Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The investigators aim to establish the non-inferiority of concomitant administration of measles-rubella and rotavirus vaccines to measles-rubella vaccine given alone in terms of measles seroconversion rates. The primary study hypothesis is the measles seroconversion rate as defined by the percentage of children seroconverting to measles with a measles serum antibody concentration of >=1:120 at 8 weeks post vaccination after the concomitant administration of measles-rubella and rotavirus vaccines is non-inferior to that obtained when measles-rubella vaccine is given alone in children 9 months of age who have received a primary rotavirus vaccine series with the first dose between 6 and 10 weeks and the second at least 4 weeks later and are seronegative for measles antibody in the pre-vaccination sample.

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage/Number of Subjects With Seroprotection for Measles Virus Serum Neutralization Antibodies [8 weeks post vaccination]

      Detected by plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT). Seroprotection defined as measles serum antibody concentration >=1:120 8 weeks post vaccination. Assays were standardized using WHO Second International Standard for measles antibody containing 5000 mIU/ml, which enables the 50% neutralizing antibody end-point dose (titer, ND50) of test samples to be transformed to antibody concentrations in terms of mIU/ml. The analytical cut-off value in this assay was ND50 < 1/8; this was the lowest dilution at which sera were tested.

    2. Percentage/Number of Subjects With Seroprotection for Anti-measles Virus Immunoglobulin G (IgG) [8 weeks post vaccination]

      Used commercially available indirect enzyme-linked IgG immunoassays (EIAs; Wampole Laboratories, Princeton, New Jersey). An index standard ratio (ISR) of ≥1.10 on both runs of the respective assay was considered evidence of seropositivity for measles virus. All measles virus and rubella virus assays were performed at the National Measles and Rubella Reference Laboratories, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Herpesviruses Branch, Division of Viral Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Atlanta, Georgia).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage/Number of Subjects With Seroconversion for Anti-rubella Virus Immunoglobulin G (IgG) [8 weeks post vaccination]

An index standard ratio (ISR) of ≥1.10 on both runs of the respective assay was considered evidence of seropositivity for rubella virus. An ISR of at least 1.10 represents 10 IU/mL of rubella virus antibody, consistent with a protective level.All measles virus and rubella virus assays were performed at the National Measles and Rubella Reference Laboratories, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Herpesviruses Branch, Division of Viral Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Atlanta, Georgia).

    2. Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) for Anti-rubella Virus Immunoglobulin G (IgG) [8 weeks post vaccination]

      Used commercially available indirect enzyme-linked IgG immunoassays (EIAs; Wampole Laboratories, Princeton, New Jersey). An index standard ratio (ISR) of ≥1.10 on both runs of the respective assay was considered evidence of seropositivity for rubella virus. An ISR of at least 1.10 represents 10 IU/mL of rubella virus antibody, consistent with a protective level.All measles virus and rubella virus assays were performed at the National Measles and Rubella Reference Laboratories, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Herpesviruses Branch, Division of Viral Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Atlanta, Georgia).

    3. Percentage/Number of Subjects Seropositive for Anti-rotavirus Immunoglobulin A (IgA) [Visit 1 (pre-vaccination) and 8 weeks post vaccination]

      Antirotavirus immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgG were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at the Laboratory of Specialized Clinical Studies at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (Cincinnati, Ohio). A standard serum pool was used to determine arbitrary units of rotavirus IgA or IgG in each sample. A subject was considered seropositive if the IgA or IgG rotavirus antibody concentration was ≥20 U/mL.

A subject was considered seropositive if the IgA or IgG rotavirus antibody concentration was ≥20 U/mL.

    9. Number/Percentage of Subjects Experiencing Immediate Post-vaccination Reactions Following Administration of Vaccine [30 minutes post-vaccination]

      Immediate reactogenicity was defined as local or systemic reactions occurring directly and up to 30 minutes after vaccine receipt, with an emphasis on allergic reactions.

    10. Number/Percentage of Subjects Experiencing Solicited Adverse Events [14 days post-vaccination]

      Solicited non-serious adverse events were collected based on recall at study visits 2 (Day 4) through 5 (Day 14) following administration of Rotarix® vaccine. They included diarrhea, fever, vomiting, loss of appetite, irritability, and intussusception. Adverse events were graded for severity and relationship to vaccine.

    11. Number/Percentage of Subjects Experiencing Unsolicited Non-serious Adverse Events [14 days post-vaccination]

      Solicited non-serious adverse events were collected based on recall at study visits 2 (Day 4) through 5 (Day 14) following administration of Rotarix® vaccine. Adverse events were graded for severity and relationship to vaccine.

    12. Number/Percentage of Subjects Experiencing Serious Adverse Events [2 months after vaccination]

      An adverse event (AE) or suspected AE was considered "serious" if it resulted in any of the following outcomes: Death A life-threatening AE (the term "life-threatening" in the definition of "serious" refers to an event in which the patient was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe) Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions Important medical events that may not result in death, be life threatening, or require hospitalization would have been considered severe adverse events when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may have jeopardized the participant and may have required medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition.

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) for Measles Virus Serum Neutralization Antibodies [8 weeks post vaccination]

      Sera were analyzed for the presence of measles virus serum neutralizing antibodies (SNAs), using a standardized plaque reduction neutralization (PRN) assay, in which PRN titers, defined as the serum dilutions that reduced the number of plaques by 50%, were calculated using the Kärber method [12]. A 1:100 dilution of World Health Organization (WHO) Second International Standard Anti-Measles Serum (IS, coded 66/202, supplied by the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control, South Mimms, United Kingdom) was tested in parallel with each serum specimen to calculate the reciprocal of the 50% end point titer determined by the PRN test.

    2. Number of Participants With Rotavirus Vaccine Shedding [Day 0, Day 4 and Day 7]

      Based on 5 grams of stool sample. Vaccine shedding defined as presence of vaccine-type rotavirus in stool at 4 (+/-1) and/or 7 (+/-1) days post rotavirus vaccination detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and typed by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
