Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    •In all subjects, to determine if two doses of GSK Biologicals’ HRV vaccine given concomitantly with routine vaccinations* can prevent severe rotavirus gastroenteritis (RV GE) caused by the circulating wild-type RV strains during the period starting from 2 weeks after Dose 2 until 2 years of age. (*Whenever Oral Polio Vaccination (OPV) is used a minimum 2-week interval should be observed between HRV vaccine and OPV doses.) •In all subjects, to assess the safety of HRV vaccine with respect to definite intussusception (IS) within 31 days (Day 0-Day 30) after each HRV vaccine dose.
    Protection of trial subjects
    All subjects were supervised closely for at least 30 minutes following vaccination with appropriate medical treatment readily available. Vaccines were administered by qualified and trained personnel. Vaccines were administered only to eligible subjects that had no contraindications to any components of the vaccines. Subjects were followed-up from the time the subject consents to participate in the study until she/he is discharged.

    Number of subjects with severe rotavirus gastroenteritis (RV GE) caused by the circulating wild-type rotavirus strains [1]
    End point description
    Severe RV GE is an episode of severe GE in which rotavirus other than vaccine strain was identified in a GE stool sample. Note that this outcome measure is secondary in the study protocol. We have reported it here as primary outcome measure, since none of the primary outcome measures in the study protocol pertain to the time point (Year 3 follow-up) presented in this summary.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    11 Jun 2003
    Rationale: Evaluated the safety of GSK Biologicals’ HRV vaccine, administration of OPV will be deferred from the study vaccine administration by minimum 2 weeks. (1, 2) Interim analysis of an ongoing study (rota-021) in Latin America did not establish the non-inferiority of the all-in-one formulation planned to be used in study 023 as compared to the initial formulation. The initial formulation was therefore used instead of all-in-one formulation.
    24 Feb 2004
    Unlike planned, Malaysia and Thailand did not participate in this study, for logistical and internal organizational reasons. This led to reduction of the sample size. The power was recalculated for the reduced sample size. Because of the overall reduction in sample size, it was decided that all subjects will be followed for efficacy and safety until they reach 2 years of age, instead of only a subset. The method for power computation for the primary safety objective and the statistical analysis section on safety was adapted to reflect a recommendation from the statistician from the IDMC. An exclusion criterion was added to exclude infants who could have rare underlying congenital abnormalities caused by consanguinity.
    26 Apr 2005
    An interim analysis on the safety and immunogenicity data was performed in June 2005. Unblinding at the level of individual data was restricted to the Statistician and database administration until the study end. An interim study report was written for this time point.
