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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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
    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.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The blood sampling may be uncomfortable but the clinical study staff are very experienced at drawing blood samples and not more than two attempts will be made. Finger or heel (in infants) prick may be attempted if venepuncture proves difficult. For infants under 3 months of age, oral sucrose solution (such as Sweet-Ease®) may be offered to minimise discomfort (subject to local practice/preference). The parents will be asked if she/he wishes to feed the infant during the procedure to minimise discomfort. An anaesthetic cream (such as EMLA®, Denela or Ametop®), cryogenic spray may be offered for infants one month or older. As per JCVI recommendation, parents will be advised to give their baby three doses of paracetamol (infant formula) prophylactically in the 24 hours after each primary MenB vaccination. Any stress and discomfort is also reduced by using distraction techniques. Every effort will be made to protect the participants’ identity. The study will comply with the Data Protection Act, which requires data to be anonymised as soon as it is practical to do so.
    Background therapy
    		 All participants receive: Bexsero (MenB) at 2, 4 and 12 months of age Infanrix/IPV/Hib at 2,3 and 4 month MenC conjugate vaccination at 12 months given as the combined Hib/MenC conjugate vaccine, Menitorix Rotarix orally at 2 and 3 months Infants may receive one of 2 licensed MMR vaccines depending on local availability and parental consent: Priorix or MMR®II (live attenuated vaccines that protects against measles, mumps and rubella) at 13 months Infant doses of paracetamol are also provided to families to give following the MenB vaccinations at 2 and 4 months of age.
    Evidence for comparator
    		 The Department of Heath JCVI has recommended that the Bexsero vaccine, designed to protect against meningococcal B and other serogroups not covered by the MenC conjugate vaccine, may be cost effective if given as a 2+1 schedule and if the current MenC conjugate vaccine dose given at 3 months is removed. There are no published immunogenicity data for Bexsero when given at 2, 4 and 12 months (the ages at which a 2+1 schedule would be implemented in the UK) and with concomitant Infanrix/IPV/Hib. The MenC conjugate vaccine currently given for primary immunisation at 3 months of age is a tetanus based conjugate which was shown to enhance the response to the Hib component of Infanrix/IPV/Hib. Removal of MenC conjugate vaccine from the infant schedule would raise uncertainty as to the adequacy of the Hib response to Infanrix/IPV/Hib. Another uncertainty about the 2+1 Bexsero schedule is that it would be given at the same appointments currently used for PCV13 (13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine), thus necessitating 3 injections at the first and third infant visits and just one injection at the second. Past experience has shown that there is reluctance among parents, and some health professionals, to give 3 injections at one visit to a very young infant. An option is to reduce PCV13 to a 1+1 schedule, giving a single priming dose at 3 months. Though the immunogenicity of one dose in infancy will be lower than two doses, a prior study with PCV9 showed higher booster responses with fewer priming doses. With the rapidly reducing incidence of PCV13 disease in young children in the UK, and highly effective herd protection, the potentially increased risk of an invasive pneumococcal infection between 4 and 12 months in a child who has only received one dose of PCV13 instead of two will be very low and unlikely to outweigh the cost savings from reducing the number of PCV13 doses from 3 to 2. This study includes two arms defined by their PCV13 schedule as 1+1 or 2+1.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 Healthy infants aged up to 13 weeks, due to receive their primary vaccinations as per the UK immunisation schedule with the exception of PCV13, were recruited via child health database mailouts in Oxfordshire and via GP surgeries in Gloucestershire and Hertfordshire, and were assesses for eligibility between 22/09/2015 and 1/11/2017.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 376 infants were assessed for eligibility and 163 infants were excluded before randomisation. Infants with bleeding disorders, at risk of invasive pneumococcal disease, or with a history of allergic reactions to any of the vaccine components were excluded. 213 eligible infants were enrolled.

    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Safety data in terms of SAEs, is collected at each visit for the preceding period, with details verified from GP notes. Parents are asked to complete a health diary for the week following each vaccination appointment to document local reactions (redness/swelling/ pain at the injection site) as well as any systemic symptoms and use of paracetamol.

    Date
    Amendment
    21 Oct 2015
    .The principal investigators have been updated on page 1 .The type of laboratory assays performed for meningococcal serogroup C and W at 5 months of age (secondary objectives and endpoints) have been revised on pages 9,11,18 and 38 .Clarification of the timings to assess antibody responses to Men B, tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis on pages 9,11,18 and 38 .The titre thresholds for different type of assays have been clarified on pages 9, 11, 18 and 38 .Clarification that reactogenicity data will only be collected following immunizations at 2, 3, 4 and 12 months of age on pages 10, 12, 18, 28 and 38 .Clarification of the references used to define the protective levels of antibodies to Men B vaccine and PCV13 on page 28 .Clarification of the laboratory responsible for processing NP swabs on pages 31 and 32 .Removal of functional pertussis antibody studies on page 31 .Clarification of the name of the sample storage facility at PHE on page 32 .Clarification of the data analysis, including an interim analysis on page 40 .Clarification of the location of the Clinical Trial Data Manager on page 41 .The guidelines followed by the study laboratories have been updated on page 43 .Update of references on page45. .Clarification of PHE recruitment methods on page 23.
    12 Jan 2018
    .The study has been extended. The final visit (visit 8) will now be when participants are 21-33months of age (instead of 18 months of age). The extension involves an additional visit and a blood test. This will allow an extended description of antibody responses to the vaccines given in this trial, which has been listed as an additional secondary endpoint. .Participants will be recruited from all study areas (Thames Valley, Gloucestershire and Hertfordshire). .The PI for the PHE sites in Gloucestershire and Hertfordshire has also changed.
    12 Feb 2018
    .Increase maximal blood volume taken at visit 8 from 5mL to 8mL. .Remove increased body temperature from the temporary exclusion criteria for visit 8. .Change laboratory processes for visit 8, now all samples will be shipped to OVG, spun, frozen and then either stored or sent to other sites for analysis.

    Interruptions (globally)
    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats
