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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    1. To evaluate the tolerability of the 5-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine when administered concomitantly with GARDASIL™ to 16- to 26-year-old women. 2. To demonstrate that administration of the 5-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine concomitantly with GARDASIL™ (different injection sites in separate limbs) induces non-inferior Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for anti-HPV 6, 11, 16, and 18 compared to GARDASIL™ administered concomitantly with placebo.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice standards and applicable country and/or local statutes and regulations regarding ethical committee review, informed consent, and the protection of human subjects participating in biomedical research.

    Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) to the HPV Types Contained in the Study Vaccines
    End point description
    Serum antibodies to HPV Types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 were measured using a Competitive Luminex Immunoassay. Titers are reported in milli Merck Units/mL. Titers given as zero (0) were reported as 'less than' values; these were <4 milli Merck Units/mL for Type 33 and Type 45, <2 milli Merck Units/mL for Type 52, and <3 milli Merck Units/mL for Type 58. Statistical analysis includes only HPV types contained in the Gardasil™ vaccine.

    Secondary: Percentage of Participants with Seroconversion to the HPV Types Contained in the Study Vaccines

    End point title
    Percentage of Participants with Seroconversion to the HPV Types Contained in the Study Vaccines
    End point description
    Serum antibodies to HPV types were measured with a Competitive Luminex Immunoassay. The serostatus cutoffs (milli Merck U/mL) for HPV types were as follows: HPV Type 6: ≥20; HPV Type 11: ≥16; HPV Type 16: ≥20; HPV Type 18: ≥24; HPV Type 31: ≥10; HPV Types 33, 45, 52, and 58: ≥8. For the V504 + Gardasil™ arm, the criterion for acceptability of the seroconversion percentage for HPV Types 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 required that the lower bound of the 2-sided 95% confidence interval be >90%.
