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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 demonstrate that ProQuad® can be administered concomitantly with a booster dose of Infanrix® hexa to healthy children of 12 to 23 months of age without impairing neither the antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, hepatitis B, and Haemophilus influenzae type b, or to the 3 pertussis antibody titres measured at 42 days following vaccination.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Healthy subjects with prior known sensitivity/allergy to any component of the vaccine including neomycin, sorbitol or gelatine were excluded. Vaccines were administered by qualified study personnel. After each vaccination, subjects were kept under observation for at least 20 minutes to ensure their safety. Appropriate medical treatment and supervision were always readily available in case of a rare anaphylactic reaction following the administration of the vaccine.
    Background therapy
    # For Italy, primary vaccination with the combined diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, poliomyelitis, and Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine Infanrix hexa as a 2-dose schedule, with receipt of the 2nd dose ≥6 months prior to inclusion. # For Germany, primary vaccination with the combined diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, poliomyelitis, and Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine Infanrix hexa as a 3-dose schedule, with receipt of the 3rd dose ≥6 months prior to inclusion.
    Evidence for comparator
    The immunisation schedule of hexavalent vaccines consists of a primary series followed by a booster dose given at the same age as ProQuad. The rationale of the study was to generate immunogenicity and safety data for ProQuad when administered concomitantly either with the 3rd dose of Infanrix hexa (Italian schedule) or with the 4th dose of Infanrix hexa (German schedule) given in the 2nd year of life. Therefore, concomitant administration of ProQuad and Infanrix hexa was compared to administration of each of these vaccines alone.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Study subjects were enrolled between 12 January 2007 and 13 February 2008 in 51 active centres: 6 vaccination centres in Italy, and 45 private paediatricians in Germany.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    963 subjects were screened. 955 subjects were randomised (14 subjects randomised in 1 centre in Germany were excluded from analyses due to a major Good Clinical Practice (GCP) non compliance (non reliability of vaccination history)). 952 subjects received at least 1 vaccine dose. 945 subjects completed the study.

All Ab titres were measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), except Ab to Varicella determined by glycoprotein ELISA (gpELISA). Analysis was done on the Antigen-Specific Per Protocol Set (PPS), i.e. all randomised subjects initially seronegative for those antigens (Measles Ab titre <255 mIU/mL, Mumps Ab titre <10 ELISA Ab units/mL, Rubella Ab titre <10 IU/mL, and Varicella Ab titre <1.25 gpELISA units/mL) excluding subjects with protocol violations which may interfere with the immunogenicity evaluation.

    [1] - 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.
    Justification: The objective of this endpoint was to evaluate the antibody response rates to Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella 6 weeks after ProQuad dose 1, administered concomitantly or not with Infanrix hexa booster dose. So this endpoint did not concern subjects of the "Infanrix hexa" arm.

    Non-inferiority for Measles
    Statistical analysis description
    The estimates of the differences between Group 1 (ProQuad + Infanrix hexa) & Group 2 (ProQuad) response rates were calculated with their 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI). If the lower bounds of the 95% CI were greater than the non-inferiority margin, it was concluded that Group 1 response rates were non-inferior to Group 2 response rates. Statistical analysis was based on the Miettinen & Nurminen method with stratification by region. Analysis was done on the Antigen-specific PPS.

    Non-inferiority for Hepatitis B
    Statistical analysis description
    The estimates of the differences between Group 1 (ProQuad + Infanrix hexa) & Group 3 (Infanrix hexa) response rates were calculated with their 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI). If the lower bounds of the 95% CI were greater than the non-inferiority margin, it was concluded that Group 1 response rates were non-inferior to Group 3 response rates. Statistical analysis was based on the Miettinen & Nurminen method with stratification by region. Analysis was done on the PPS.

    [18] - 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.
    Justification: The objective of this endpoint was to evaluate the Geometric Mean Titres Ratios (GMTR) of individual post-/pre-vaccination anti-Pertussis antibody (Ab) titres for the 3 Pertussis antigens (PT, FHA & PRN) 6 weeks after Infanrix hexa booster dose, administered concomitantly or not with ProQuad dose 1. So this endpoint did not concern subjects of the "ProQuad" arm.

    Global summary of safety from D0 to D28 after vaccination with ProQuad dose 1 and Infanrix hexa booster dose, administered concomitantly or alone
    End point description
    Adverse events (AEs) occurring after vaccination with ProQuad and Infanrix hexa, administered concomitantly or alone, were recorded as follows: 1/ From D0 to D4: solicited injection-site adverse reactions (ISRs: erythema, pain, and swelling). 2/ From D0 to D28: # unsolicited ISRs (including erythema, pain, and swelling from D5 to D28), # AEs of interest (a/ injection-site rashes of interest, b/ non-injection site rashes of interest (Measles-like rash, Rubella-like rash, Varicella-like rash and Herpes zoster-like rash), c/ Mumps-like illness), # rectal or equivalent temperature, and # unsolicited systemic AEs. AEs at injection sites were always considered as related to ProQuad or Infanrix hexa vaccines (ISRs). The investigator had to assess whether systemic AEs were vaccine-related systemic AEs or not. Analysis was done on the Safety Analysis Set, i.e. all subjects who received at least 1 of the study vaccine(s) and who had safety follow-up data. Note: "0" means not applicable.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    12 Sep 2007
    Update of study calendar due to the extension of the subject recruitment period, and the changes in the distribution of subjects between Germany and Italy (competitive recruitment) implemented to ensure the best recruitment rate and the achievement of the global targeted included population. (This change was not expected to impact the primary objective of the study since both Infanrix hexa primary vaccination schedules provide similar protection to the subjects. In addition, the statistical models include stratification by country.)
    26 Nov 2007
    Further updated study calendar required in order to ensure the planned sample size, and the labelling of the new lot of ProQuad which was sourced from commercial product.
    11 Mar 2008
    Changes implemented concerning polio testing (Vero cells replacing Hep-2 cells).

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
