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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Primary Endpoints
    Safety
    • The primary safety endpoint is the presence of a grade 3 or above local or systemic solicited adverse event or any adverse event that results in a clinical decision to discontinue further immunisations.

    • The primary safety endpoint will compare the safety of the Electroporation device to standard Intramuscular and Intradermal injections

    Immunogenicity
    • The primary immunogenicity endpoint is the presence of a detectable antigen specific IgG antibody response (relative to a predefined cut off based on assay internal controls) and in those which are positive, the titre (g/ml) according to a quantitative EIA assay collected 2 weeks after the final vaccination.

    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Adverse events will be recorded from first dose until the final safety visit at Week 22.

    The primary immunogenicity endpoint will be evaluated at Week 22.

    Follow up to assess those responders will be evaluated at Weeks 24 and 44.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary Endpoints
    Safety
    • Any grade of adverse event, local to the ID and IM injection sites that start within 7 days after Doses 1-3. Comparisons will be made against groups for example: ID+EP vs ID (Groups 1 and 3 vs Group 2) and IM+EP vs IM (Groups 2 and 3 vs Group 1).
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Adverse events will be recorded from first dose until the final safety visit at Week 22.
