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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate the non-inferiority in terms of seroprotection rates (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio types 1, 2 and 3) and seroconversion/vaccine response rates to Pertussis antigens (PT, FHA) of Sanofi Pasteur’s DTaP-IPV combined vaccine versus commercially available Biken’s DTaP (CJ purified PDT vaccine ™) and Aventis Pasteur’s IPV (IMOVAX POLIO™) monovalent vaccines, one month after the three-dose primary vaccination.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were randomized and vaccinated in the study. Vaccinations were performed by qualified and trained study personnel. Subjects with allergy to any of the vaccine components were not vaccinated. After vaccination, subjects were also kept under clinical observation for 30 minutes to ensure their safety. Appropriate medical equipment was also available on site in case of any immediate allergic reactions.

    Anti-Tetanus, Anti-Pertussis toxoid (PT), and Anti-Filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) antibody titers were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Anti-Diphtheria and Anti-Poliovirus types 1, 2, 3 antibody titers were measured using seroneutralization. Seroprotection for Anti-Tetanus and Anti-Diptheria was defined as antibody titers ≥ 0.1 IU/mL and for Anti-Poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 antibody titers ≥ 8 (1/dil). Seroconversion or vaccine response for Anti-PT and Anti-FHA was defined as ≥ 4-fold increase.

    [1] - The 95% CI was calculated based on the Wilson score method without continuity correction as described by Newcombe R.G. If the lower bound of the 95% CI was greater than -10% than the null hypothesis H0 was rejected and it could be concluded for the non-inferiority of valence i. DTaP-IPV vaccine (TETRAXIM™) was non-inferior to DTaP (CJ purified PDT vaccine) and IPV (IMOVAX POLIO™) monovalent vaccines.

    Geometric Mean Titer Ratios of Antibodies Against Vaccine Antigens Following A Three-Dose Primary Series Vaccination with Either DTaP-IPV Combined Vaccine (TETRAXIM™) or Commercially Available DTaP and IPV Monovalent Vaccines
    End point description
    Anti-Tetanus, Anti-Pertussis toxoid (PT), and Anti-Filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) antibody titers were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Anti-Diphtheria and Anti-Poliovirus types 1, 2, 3 antibody titers were measured using seroneutralization. The post-primary/pre-primary vaccination geometric mean ratio is reported.
