|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
•To assess the immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' HRV vaccine in terms of serum anti-rotavirus IgA antibody concentrations 2 months post-Dose 2 (i.e. at Visit 3) of the HRV vaccine
•To assess the reactogenicity of GSK Biologicals' HRV vaccine in terms of occurrence of solicited adverse events (AEs) within the 8-day (Day 0 to Day 7) follow-up period after each dose of the HRV vaccine.
•To assess the safety of GSK Biologicals' HRV vaccine in terms of unsolicited AEs within 31 days after any dose of the HRV vaccine and SAEs, from Dose 1 of the HRV vaccine up to Visit 3 (Month 4).
•To assess the presence of RV in gastroenteritis (GE) stools collected from Dose 1 of HRV vaccine up to Visit 3 (Month 4). |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
•Subjects who the investigator believes that parent(s)/Legally Acceptable Representative(s) [LAR(s)] can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol (e.g. completion of the diary cards, return for follow-up visit).
•A male or female between, and including, 6 and 12 weeks of age at the time of the first vaccination.
•Written informed consent obtained from the parent(s)/LAR(s) of the subject.
•Healthy subjects as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.
•Infants who have received a previous dose of hepatitis B immunoglobulin after birth. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
•Child in care.
•Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period.
•Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days in total) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs with the exception of HBIG since birth. For corticosteroids, prednisone >20 mg/day, or equivalent, inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.
•Child is unlikely to remain in the study area for the duration of the study.
•Planned administration/administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol within 30 days of the first dose of vaccine.
•Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the subject has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational product (pharmaceutical product or device).
•Previous vaccination against RV.
•Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history and physical examination (no laboratory testing required).
•Family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
•History of any reaction or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine.
•Major congenital defects or serious chronic illness.
•Acute disease and/or fever at the time of enrolment.
-Fever is defined as temperature ≥ 37.5°C (99.5°F) on oral, axillary or tympanic setting, or ≥ 38.0°C (100.4°F) on rectal setting. The preferred route for recording temperature in this study will be tympanic on rectal setting.
-Subjects with a minor illness (such as mild diarrhoea, mild upper respiratory infection) without fever may, be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator.
•Administration of immunoglobulins (with the exception of HBIG) and/or any blood products since birth or planned administration during the study period.
•GE within 7 days preceding the study vaccine administration (warrants deferral of the vaccination).
•Previous confirmed occurrence of RV GE. |
