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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate sequentially if the immunogenicity (as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA]) of GSK Biologicals’ HPV-16/18 L1 Virus-like-particle (VLP) AS04 vaccine administered according to a 2-dose schedule at 0, 6 months is non-inferior/superior to that of Merck's HPV-6/11/16/18 L1 VLP recombinant vaccine administered according to a 2-dose schedule at 0, 6 months in 9-14 year-old females, 1 month after the last dose (Month 7).
    Protection of trial subjects
    All subjects were observed closely for 30 min after vaccination/product administration, with appropriate medical treatment readily available in case of a rare anaphylactic reaction. Vaccines/products were administered by qualified and trained personnel. Vaccines/products were administered only to eligible subjects that had no contraindications to any components of the vaccines/products. Subjects were followed-up for 30 days after the last vaccination/product administration.

    Blinding implementation details
    Data was collected in an observer-blind manner. By observer-blind, it is meant that during the course of the study, the vaccine recipient and those responsible for the evaluation of any study endpoint (e.g. immunogenicity, reactogenicity, and safety) were all unaware of which vaccine was administered. To do so, vaccine preparation and administration were be done by authorised medical personnel who did not participate in any of the study clinical evaluation assays.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: 1079 subjects entered this study, of which 4 subjects signed an informed consent but did not receive a single dose of the vaccine and were hence not counted as starting the study.

    End point description
    Data at Month 36 were also expressed as International Units per milliliter (IU)/mL. Conversion factor from EU/mL to IU/mL was determined to be 1/6.1 for HPV-16 and 1/5.7 for HPV-18, using the WHO International Standards (NIBSC codes 05-134 and 10-140 for HPV-16 and HPV-18, respectively). The assay cut-offs were therefore 3.1 IU/mL and 3.2 IU/mL for anti-HPV-16 and anti-HPV-18 antibodies, respectively.

    Number of subjects with any, grade 3 and related unsolicited adverse events (AEs)
    End point description
    An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination. Grade 3 AE = an AE which prevented normal, everyday activities. Related = AE assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    02 Jul 2012
    Amendment 1: At the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) request, GSK Biologicals has updated its procedure for emergency unblinding during the conduct of a clinical study. According to the revised procedure, the responsibility and the decision to break the treatment code in emergency situations resides solely with the investigator and consequently, the investigator had full authority to break the treatment code.
    28 Nov 2013
    Amendment 2: The assay used to measure anti-HPV-16/-18 antibody concentrations at the designated laboratory was improved to increase the assay precision by changing the assay cut-off value from 8 EL.U/mL to 19 EL.U/mL for HPV-16 and from 7 EL.U/mL to 18 EL.U/mL for HPV-18. This change in the assay was implemented for the testing of samples at all time points.
    24 Jun 2014
    Amendment 3: At the time of study initiation, Cervarix was approved to be administered according to a 3-dose vaccination course. Subjects belonging to the Cervarix 2 dose Group and Gardasil 2 dose Group received two doses of either Cervarix or Gardasil during the primary study epoch. These subjects were to be offered a third dose of the vaccine that they received at the end of the study, at Month 36. Recently, the 2-dose schedule of Cervarix and Gardasil has been approved in some countries, and hence the protocol is being amended to reflect that a third dose of the vaccine that they received was offered to the subjects in the two 2-dose groups (Cervarix 2 dose Group and Gardasil 2 dose Group) only if required based on local prescribing recommendations. In addition, the indication for Cervarix and the list of contributing authors have been updated. The number of countries in which Cervarix and Gardasil are licensed has been updated. Minor changes have been made in a few sections to correct typographical errors.
