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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Infants and young children do not respond as well as adults to the flu vaccines currently available in the UK. Fluad, or ATIV is a different type of influenza vaccine has been available in the European continent for the last decade, and contains an adjuvant known as MF59. This vaccine has been used extensively in adults, but is not yet licensed for use in children. Previous studies have shown that it does produce an enhanced immune response in children compared with traditional vaccines (TIV), and that it is safe in this age group. However, the specific means by which MF59 influences the immune system are not fully characterised. This study aims to assess the genes that are ‘switched on’ in response to immunisation with these two vaccines to better understand how the immune response to these vaccines differs.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Ethical, Legal and Management Protection: Every effort was made to ensure that parents or guardians giving informed consent were able to understand fully the nature of the study including the risks, burdens, benefits and implications that taking part had for their child. The study involved the collection of three blood samples that would not normally be part of routine care. In order to minimise any discomfort, local anaesthetic cream was offered to numb the skin prior to the sample being collected. The members of the study team undertaking venepuncture had specific training and experience in this technique. With the parent/guardians agreement two attempts at blood sampling were made and if unsuccessful a further visit was arranged by the study team. Strict inclusion and exclusion criteria applied to the enrolment of each study participant. The study complied with the Data Protection Act which requires data to be anonymised as soon as it is practical to do so ensuring that the participant's anonymity was maintained throughout the trial. This is a descriptive study to understand how genetic responses vary at different times following immunisation with two different influenza vaccines. Participants had the advantage of receiving one of the influenza vaccines, which is not part of their routine schedule. Participant involvement will help us to understand these responses and plan future vaccine development. Participants could withdraw from the study at any time.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    07 Nov 2012
    Substantial Amendment 1: the amendment covered a change to V2.0 of the protocol because of on-going difficulties sourcing the control TIV vaccine Agrippal. The Protocol has been amended to allow for the possibility of an additional control vaccine (Imuvac), depending on vaccine availability at the start of enrolment. In addition a further information booklet and Health professional letter has been created to explain the study with use of the Imuvac vaccine. A letter/ Compliments slip has also been created to explain the changes to parents.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
