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   44364   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7388   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 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Technical - To assess geometric mean concentrations (GMC) of serotype specific pneumococcal antibody responses measured in the blood sample taken after the final infant vaccinations, usually at 13 months of age, following two or three doses of 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) at 3 and 12 months or at 2, 4, and 12 months of age

    Lay - To assess how much antibody can be detected in the blood sample taken a month after the final infant vaccinations, usually taken at 13 months of age, after two or three doses of the routinely used pneumococcal vaccine, called Prevenar13.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Technical:

    • To assess GMC of serotype specific pneumococcal antibody responses measured in the blood sample taken at 5 months of age, following one or two doses of 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) at 3 months or at 2 and 4 months of age
    • To assess antibody responses to MenB vaccination using proportions achieving hSBA titres ≥4 for the three main MenB vaccine antigen target strains, 5/99 (NadA), NZ98/254 (PorA) and 44/76-SL (fHbp).
    • To assess antibody responses, by IgG GMC, to the tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis components (pertussis toxin (PT), pertactin (PRN), filamentous heamagglutinin (FHA) and fimbrial antigens (fims) 2 and 3) of Infanrix-IPV-Hib vaccine after three doses at 2, 3 and 4 months of age, from the blood sample taken at 5 months of age
    • To assess anti-PRP IgG and meningococcal serogroup C (MenC) antibody responses in the blood samples taken at 5 and 13 months of age, by proportions achieving protective antibody levels defined as anti-PRO Ig
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Infants may only be included in the study if all the inclusion criteria are met:
    • Infants due to receive their primary immunisations, aged up to 13 weeks on first vaccinations.
    • Written informed consent given by parent/ guardian
    Where possible consent will be sought from the mother so that permission can be given for recording any pertussis (whooping cough) containing vaccine in pregnancy. If this is not possible, i.e. if consent is given by the father or legal guardian, then this information would not be collected.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Infants may not be included in the study if any of the following apply:
    • Bleeding disorder
    • Fulfil any of the contraindications to vaccination as specified in The Green Book [DH website]:
     At risk of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) defined as ‘Children with asplenia, splenic dysfunction or complement disorders’ and those born prior to 37 weeks gestation
     confirmed anaphylactic reaction to a previous dose of the vaccine, or
     confirmed anaphylactic reaction to any constituent or excipient of the vaccine(s).
     a confirmed anaphylactic reaction to neomycin, streptomycin or polymyxin B (which may be present in trace amounts in the tetanus vaccine) and/or kanamycin, histidine, sodium chloride or sucrose (which may be present in trace amounts in the MenB vaccine).
     Latex hypersensitivity (the syringe cap of Bexsero may contain natural rubber latex)


    If the infant has an axillary/aural temperature ≥ 38°C on the scheduled appointment day, then vaccination and blood sampling will be postponed until resolution of fever. Blood sampling will also be postponed for seven days after completion of any antibiotic course. (NB if this occurs then this will be documented in the CRF to confirm the order of randomisation was maintained and will give the reason for postponement of treatment)
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary outcome measure will be the antibody levels measured against the pneumococcal vaccinations, from the blood samples collected when participants are about 13 months of age.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    13 months of age
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    • 13 serotype-specific pneumococcal IgG GMCs and functional pneumococcal antibodies and proportions ≥0.35µg/mL for each serotype in the blood samples taken at 5 and 13 months of age
    • Titres and proportions of participants achieving antibody responses to MenB vaccination hSBA titres ≥4 for the three main vaccine antigen target MenB strains, 5/99 (NadA), NZ98/254 (PorA) and 44/76-SL (fHbp) in the blood samples taken at 5 months of age.
    • Meningococcal serogroup C hSBA GMTs and proportion of infants ≥4 (5 month blood only); rSBA titres (GMT) and proportion of infants with titres  8 and 128 (13 month blood only)
    • GMC of anti-PRP IgG [Hib antigen] and proportion of infants with concentrations of > 0.15µg/mL and  1.0µg/mL in the blood samples taken at 5 and 13 months of age.
    • GMC of IgG to pertussis antigens (PT, PRN, FHA and FIM 2 and 3) in the blood samples taken at 5 months of age.
    • GMC of anti-tetanus toxoid IgG and proportions ≥0.1 IU/mL and ≥1.0 IU/mL in the blood samples taken at 5 months of age.
    • GMC of anti-diphtheria toxoid IgG and proportions ≥0.1IU/mL and ≥1.0 IU/mL in the blood samples taken at 5 months of age.

    From the nasal swab collected prior to the booster vaccinations at 12 months of age and six months later:
    • Frequency of carriage of identified pneumococcal serotypes
    From the health diary completed after each vaccination:
    • Measurement of redness/ swelling/ pain at the injection site and temperature as recorded in the daily health diary for the week following vaccination, as well as any systemic symptoms. Temperature will also be recorded and analysed from the iButton system
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    At various timepoints during the course of the study as per each end point listed - usually in the week following immunisation (AEs) or from the blood samples taken at 5 and or 13 months of age.

    Age appropriate vaccinations will be given according to the routine national vaccination schedule, or with the amendments as detailed in question A20 along with any extra doses as indicated by blood test results. There is therefore no indication for continued provision of the intervention to participants once the study is completed. Vaccinations due after the study is completed would be given by the GP surgery according to routine practice
