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   43857   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
    To evaluate whether TroVax® is active in the treatment of MPM. This will be assessed by measuring the cellular or humoral anti-5T4 immune responses following treatment with TroVax® given in combination with Pem/Cis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial involved the use of a genetically modified vaccine and this was reviewed and given ethical approval by the Gene Therapy Advisory Committee. Standard Operating procedures for the receipt, handling, storage, dispensing, transport, administration and disposal of the vaccine were put in place before the trial opened to protect patients and trial staff. All patients were monitored for safety and serious adverse events throughout the trial.

    Primary: Immune response to 5T4 (humoral or cellular)

    Close Top of page
    End point title
    Immune response to 5T4 (humoral or cellular) [1]
    End point description
    The outcome measure is the immune response to the 5T4 antigen. A success in this trial is defined as an increased response (at least a doubling in the 5T4 antibody or T-cell response) from that measured at baseline at any of the six follow-up time points. The sample size was determined using Fleming’s single arm design. Using Fleming’s single-stage design, p1=0.40 and p2=0.64, setting alpha=0.05 (1-sided) and 80% power, 26 participants are required. If a doubling of 5T4 immune reponse is seen in at least 16 patients, then we can reject the null hypothesis that the vaccine does not elicit an immune response.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    The immune response is measured at six follow-up time points: after 2 injections; after 3 injections; after 4 injections; after 5 injections; after 9 injections; 10 weeks after the last injection.
    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 Fleming's design requires a threshold number of events (n=16) to be observed. We observed 22 events. No further statistical analysis was required other than counting the number of events.
