Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Trial site staff will not be aware of the next treatment-arm allocation available. Upon telephone call from trial site staff to randomise a participant, the pharmacy will allocate a number for the participant, using the next number on a randomisation list. Only the pharmacy team will be aware of the treatment-arm allocation associated with each randomisation number.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)

Summary
Brief summary
A phase I clinical trial completed in Melbourne in 2011 found the RV3-BB vaccine to be well-tolerated in adults, children and babies 6-8 weeks of age (ACTRN12610000525088).
A phase IIa clinical trial in Dunedin (ACTRN12611001212943) was designed to assess immunogenicity of the vaccine.
The aim of this phase IIb trial is to determine the efficacy of the vaccine. Newborn babies are included in this trial to examine whether administering this vaccine at birth will offer the earliest and possibly greatest protection.
Each of the babies will be randomly assigned to groups, so that two thirds of the babies will receive 3 doses of oral RV3 vaccine and one third of the babies will receive oral doses of placebo. In total each baby’s involvement will include monthly visits and additional regular follow up until 18 months of age.
