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   44309   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7356   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.

    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    a. Female subjects age 18-60 years; (only, of Korea age 19-60 years);
    b. Histologically confirmed HPV-16 or HPV-18-associated CIN 2, CIN 2/3 or CIN 3 from tissue collected less than 10 weeks prior to Vaccination/EP #1 with overall lesion sizes less than 50% of the cervix area and no evidence of invasive cancer in any specimen;
    c. Colposcopy is satisfactory based on visualization of the entire
    squamocolumnar junction and the upper limit of the entire aceto-white or suspected CIN disease area;
    d. Healthy subjects as judged by the Investigator based on medical history, PE, and normal results for an ECG, CBC, Serum Chemistries, CPK and urinalysis done up to 4 weeks prior to enrolment;

For women who are not postmenopausal (at least 12 months of nontherapy-induced amenorrhea) or surgically sterile (absence of ovaries and/or uterus): agreement to remain abstinent or use a highly effective method of contraception during the treatment period and throughout Week 36 response evaluation visit.
    Abstinence is only acceptable if it is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation,symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
    Examples of highly effective contraception include the following:
    • Combined oral contraceptive pill
    • Contraceptive transdermal patch

    • Injections for contraception (with prolonged release)
    • Hormonal vaginal device
    • Sterilization, surgical tubal ligation
    • Sole sexual partner consisting of surgically sterilized male partner
    with appropriate post-surgical verification of the absence of
    spermatozoa in the ejaculate
    • Double barrier methods: condom and occlusive cap (diaphragm or
    cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/
    suppository (Note: a female condom and male condom should not
    be used together as friction between the two can result in either
    product failing)
    f. Able and willing to comply with all study procedures and voluntarily signs informed consent form.

All other corticosteroids must be discontinued > 4 weeks prior to Day 0 of study vaccine administration; autoimmune disorders, transplant recipients;
    d. History of previous therapeutic HPV vaccination (individuals who have been immunized with licensed prophylactic HPV vaccines (e.g. Gardasil®, Cervarix®) are not excluded);
    e. Positive serological test for hepatitis C virus or hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV);
    f. Administration of any blood product within 3 months of enrollment;
    g. Administration of any licensed vaccine within 2 weeks of enrollment (4 weeks for measles vaccine);
    h. Participation in a study with an investigational compound or device within 30 days prior to signing informed consent;
    i. Cardiac pre-excitation syndromes (such as Wolff-Parkinson-White);
    j. History of seizures (unless seizure free for 5 years);
    k. Tattoos, scars, active lesions/rashes or any implantable leads within 3 cm of the intended site of vaccination/EP;
    l. Any electronic medical implants (such as cardiac pacemaker);

    incarcerated) for treatment of either a psychiatric or physical (i.e. infections disease) illness must not be enrolled into this study;
    p. Any other conditions judged by the investigator that would limit the evaluation of a subject;
    q. Previous randomization into this study.
