Title: A Phase IIIb, Partially Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study to Asses the Effect on Immunogenicity of Administration of Vaccine Without Buffering Agent and to Assess Heat Stability in Terms of Immunogenicity, Reactogenicity and Safety of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' Oral Live Attenuated Human Rotavirus (HRV) Vaccine Following a 0, 2 Month Schedule, in Healthy Infants Previously Uninfected With Human Rotavirus
Brief Summary: Rotavirus (RV) is the most important cause of acute gastroenteritis (GE) requiring hospitalization of infants and young children in developed and developing countries and can be a frequent cause of death in children less than 5 years of age. GSK Biologicals has developed a vaccine against human rotavirus gastroenteritis. In this study, the immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of the HRV vaccine will be evaluated when stored or reconstituted in circumstances different from the recommendations: i.e. when not reconstituted with a buffer or when stored for 7 days at 37°C before reconstitution. In addition, the effect of feeding will be explored for HRV vaccine reconstituted without buffer.

A: Inclusion Criteria:

* A male or female child between, and including, 5 and 10 weeks of age at the time of the first study vaccination.
* Written informed consent obtained from the parent or guardian of the subject who is of legal age
* Healthy subjects as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.
* In South Africa, birth weight \> 2000 grams or if weight unknown, gestation period \> 36 weeks.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine(s) within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period.
* 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
* Planned administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol within 14 days before each dose of study vaccine(s) and ending 14 days after.
* Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants since birth.
* History of use of experimental rotavirus vaccine.
* Previous routine vaccination except Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and oral poliovirus (OPV) vaccination at birth
* Any clinically significant history of chronic gastrointestinal disease including any uncorrected congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal tract, intussusception or other medical condition determined to be serious by the investigator.
* Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition based on medical history and physical examination
* History of allergic disease or reaction likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine.
* Acute disease at the time of enrolment.
* Gastroenteritis within 7 days preceding the first study vaccine administration
* Previous confirmed occurrence of rotavirus gastroenteritis (RV GE).
* A family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
* Administration of immunoglobulins and/or blood products since birth or planned administration during the study period.
* History of any neurologic disorders or seizures.
* Acute or chronic, clinically significant pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic or renal functional abnormality, as determined by physical examination or laboratory screening tests.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Healthy infants

Exclusion Criteria:

* None Specified
C: Inclusion Criteria for All Vaccinations:

* Participant was born to an HIV-1-infected mother whose HIV-1 diagnosis was determined by two different tests performed on the same or separate maternal samples obtained before or during pregnancy or during the post-partum period. Acceptable tests are antibodies in serum or saliva, HIV RNA or DNA, or antigen in the blood.
* Presence or absence of HIV RNA or DNA in the blood of the infant
* CD4% documented at screening
* Parent or legal guardian agreed to give written informed consent and was willing to comply with study requirements
* Parents/guardians of each participant stated their willingness to have the child follow the country-specific childhood Expanded Programme on Immunization ("EPI") schedule for concomitant childhood vaccines recommended during the study period
* HIV-infected participants had initiated antiretroviral therapy (ART) before or at the time of administration of the first dose of study vaccine/placebo. Note: It was not acceptable for participants to take a prescription home with them to start ART on the day of vaccination.

Inclusion Criteria for second and third vaccinations:

* Successful administration of first vaccine (for second vaccination) and second vaccine (for third vaccination)
* Participants were less than 32 weeks of age at the time of the third vaccine/placebo dose

Exclusion Criteria for All Vaccinations:

* Concurrent participation in any study of an investigational drug or vaccine, except for studies for prevention of perinatal HIV-1 transmission
* Known allergy to any component of the study vaccine
* Active gastrointestinal illness or fever. Fever was defined as greater than or equal to 38.5º C in accordance with WHO guidelines for administration of childhood vaccines.
* Could not be enrolled from any site at which rotavirus vaccine was available and was being administered
* Any condition, which would, in the opinion of the site investigator, place the participant at an unacceptable risk of injury or render the participant unable to meet the requirements of the protocol
* Any other condition, situation, or clinically significant finding (other than HIV infection) that, in the investigator's opinion, would interfere with study participation, or interpretation
* Participants with a known history of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) or intussusception

Exclusion Criteria for second and third vaccinations:

- Any Grade 4 adverse events believed to be possibly/probably/definitely related to vaccine would disqualify subjects from receiving additional doses. Grade 3 adverse events believed to be possibly/probably related to vaccine had to be demonstrated to have improved to less than Grade 2 prior to receiving the next scheduled dose.
D: INCLUSION CRITERIA:

* A male or female between, and including, 6 and 12 weeks (42-90 days) of age at the time of the first vaccination.
* Written informed consent obtained from the parent or guardian of the subject.
* Free of obvious health problems as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

* Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine(s) within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine or placebo, or planned use during the study period.
* Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs prior to the first vaccine dose, since birth. (For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone, or equivalent, greater than or equal to 0.5 mg/kg/day. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.)
* Planned administration of a vaccine (except routine paediatric vaccines) not foreseen by the study protocol. (If exceptionally OPV is given, this should be administered at least 14 days apart from the HRV vaccine or placebo dose.)
* Any clinically significant history of chronic gastrointestinal disease including any uncorrected congenital malformation of the GI tract or other serious medical condition as determined by the investigator.
* History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine.
* Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition based on medical history and physical examination (no laboratory testing is required).
* Major congenital defects or serious chronic illness.
* Gastroenteritis within 7 days preceding the study vaccine administration (warrants deferral of the vaccination).
* Administration of immunoglobulins and/or blood products since birth or planned administration during the study period. Oral intake of immunoglobulins via e.g. breastfeeding is allowed.
* Previous confirmed occurrence of RV gastroenteritis.
