About this study

Official title: Observational, Ecological, Database Study on Epidemiology of Hospitalisations With Rotavirus Gastroenteritis Confirmed in Children Aged ≤5 Years, and Any Impact in the Change From Lyophilised to Liquid Formulation of Rotarix™, in Belgium

The aim of this study is to monitor any impact in the change from the lyophilised formulation to the liquid formulation of the Rotarix™ vaccine on hospitalisations for rotavirus gastroenteritis. This is planned to be assessed by comparing trends of hospitalisations due to laboratory confirmed rotavirus gastroenteritis in children <=5 years of age, before and after introduction of the liquid formulation of the vaccine in Belgium.

What participants receive

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

  • Data collectionOther

    Data collected when only the lyophilised formulation of Rotarix was in use (which is considered as baseline) will be specifically compared to data collected post the introduction of the liquid formulation. The results will also be compared to available vaccine coverage data for those rotavirus vaccines being used in Belgium.

What is being measured

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

  1. Occurrence of rotavirus in hospitalised children aged ≤5 years during pre-introduction, introduction and post-introduction period of liquid formulation Rotarix™

    Measured: up to 2 years post-introduction of liquid formulation of Rotarix™.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Occurrence of rotavirus detected by laboratory tests in children of various age, gender and location (centre and region).

    Measured: up to 2 years post-introduction of liquid formulation of Rotarix™.

  2. Occurrence of rotavirus detected by laboratory tests at a specific time (month and year).

    Measured: up to 2 years post-introduction of liquid formulation of Rotarix™.

  3. Occurrence of rotavirus detected by various types of rotavirus laboratory tests.

    Measured: up to 2 years post-introduction of liquid formulation of Rotarix™.

  4. Occurrence of rotavirus vaccination with a specific brand of vaccine (Rotarix and RotaTeq) among children ≤5 years of age in the Belgian population.

    Measured: up to 2 years post-introduction of liquid formulation of Rotarix™.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infections, Rotavirus, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 8 sites in Belgium.

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 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 9 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Belgium. 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.

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 rotavirus in hospitalised children aged ≤5 years during pre-introduction, introduction and post-introduction period of liquid formulation Rotarix™ (time frame: up to 2 years post-introduction of liquid formulation of Rotarix™.). 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 NCT01435967, 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 9 Mar 2015.
