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   43977   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7312   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
    To assess the specificity of the C-Tb skin test as a function of the cut-off value (i.e., the smallest size of induration measured in mm resulting in a negative outcome of the C-Tb test) when the test is administered intradermally by the Mantoux technique to healthy BCG vaccinated adults. The present phase IIa (TESEC-03) trial in a healthy BCG vaccinated population collected data on the distribution of the induration response, if any, to C-Tb in this population. The specificity of the C-Tb test was defined as the relative frequency of subjects in a healthy population (i.e., no exposure to MTb) who have an induration response < cut-off after a C-Tb test.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Based on previous trials, 0.01 and 0.1 μg was considered safe and well tolerated.

    C-Tb and PPD RT 23 SSI were manufactured as solutions for injection and both appeared as clear and colourless liquids. Each subject was administered 1 injection of the IMP C-Tb (0.1 μg / 0.1 mL) in one arm and 1 injection of the comparator PPD RT 23 SSI (2 T.U. / 0.1 mL) in the other arm according to split body design using a randomisation code by the Mantoux injection technique, which is the currently approved injection technique for the comparator

    Each subject was administered 1 injection of the IMP C-Tb (0.1 μg / 0.1 mL) in one arm and 1 injection of the comparator PPD RT 23 SSI (2 T.U. / 0.1 mL) in the other arm according to a randomisation code by use of the Mantoux injection technique, which is the currently approved injection technique for the comparator. A disposable graduated 1 mL syringe equipped with a short-bevelled needle sized 26 gauges was used for the injection. Stretching the skin slightly and holding the needle almost parallel to the skin with the bevelled side upwards the needle was inserted through the epidermis into the flexor surface of the right or left volar part of the forearm 5-10 cm below the elbow point. The needle was visible through the epidermis before 0.1 mL of the test solution was injected slowly intradermally.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: No parametric model for the distribution was proposed,so the empirical cumulative distribution function,defined on the range from 0mm to the maximal observed diameter will constitute the main outcome of the study. For each value of d (diameter of C-Tb) in this range, an exact 95% CI for the true value of F(d) will be calculated. The estimated value of F(d) can be interpreted as the specificity of a MTb test using the value d+1 as cut-off, i.e. values above d were considered MTb test positive
