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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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
    1. To compare the immunogenicity of the tetanus and lower dose diphtheria toxoids of ADACEL™ with QUADRACEL™ when given as a fifth dose. 2. To compare the redness, swelling, pain, and fever rates after the ADACEL™ dose with the rates of these adverse events observed after the QUADRACEL™ dose when given as a fifth dose.
    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.
    Background therapy
    Subjects enrolled in this study were due for their fifth dose and had completed the primary series and fourth dose that consisted of four previous administrations of the pentavalent vaccine, PENTACEL®.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study subjects were enrolled from 12 August 2002 to 11 January 2003 at 8 clinic centers in Canada.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 593 subjects were enrolled and randomized in the study, 590 were vaccinated and reported.

    Blinding implementation details
    This modified double-blind study used a single unblinded vaccine administrator and blinded safety assessors. The Investigator and study/sponsor personnel were blind to the vaccines. The study vaccination nurse was responsible for administration of the vaccine and keeping the treatment randomization cards. Blinded or unblinded staff could collect blood samples. In the event of an emergency, i.e., serious adverse event, the code could be broken by the Investigator according to protocol.

    Percentage of Subjects With Change in Limb Circumference by Time Period Following Vaccination with Either ADACEL® or QUADRACEL® as Fifth Dose at 4-6 Years of Age
    End point description
    At baseline, limb circumference was measured over the site the vaccine was administered. Limb circumference was measured and recorded by the parent every day for the 14 days following vaccination. Arm swelling was defined as the increase in measurement on Days 0-14 as compared to the baseline taken pre-vaccination. The percentage of subjects with an increase from baseline (0-0.99 cm, 1.00-1.99 cm, 2.00-2.99 cm, and ≥ 3 cm) are reported.

    End point title
    Percentage of Subjects With Rash by Maximum Intensity and Time Period Following Vaccination with Either ADACEL® or QUADRACEL® as Fifth Dose at 4-6 Years of Age
    End point description
    Rash was defined as the presence of welts (large, red, swollen patches). A "rash" reaction was intended to capture subjects with an allergic reaction to the vaccine that was manifested by rash (excluding other obvious causes of rash, i.e., diaper rash or poison ivy).
    End point type
    Secondary
    End point timeframe
    Days 0-3, 4-14, and 0-14 post-vaccination, late onset (max. intensity on Days 4-14 by those reporting no events during Days 0-3), and re-occurrence (onset of events within Days 0-3 that stopped and re-occurred prior to Day 14).
