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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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
    Our principal research question is: 'How does the time of day of first vaccination affect the immune response to Hepatitis B vaccine?' Our primary objectives in the study are •Establish the procedures for a definitive investigation into time of day and vaccine responses. •Evaluate the difference in Hepatitis B antibody (Anti-HBs) titres of morning, afternoon and evening vaccination groups after 3 doses of Hepatitis B vaccination.
    Protection of trial subjects
    1. Additional blood tests: Trial subjects will undergo additional blood tests. All potential participants will be informed of this prior to recruitment and only those who are willing for the same will be recruited into the trial. These blood tests will be an additional point of contact with the trial personnel. 2. Morning vs evening vaccination: Participants will be required to attend their first appointment within a narrow time window during the morning and late in the evening. This will be discussed in advance with participants. Reasonable travel expenses in order to attend study visits will be reimbursed. 3. Collection of saliva sample: Participants will be expected to provide saliva samples on the night before and immediately on waking the day of vaccination. This will be detailed in the PIL and discussed at the screening visit. Samples are provided by the subject at their home and does not require any additional vaccination. 4. Completion of questionnaires: Potential subjects will be asked to fill in questionnaires (Munich Chronotype Questionnaire and sleep diary). Participants will be informed of the need to do this prior to enrolment and only those prepared to do so will be enrolled.

    Blinding implementation details
    Participants are randomised to receive the Hepatitis B vaccine either in the morning, afternoon or evening. Analysis of the blood samples was conducted by a blinded member of staff.

    Arms
    Arm title
    Hepatitis B vaccination
    Arm description
    Participants will receive Engerix B® 20 micrograms/1 ml, give as 3 doses of 20 micrograms at 0, 1 and 6 months.

    Routes of administration
    Intramuscular use
    Dosage and administration details
    3 doses of 20 micrograms given at 0,1 and 6 months. The vaccine stimulates the production of Anti Hepatitis B surface antigen antibodies and other components of the immune system. AntiHBs antibody concentrations > 10 IU/l correlate with protection to HBV infection.

    Notes
    [1] - The roles blinded appear inconsistent with a simple blinded trial.
    Justification: Analysis of blood samples was to be performed by a blinded member of staff. No other staff member was blinded. It was not possible for the patient to be blinded as the randomisation was for time of day to take the drug.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    03 Jun 2016
    A. Protocol amendment: The protocol has been amended to include the following: -Change in Vaccine schedule: The University of Salford study site is adopting the accelerated schedule for Hepatitis B vaccination. Hence the study timeline for vaccination will change from 0, 1 and 6 months to 0, 1 and 2 months. -Study groups and numbers: In addition to morning and evening vaccination, an additional time point to reflect current standard of care (1-2pm) has been added. Study group numbers have been revised from 30 in each group to 20 in each group with a total of 60 subjects. -Additional blood sample: An additional blood sample will be collected opportunistically when subject attends for third dose of the vaccine, hence current venepuncture schedule is 0, 1, 2 and 3 months. B. Patient Information Leaflet and Consent forms have been revised to reflect the above changes C. We have added a section to the protocol to cover adverse event reporting. REC favourable opinion was issued 04/07/2016.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
