About this study

Official title: Immunogenicity and Safety of the Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis and Inactivated Poliovirus (DPT-IPV) Vaccine Squarekids Co-administered With GSK Biologicals' Human Rotavirus (HRV) Vaccine Rotarix (GSK444563) in Healthy Infants

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and inactivated poliovirus (DPT-IPV) vaccine Squarekids administered with or without the GSK Biologicals' liquid Rotarix (HRV) vaccine, in healthy Japanese infants aged 6 - 12 weeks. GSK Biologicals' liquid HRV vaccine Rotarix is licensed in Japan since 2011. Although the concomitant administration of GSK Biologicals' DTP-IPV vaccine has been evaluated during the clinical development of the HRV vaccine, the vaccine differed in composition and route of administration from the DPT-IPV vaccine Squarekids manufactured in Japan. Hence, as requested by the Japanese regulatory authorities, this post-licensure study will evaluate the immunogenicity of the DPT-IPV vaccine manufactured in Japan when co-administered with the liquid HRV vaccine

Read the detailed description

This study is a phase IV, open-label, randomised, controlled, multi-centric, single-country study with two parallel groups. Subjects in the co-administration group will be administered the DPT-IPV vaccine according to a 3, 4, 6 month schedule and the liquid HRV vaccine according to a 2, 3 month schedule. Subjects in the staggered group will be administered the DPT-IPV vaccine according to a 3, 4.5, 6 month schedule and the liquid HRV vaccine according to a 2, 3.5 month schedule. The intended duration of the study, per subject, is 5 months.

A sub-cohort of subjects (HRV Immunogenicity sub-cohort) from both the study groups will include the first 73 subjects enrolled into the study to assess the serum anti-RV IgA seropositivity and Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMC).

    Percentage of subjects with anti-D and anti-T antibody concentrations ≥ 0.1 international units per milliliter (IU/mL).

    Measured: One month post third dose of DTP-IPV vaccine (At Month 5)

  2. Percentage of Subjects With Anti-pertussis Toxoid (Anti-PT) and Anti-filamentous Haemagglutinin (Anti-FHA) Antibody Concentrations ≥ the Cut-off Value

    Percentage of subjects with anti-PT and anti-FHA antibody concentrations ≥ 10 IU/mL.

    Measured: One month post third dose of DTP-IPV vaccine (At Month 5)

  3. Percentage of Subjects With Anti-poliovirus Serotypes 1, 2 and 3 (Anti-polio 1, 2 and 3) Antibody Titers ≥ the Cut-off Value

    Percentage of subjects with anti-polio 1, 2 and 3 antibody titers ≥ 8 estimated doses 50% (ED50).

    Measured: One month post third dose of DTP-IPV vaccine (At Month 5)

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Percentage of Seropositive Subjects for Serum Anti-rotavirus (Anti-RV) Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Antibodies in a Sub-cohort of Subjects

    A seropositive subject for serum anti-RV IgA antibodies was defined as a subject with anti-RV IgA antibody concentration ≥ the seropositivity cut-off value of 20 units per milliliter (U/mL). Immunogenicity of the liquid HRV vaccine in terms of serum anti-RV IgA antibody seropositivity was assessed in a sub-cohort of subjects (HRV immunogenicity sub-cohort) which included the first 73 subjects enrolled into each of the 2 study groups.

    Measured: One month post second dose of liquid HRV vaccine (At Month 2 for the Co-administration Group and at Month 2.5 for the Staggered Group)

  2. Serum Anti-RV IgA Antibody Concentration to Evaluate Immunogenicity in a Sub-cohort of Subjects

    Concentration of serum anti-RV IgA antibody was assessed by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and expressed as geometric mean concentration (GMC) in U/mL. The assay cut-off was 20 U/mL. Immunogenicity of the liquid HRV vaccine in terms of serum anti-RV IgA antibody GMC was assessed in a sub-cohort of subjects (HRV immunogenicity sub-cohort) which included the first 73 subjects enrolled into each of the 2 study groups.

    Measured: One month post second dose of liquid HRV vaccine (At Month 2 for the Co-administration Group and at Month 2.5 for the Staggered Group)

  3. Anti-D and Anti-T Antibody Concentrations to Evaluate Immunogenicity

    Concentrations of anti-D and anti-T antibodies were assessed by ELISA, presented as GMCs and expressed in IU/mL. The assay cut-off for anti-D and anti-T antibody concentrations was 0.1 IU/mL.

    Measured: One month post third dose of DTP-IPV vaccine (At Month 5)

  4. Anti-polio 1, 2 and 3 Antibodies Titers to Evaluate Immunogenicity

    Titers of anti-polio 1, 2 and 3 were assessed by Neutralisation Assay (NEU) and presented as Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs). The assay cut-off was 8 ED50.

    Measured: One month post third dose of DTP-IPV vaccine (At Month 5)

    Assessed solicited general AEs were drowsiness, fever (defined as axillary temperature ≥ 37.5 °C), irritability/fussiness and loss of appetite. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.

    Measured: During the 8-day (Days 0-7) follow-up period after first dose of DTP-IPV vaccine

  9. Number of Subjects With Any Unsolicited AEs After Each Dose of Liquid HRV Vaccine

    Measured: During the 31-day (Days 0-30) follow-up period after each dose of liquid HRV vaccine

  10. Number of Subjects With Any Unsolicited AE After First Dose of DTP-IPV Vaccine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Squarekids and Rotarix in people with Rotavirus, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 11 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 22 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 25 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 23 Jan 2019). 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?

Percentage of Subjects With Anti-diphtheria (Anti-D) and Anti-tetanus (Anti-T) Antibody Concentrations Greater Than or Equal to (≥) the Cut-off Value (time frame: One month post third dose of DTP-IPV vaccine (At Month 5)). The study lists 3 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 NCT02907216, 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 25 Nov 2019.
