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 ).

    Clinical Trial Results:
    An open, phase IV, single-group, multicenter study to assess the long-term persistence of antibodies against hepatitis B and the immune response to a challenge dose of Engerix™-B Kinder in adolescents 15-16 years of age who were vaccinated in infancy with three doses of Engerix™-B Kinder.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    20 Jun 2013
    • GSK has discontinued the use of its in-house Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) that was used to measure anti-HBs (antibodies to Hepatitis B surface antigen) antibody concentrations. This assay is being replaced by ChemiLuminescence ImmunoAssay (CLIA). The new assay cut-off is 6.2 mIU/ml and is updated throughout the protocol. • The threshold level of prednisone in this study has been modified from 0.5 mg/kg/day to 20 mg/day, in order to align the dosage with that prescribed for adolescents. • The primary objective was not stated correctly in the sample size section. This has been amended to state that despite the primary objective being descriptive, the sample size has been computed, on the assumption that 90% antibody persistence would be observed. • The intensity of local injection site redness/swelling has been corrected to indicate the scale reflective for adolescents and adults. Several typos in the table for the maximum intensity of fever have also been rectified in the same section.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
