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   43861   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
    One month after vaccination: - To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the vaccine response induced by meningococcal vaccine GSK134612 compared to the licensed Mencevax ACWY measured by serum bactericidal antibodies using baby rabbit complement. - To demonstrate the non-inferiority of meningococcal vaccine GSK 134612 compared to the licensed Mencevax ACWY in terms of the incidence of any grade 3 systemic symptom within four days after vaccination based on the analysis of pooled safety and reactogenicity data of this present study and study 109067 (MenACWY-TT-035).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Vaccines were administered by qualified and trained personnel. Vaccines were administered only to eligible subjects that had no contraindications to any components of the vaccines.

    Vaccine response induced by Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135 and Y (MenA, MenC, MenW-135 and menY) as measured by serum bactericidal antibodies using baby rabbit complement (rSBA), was defined as an rSBA titer of at least 1:32 in subjects initially seronegative [rSBA titer below (<) 1:8] and as a 4-fold increase in titer in subjects initially seropositive [rSBA titer greater than or equal to (≥) 1:8]. The analysis was performed on the According-to-Protocol (ATP) cohort for immunogenicity, which included all evaluable subjects for whom immunogenicity data were available.
