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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 primary objectives of the study are to assess the safety (serious adverse events [SAEs] and severe adverse events [AEs]) and immunogenicity (seroprotection rate) of SABIN tOPV in healthy OPV-vaccinated adults.
    Protection of trial subjects
    In this study only healthy adults are enrolled who received at least 3 doses of OPV in the past (more than 12 months before the start of the study) Exclusion criteria (among others): . Having Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis or having had major surgery of the gastrointestinal tract involving significant loss or resection of the bowel; . A known allergy, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to the study vaccine, or to any of its components or to any antibiotics; . Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficiency condition (including human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] infection); . Will have household or professional contact with known immunosuppressed people or people without full polio vaccination (i.e. complete priming) within 28 days after vaccination; . Neonatal nurses or others having professional contact with children under 6 months old within 28 days after vaccination; . Chronic administration (i.e., longer than 14 days) of immunosuppressant drugs or other immune-modifying drugs within 6 months prior to the first vaccine dose or planned use during the study. For instance, for corticosteroids, this means prednisone, or equivalent, ≥ 0.5 mg/kg/day (inhaled and topical steroids are allowed whereas intra-articular and epidural injection/administration of steroids are not allowed); . Presence of contraindications to administration of the study vaccine on Day 0: acute severe febrile illness deemed by the Investigator to be a contraindication for vaccination or persistent diarrhea or vomiting;

    Number of participants with Serious Adverse Events and severe Adverse Events [1]
    End point description
    An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose met any of the following conditions: • Resulted in death; • Was life-threatening; • Required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing inpatient hospitalization; • Resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; • Was a congenital anomaly/birth defect; • Was medically important. A solicited AE is a pre-selected sign or symptom that occurred within 7 days after each dose, whereas unsolicited AEs were collected throughout the study. Solicited AEs included headache, fatigue, myalgia, arthralgia, paresthesia, anesthesia, paralysis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. A severe AE is an AE that prevented normal everyday activities and which was not classified as an SAE. A related AE is an AE the investigator considered probably or possibly caused by the study vaccine, meaning that there was a reasonable temporal association or the AE was not attributable to other conditions.

    End point title
    Seroprotection Rate after a single dose of tOPV [2]
    End point description
    Seroprotection rate was defined as the percentage of participants with anti-type 2-specific poliovirus neutralizing antibody titers ≥ 1:8. Neutralizing antibodies against poliovirus type 2 were determined using the World Health Organization (WHO) standard microneutralization assay (WHO EPI GEN 93.9). The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was 5.7 and the upper limit of quantitation (ULOQ) was 1448. Analysis Population Description: Participants in the per-protocol population. The per-protocol population excluded participants with missed doses or major protocol deviations considered to have a potential impact on immunogenicity from the time of the deviation and at all time points thereafter. This endpoint was analyzed after one dose of nOPV hence Groups 1 and 2 are combined for analysis, as specified in the study protocol.

    Seroconversion Rate After a Single Dose of tOPV [5]
    End point description
    Measure Description: Seroconversion is defined as a change from seronegative to seropositive (poliovirus type-2-specific neutralizing antibody titers ≥ 1:8), or for participants seropositive at Baseline, an antibody titer increase of ≥ 4-fold over Baseline titer. Analysis Population Description Participants in the seroconversion subset of the per-protocol population. The seroconversion subset included participants with Baseline titer sufficiently low to enable observation of a four-fold increase. Since this endpoint was analyzed after 1 dose of tOPV, Groups 1 and 2 are combined for analysis

    Notes
    [5] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: for this endpoint Day 28 data have been reported combined for both Groups and for Group 2
