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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 describe the safety profile of Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (QIV) compared to Trivalent Influenza Vaccine (TIV).
    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 19 March 2012 to 28 April 2012 at 4 clinical centers in the Philippines and 6 clinical centers in Australia.

    Pre-assignment

    Subject, Investigator
    Blinding implementation details
    The study was conducted double-blind for QIV lots (i.e., neither the investigator nor the subject/subject’s parent or legal representative, nor the study staff in charge of vaccination knew what lot of vaccine [QIV] was administered) for all subjects. The study was open for vaccine receipt (i.e. which vaccine [QIV or TIV] is administered).
