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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 ).

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A phase III, open-label, randomised multicentre study to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a booster dose of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals’ dTpa-IPV vaccine (Boostrix Polio) compared with Sanofi Pasteur MSD’s dTpa-IPV vaccine (Repevax), when co-administered with GSK Biologicals’ MMR vaccine (Priorix) in 3 and 4-year-old healthy children.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    • To demonstrate that GSK Biologicals’ dTpa-IPV vaccine is non-inferior to Sanofi Pasteur MSD’s dTpa-IPV vaccine in terms of percentages of subjects with immune response to the diphtheria, tetanus and polio antigens, one month after booster vaccination. • To demonstrate that GSK Biologicals’ dTpa-IPV vaccine given as a single booster dose in this study is non-inferior to GSK Biologicals’ DTPa vaccine (Infanrix) given as a primary series in the German household contact study APV-039 in terms of anti-PT, anti-FHA and anti-PRN geometric mean concentrations (GMCs), one month after booster vaccination.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The vaccine was administered with caution to subjects with thrombocytopenia or a bleeding disorder since bleeding may have occurred following an intramuscular administration to these subjects. Firm pressure was applied to the injection site (without rubbing) for at least two minutes.
