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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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
    This study will determine whether participants who receive V419 (PR5I) at 2, 4, and 11 to 12 months of age have an acceptable response to the vaccine. This study will also determine whether the immune response to V419 is similar to that of participants who received a licensed vaccine control. The primary hypothesis is that participants who receive PR5I at 2, 4, and 11 to 12 months have an acceptable response rate to all PR5I-contained antigens at one month after the toddler dose of PR5I.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice standards and applicable country and/or local statutes and regulations regarding ethical committee review, informed consent, and the protection of human subjects participating in biomedical research. The following additional measures defined for this individual study were in place for the protection of trial subjects: After each vaccination, participants 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.

Seroresponse: (1) If pre-Dose 1 Ab concentration (cc) was <LLOQ (lower limit of quantitation), postvaccination Ab cc was ≥LLOQ, (2) If pre-Dose 1 Ab cc was ≥LLOQ, postvaccination Ab cc was ≥prevaccination levels. Analysis population: participants who met the inclusion criteria, were not protocol violators, received PR51 vaccinations within acceptable day ranges, and had a blood draw sample window of Days 28 to 51 following the Toddler dose. The analysis populations may not have been identical for each antigen-specific analysis at each post-vaccination visit.

    Non-inferiority Ab response rates to PR5I antigens one month after the Toddler dose of PR5I (11 to 12 months of age) as compared with INFANRIX hexa
    End point description
    Percentage of participants with pre-specified Ab titre for PRP, HBsAg, diphtheria, tetanus, IPV1, 2 & 3, and percentage of pertussis seroresponder participants (PT, FHA, FIM and PRN) 1 month post-toddler dose were calculated based on the method by Miettinen and Nurminen stratified by country. Seroresponse was defined: (1) If pre-Dose 1 Ab cc was <LLOQ, post-vaccination Ab cc was ≥LLOQ, (2) If pre-Dose 1 Ab cc was ≥LLOQ, post-vaccination Ab cc was ≥pre-vaccination levels. Due to the timing of the occurrence of protocol violation or the availability of each antigen serology testing result, the analysis populations may not have been identical for each antigen-specific analysis at each post-vaccination visit. Analysis population: participants who met the inclusion criteria, were not protocol violators, received vaccinations within acceptable day ranges, and had a blood draw sample window of Days 28 to 51 following the Toddler dose.

    Notes
    [26] - The estimate for anti-rotavirus IgA GMT ratio (PR5I group/INFANRIX hexa group) was calculated with its 1-sided P-value and 2-sided 95% CI. If the lower bound of the 95% CI for GMT ratio was greater than 0.50 (non-inferiority margin), it was concluded that the Rotarix antigen response in the PR5I group was not inferior to the Rotarix antigen response in the INFANRIX hexa group.

    Number of participants who experienced an adverse event (AE) from Day 1 to Day 15 after any vaccination
    End point description
    Injection-site and systemic 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 vaccination. Solicited injection site and systemic AEs were reported daily from D1 to D5 after each vaccination. AEs at injection sites were always considered as vaccine-related (V-related) (Injection-Site Reactions [ISRs]). The investigator had to assess whether systemic AEs were related or not to the vaccine. All AEs (related and unrelated) are displayed here. Analysis population: all randomized participants who received at least 1 vaccination and who had safety follow-up.

    [44] - The risk differences between groups (PR5I group – INFANRIX hexa group) and their 2-sided 95% CI were calculated for the above criteria based on the unstratified Miettinen & Nurminen method. If the 95% CI for the risk differences included 0.0, the numerical differences were not considered significant.

    Date
    Amendment
    01 Apr 2011
    Amendment 1:The primary reasons for this amendment was (1) to designate that a subset of participants would receive Rotarix™ concomitantly with PR5I or INFANRIX hexa, while another subset of participants would receive RotaTeq™ concomitantly with PR5I or INFANRIX hexa; (2) revise the power statement for the secondary hypothesis for Rotarix™ immunogenicity; and (3) indicate that RotaTeq™ was to be administered at 2, 4, and 5 months of age.
    13 May 2011
    Amendment 2: The primary reason for this amendment was to designate that RotaTeq™ was to be supplied centrally by Merck.
