HRV | 329 | 81.76% | ||
Noninferiority of PCV-free HRV compared to HRV in terms of GMCs | ||||
Pooled PCV-free HRV | 984 | 159.5 U/mL | GMC ratio (pooled PCV-free HRV/HRV) | 1.04 (.82–1.33) |
HRV | 329 | 152.8 U/mL |
The adjusted GMC ratio was computed with an ANOVA model including the vaccine group (lot A, lot B, and lot C) and the country as fixed effects.
The seroconversion rate was defined as the percentage of infants who were initially seronegative (ie, with anti-RV IgA antibody concentration <20 U/mL prior the first dose) and developed anti-RV IgA antibody concentration ≥20 U/mL after the second dose.
Bolded values indicate that the lot-to-to consistency or noninferiority criteria were met.
