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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 non-inferiority of antibody responses induced by quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV) compared with the licensed 2011-2012 trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV; containing the B/Brisbane strain) and the investigational TIV (containing the B/Florida strain) as assessed in all subjects by geometric mean titer (GMT) for each strain
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were randomized and vaccinated in the study. Vaccinations were performed by qualified and trained study personnel. Subjects with allergy to any of the vaccine components were not vaccinated. After vaccination, subjects were also kept under clinical observation for 30 minutes to ensure their safety. Appropriate medical equipment was also available on site in case of any immediate allergic reactions.
    Background therapy
    Not applicable
    Evidence for comparator
    The licensed TIV for the 2011-2012 season containing the B/Brisbane strain (TIV1) was used as an active control.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Study subjects were enrolled from 21 October 2011 to 10 November 2011 at 14 clinical sites in France and 4 in Germany.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 1568 subjects who met all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria were enrolled and vaccinated.

    Subject, Investigator
    Blinding implementation details
    This study was blinded to the Investigator and for all subjects in the QIV and TIV1 groups. After the 1st database lock, the code could be broken by the Investigator in the event of an SAE and if identification of the vaccine received could influence SAE treatment (Responsible Medical Officer was to be notified first) and by the GPV department for reporting to Health authorities in the case of an SAE as described in International Conference on Harmonisation (only for the subject in question).

    Percentage of Subjects With Seroprotection Against Trivalent Influenza Vaccine Antigens Before and After Vaccination with a Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine Administered via the Intramuscular Route in Adults and Elderly Subjects [9] [10]
    End point description
    Immunogenicity was evaluated using the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) method. Seroprotection was defined as subjects having titers ≥ 40 (1/dil) on Day 21.

    Notes
    [9] - 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: Descriptive analyses were performed based on the study groups and the study vaccine administered for this outcome.
    [10] - 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: Immunogenicity data were presented based on vaccine and age group specified in the outcome title.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    26 Aug 2011
    A statement was added that defined specific criteria for stopping the trial during the enrollment phase in case of post-vaccination safety concerns.
    22 Mar 2012
    The protocol was amended in regards to a site (Center 003) closing. For subjects included in Center 003, the 6-month safety follow-up would be conducted by Center 004 and subjects would be asked to sign an addendum to the ICF to consent to being contacted by Center 004. It also clarified how subjects from Center 003 would be handled in the clinical database if they refuse to be followed by Center 004 for the 6-month safety follow-up and where source documents of subjects included in Center 003 are archived.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
