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
    To assess the effectiveness of the MenABCWY vaccine against a randomly selected panel of endemic US Neisseria meningitidis (N. meningitidis) serogroup B invasive disease strains as measured by bactericidal activity at 1:4 dilution using endogenous complement human Serum Bactericidal Assay (enc-hSBA) at one month after the two vaccinations, when compared to a single dose of MenACWY.
    Protection of trial subjects

    The combined percentage of subjects without bactericidal activity at 1:4 dilution using the endogenous complement human Serum Bactericidal Assay (enc-hSBA) across all strains in MenABCWY group and MenACWY group is reported at one month after the second injection. The percentage of subjects without bactericidal activity at 1:4 dilution was used to assess the effectiveness of two doses of MenABCWY vaccine when compared to one dose of MenACWY vaccine against a panel of US N. meningitidis serogroup B invasive disease strains. Least Square (LS)-mean computed from the generalised linear model. Analysis was done on FAS effectiveness (month 3).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    18 Mar 2014
    The protocol has been amended:  to reflect the revised plan to restrict access to subject group assignments for both of the planned final analyses and to generate individual data listings with subject group assignments only after full unblinding of the extension study (V102_16E1);  to clarify elements of the Interactive Response Technology randomization procedures;  to address the new End of Study definition in compliance with the Novartis Quality Manual and the Corporate Data Disclosure Policy.
    03 Feb 2015
    The protocol has been amended:  to replace the NadA M01-0240364 strain with NadA strain 96217, in accordance to per Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Office of Vaccines Research and Review (CBER) feedback on HT-hSBA validation plan;  to clarify that subjects should not have reportable protocol deviations leading to exclusion for period prior to Visit Month 3/Visit Month 6 (except for blood draws and serological results missing);  to revised definition and evaluation of protocol deviations, according to changes made to the Novartis Vaccines internal process of defining and evaluating protocol deviations.
