Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44132   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7324   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Immunogenicity
    Primary series
    Hemagglutination inhibition assays will be performed using:
    1.Horse erythrocytes (hemagglutination inhibition using horse erythrocytes [HIH] method) for all subjects.
    2.Turkey erythrocytes (hemagglutination inhibition using turkey erythrocytes [HIT] method) for a subset of 80 subjects in each formulation group (40 subjects per age sub-group) for one vaccine strain only - H5N1 A/Vietnam: A/Vietnam/1194/2004/NIBRG-14 (H5N1) (henceforth referred to as A/Vietnam).
    Anti-Hemagglutinin (anti-HA) titers against the A/H5N1 strain will be expressed as described below:
    •Anti-HA Ab titer obtained in duplicate on D0, D21, and D42, and summarized at the subject level by individual geometric means of duplicates at each timepoint. The following endpoints will be derived:
    •Individual titer ratios D21/D0, D42/D0, and D42/D21.
    •Proportion of subjects with titer ≥40 (turkey) or ≥32 (horse) 1/dilution (dil) on D0, D21 and D42.
    •Seroconversion (for subjects with a titer <10 [turkey] or <8 [horse] [1/dil] on D0: post-injection titer
    ≥ 40 [turkey] or ≥32 [horse] [1/dil])
    or
