Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Intussusception Within 42 Days Following Any Dose of RotaTeq™/Placebo

    Within 42 days following any dose of RotaTeq™/placebo

  • Occurrence of Rotavirus Disease Caused by Serotypes G1, G2, G3 and G4 That Occurs 14 Days Following the 3rd Vaccination

    Rotavirus gastroenteritis cases consist of all participants with one or more episodes classified as positive. Multiple positive episodes for one participant are counted as a single case.

    At least 14 days following the 3rd vaccination through the first full rotavirus season

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • G1 Serum Neutralizing Antibody (SNA) Responses Against Rotavirus

    14 days following the 3rd vaccination

  • Occurrence of Hospital Admissions and Visits to Emergency Departments (or the Equivalent at International Sites) for Rotavirus Disease Associated With Serotypes G1, G2, G3, or G4

    At least 14 days following the 3rd vaccination

  • Efficacy of a 3-dose Regimen of RotaTeq™ Against Moderate-to-severe Rotavirus Disease (Clinical Score >8) Caused by Serotypes G1, G2, G3, and G4 Occurring at Least 14 Days Following the Third Dose.

    At least 14 days following the 3rd vaccination through the first rotavirus season

  • Efficacy of a 3-dose Regimen of RotaTeq™ Against Severe Rotavirus Disease (Clinical Score > 16) Caused by Serotypes G1, G2, G3, and G4 Occurring at Least 14 Days Following the Third Dose

    At least 14 days following the 3rd vaccination through the first rotavirus season

  • Seroprotection/Seroconversion for Hepatitis B, Haemophilus Influenzae Type b, Diphtheria, Tetanus, & Polio Types 1,2,& 3 Who Received COMVAX™, INFANRIX™, IPOL™ & PREVNAR™ Concomitantly With RotaTeq™ Versus Placebo

    42 days following third dose
