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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 demonstrate the non-inferiority of MMRV vaccine co-administered with MenC conjugate vaccine compared to the first dose of MMRV vaccine alone with respect to anti-measles, anti-mumps, anti-rubella, and anti-varicella seroconversion rates at Day 42 after dose 1. To demonstrate the non-inferiority of MenC conjugate vaccine coadministered with MMRV compared to MenC conjugate vaccine alone with respect to rSBA-MenC antibody seroprotection rates at Day 42 after vaccination.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The subjects will be observed closely for at least 30 minutes, with appropriate medical treatment readily available in case of anaphylaxis following the administration of vaccine(s).

    Seroconversion was defined as the appearance of antibodies (i.e. concentration/titre ≥ the cut-off value) in the serum of subjects seronegative before vaccination. The cut-off values for serocoversion was 150 mIU/mL, 231 U/mL, 4 IU/mL and 25 mIU/mL for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella, respectively.

    Rash/exanthem was defined as: 1) measles/ rubella rashes (macular or maculo-papular rashes): presence of macules, discolored small patches or spots of the skin, neither elevated nor depressed below the skin’s surface. 2) varicella rash (maculo-papulo-vesicular): simultaneous presence of macules, papules and vesicles raised above the skin’s surface or other types of rash (heat rash, diaper rash etc.). Any rash = no lesions and grade 3 = > 150 lesions.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    23 Jul 2012
    Rationale for amendment: The period of recruitment was extended from 3 to 6 months. Reporting of local solicited AEs and reporting of unsolicited AEs after vaccination at Visit 2 was not collected, because the vaccinations administered at Visit 2 were not considered as study vaccines.
    24 Sep 2012
    Rationale for amendment: Change made in the estimated sample size which was decreased from the initially estimated 808 subjects to 720 subjects. This change was made since the study sites were not able to recruit the initially estimated target population during the planned study period, due to the following reason: In November 2011, the Italian National Drug Agency (Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco [AIFA]) released a recommendation on the varicella vaccination strategy. The recommendation strongly discouraged the administration of measles mumps rubella varicella vaccine (MMRV) (Priorix Tetra) as the first dose and was in favour of the concomitant administration of the measles mumps rubella vaccine (MMR) and the monovalent varicella vaccine (V), due to the higher risk of febrile convulsions associated with the former. A section of paediatricians and health care providers (HCPs) prefer the MMR+V immunization strategy as compared to the MMRV immunization strategy. The recommendation had affected the recruitment rate of this study and a lower recruitment rate of subjects as compared to the recruitment rate forecasted based on the study feasibility activities (carried out before November 2011), was observed. The reduction in sample size from 808 subjects to 720 subjects was made keeping in mind that it provided sufficient power to answer the study objectives (to allow consistent comparison among the study arms), as the results of this study are of value to the countries/HCPs that plan to administer MMRV+ meningococcal C (MenC) vaccines concomitantly.
