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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the immune response and the safety of a primary series schedule that includes V419 (PR5I) at 2 and 6 months of age and Pediacel at 4 months of age. Primary objectives of this study were 1) to demonstrate that the mixed schedule induces acceptable responses for Hepatitis B (HB) one month after completion of the mixed schedule; and 2) to demonstrate that the mixed schedule induces acceptable responses for Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib) one month after completion of the mixed schedule. Secondary objectives of this study were: 1) to describe the antibody response to all PR5I antigens one month after completion of the mixed schedule; 2) to describe the antibody response to meningococcal serogroup C (MCC) conjugate vaccine one month after the second dose of MenC vaccine; and 3) to describe the safety profile after each dose of study vaccines administered.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice standards and applicable country and/or local statutes and regulations regarding ethical committee review, informed consent, and the protection of human subjects participating in biomedical research. The following additional measures defined for this individual study were in place for the protection of trial subjects: Subjects in the study received the study vaccines (PR5I and Pediacel®) in line with the recommended infant immunisation schedule in Spain, and the immunisation schedule was consistent with other paediatric vaccines routinely given at the same age. NeisVac-C®, Prevenar 13®, and RotaTeq® were administered in accordance with their respective Summary of Product Characteristics. Subjects with allergy to any of the vaccine components or history of a life-threatening reaction to a vaccine containing the same substances as the study vaccines (including concomitants) were not vaccinated. Vaccines were administered by qualified study personnel. After each vaccination, subjects were kept under observation for 30 minutes to ensure their safety. Adequate treatment provisions, including epinephrine, were available for immediate use, should an anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reaction occur.
    Background therapy
    Infants were previously vaccinated with only 1 dose of monovalent Hepatitis B vaccine, within the 3 days after birth, outside of the study context.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study enrolled N=385 infant participants previously vaccinated with only 1 dose of monovalent Hepatitis B vaccine, within 3 days after birth, outside of study context.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Participants progressed through the study as a single group, with all participants receiving the same mixed-schedule vaccination series. Vaccination (V1) was administered on Study Day 0 (2 months of age), with V2 (4 months of age) and V3 (6 months of age) administered at Study Months 2 and 4, respectively.

    Justification: This is a single arm study, subjects were all enrolled in the same treatment group. The success of the study required that the primary objective was achieved for both Hepatitis B and PRP. For Hepatitis B, the immune response to PR5I vaccine was considered as acceptable if the lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI of the % of subjects with anti-HBs titre ≥10 mIU/mL one month after the third dose of the mixed schedule was greater than 90%.
