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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the consistency of the Postdose 3 immune response to three manufactured lots of PR5I when given at 2, 4, and 6 months of age with respect to geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) and geometric mean titers (GMTs).
    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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Study subjects were enrolled from 11 May 2011 to 26 July 2013 at 73 clinical sites in the United States.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 2808 subjects met all of the inclusion criteria and were enrolled and randomized. Infant vaccinations were administered at 2, 4, and 6 months and the toddler vaccinations at 15 months of age. The Interim Period is the time between the last vaccination of the infant series and the time of administration of the toddler vaccination.

    End point description
    Subject serum samples were collected for testing with a radioimmunoassay for antibodies to Haemophilus influenza type b capsular polysaccharide polyribosylribitol phosphate (PRP). The analysis population included subjects who met the inclusion criteria, were not protocol violators, had an infant vaccination window of 42 to 84 days after the previous dose, and a blood draw sample window for the endpoint of 28 to 51 days after dose 3.

    [1] - The estimates for GMC ratio are based on an ANCOVA model with natural log-transformed postvaccination titer as the response variable, and vaccination group, natural log-transformed, prevaccination titer, actual brand of birth dose Hepatitis B vaccine as explanatory variables. Equivalence required that the lower and upper limits of the 95% confidence interval of the GMC ratios between any 2 lots were within the equivalence margin (0.67 to 1.5).

    Subject serum samples were collected for testing with a radioimmunoassay for antibodies to Haemophilus influenza type b capsular polysaccharide polyribosylribitol phosphate (PRP). Sera response or endpoint was defined as a titer ≥0.15 µg/mL and ≥1.0 µg/mL. The analysis population included subjects who met the inclusion criteria, were not protocol violators, had an infant vaccination window of 42 to 84 days after the previous dose, and a blood draw sample window for the endpoint of 28 to 51 days after dose 3.

    Percentage of Subjects Responding to Pertussis Toxin
    End point description
    Subject serum samples were collected for testing with an ELISA for antibodies to pertussis toxin. Sera response or endpoint was defined as follows: (1) if the pre dose titer was <4 times the lower limit of quantitation (4X LLOQ) then the post dose titer was ≥4X LLOQ; (2) if the predose titer was ≥4X LLOQ then the post dose titer was ≥ the predose titer. The analysis population included subjects who met the inclusion criteria, were not protocol violators, had an infant vaccination window of 42 to 84 days after the previous dose, and a blood draw sample window for the endpoint of 28 to 51 days after dose 3.

    End point description
    Subject serum samples were collected for testing with a microneutralization inhibition test for neutralizing antibodies to Poliovirus Type 1. Sera response or endpoint is defined as a titer ≥8. The analysis population included subjects who met the inclusion criteria, were not protocol violators, had an infant vaccination window of 42 to 84 days after the previous dose, and a blood draw sample window for the endpoint of 28 to 51 days after dose 3.

    [88] - The estimates for GMC, GMC ratio, and p-value are based on an ANCOVA model with natural log-transformed postvaccination titer as the response variable, and vaccination group, natural log-transformed, prevaccination titer, actual brand of birth dose Hepatitis B vaccine as explanatory variables. Non-inferiority required that the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval of the GMC ratio is ≥0.67.

    Percentage of Subjects Responding to Pertussis Toxin
    End point description
    Subject serum samples were collected for testing with an ELISA for antibodies to pertussis toxin. Sera response or endpoint was defined as follows: 1) if the predose titer was <4X LLOQ then the postdose titer was ≥4X LLOQ; 2) if the predose titer was ≥4X LLOQ then the postdose titer was ≥ the predose titer. The analysis population included subjects who met the inclusion criteria, were not protocol violators, had an infant vaccination window of 42 to 84 days after the previous dose, and a blood draw sample window for the endpoint of 28 to 51 days after dose 4.

    [103] - The estimates for GMC, GMC ratio, and p-values are based on an ANCOVA model with natural log-transformed postvaccination titer as the response variable, and vaccination group, natural log-transformed, prevaccination titer, actual brand of birth dose Hepatitis B vaccine as explanatory variables. Non-inferiority required that the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval of the GMC ratio is ≥0.67.

    Added a new primary statistical analysis method for all GMT analyses to account for missing baseline titers due to limited serum volumes obtained from 2-month old infant subjects at study entry, added a second Per Protocol population (referred to as Per Protocol-Revised Window) in addition to the existing Per Protocol population (Per Protocol-Original Window) to account for subjects who received study vaccinations and/or blood draws outside of narrow protocol-defined visit windows, and added 2 sensitivity analyses: (1) analysis of GMT endpoints with no baseline adjustment and (2) analysis of GMT endpoints based on data from subjects with both baseline and post vaccination titers to support the ANCOVA with multiple imputation for missing baseline titers primary analysis for GMT endpoints.
