A Trial to Assess the Safety, Immunogenicity and Efficacy of a Trivalent Rotavirus P2-VP8 Subunit...
Rotavirus Infection of ChildrenThe trial will be a multinational, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, endpoint driven, group-sequential, active comparator-controlled study, in which participating infants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either: 1) 90 µg of the TV P2-VP8 vaccine IM plus oral placebo, or 2) Rotarix® per os (PO) plus IM placebo. Participants will receive three doses of TV P2-VP8/placebo IM and two doses of Rotarix®/placebo PO at monthly intervals starting at ≥6 to <8 weeks of age, administered concomitantly with EPI/UIP vaccines. To maintain the blind, infants allocated to the TV P2-VP8 vaccine arm will receive both TV P2-VP8 IM as well as oral placebo vaccine, and infants allocated to receive Rotarix® will receive both Rotarix® PO and placebo IM. Active surveillance for episodes of gastroenteritis (GE) will be conducted throughout the study, through weekly contact with participants' parents. Unsolicited AEs grade ≥ 2 through 28 days after the last study vaccination will be recorded in the study database, as will data for SAEs (including intussusception) throughout the study.

SaniVac Trial - Sanitation and Oral Rotavirus Vaccine Performance
Rotavirus InfectionsEnvironmental Enteric Dysfunction1 moreThis 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 vaccination is associated with reduced oral rotavirus vaccine immunogenicity; and (3) Environmental Enteric Dysfunction is associated with reduced oral rotavirus vaccine immunogenicity. Pregnant women will be enrolled from the intervention and control arms of a previous sanitation trial (NCT02362932) post-intervention and will be enrolled at no later than eight months' gestation and then followed to 4 months of age of the infant. Blood samples and faeces will be taken from the infant at the time of administration of the first dose of the oral rotavirus vaccine and four weeks after the second dose of the vaccine. The primary outcome of interest in the study is oral rotavirus vaccine immunogenicity among participating vaccinated infants. Seroconversion is defined as a ≥ fourfold rise in serum anti-rotavirus IgA titers between first dose of oral RV vaccine and 4 weeks (+/- 1 week) after second dose of oral RV vaccine. Enteric infections are defined as the presence of ≥ 1 of the following enteric infections in stool: adenovirus 40/41, rotavirus A, norovirus GI/GII, Salmonella spp. (including serovars Typhi and Paratyphi), Campylobacter spp. (C. jejuni, C. coli, C. lari), Shigella spp. (S. boydii, S. sonnei, S. flexneri, S. dysenteriae), Clostridium difficile Toxin A/B, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) LT/ST, E. coli O157, Shiga-like toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) stx1/stx2, Yersinia enterocolitica, Vibrio cholerae, Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, and Cryptosporidium spp. (C. parvum, C. hominis). Environmental Enteric Dysfunction is measured via a combined disease activity score including faecal markers of intestinal inflammation and permeability: neopterin, α-1 antitrypsin, and myeloperoxidase in stool.
Phase II Clinical Trial of the Inactivated Rotavirus Vaccine
Rotavirus InfectionsDiarrheaThis study is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Inactivated Rotavirus Vaccine (IRV) in children (aged 2-71 months). Primary immunogenicity endpoints in two age groups are the anti-RV neutralizing antibody geometric mean titers (GMTs) 28 days after the final dose, anti-RV neutralizing antibody geometric mean increase (GMI), and seroconversion rates between baseline and 28 days after the final dose. The secondary safety endpoints are the number of adverse events/reactions within 30 minutes after each dose, the number of solicited adverse events/reactions within 7 days after each dose, the number of unsolicited adverse events/reactions within 28/30 days after each dose, and the number of serious adverse events (SAE) between the first dose up to 6 months after the final dose. The exploratory endpoints are the anti-RV IgG and IgA antibody GMT 28 days after the final dose, GMI and seroconversion rates of anti-RV IgG and IgA antibody between baseline and 28 days after the final dose, GMT and seropositive rates of anti-RV neutralizing antibody, IgG antibody and IgA antibody 90, 180, and 360 days after the final dose. Besides, as the exploratory endpoint, the GMT, GMI, and seroconversion rates of cross-neutralizing antibodies against G3 and G9 type of RV, gene transcription differences in peripheral blood mononuclear cells on Day 0 and 28 after the final dose will be assessed.

Safety and Immune Response of a Rotavirus Vaccine in HIV-infected and Uninfected Children Born to...
HIV InfectionRotavirus InfectionRotavirus is the leading cause of severe diarrhea in infants and young children, accounting for 45% of severe diarrhea disease in both developed and developing countries. Annually, rotavirus causes approximately 111 million episodes of gastroenteritis requiring home care, 25 million clinic visits, 2 million hospitalizations, and approximately 440,000 deaths in children less than 5 years of age, of which approximately 90% of hospitalizations and 99% of deaths occur in developing countries. Although rotavirus infection is not more common in HIV-infected children, it complicates their care and interferes with their nutrition. Chances of death by these infections can be greater in HIV-infected children when they also suffer from wasting, malnutrition, and/or opportunistic infections. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the Rotavirus vaccine candidate, RotaTeq, in HIV-infected and uninfected children born to HIV-infected mothers.
A Surveillance Study on Timing and Coverage Of Rotavirus and MenB Vaccine Co-administration in Campania...
VaccinationRotavirus Infections1 moreA two-phases study will be carried out with the following aims st phase (2018-2020) To investigate the vaccination coverage for Rotavirus vaccine (RV) in Campania Region together with other pediatric vaccinations scheduled in the first 12 months of life: hexavalent, pneumococcal conjugate (PCV), meningococcal B (MenB) To collect data on appropriate timing of the 3 doses of human bovine pentavalent reassortant vaccine (RV5) administration To evaluate the frequency of a co-administration of RV5 with other vaccines scheduled in the first 12 months of life (hexavalent/PCV+RV5, MenB+RV5 vs RV5 alone) and assess the variability in co-administration rates according to RV5 dose nd phase (2020-2022) To investigate the effect of Coronavirus-Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic on vaccination coverage in the first year of life, focusing on RV vaccination To investigate the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on timing of vaccine administration in the first year of life, focusing on those vaccines without catch-up vaccination schedule (i.e. RV) Hypothesis are the following: Vaccination coverage and timing of vaccines scheduled in the first year of life are not fully aligned with what is established by the Italian National Prevention Plan 2017-2019 Co-administration of RV5 and MenB in comparison with other coadministration e.g. hexavalent/PCV is lower Co-administration of RV5 and MenB allows to ensure appropriate timing of RV vaccination schedule COVID-19 pandemic may have affected the overall vaccination coverage as well as the timing of selected vaccination scheduled in the first year of life, with a more relevant impact on vaccines for whom a catch-up vaccination schedule is not feasible, such as RV immunization.
