than or equal to 1:8, at visit 4
4. Antibody titres for anti-poliovirus types 1, 2 and 3, at visit 4
5. Viral shedding in a subset of subjects

Safety:
1. For each type of solicited symptom, occurrence of the symptom within the 15-day (day 0-14) solicited follow-up period after each dose
2. Occurrence of unsolicited adverse events within 43 days (day 0 - 42) after each dose, according to MedDRA (medical dictionary for adverse events) classification
3. Presence of rotavirus in diarrhoeal stool collected until visit 4
4. Occurrence of serious adverse events throughout the entire study period

Efficacy:
1. Occurrence of rotavirus gastroenteritis/severe rotavirus gastroenteritis during the period starting from dose 1 up to visit 5
2. Occurrence of severe rotavirus gastroenteritis during the entire study period
Overall study start date01/01/2002
Completion date25/10/2004
