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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 demonstrate the non-inferiority of the post-vaccination (Day 22) hemagglutination inhibition (HI) geometric mean titers (GMTs) of AGRIFLU over the corresponding GMTs of the comparator vaccine for all three influenza strains, in healthy adults aged 50 years and above. To demonstrate non-inferiority of the percentages of subjects achieving seroconversion in antibody titers at Day 22 in the AGRIFLU group over the corresponding percentages of subjects in the comparator group for all three strains, in healthy adults aged 50 years and above. Safety Objectives To evaluate the safety and tolerability of of AGRIFLU or comparator vaccines in healthy adults aged 50 years and above.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Novartis Vaccines or the investigator provided the ethics committee (EC) with all appropriate material,including the Informed Consent Form (ICF), according to local regulations. The EC also was asked for a written statement regarding the composition of the committee and to comply with GCP (Good Clinical Practices) and with the applicable regulatory requirement(s). The trial was not initiated until appropriate EC approval of the protocol and the ICF was obtained. In addition, all documents were submitted to other authorities in compliance with local jurisdictions. Prior to enrollment, the sponsor and the investigator exchanged written confirmation that their ethical and legal responsibilities had been observed. The EC and, if applicable, other authorities were informed of protocol amendments in accordance with local legal requirements. Appropriate reports on the progress of the study were made to the EC and the sponsor by the investigator in accordance with applicable governmental regulations and in agreement with policy established by the sponsor

    End point description
    Immunogenicity was measured as the percentages of subjects who achieved seroconversion in HI titers, against each of three vaccine strains, at three weeks after one vaccination of TIV and TIVf vaccine (day 22). Seroconversion is defined as a prevaccination titer <10 and postvaccination HI ≥40 or as a prevaccination titer ≥10 and at minimum four-fold rise in postvaccination antibody titer. The upper limit of the two-sided 95% CI on the difference between the seroconversion rates (Seroconversion TIVf - SeroconversionTIV) should not exceed 10%.

    		 3.Percentages of Subjects Who Achieved HI Seroconversion and HI Titer ≥1:40 Against Each of Three Strains
    End point description
    Percentage of subjects achieving HI seroconversion against each of three vaccine strains was measured three weeks after vaccination of TIV and TIVf vaccine (day 22). Percentage of subjects who achieved HI titer ≥1:40 against each of three vaccine strains was measured three weeks after one vaccination of TIV and TIVf vaccine. According to Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research recommendations (CBER 2007), the criterion for seroconversion is considered met if the lower limit of the two-sided 95% CI for the percentage of subjects with HI seroconversion is ≥40% (<65 years) or ≥30% (≥65 years). As per the CBER criteria, the lower limit of the two-sided 95% CI for the percentage of subjects who achieved HI titer ≥ 1:40 should be ≥70% (<65 years) or ≥60% (≥65 years).
