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   43844   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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
    • Demonstrate that the immune response (based on geometric mean titer [GMT]) induced by Quadrivalent meningococcal polysaccharide conjugate (MCV4) and Tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccines given with bivalent recombinant lipoprotein 2086 (rLP2086) vaccine (Group 1) was non-inferior to the immune response induced by MCV4 and Tdap vaccines alone (Group 2) measured 1 month after the Vaccination 1 in both groups. The immune response to all components of MCV4 and Tdap vaccines were assessed. • Demonstrate that the immune response (based on GMT) induced by bivalent rLP2086 vaccine measured by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) performed with 2 Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B (MnB) strains (subfamily A and B proteins) given with MCV4 and Tdap vaccines (Group1) was non-inferior to the immune response induced by bivalent rLP2086 vaccine alone (Group3), measured 1 month after Vaccination 3 with bivalent rLP2086 vaccine in both groups.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all  International Conference on  Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were followed.
