A Study of the Immunogenicity, Tolerability, and Safety of a New Formulation of RotaTeq™ in Infants (V260-035)

A study to compare safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a new formulation of RotaTeq™ with the existing formulation in infants. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the new formulation will be noninferior to the existing formulation on the basis of immunogenicity.

Inclusion criteria

  • Parent or legal guardian agrees to have infant participate by giving written informed consent

Exclusion criteria

  • History of congenital abdominal disorders, prior rotavirus gastroenteritis, chronic diarrhea, failure to thrive, or abdominal surgery
  • History of intussusception
  • Known or suspected impairment of immunological function, including Severe

Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID)

  • Prior administration of any rotavirus vaccine
  • Clinical evidence of active gastrointestinal illness, with the exception of well-controlled gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
  • Receipt of 1) systemic corticosteroids (≥ 2mg/kg total daily dose of prednisone or equivalent) for 14 consecutive days or more since birth, or 2) systemic corticosteroids ≥ 2mg/kg/dose within 7 days prior to the administration of the first dose of study vaccine.

Primary outcomes

  1. Geometric Mean Titer of Serum Neutralizing Antibody Response to Human Rotavirus Serotypes G1, G2, G3, G4, and P1A[8]

    Time frame: 42 days after vaccination 3 (up to 185 days)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Tier-1 Adverse Events: Diarrhea, Vomiting, Elevated Temperature, and Irritability

    Time frame: Up to 7 days after any vaccination (up to 147 days)

    An adverse event is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine is also an adverse event. Protocol-defined Tier-1 adverse events to be collected up to 7 days after any vaccination were diarrhea, vomiting, elevated temperature (rectal >=38.1° C, >=100.5° F), and irritability.

  2. Number of Participants With Tier-1 Adverse Events: Intussusception

    Time frame: Up to Day 185

    The protocol-defined Tier-1 adverse event to be collected for the duration of the study (up to Day 185) was intussusception

  3. Geometric Mean Titer of Serum Anti-Rotavirus Immunoglobulin A

    Time frame: 42 days after vaccination 3 (up to 185 days)

  4. Percentage of Participants With >=3-fold Rise From Baseline in GMT of Serum Neutralizing Antibody to Human Rotavirus Serotypes G1, G2, G3, G4, and P1A[8]

    Time frame: Baseline and 42 days after vaccination 3 (up to 185 days)
