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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The main study aim is to determine whether PCV is protective against pneumococcal carriage in healthy adult volunteers.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary aims are to examine the local and systemic innate, humoral and cellular immune responses to PCV +/- pneumococcal nasal carriage.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Adults aged 18-50 yrs old (chosen to minimise the risk of pneumococcal infection post inoculation)
    2. Fluent English spoken (to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the research project and their involvement - this is predominately for safety reasons).
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    • Previously received PPV or any PCV vaccines (at any age) – full vaccine history obtained from General Practitioner as necessary

    • Previously lived in a hepatitis A endemic area

    • Previously received a complete course of hepatitis A vaccination

    • Previous significant adverse reaction to any vaccination/immunisation

    • Close contact with at risk individuals (children, immunosuppressed adults, elderly, chronic ill health) – to minimise risk of pneumococcal transmission

    • Current smoker or significant smoking history (>10 pack yrs) – to minimise risk of pneumococcal infection and optional bronchoscopy

    • Asthma (on regular medication) or respiratory disease – to minimise risk of bronchoscopy or pneumococcal infection

    • Pregnancy – to minimise risk of pneumococcal infection and no safety data exists for either vaccine in pregnancy

    • Breast-feeding mothers - no safety data exists for either vaccine in pregnancy

    • Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) who are deemed not to have sufficient, effective birth control in place for 1 month prior to vaccination and 1 month after the final vaccination

    • Allergic to penicillin/amoxicillin

    • Involved in another clinical trial unless observational or in follow-up (non-interventional) phase

    • Previously been involved in a clinical trial involving experimental human pneumococcal carriage

    • Unable to give fully informed consent

    • Medication that may affect the immune system (e.g. steroids, steroid nasal spray)

    • Current acute severe febrile illness at the time of vaccination/inoculation.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoint is PCV-induced protection against pneumococcal carriage. Classical culture methods (and PCR techniques) will be used to detect the presence, density and duration of pneumococcal carriage in nasal wash post inoculation.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    An interim analysis is planned after the first 50 volunteers have completed the study.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Important secondary endpoints including the immune responses, in particular humoral and cellular responses, will also be assessed.
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    An interim analysis is planned after the first 50 volunteers have completed the study.

    The hep A immunisation course is 2 vaccinations in total (if vaccine naive). After un-blinding volunteers in the hep A arm will be offered 1 further hep A vaccination, via the LSTM WTC, to complete their course (cost paid for by study).
    Those in the PCV arm will be offered the full course of 2 hep A vaccinations (as needed) through the WTC. All these appointments are arranged directly between the volunteer and the WTC after completion of the study.
