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   43845   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    1. To compare the immunological responses of infants born prematurely to Prevenar after 2 doses at 2 and 4 months of age with 3 doses at 2, 3 and 4 months of age (“early protection”).

    2. To evaluate the immunological responses of infants born prematurely to Prevenar when vaccinated under a 3-dose accelerated schedule (2, 3 and 4 months of age) compared with a 3-dose extended schedule (2, 4 and 6 months of age).

    3. To evaluate the immunological responses of infants born prematurely when vaccinated under the new national schedule to:

    · Hib
    · Meningococcal C
    · Diphtheria
    · Tetanus
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    1. To evaluate the immunological responses of infants born prematurely when vaccinated under the current national immunisation schedule to:
    Hib Meningococcal C Diphtheria Tetanus Pertussis
    2. To describe the lymphocyte profile of preterm infants at different gestations and ages
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    • Infants born at <35 weeks gestation (i.e. up to and including 34 weeks and 6 days); recruitment will be stratified such that 50% of infants are born at <30 weeks gestational age (i.e. up to and including 29 weeks and 6 days) and 50% of infants are born between 30 weeks and 34 weeks and 6 days gestational age).
    • No contraindications to vaccination as specified in the “Green Book” (Immunisation Against Infectious Disease, 2006).
    • Written informed consent obtained from the parent or legal guardian
    • Receipt of previous BCG or Hepatitis B vaccines will not be an exclusion criterion.
    • Receipt of immunoglobulin, or corticosteroids will not be an exclusion criterion.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    (i) Immunoglobulin G (IgG) geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) for the 13 pneumococcal serotypes included in Prevenar13® at one month after completion of primary immunisations (Prevenar13® administered at 2+4, 2+3+4 or 2+4+6 months);

    (ii) Proportion of infants with IgG concentrations ≥0.35 g/ml for the 13 serotypes in Prevenar13® at one month after completion of primary immunisations.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    This study aims to determine the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of the recently licensed 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13, Prevenar13®) at 3 different immunisation schedules when give concomitantly with routine vaccinations to premature infants born before 35 weeks gestation. 200 premature infants will be recruited by study personnel at 9 different hospitals and randomised to one of the 3 study arms after appropriate consent. Blood samples for immunogenicity studies will be taken before and after primary immunisation as well as before and after the booster dose of PCV13. Reactogenicity will be assessed by parent completion of a 7-day diary after each vaccine dose.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    (i) IgG GMCs for the 13 pneumococcal serotypes in Prevenar13® immediately prior to administering the 13-month Prevenar13® booster dose

    (ii) Proportion of infants with IgG concentrations ≥0.35 g/ml for the 13 serotypes in Prevenar13® immediately prior to administering the 13-month Prevenar13® booster dose

    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    This study aims to determine the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of the recently licensed 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13, Prevenar13®) at 3 different immunisation schedules when give concomitantly with routine vaccinations to premature infants born before 35 weeks gestation. 200 premature infants will be recruited by study personnel at 9 different hospitals and randomised to one of the 3 study arms after appropriate consent. Blood samples for immunogenicity studies will be taken before and after primary immunisation as well as before and after the booster dose of PCV13. Reactogenicity will be assessed by parent completion of a 7-day diary after each vaccine dose.
