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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The principal research objective of this study was to identify the specific ‘immune response’ genes which are activated by the ATIV vaccine and to correlate them to the immune response (level of antibodies - these are specific proteins against a virus which are part of the immune response) which occur when these genes are ‘switched on’ (this is also called gene expression). We were interested in assessing the difference between the response in children (aged 13-24 months) compared to adults (aged 18 -65 years).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Ethical, Legal and Management Protection: Every effort was made to ensure that participants, parents or guardians giving informed consent were able to understand fully the nature of the study including the risks,burdens, benefits and implications that taking part would have. The study involved the vaccination and the collection of blood samples that would not normally be part of routine care. In order to minimise any discomfort, local anaesthetic cream was offered to numb children's skin prior to the sample being collected. The members of the study team undertaking vaccination and venepuncture had specific training and experience. With the participant/parent/guardians agreement two attempts at blood sampling were made and if unsuccessful a further visit was arranged by the study team. Strict inclusion and exclusion criteria applied to the enrolment of each study participant. The study complied with the Data Protection Act which requires data to be anonymised as soon as it is practical to do so ensuring that the participant's anonymity was maintained throughout the trial.
    Background therapy
    Not applicable.
    Evidence for comparator
    The study aimed to assess early gene transcriptional responses to priming and boosting with ATIV in children aged 13-24 months and adults aged 18 - 65 years, and to establish correlations with HAI titers. This study adds to the initial ADITEC Flu pilot study conducted in 2012 (EudraCT Number: 2012-002443-26, Ethics Ref: OxREC C 12/SC/0407); a phase 2, randomised, open label study, also demonstrated increased immunogenicity and a relatively similar reactogenicity profile following ATIV immunisation compared to TIV. This current study adds to the initial study by collecting immunogenicity and gene expression data following the first ATIV dose (the initial study only collected blood samples for gene analysis post-second ATIV dose) and directly comparing child to adult data by enrolling both child and adult cohorts. Children received 2 doses (0.25ml) approximately 2 weeks apart and adults received a single dose (0.5ml) of the Fluad vaccine (MF59 Adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine (MF59­ATIV)) by ­intramuscular injection.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Adverse event reporting in this study were reported from the point of first study intervention. The time frame for adverse event reporting was from the baseline visit or 2 days prior to V1 when the electronic diary (ediary) entries commenced.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    All AEs occurring on the day of vaccine administration and three days following, and all AEs resulting in withdrawal from the study occurring within 1 month after vaccination, whether or not attributed to study medication, will be reported on the CRF/source document. AEs will be divided up into solicited and unsolicited reactions.

    Reporting group title
    Systemic Local AE's: redness and swelling
    Reporting group description
    Redness and swelling will be measured and recorded in the eDiary. They will be categorised as absent, mild, moderate and severe based on the size of affected area. A ruler will be given to the parent/participant with instructions for measuring any redness or swelling at the injection site. The parent/participant will be asked to measure the largest diameter of a local reaction and record this in the eDiary.

    Reporting group title
    Systemic Local AE's: Tenderness
    Reporting group description
    The parent/participant will be asked to assess and record in the eDiary whether tenderness is present at the injection site and grade it based on the degree to which the tenderness affects movement of the limb and routine daily activities.

    Reporting group title
    Solicited Systemic AE's: Temperature
    Reporting group description
    Temperature will be measured by the parent/participant and recorded from day of immunisation until three days post-vaccination. A digital thermometer will be provided by the study team at the screening visit. Temperature will be considered as fever if equal to or greater than 38.0°C. In the event of fever, the highest value measured throughout each day should be recorded in the eDiary.

    Reporting group title
    Solicited Systemic AE's: Systemic AE's
    Reporting group description
    Systemic AEs for children include: reduced feeding, reduced activity, irritability, vomiting or diarrhoea. For adults, systemic AEs include: headache, nausea/vomiting, malaise, myalgia and arthralgia. The severity of these solicited systemic AEs will be graded as follows: 0 if none, 1 if mild symptoms, 2 if moderate symptoms and 3 if severe symptoms.

    Reporting group title
    Unsolicited AE's
    Reporting group description
    Unsolicited AEs are any adverse events that are not pre-listed in the eDiary but may be reported in the eDiary in the three days following vaccination (in addition to day of vaccine administration) by the parent/participant or through interview. The following information will be recorded for medically significant, unsolicited AEs: description, date of onset and end date, severity, assessment of relatedness to study medication, other suspect drug or device and action taken. It will be left to the investigator’s clinical judgment whether or not an AE is of sufficient severity to require the participant’s removal from treatment. A participant’s parents/participant may also voluntarily withdraw from treatment due to what he or she perceives as an intolerable AE. The severity of events will be assessed on the following scale: 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe. The relationship of AEs to the study medication will be assessed.
