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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    The Novartis Meningococcal B Recombinant +/- OMV Vaccine is intended for prevention of meningitidis and/or septicemia cause by Neisseria menigitidis serogroup B. The objective of the Novartis Meningococcal B Recombinant +/-OMV Vaccine is to identify vaccine candidates that are safe and that provide functional immune responses against heterologus meningococcal B strains.

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To explore the immunogenicity of Novartis rMenB Vaccine +/- OMV when administered to healthy infants, at 30 days after the second and 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 Novartis rMenB with or without OMV throughout the clinical study.
