What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects Reporting Any Rotavirus (RV) Gastroenteritis (GE) Leading to Medical Intervention and Caused by the Circulating Wild-type RV Strains

    Rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis (GE) was defined as an episode of any severity GE leading to a medical intervention occurring at least two weeks after dose 2 in which rotavirus other than vaccine strain is identified in a stool sample collected as soon as possible but preferably not later than 7 days after the start of the episode.

    Measured: From 2 weeks after Dose 2 up to 2 years of age

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Number of Subjects Reporting Severe Rotavirus (RV) Gastroenteritis (GE) Leading to Medical Intervention and Caused by the Circulating Wild-type RV Strains

    A subject was considered as reporting severe rotavirus gastroenteritis when the subject scored 11 or more on a 20-point scoring system (Vesikari scoring system).

    Measured: From 2 weeks after Dose 2 up to 2 years of age

  2. Number of Subjects Reporting Any Rotavirus (RV) Gastroenteritis (GE) and Severe RV GE Leading to Medical Intervention and Caused by the Circulating Wild-type RV Strains of G1 Type

    Rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis (GE) was defined as an episode of any severity GE leading to a medical intervention occurring at least two weeks after dose 2 in which rotavirus other than vaccine strain is identified in a stool sample collected as soon as possible but preferably not later than 7 days after the start of the episode.

    Severe RV GE was defined as an episode of rotavirus gastroenteritis with score ≥ 11 on a 20-point scoring system (Vesikari scoring system).

    Measured: From 2 weeks after Dose 2 up to 2 years of age

  3. Number of Subjects Reporting Any Rotavirus (RV) Gastroenteritis (GE) and Severe RV GE Leading to Medical Intervention and Caused by the Circulating Wild-type RV Strains of Non-G1 Types

    Rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis (GE) was defined as an episode of any severity GE leading to a medical intervention occurring at least two weeks after dose 2 in which rotavirus other than vaccine strain is identified in a stool sample collected as soon as possible but preferably not later than 7 days after the start of the episode.

    Severe rotavirus gastroenteritis was defined as an episode of rotavirus gastroenteritis with score ≥ 11 on a 20-point scoring system (Vesikari scoring system).

    Measured: From 2 weeks after Dose 2 up to 2 years of age

  4. Number of Subjects Hospitalized Due to Rotavirus (RV) Gastroenteritis (GE) Caused by the Circulating Wild-type RV Strains

    Rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis (GE) was defined as an episode of any severity GE leading to a medical intervention occurring at least two weeks after dose 2 in which rotavirus other than vaccine strain is identified in a stool sample collected as soon as possible but preferably not later than 7 days after the start of the episode.

    Measured: From 2 weeks after Dose 2 up to 2 years of age

  5. Number of Subjects Reporting Any Rotavirus (RV) Gatroenteritis (GE) and Severe RV GE Leading to Medical Intervention and Caused by the Circulating Wild-type RV Strains

    Rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis (GE) was defined as an episode of any severity GE leading to a medical intervention occurring at least two weeks after dose 2 in which rotavirus other than vaccine strain is identified in a stool sample collected as soon as possible but preferably not later than 7 days after the start of the episode.

    Severe rotavirus gastroenteritis was defined as an episode of rotavirus gastroenteritis with score ≥ 11 on a 20-point scoring system (Vesikari scoring system).

    Measured: From Dose 1 up to 2 years of age

  6. Serum Anti-rotavirus Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Antibody Concentration

    Anti-rotavirus immunoglobulin A antibody concentrations are given as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs). Arbitrary 'zero' values were set in the Placebo Group since the GMC was below the assay cut-off value (20 U/mL).

    Measured: 2 months after Dose 2

  7. Number of Subjects Seroconverted for Anti-rotavirus Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Antibodies

    Seroconversion was defined as the appearance of anti-rotavirus immunoglobulin A antibody concentration ≥ 20 units (U)/milliliter (mL) in subjects initially (i.e. prior to the first dose of rotarix) seronegative.

    Measured: 2 months after Dose 2

  8. Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited Symptoms

    Solicited symptoms assessed include cough, diarrhoea, fever, irritability, loss of appetite and vomiting.

    Measured: During the 8-day follow-up period after each dose

  9. Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    Unsolicited adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

    Measured: During the 31-day follow-up period after each dose

  10. Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.

    Measured: Up to 2 years of age

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Rotarix in people with Infections, Rotavirus and Rotavirus Vaccines, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 20 sites in Japan.

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 13 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 2 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in Japan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 17 Nov 2010). 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 Reporting Any Rotavirus (RV) Gastroenteritis (GE) Leading to Medical Intervention and Caused by the Circulating Wild-type RV Strains (time frame: From 2 weeks after Dose 2 up to 2 years of age). 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 NCT00480324, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 2 Jan 2020.
