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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the immune response to the Hib component of GSK Biologicals’ combined DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib preservative-free vaccine in terms of seroprotection rates one month after the three-dose primary vaccination course in “Aboriginal infants” and “Other Non-Aboriginal infants”.
    Protection of trial subjects
    All subjects were supervised after vaccination/product administration with appropriate medical treatment readily available. Vaccines were administered by qualified and trained personnel. Vaccines were administered only to eligible subjects that had no contraindications to any components of the vaccines.

    End point description
    A seroprotected subject was a subject whose anti-PRP antibody concentration was greater or equal to (≥) 0.15 microgram per milliliter (µg/mL). The analysis was performed on the According-to-protocol (ATP) cohort for immunogenicity, which included all evaluable subjects who had received 3 doses of Infanrix Hexa vaccine and for whom data concerning immunogenicity outcome measures were available.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The analysis of the primary endpoint was descriptive, hence no statistical hypothesis test was performed.

    A seroprotected subject was a subject with anti-HBs antibody concentrations ≥ 10 milli-International Units ler milliliter (mIU/mL). A decrease in the specificity of the anti-HB ELISA assay had been observed in some studies for low levels of antibody (10-100 mIU/mL). The table shows updated results following partial or complete retesting/reanalysis. Some of the available blood samples initially tested with ELISA were re-tested using the new assay, CLIA.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    24 Jun 2010
    Amendment 2 The protocol was originally designed for sites in British Columbia (BC) and therefore the vaccines that the subject may receive outside of the study were recommended according to the BC vaccination schedule. New sites were selected in provinces where the recommended schedule for vaccine co-administration is different from BC, therefore the protocol is being amended to allow vaccine coadministration according to the provincial schedule rather than the BC schedules. • Some formatting errors have been corrected in the protocol.
