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   44336   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 compare the percentage of subjects presenting at least one severe (solicited) systemic reaction to the Novartis MenACWY conjugate vaccine with the percentage presenting at least one severe systemic reaction to the licensed meningococcal ACWY polysaccharide (PS) vaccine (Menomune) during the first 7 days (day 1 to 7) following a single injection administered to healthy children 2 to 10 years of age To compare the immunogenicity of a single injection of Novartis MenACWY conjugate vaccine with the immunogenicity of a single injection of PS vaccine (Menomune), defined as the percentage of subjects with seroresponse in human serum bactericidal assay against N meningitidis serogroups A, C, W135, and Y at 1 month after vaccination, when administered to healthy children 2 to 10 years of age.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Study vaccines were not administered to individuals with known hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccines. An oral temperature ≥38.0°C (≥100.4°F) or serious active infection was a reason for delaying vaccination. Standard immunization practices were observed and care was taken to administer the injection intramuscularly. As with all injectable vaccines, appropriate medical treatment and supervision was readily available in case of rare anaphylactic reactions following administration of the study vaccine. Epinephrine 1:1000 and diphenhydramine was available in case of any anaphylactic reactions. Care was taken to ensure that the vaccine was not injected into a blood vessel.

    End point description
    Immunogenicity was measured as the percentage of subjects with hSBA Seroresponse, directed against each of meningococcal Serogroups A, C, W and Y, evaluated by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA), one month after vaccination (day 29) with MenACWY-CRM or MenACWY-PS vaccine. Seroresponse was defined as: for subjects with a prevaccination hSBA titer <1:4, a post vaccination hSBA titer ≥1:8; For subjects with a prevaccination hSBA titer ≥1:4, an increase in hSBA titer of atleast four times the prevaccination titer.
