Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Healthy male or female infant between, and including, 6 and 14 weeks (42-104 days) of age at the time of the first vaccination.
  • Subjects who the investigator believes that their parents/guardians can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol should be enrolled in the study
  • Healthy subjects as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.

  • History of use of experimental rotavirus vaccine.
  • Chronic administration of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs since birth.
  • Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the subject has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational product (pharmaceutical product or device).
  • Uncorrected congenital malformation (such as Meckel's diverticulum) of the gastrointestinal tract that would predispose for intussusception.
  • Any clinically significant history of chronic gastrointestinal disease including any uncorrected congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal tract or other serious medical condition determined by the investigator.
  • History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine.
  • Previous confirmed occurrence of RV GE.
  • Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition based on medical history and physical examination (no laboratory testing is required).
  • A family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
  • Acute disease at the time of enrolment.
  • Gastroenteritis within 7 days preceding the study vaccine administration.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Subjects Reporting Any Rotavirus (RV) Gastroenteritis (GE) Leading to Medical Intervention and Caused by the Circulating Wild-type RV Strains
Rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis (GE) was defined as an episode of any severity GE leading to a medical intervention occurring at least two weeks after dose 2 in which rotavirus other than vaccine strain is identified in a stool sample collected as soon as possible but preferably not later than 7 days after the start of the episode.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of Subjects Reporting Severe Rotavirus (RV) Gastroenteritis (GE) Leading to Medical Intervention and Caused by the Circulating Wild-type RV Strains
A subject was considered as reporting severe rotavirus gastroenteritis when the subject scored 11 or more on a 20-point scoring system (Vesikari scoring system).
Number of Subjects Reporting Any Rotavirus (RV) Gastroenteritis (GE) and Severe RV GE Leading to Medical Intervention and Caused by the Circulating Wild-type RV Strains of G1 Type
Rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis (GE) was defined as an episode of any severity GE leading to a medical intervention occurring at least two weeks after dose 2 in which rotavirus other than vaccine strain is identified in a stool sample collected as soon as possible but preferably not later than 7 days after the start of the episode. Severe RV GE was defined as an episode of rotavirus gastroenteritis with score ≥ 11 on a 20-point scoring system (Vesikari scoring system).
Number of Subjects Reporting Any Rotavirus (RV) Gastroenteritis (GE) and Severe RV GE Leading to Medical Intervention and Caused by the Circulating Wild-type RV Strains of Non-G1 Types
Rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis (GE) was defined as an episode of any severity GE leading to a medical intervention occurring at least two weeks after dose 2 in which rotavirus other than vaccine strain is identified in a stool sample collected as soon as possible but preferably not later than 7 days after the start of the episode. Severe rotavirus gastroenteritis was defined as an episode of rotavirus gastroenteritis with score ≥ 11 on a 20-point scoring system (Vesikari scoring system).
Number of Subjects Hospitalized Due to Rotavirus (RV) Gastroenteritis (GE) Caused by the Circulating Wild-type RV Strains
Rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis (GE) was defined as an episode of any severity GE leading to a medical intervention occurring at least two weeks after dose 2 in which rotavirus other than vaccine strain is identified in a stool sample collected as soon as possible but preferably not later than 7 days after the start of the episode.
Number of Subjects Reporting Any Rotavirus (RV) Gatroenteritis (GE) and Severe RV GE Leading to Medical Intervention and Caused by the Circulating Wild-type RV Strains
Rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis (GE) was defined as an episode of any severity GE leading to a medical intervention occurring at least two weeks after dose 2 in which rotavirus other than vaccine strain is identified in a stool sample collected as soon as possible but preferably not later than 7 days after the start of the episode. Severe rotavirus gastroenteritis was defined as an episode of rotavirus gastroenteritis with score ≥ 11 on a 20-point scoring system (Vesikari scoring system).
Serum Anti-rotavirus Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Antibody Concentration
Anti-rotavirus immunoglobulin A antibody concentrations are given as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs). Arbitrary 'zero' values were set in the Placebo Group since the GMC was below the assay cut-off value (20 U/mL).
Number of Subjects Seroconverted for Anti-rotavirus Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Antibodies
Seroconversion was defined as the appearance of anti-rotavirus immunoglobulin A antibody concentration ≥ 20 units (U)/milliliter (mL) in subjects initially (i.e. prior to the first dose of rotarix) seronegative.
Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited Symptoms
Solicited symptoms assessed include cough, diarrhoea, fever, irritability, loss of appetite and vomiting.
Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)
Unsolicited adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.
