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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    #1. To evaluate the immunogenicity of PR5I when given at 2, 3, 4, and 12 months. #2. To compare the immunogenicity response elicited by PR5I to that of INFANRIX™ hexa when given at 2, 3, 4, and 12 months.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in healthy infants. Subjects with known or suspected hypersensitivity to any of the vaccine components or history of a life-threatening reaction to a vaccine containing the same substances as the study vaccines or concomitant vaccines were excluded. Vaccines were administered by qualified study personnel. After each vaccination, subjects were kept under observation for 30 minutes to ensure their safety. Adequate treatment provisions, including epinephrine, were available for immediate use in case of anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reactions occurring during or immediately following vaccination.
    Background therapy
    -
    Evidence for comparator
    This study was conducted in healthy infants to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 4 doses of the hexavalent PR5I when given at 2, 3, 4, and 12 months of age. INFANRIX™ hexa was chosen as the active comparator because it was the only hexavalent pediatric vaccine licensed in Europe at the time this study was conducted.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Study subjects were enrolled from 26 May 2011 (first subject entered) in 40 active centres in 3 European countries (Belgium, Finland, and Germany).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    1271 subjects were screened. 1250 subjects were randomised. 1217 subjects were included (33 subjects from 1 centre in Germany were excluded after an audit). 1188 subjects received the 3 doses of the infant series and completed period 1. 1172 subjects received the toddler dose (period 2).

    Blinding implementation details
    The parent(s)/legal representative of the subject, the Investigator, laboratory testing personnel, and sponsor/sponsor representative personnel were blinded to the vaccination group assigned. Because INFANRIX™ hexa is to be reconstituted and PR5I is ready to use, an unblinded individual at each study site who was otherwise not involved in the conduct of the study was required to prepare study vaccines to maintain the study blind.

    End point description
    % of subjects with an Ab titre ≥0.15 µg/mL for Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) (polyribosylribitol phosphate, PRP); ≥0.01 IU/mL for diphtheria & tetanus; ≥8 (1/dil) for inactivated poliovirus types 1, 2 & 3 (IPV1, 2 & 3) 1 month Post-Dose 3 of PR5I. Ab titres were measured by Radioimmunoassay (RIA) for PRP, Micrometabolic inhibition test (MIT) for diphtheria & poliovirus, and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for tetanus. Analysis was done on the Per Protocol Revised Windows (PP-RW) population, i.e. PP population using a blood draw sample window of Days 28 to 51 Post-Dose 3 or Post-Toddler dose. The immune response to PR5I vaccine was considered as acceptable if the lower bounds of the 2-sided 95% CI for the response rates were greater than the predetermined lower limits for PRP (80%), diphtheria (80%), tetanus (90%), and IPV1, 2 & 3 (90%). Acceptability was met for all considered PR5I antigens. Note: (N=***) represents the number of assessed subjects.

    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: This end point includes only one arm. Acceptability criteria were met for all the considered PR5I antigens, as described above.
    [2] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: The objective of this end point was to evaluate the acceptability of PR5I antigen response rates. So this end point included only the PR5I arm.

The immune response to PR5I vaccine was considered as acceptable if the lower bounds of the 2-sided 95% CI for the response rates were greater than the predetermined lower limits. Acceptability was met for all PR5I antigens. Note: (N=***) represents the number of assessed subjects.

    Non-inferiority for Mumps
    Statistical analysis description
    The estimate of the difference between PR5I & INFANRIX hexa groups in Mumps response rate (based on Ab titre ≥10 Ab units/mL) was calculated with its 1-sided P-value & 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI). If the lower bound of the 95% CI was greater than -5% (non-inferiority margin), it was concluded that PR5I group response rate was non-inferior to INFANRIX hexa group response rate. Analysis was done on the PP-RW population: N=467, 474 (PR5I group, INFANRIX hexa group).

    Global safety from D1 to D15 after any vaccination
    End point description
    Injection-site and systemic adverse events (AEs) were reported daily on the Vaccination Report Card (VRC) by the parent(s) or legal representative from Day 1 (D1) to D15 after each hexavalent vaccination. Solicited injection-site and systemic AEs were reported daily from D1 to D5 after each hexavalent vaccination. AEs at injection sites were always considered as vaccine-related (Injection-Site Reactions (ISRs)). The investigator had to assess whether systemic AEs were related (V-related) or not to the vaccine. All AEs (related and unrelated) are displayed here. Analysis was done on the All Subjects as Treated (ASaT) population, i.e. all randomised subjects (N=1215) who received at least 1 vaccination and who had safety follow-up.

    Statistical analysis description
    The risk differences between groups (PR5I group – INFANRIX hexa group) and their 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for the above criteria based on the unstratified Miettinen & Nurminen method. The aim of the 95% CI was to investigate whether an overall trend of risk differences existed. If the 95% CI for the risk differences included 0.0, the numerical differences were not considered significant. Analysis was done on the All Subjects as Treated (ASaT) population.

    Proportion of subjects reporting solicited systemic adverse events (AEs) from D1 to D5 after any vaccination
    End point description
    Solicited systemic AEs were defined as crying, decreased appetite, irritability, pyrexia (rectal temperature ≥38.0°C), somnolence, and vomiting occurring from Day 1 (D1) to D5 after vaccination. The investigator had to assess whether these systemic AEs were related or not to the vaccines. All (related and unrelated) are displayed here. Analysis was done on the All Subjects as Treated (ASaT) population, i.e. all randomised subjects (N=1215) who received at least 1 vaccination and who had safety follow-up.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    10 Nov 2010
    # Correction of an error regarding the adverse event causality definitions. # Other changes: a EudraCT number of 2010-021490-37 was assigned for V419-007 since protocol finalization, the protocol footer was changed from “US IND, ex-US study” to “Non-U.S. IND, Ex-U.S. Study”, updated SmPC documents for Prevenar 13™ and RotaTeq™ were added to Section 7, editorial changes were made to the table describing the study design and vaccination group assignments, and changes were made to 2 paragraphs (describing the assignment of baseline number [Section 3.2.4.2] and clinical and laboratory measurements for immunogenicity [Section 3.3.1]).
    22 Dec 2010
    # 1. Revision of the timing of when non-study vaccines could be received during the study. 2. Addition of Table 3-2 ‘Solicited Injection-Site Reactions (Definitions, Terminology and Severity Scales)’ in Section 3.4.1 (Clinical and Laboratory Measurements for Safety) in order to revise the scale for grading injection-site pain and tenderness to more directly reflect pain at the injection site. 3. Redefinition of a sub-responder to tetanus from a titer of <0.01 IU/mL to <0.1 IU/mL. 4. Addition of a text regarding the analyses of serious adverse events within 7 and 14 days following any of Doses 1 to 3 of PR5I or Control vaccines in Section 3.5.3.2 (Safety) and Section 3.5.5.2 (Statistical Methods for Safety Analysis). # Other changes in the amendment included adding further information to the product descriptions table in Section 3.6.1 (Product Descriptions).
    08 Jul 2011
    # Addition of the administration of a 2nd dose of ProQuad at the 13-month visit in order to complete the series for ProQuad, in alignment with the EU SmPC, and extension of the telephone contact at the end of the study (Visit 7) to 28 days postvaccination to align with the recommended safety follow-up period for live virus vaccines. # Other changes in the amendment: 1. Change of the recommended injection site of ProQuad. 2. Remove of the text reiterating that serum was to be tested for responses to all PR5I/Control antigens and that ProQuad antigens were to be tested from serum drawn at Visit 6 from Section 1.4 (Summary of Study Design), Section 2.4.1 (Summary of Study Design), and Section 3.2.4.10 (Treatment/Vaccination/Evaluation/Follow-Up). 3. Remove of the word ‘SPONSOR’ throughout Section 3.6 to indicate that only Merck, the SPONSOR Representative, was to supply and handle the clinical supplies. 4. Addition of text to Section 3.2.4.11.1 (Blinding) to clarify that all safety and immunogenicity assessments were to be performed by blinded site personnel. 5. Replacement of the abbreviation of ‘PCV 13’ with ‘Prevenar 13™’. 6. Correction of the planned enrollment period to ‘approximately 10 months’ in Section 1.4 (Summary of Study Design) and Section 2.4.1 (Summary of Study Design). 7. Addition of text in Section 3.4.7 (Pharmacovigilance Regulatory Requirements) to clarify that the expectedness of serious adverse events for all licensed vaccines used during the study was based on the vaccine’s SmPC. 8. Addition of text in Section 3.4.7 (Pharmacovigilance Regulatory Requirements) to clarify that any unexpected serious adverse event assessed as possibly, probably or definitely related to the study vaccine was to be reported to concerned Health Authorities in accordance with all applicable local laws and regulations. 9. Addition of updated SmPCs for Prevenar 13™, RotaTeq™ and INFANRIX™ hexa to Section 7 (Attachments).
    08 Feb 2012
    # Revision (for clarity) of the criterion for exclusion from the PP immunogenicity analysis related to vaccine dosing in Section 3.5.10. + changes and updates in Sections 1.4 (Summary of Study Design), 2.4.1 (Summary of Study Design), and 3.5.10 (Description of Protocol Violations) to reflect the clarification. # Other changes in the amendment: 1. Update of Table 3-1 in Section 3.2.4.10 (Treatment/Vaccination/Evaluation/Follow-Up) to change the recommendation to administer ProQuad™ in the right upper thigh at Visits 5 and 6 instead of the original recommendation to administer in the right lower thigh (in alignment with the SmPC for ProQuad™). Because of this change, the last dose of Prevenar 13™ at Visit 6 (administered concomitantly with ProQuad™) was to be administered in the right lower thigh (in alignment with the SmPC for Prevenar 13™). 2. Update of the paragraph on vaccine supplies in Section 3.6.4 (Storage and Handling Requirements – Vaccine Product) to reflect that new shippers were to be used to provide all clinical supplies to the sites. 3. Addition of updated SmPCs for Prevenar 13™, INFANRIX™ hexa and ProQuad™ to Section 7 Attachments.
    13 Mar 2013
    # Amendement date: 24 April 2013 (written after the global end of trial dated 13 March 2013) # Addition of a 2nd PP population (referred to as PP-RW) in addition to the existing PP population (referred to as PP-OW) to account for subjects who had blood draws outside of narrow protocol-defined visit windows. PP-RW is defined as the PP population using a blood draw sample window of Days 28 to 51 following Dose 3 or the Toddler dose. PP-OW is defined as the PP population using a blood draw sample window of Days 28 to 44 following Dose 3 or the Toddler dose. # Other changes in the amendment: 1. Update of the footnote in Section 1.4 (Summary of Study Design), regarding Prevenar 13™. 2. Revision of the criteria for systemic corticosteroid use resulting in exclusion from the PP analysis populations in Section 3.2.1 (Concomitant Medication(s)/Treatment(s)) to align with national vaccine policy and professional practice guidelines. 3. Revision of the assay descriptions for Poliovirus and detection of IgG antibodies to measles and rubella in Section 3.3.1 (Clinical and Laboratory Measurements for Immunogenicity). 4. Remove of the Summary of Product Characteristics for INFANRIX™ hexa, RotaTeq™, PREVENAR 13™ and ProQuad™ from Section 7 (Attachments). 5. Implementation of other general text changes throughout the protocol to improve clarity.
