Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Any Severity of Rotavirus Gastroenteritis
From 14 days after the third dose of V260 or placebo through the first rotavirus season (up to 15 months)

The number of participants with rotavirus gastroenteritis (RVGE) caused by naturally-occurring wild-type rotavirus (regardless of serotype or disease severity) was assessed. The case definition of RVGE included 1) 3 or more watery or looser-than-normal stools within a 24-hour period and/or forceful vomiting, and 2) naturally-occurring wild-type rotavirus must be detected in a stool specimen taken within 7 days after the onset of symptoms.

Geometric Mean Titer of Serum Neutralizing Antibody Response to Human Rotavirus Serotypes G1, G2, G3, G4, and P1A[8]
42 days after vaccination 3 (up to 185 days)

Secondary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With Elevated Temperature
Up to 30 days after any dose of V260 or Placebo
Percentage of Participants With Vomiting or Diarrhea

Frequently asked questions about RotaTeq experimental formulation

What is RotaTeq experimental formulation?

RotaTeq experimental formulation is an investigational monoclonal antibody developed by Merck & Company, Inc. for rotavirus gastroenteritis, an infectious disease. It was studied in a Phase 3 clinical trial in infants. It is a new formulation evaluated for immunogenicity, tolerability, and safety rather than a currently marketed product.

What is RotaTeq experimental formulation used for?

RotaTeq experimental formulation is being studied for rotavirus gastroenteritis, an infectious disease that affects infants. The Phase 3 trial enrolled infants from 6 weeks of age to assess immunogenicity, tolerability, and safety. The condition under study in the trial was rotavirus gastroenteritis.

Who makes RotaTeq experimental formulation?

RotaTeq experimental formulation is developed by Merck & Company, Inc., which trades under the ticker MRK. Merck sponsored the Phase 3 study of this new formulation in infants. The trial was registered as V260-035 and conducted under NCT01600092.

What phase is RotaTeq experimental formulation in?

RotaTeq experimental formulation is in Phase 3 development. The single registered trial, NCT01600092, is a completed Phase 3 study. It is an investigational product and is not described as approved. The trial evaluated a new formulation of RotaTeq in infants.

What clinical trials is RotaTeq experimental formulation in?

RotaTeq experimental formulation was studied in one Phase 3 trial, NCT01600092, titled A Study of the Immunogenicity, Tolerability, and Safety of a New Formulation of RotaTeq in Infants (V260-035). The trial is completed and enrolled 1,020 infants aged 6 weeks and older. It was randomized, double blind, and active controlled.

Is RotaTeq experimental formulation the same as RotaTeq?

RotaTeq experimental formulation is also known as RotaTeq experimental formulation, written with the trademark symbol. It refers to a new formulation of RotaTeq that Merck studied in a Phase 3 trial in infants. Searches for either name point to the same investigational asset evaluated under NCT01600092.
