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   43860   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 demonstrate the non-inferiority of 10Pn-PD-DiT vaccine (4-dose presentation) as compared to 10Pn-PD-DiT vaccine (Synflorix 1-dose presentation) in terms of the immune response to the 10 vaccine pneumococcal serotypes one month after dose 3. Criterion: Non-inferiority was demonstrated if the upper limit (UL) of the 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) of the geometric mean antibody concentration (GMC) ratios (Synflorix/10Pn_4d) was below a limit of 2-fold for each of the 10 vaccine pneumococcal serotypes.
    Protection of trial subjects
    All subjects were supervised for 30 min after vaccination with appropriate medical treatment readily available. Vaccines were administered by qualified and trained personnel. Only eligible subjects that had no contraindications to any components of the vaccines were vaccinated. Subjects were followed-up for 30 days after each/last vaccination.

    Recruitment details
    Two epochs were defined in the study. The duration of the study was for Epoch 001: Primary starting at Month 0 and ending at Month 4 and for Epoch 002: Booster starting at Month 8 and ending at Month 9. 5 subjects did not participate to the Epoch 002 (none due to an serious adverse event).

    Observer-blind: during the course of the study, the vaccine recipient and those responsible for the evaluation of any study outcome were all unaware of which vaccine was administered. Vaccine preparation and administration was done by authorised medical personnel who didn’t participate in any of the study clinical evaluation. The laboratory in charge of the laboratory testing was blinded to the treatment, and codes were used to link the subject and study to each sample.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: The number of participants who started each study period depends on the actual rate of return of the subjects.

    Antibody concentrations against pneumococcal serotypes (Epoch 001)
    End point description
    Antibodies assessed for this outcome measure were those against the vaccine/cross-reactive pneumococcal serotypes 1, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F and 23F (ANTI-1, -4, -5, -6A, -6B, -7F, -9V, -14, -18C, -19A, -19F and -23F). Antibody concentrations were measured by 22F-inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), expressed as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs), in micrograms per milliliter (µg/mL). The cut-off of the assay was an antibody concentration higher than or equal to (≥) 0.05 µg/mL. Primary outcome results correspond to antibody concentrations for the 10 vaccine serotypes 1, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F and 23F.

    Number of subjects with any unsolicited adverse events (AEs) (Epoch 001)
    End point description
    An unsolicited AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. For the marketed products administered in the study, this also included failure to produce expected benefits (i.e. lack of efficacy), abuse or misuse of the product. Any = Occurrence of an unsolicited AE, regardless of intensity or relationship to vaccination.

    Antibodies assessed for this outcome measure were those against the vaccine/cross-reactive pneumococcal serotypes 1, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F and 23F (ANTI-1, -4, -5, -6A, -6B, -7F, -9V, -14, -18C, -19A, -19F and -23F). Antibody concentrations were measured by 22F-inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), expressed as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs), in micrograms per milliliter (µg/mL). The cut-off of the assay was an antibody concentration higher than or equal to (≥) 0.05 µg/mL.

    Date
    Amendment
    20 Apr 2015
    Amendment 1 The protocol amendment has been issued to implement the following guidance from the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B):  Following post-study approval discussion with the Ethical Review Committee (ERC) of the ICDDR,B regarding the strengthening of the informed consent process, the presence of one witness has been requested for the informed consent of each subject’s parent/legally acceptable representative, irrespective of literacy status.  In line with local ICDDR,B guidelines, the ERC required the implementation of a Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) which will be established by the ERC. The safety monitoring section has been updated accordingly.
    21 Oct 2015
    Amendment 2 Recently Synflorix effectiveness against vaccine-related serotype 19A has been added to the product information and Synflorix can be recommended for active immunization against 19A pneumococcal disease in addition to the vaccine serotypes. The purpose of this amendment is to add demonstration of the non-inferiority of the 10Pn-PD-DiT vaccine (4-dose presentation) as compared to 10Pn-PD-DiT vaccine (1-dose presentation) in terms of the immune response to the vaccine-related serotype 19A as a first secondary objective. Following review of the validation package of the anti-protein D (PD) IgG ELISA, the Company decided to fully redevelop and revalidate this assay in order to comply with the latest validation requirements of the Regulatory Authorities. In consequence, the anti-PD ELISA assay cut-off has been changed.
