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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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-label, controlled, multi-centre study of the immunogenicity and safety of a challenge dose of HBVAXPRO® to explore the anamnestic immune response in healthy children vaccinated 10 years ago with a primary series (3 doses) of either HEXAVAC® or INFANRIX®-HEXA

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    # To describe, in subjects vaccinated with 3 doses of HEXAVAC® as infants, the percentage of subjects with an anti-HBs concentration ≥10 mIU/mL 1 month after a challenge dose of HBVAXPRO® 5 µg given at least 10 years later # To describe, in subjects vaccinated with 3 doses of INFANRIX®-HEXA as infants, the percentage of subjects with an anti-HBs concentration ≥10 mIU/mL 1 month after a challenge dose of HBVAXPRO® 5 µg given at least 10 years later Note: "HBVAXPRO® 5 µg" was referred to "HBVAXPRO" to facilitate reading.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Healthy subjects with sensitivity and/or allergy to any component of HBVAXPRO were excluded. Vaccine was administered by qualified study personnel. After each vaccination, subjects were kept under observation for at least 20 minutes to ensure their safety.
    Background therapy
    Subjects were previously vaccinated with a 3-doses primary series of HEXAVAC or a 3-doses primary series of INFANRIX-HEXA as infants (at about 3, 5, and 12 months of life). They received the 3rd dose of HEXAVAC or INFANRIX-HEXA at least 10 years before the challenge dose of HBVAXPRO.

    Blinding implementation details
    This study was open-label as all the subjects received 1 dose of HBVAXPRO. Nevertheless, subjects were recruited from 2 different cohorts based on their vaccination history: vaccination with a 3-doses primary series of HEXAVAC or INFANRIX-HEXA during infancy. Immunogenicity assays were performed by laboratory staff (personnel and the analysts) who were blinded for the vaccine each subject had received as primo-vaccination.

    Percentage of subjects with an anti-HBs concentration ≥10 mIU/mL measured by MEIA - AxSYM® AUSAB 1 month after HBVAXPRO challenge dose (post-challenge) in subjects with pre-challenge anti-HBs concentration <10 mIU/mL. Analysis was done on the Per Protocol Set (PPS), i.e. all the vaccinated subjects excluding those with a serology-confirmed diagnosis of Hepatitis B infection or with important protocol deviations which may have interfered with the immunogenicity evaluation.

    Global summary of safety from D0 to D14 after HBVAXPRO challenge dose
    End point description
    Adverse events (AEs) were recorded as follows. 1/ From D0 to D4 after vaccination: # solicited injection-site adverse reactions (ISRs: injection-site erythema, injection-site swelling, and injection-site pain), and # solicited systemic AE pyrexia (defined as body temperature ≥38.0°C). 2/ From D0 to D14 after vaccination: unsolicited ISRs (including erythema, swelling, and pain from D5 to D14), and # unsolicited systemic AEs. AEs at injection sites were always considered as vaccine-related (ISRs). The investigator had to assess whether systemic AEs were vaccine-related systemic AEs or not to HBVAXPRO. The percentage of subjects presenting at least once the considered events is reported hereafter. Analysis was done on the Safety Analysis Set, i.e., all subjects who received at least 1 dose of HBVAXPRO and who had any safety follow-up data.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Systemic adverse events (AEs) were collected from D0 to D14 after HBVAXPRO challenge dose. Serious AEs (SAEs) and deaths were collected throughout the study.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Analysis was done on the Safety Analysis Set, i.e., all subjects who received at least 1 dose of HBVAXPRO and who had any safety follow-up data. Unsolicited non-serious systemic AEs (vaccine-related or not) with incidence ≥1% are presented hereafter. 2 subjects reported 1 SAE each; none of them was assessed as related to HBVAXPRO challenge dose.

    Reporting group description
    # Subjects previously vaccinated with a 3-doses primary series of HEXAVAC or INFANRIX-HEXA (at 3, 5, and 12 months of life) received 1 challenge dose of HBVAXPRO by IM route at least 10 years after the 3rd dose of the primary series. # Respectively, 87 (11.6%) subjects reported at least 1 unsolicited systemic AE, and 13 (1.7%) subjects reported at least 1 vaccine-related unsolicited systemic AE within 14 days after vaccination. Note: Unsolicited non-serious systemic AEs with incidence ≥1% are presented hereafter. If each non-serious systemic AE with incidence ≥1% had been reported by a different subject, the number of subjects reporting at least 1 non-serious systemic AE with incidence ≥1% would have been 51.
