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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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 ).

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A phase III, randomized, controlled, single-blind study to evaluate the non-inferiority of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals’ 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine compared to the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine Prevenar™ when administered as a 3-dose primary immunization course at 2, 4 and 6 months of age, co-administered with GSK Biologicals’ Hiberix™ vaccine.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate that GSK Biologicals’ 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine administered as a three-dose primary vac-cination course in Korea is non-inferior to Prevenar for the immune response against at least 7 of the pneumococcal serotypes contained in the 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
    Protection of trial subjects
    All subjects were supervised closely for at least 30 minutes following vaccination with appropriate medical treatment readily available. Vaccines were administered by qualified and trained personnel. Vaccines were administered only to eligible subjects that had no contraindications to any components of the vaccines. Subjects were followed-up for one month (minimum 30 days) following administration of the last dose of study vaccines.

    Number of subjects with a seropositivity status against protein D and defined pneumococcal serotypes
    End point description
    Seropositivity status for protein D is defined as anti protein D (anti-PD) antibody concentrations >= 100 Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (EL) units (EL.U/mL). Seropositivity status for pneumococcal serotypes is defined as anti-pneumococcal serotypes 1, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F and 23F antibody concentrations >= 0.05 ug/mL.
