E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine if two doses of GSK Biologicals’ HRV vaccine given concomitantly with routine EPI vaccinations including OPV can prevent severe RV GE caused by the circulating wild-type RV strains during the period starting from 2 weeks after Dose 2 until one year of age. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess if severe RVGE can be prevented by HRV vaccine, caused by wild RV strain serotype G1, non-G1 serotypes and due to each non-G1 during the period starting from 2 weeks after Dose 2 until 1 year of age.
To assess severe RVGE can be prevented by HRV vaccine after 1st dose.
To assess safety (SAEs) throughout the study period.
In a subset of 300 subjects, to explore the effect of HRV vaccine on immune response to concurrently administered routine EPI vaccinations and to assess immunogenicity of anti-RV IgA antibody concentrations 1 to 2 months after the 2nd dose.
In a subset of 900 subjects, to demonstrate NI of HRV over placebo group in terms of immune response to concurrently administered OPV, 1 month after Dose 3 in a subset with no OPV given in neonatal period and to explore the effect of HRV vaccine on immune response, 1 month after Dose 1 and 2 of OPV in a subset with no OPV given in neonatal period and after Dose 1, 2 and 3 in a subset with OPV given in neonatal period. |
