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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A Phase III, randomised, partially-blind, controlled, multi-centric, multi-country study to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of GSK Biologicals’ MenACWY-TT conjugate vaccine co-administered with Boostrix® administered intramuscularly versus MenACWY-TT alone administered intramuscularly, in healthy adolescents and young adults between 11 and 25 years of age.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    •To demonstrate the non-inferiority of MenACWY-TT co-administered with Boostrix compared to MenACWY-TT administered alone with respect to serum bactericidal assay using rabbit complement (rSBA) geometric mean titres (GMTs) for serogroups A, C, W-135 and Y one month after MenACWY-TT vaccination. •To demonstrate the non-inferiority of Boostrix co-administered with MenACWY-TT compared to Boostrix administered alone in terms of anti-diphtheria toxoid (anti-D) and anti-tetanus toxoid (anti-T) antibody concentrations one month after Boostrix vaccination. •To demonstrate the non-inferiority of Boostrix co-administered with MenACWY-TT compared to Boostrix administered alone with respect to geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) to each discrete pertussis antigen (pertussis toxoid [PT], filamentous haemagglutinin [FHA] and pertactin [PRN]) one month after Boostrix vaccination.
    Protection of trial subjects
    All subjects were supervised after vaccination/product administration with appropriate medical treatment readily available. 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.

    [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: Out of the 692 subjects enrolled in this study, one subject was eliminated due to not receiving vaccination, hence only 691 subject started the study.

    Notes
    [15] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: Because of splitting into primary/secondary end points for some of the groups, the results were presented separately.
