About this study

Official title: A Study on the Impact of Rotavirus Vaccination on Hospitalisations for Rotavirus Gastroenteritis in Children Aged <5 Years in Australia

This study aims to monitor the incidence rates and duration of hospitalisations for rotavirus gastroenteritis (RV GE) and all cause GE, compared to bronchiolitis from 1998 to 2009, in children < 5 years of age after the introduction of Rotarix in 2006 by year, both inside and outside rotavirus season in Australia. It further aims to compare the two dose regimen of Rotarix with the three dose regimen of RotaTeq from 2007 to 2009.

What participants receive

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

  • Database analysisOther

    Existing computerised administrative databases from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) will be reviewed to retrieve data on all-cause gastroenteritis/ rotavirus enteritis and bronchiolitis hospitalisations of children <5 years in all the states using Rotarix from 1998 to 2009. Data from Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR) post introduction of rotavirus vaccines in the National Immunisation Program (2007 to 2009) will also be used.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rotavirus Gastroenteritis and Gastroenteritis, run by GlaxoSmithKline.

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 1 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 7 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Occurrence of all cause gastroenteritis (GE) in children < 5 years by age group, state and year (time frame: Each year: 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01236066, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 Jun 2017.
