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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Primary Immunogenicity Objective: To evaluate the antibody responses to homologous (CBER criteria) influenza strains post vaccination with aQIV or a non-adjuvanted comparator influenza vaccine in children previously vaccinated in parent trial V118_05. Primary Safety Objective: To evaluate the safety of revaccination of aQIV or nonadjuvanted comparator vaccine in children previously vaccinated in parent trial V118_05
    Protection of trial subjects
    This clinical study was designed and was to be implemented and reported in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) Harmonized Tripartite Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice (GCP), with applicable local regulations including European Directive 2001/20/EC, US Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 21, and Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare, sponsor codes on protection of human rights, and with the ethical principles laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki European Council 2001, US CFR, ICH 1997).

    Immunogenicity Endpoint: Percentage of subjects achieving seroconversion - Homologous Strains (Day 22) [1]
    End point description
    Antibody responses assessed in terms of percentage of subjects achieving seroconversion at 21 days after vaccination against vaccine strains. Seroconversion is defined as HI ≥1:40 for subjects negative at baseline (ie, HI titer <1:10); or a minimum 4-fold increase in HI titer for subjects positive at baseline (ie, HI titer HI ≥1:10). The immunogenicity responses of the study vaccines were evaluated following measurements established by the current CBER criteria for the pediatric population. The CBER criteria were met if the lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI for the percent of subjects achieving SC for HI antibody met or exceeded 40%

    29 Jul 2014
    - The immunogenicity endpoints were updated to include secondary immunogenicity endpoints at Day 181. The percentage of subjects achieving seroconversion and HI titer ≥1:40 at Day 181 were included as additional secondary immunogenicity endpoints. - Secondary objectives were updated to clarify that the 2 vaccine groups would be compared with regard to antibody response to homologous and heterologous influenza strains for the following endpoints: GMT, GMR (Day 22:Day 1), percentage of subjects achieving seroconversion, and percentage of subjects achieving HI titer ≥1:40.
    27 Oct 2014
    - Text was added throughout the protocol to provide clarity on what information regarding influenza high risk status should be collected and the analysis to be conducted using this data. - The Medically Attended Adverse Events section was added to provide clarity on definition of medically attended AEs, where and when they should be recorded.
