  Purpose

This study will assess the safety and tolerability of RotaTeq™ (V260) in the healthy Chinese populations. Approximately 144 participants will be enrolled and equally stratified into three age cohorts, Cohort I ages 19-47 years, Cohort II ages 2-6 years, and Cohort III ages 6-12 weeks. Randomization ratio is 1:1 in each cohort. The study will be conducted sequentially, participants in Cohort I then Cohort II receiving 1 dose of, and then participants in Cohort III receiving 3 doses of RotaTeq™/placebo. The primary investigator and the Ethics Review Committee will review blinded safety data and make decision based on their best clinical judgment to move study forward between cohorts. Duration for the entire study will be approximately 6-9 months.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events [ Time Frame: up to 14 days post vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    All serious adverse events (SAEs) were collected for 14 days following each dose to obtain the number of participants with serious adverse events.

  • Number of Serious Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 14 days post vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    The total number of serious adverse experiences (events) in participants up to 14 days post vaccination.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of Infants With Fecal Vaccine Virus Shedding [ Time Frame: Between Day 3 and Day 7 following each of 3 doses of RotaTeq™/placebo ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Fecal shedding of vaccine rotavirus in Cohort III (infants) was evaluated by determining the number of participants whose stool was positive by both (1) the Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (EIA) to detect the rotavirus antigen, and (2) PCR VP6 Genotyping (a polymerase chain reaction assay specific for rotavirus genome 6, coding for the VP6 protein of the vaccine virus). For analysis, two stool samples were collected per participant on separate days between Day 3 and Day 7 following each vaccination dose.

Placebo Comparator: Cohort I - Placebo, Adults
Adults randomized to receive a single dose of matching placebo to RotaTeq™.
 Biological: Comparator: Placebo
Single 2.0 mL dose of matching placebo to RotaTeq™ administered orally at enrollment.
Experimental: Cohort II - RotaTeq™, Children
Children randomized to receive a single dose of RotaTeq™.
 Biological: Rotavirus Vaccine, Live, Oral, Pentavalent

Single 2.0 mL dose V260 (RotaTeq™) administered orally at enrollment.

The 2-mL vaccine consists of an oral solution of 5 live human-bovine reassortant rotaviruses.

Other Name: V260, RotaTeq™
Placebo Comparator: Cohort II - Placebo, Children
Children randomized to receive a single dose of matching placebo to RotaTeq™.
 Biological: Comparator: Placebo
Single 2.0 mL dose of matching placebo to RotaTeq™ administered orally at enrollment.
Experimental: Cohort III - RotaTeq™, Infants
Infants randomized to receive 3 doses of RotaTeq™.
 Biological: Rotavirus Vaccine, Live, Oral, Pentavalent

Three 2.0 mL doses of RotaTeq™ administered orally at 3 separate visits scheduled 28 to 70 days apart. The third dose was administered by 32 weeks of age.
