Rotavirus Clinical Trials

This is a controlled cohort study to assess the effect of improved sanitation on oral rotavirus vaccine performance in low-income urban neighbourhoods of Maputo, Mozambique. The specific hypotheses are that: (1) access to improved sanitation is associated with increased oral rotavirus vaccine immunogenicity; (2) enteric infection concurrent to oral rotavirus ...

This study has the ability to provide contemporary Canadian data on the two of the most important outcome measures for effectiveness of rotavirus vaccine: hospital admissions and emergency department visits. The extended time period that already exists prior to vaccine implementation (2005 to 2011) will provide longterm baseline data with ...

Australian Indigenous children, particularly those living in remote communities, suffer a disproportionately high burden of rotavirus gastroenteritis disease. Despite the introduction of rotavirus vaccine into the Northern Territory (NT) Immunisation Schedule in 2006, the rate of hospitalization for rotavirus in NT Aboriginal children < 5 years continues to be high, ...

Epidemiological studies have shown the diversity of resistance genotypes and the evolution of their prevalence in the paediatric population. This large study conducted in a context of very low vaccination coverage will generate more precise data on the natural epidemiological evolution of rotavirus, notably the G9 genotype, which has appeared ...

Rotaviruses are the leading cause of severe, dehydrating diarrhea and related deaths in children aged less than 5 years worldwide and are reported to infect nearly every child by the age of 5 years. About 90% of all rotavirus-associated fatalities occur in low income countries in Africa and Asia and ...

A double blind placebo controlled Phase I/II study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the Live Attenuated Tetravalent (G1-G4) Bovine-Human Reassortant Rotavirus Vaccine [BRV-TV]in Indian infants. The study would be carried out in 90 healthy infants. Three doses of the rotavirus vaccine or placebo would be administered orally to ...

This study will be an open single arm, single centre, interventional study conducted in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. A sample size of 1,000 infants will be recruited to the study between 8 to 9 weeks (which is around 2 months) of age. These infants will receive two doses of ...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' HRV liquid vaccine compared to GSK Biologicals' HRV lyophilized vaccine when administered as a two-dose primary vaccination in healthy infants aged 6-10 weeks at dose one, with no previous history of rotavirus illness or ...
