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   43843   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To explore the immunogenicity of Novartis rMenB Vaccine +/- OMV-NZ when administered to healthy infants at 2, 4 and 6 months of age, at 30 days after the third dose, by evaluation of the breadth of bactericidal activity (BCA) response against a panel of genetically distinct meningococcal strains. To explore the safety and tolerability of the study and concomitant vaccines in all study subjects.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This trial was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, GCP according to International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines, and applicable regulatory requirement(s) for the country in which the trial was conducted, and applicable Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Specifically, this trial was conducted by scientifically and medically qualified persons who respected the rights and welfare of the subjects and after the review and approval of the protocol by an EC.

    Geometric Mean Ratios to baseline against a panel of genetically distinct meningococcal strains 30 days after the third immunization [7] [8]
    End point description
    Geometric Mean Ratios (GMRs) as measure of the bactericidal activity against the for the three major meningococcal B strains (Strain 44/76-SL, Strain 5/99, Strain NZ98/254) in subjects treated with Novartis rMenB Vaccine +/- OMV NZ (Groups I and II) at 30 days after the third immunization. The analysis was done on the Per Protocol population at one month after third injection.

    Notes
    [7] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: There was no statistical null hypothesis associated with this immunogenicity objective.
    [8] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
