Assess the Immunogenicity of the Human Rotavirus (HRV) Vaccine After Reconstitution Without Buffering Agent; & Evaluate the Immunogenicity, Reactogenicity & Safety of the Vaccine After Storage for 7 d at 37°C Following 2 Doses in Healthy Infants

Rotavirus Gastroenteritis Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase IIIb, Partially Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study to Asses the Effect on Immunogenicity of Administration of Vaccine Without Buffering Agent and to Assess Heat Stability in Terms of Immunogenicity, Reactogenicity and Safety of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' Oral Live Attenuated Human Rotavirus (HRV) Vaccine Following a 0, 2 Month Schedule, in Healthy Infants Previously Uninfected With Human Rotavirus

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Rotavirus (RV) is the most important cause of acute gastroenteritis (GE) requiring hospitalization of infants and young children in developed and developing countries and can be a frequent cause of death in children less than 5 years of age. GSK Biologicals has developed a vaccine against human rotavirus gastroenteritis. In this study, the immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of the HRV vaccine will be evaluated when stored or reconstituted in circumstances different from the recommendations: i.e. when not reconstituted with a buffer or when stored for 7 days at 37°C before reconstitution. In addition, the effect of feeding will be explored for HRV vaccine reconstituted without buffer.

Clinical Trial Description

Assess the effect on immunogenicity of administration of vaccine without buffering agent & assess heat stability in terms of immunogenicity, reactogenicity & safety of GSK Biologicals' oral live attenuated human rotavirus (HRV) vaccine following a 0,2 m schedule, in healthy infants previously uninfected with human rotavirus ;
