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.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Patient is 18 years of age or greater.
    2. Patient is scheduled to undergo cardiothoracic surgery involving a full median sternotomy (not including cardiac transplantation surgery) within 14 to 60 days postvaccination.
    3. Patient is able to understand all study procedures and agrees to participate in the study by providing written informed consent.
    4. Patient intends to participate for the entire study duration (i.e., through postoperative Day 90 for the purposes of active efficacy surveillance for all patients; through postoperative Day 360 for long-term safety surveillance for all patients; and through postoperative Day 360 for long-term immunogenicity and nasal colonization surveillance for a subset of patients [N=400]).
    5. Female patients of reproductive potential are required to have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test immediately prior to study vaccination. Female patients of reproductive potential must have been using an acceptable form of birth control for
    two weeks prior to enrollment, and agree to use an acceptable method of birth control for one month postvaccination. Acceptable methods of birth control include use of hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine device (IUD), diaphragm with spermicide, contraceptive sponge, tubal ligation, condoms, or abstinence.

    2. Patient’s underlying condition is sufficiently unstable so that there is a(>50%) possibility that cardiothoracic surgery will be necessary within 10 days following study entry/vaccination.
    3. Patient is planning to undergo cardiothoracic surgery which does not involve a full median sternotomy (i.e., minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery).
    4. Patient is planning to undergo cardiac transplantation surgery or sternal debridement to remedy an infection resulting from a prior cardiothoracic surgery.
    5. Patient has any type of ventricular-assist device in place at time of study entry.
    6. Patient has a history of anaphylaxis to any of the vaccine components.
    7. Patient has previously received V710 (in either this study or a previous V710 study).
    8. Patient has received any other investigational S. aureus vaccine or any investigational S. aureus antibodies within the 12 months prior to study entry.
    9. Patient has a temperature of ≥100.4ºF (≥38.0ºC), oral equivalent, within 48 hours prior to study vaccination.
    10. Patient has received a live virus vaccine within 30 days prior to receipt of the study vaccine or is scheduled to receive any live virus vaccine within 30 days postvaccination.
    11. Patient has received any other licensed vaccine (including inactivated or recombinant vaccines) within 14 days prior to receipt of the study vaccine or is scheduled to receive any other licensed vaccine (including non-live virus vaccines) within 30 days postvaccination. (NOTE: Influenza and pneumococcal vaccines may be administered during the study, but must be given at least 7 days prior to or at least 15 days after study vaccination).
    12. Patient was administered any immunoglobulin within 90 days prior to study vaccination or is scheduled to receive such products at any time through postoperative Day 90.
    13. Patient has received treatment with systemic (intramuscular, oral, or intravenous) corticosteroids (at a prednisone-equivalent dose of ≥20 mg daily), another immunosuppressive medication (e.g., calcineurin inhibitors, mycophenolate, azathioprine), or biological agents (e.g., rituximab) in the 14 days prior to study vaccination, or is anticipated to receive such medications for a chronic medical condition at any time through postoperative Day 90.

Patient has a known or suspected impairment of immunologic function including, but not limited to, the following conditions: autoimmune disease, moderate/severe hepatic insufficiency or cirrhosis, renal failure or insufficiency (on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis), immunoglobulin deficiency, or other congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, including HIV/AIDS.
    15. Patient has a condition such as hemophilia, other severe coagulation disorders, or significantly impaired venous access, in which repeated venipuncture or injections pose more than minimal risk.
    16. Patient is currently pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning to conceive at any time through postoperative Day 90.
    17. Patient has a medical condition in which the expected survival is less than 90 days.
    18. Patient has current evidence or a recent history (within the five years prior to study entry) of intravenous drug abuse.
    19. Patient has participated in another clinical trial in the 4 weeks prior to study entry, or plans to participate in a treatment-based trial or another trial in which an invasive procedure is to be performed, at any time through postoperative Day 90. (NOTE: Participation in a non-interventional surveillance study is acceptable at anytime during the course of this trial).
    20. Patient has a history of any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may pose an additional risk to the patient or confound the results of this study.
