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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    To evaluate hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay results for each vaccine group after 1 and 2 doses and according to immunogenicity criteria defined by CBER recommendations. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of each A/H1N1 2009 vaccine group in this young pediatric population.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This trial was performed with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki, that are consistent with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) according to International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines, the applicable regulatory requirements(s) for the country in which the study is conducted, and applicable standard operating procedures (SOPs).
    Background therapy
    Test vaccines were supplied as a single prefilled syringe containing 15μg A/H1N1 2009 antigen per 0.5mL dose. The adjuvant was supplied separately as prefilled vials containing approximately 0.7mL of MF59 at approximately 27.3mg of squalene per vial. Adjuvanted vaccines were prepared by bedside mixing of the contents in prefilled syringes of A/H1N1 2009 antigen and MF59 adjuvant. All the vaccine were administered intramuscularly (IM) at study days 1 and 22 (3 weeks after first vaccination) within the pre-specified visit windows.
    Evidence for comparator
    There were no reference vaccines in this study.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    15 Sep 2009
    - Solicited local injection site reactions will be evaluated using CBER toxicity scales and solicited systemic reactions will be evaluated using a standardized severity scale employed in other Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics studies in children in this age range. The previous version of the protocol included the DAIDS toxicity tables for use of solicited local and systemic reactions. - Types of solicited local reactions changed from: erythema, induration, edema, pruritus, and injection site tenderness to erythema, ecchymosis, induration, swelling, and tenderness at injection site. Types of solicited systemic reactions changed from: acute systemic allergic reaction, body pain, fatigue, malaise, chills, arthralgia, vomiting, diarrhea, and anorexia to sleepiness, diarrhea, vomiting, irritability, change in eating habits, persistent crying, and fever - Preferred route of body temperature measurement switched from oral measurement to rectal as the preferred route with axillary measurement as the back-up. -. Adjusted serious adverse events reporting to include subjects with confirmed “potentially life threatening” graded local and systemic reactions and laboratory abnormalities
    03 Feb 2010
    Added the secondary objective: To evaluate antibody persistence at 6 and 12 months post last study vaccination to evaluate immunogenicity against drifted strains (cross protection) and antibody persistence.
    08 Feb 2010
    - Increased visit windows for Visit 10 and Visit 16 additional blood draws to -7/+14 days - References to 6 and 12 months post-vaccination were replaced by day 202 and day 387 to be consistent with the inclusion of subjects receiving only one vaccination for optional blood draws at Visit 10 (Day 202) and Visit 16 (Day 387).
