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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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
    The Primary objective is in two parts: 1) to see the antibody levels found months to years after patients entered the randomised placebo-controlled trial of a glycoprotein B vaccine against cytomegalovirus and 2) to have the previous samples retested using new and different methods which have been developed in different labs.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This refers to the main study: Negative pregnancy test was required before each vaccine dose Adverse and serious adverse events were tabulated and presented to a Data Safety Committee on six occasions.
    Background therapy
    		 Immunosuppressive drugs

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: Statistical analysis is not possible because of the small numbers, however, examination of the mean values for each group allows some general conclusions to be made. The seronegatives remain seronegative unless they develop viraemia. The seropositives may have a small boost in antibody level from viraemia. Once these effects of viraemia are taken into account, there is no substantial evidence that the vaccine was responsible for increasing antibody levels.

    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: The scope of this sub-study was to look at the long-term antibody response to CMV gB vaccine in patients requiring liver or renal transplant who had participated in the trial: A Phase II Immunogenicity Trial Of Cytomegalovirus Glycoprotein B Vaccine In Allograft Candidate Recipients; CTA ref no 20363/0238/001-0010; REC ref no 5476; UCL sponsor no 05/009. No IMP was administered in the sub-study, one 40ml blood sample taken from the participants was the only intervention.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    17 Sep 2014
    A substantial amendment was made on 17 September 2014 to the ethics committee to allow use of blood samples from patients recruited from the first study but who had since died and to analyse the samples overseas. This was approved on 10 October 2014.

    Interruptions (globally)
    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats
    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Note that no clinical trial medication was given to patients during this follow up study. There was no prior hypothesis and only descriptive statistics were used to gain insight into natural history of this infection.
