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   44064   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7320   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 demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody response to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a single dose of Meningococcal Polysaccharide (Serogroups A, C, Y and W) Tetanus Toxoid (MenACYW) conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® in toddlers who either were meningococcal vaccine naïve or had received monovalent MenC vaccination during infancy 2) To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody response to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a single dose of MenACYW conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® in meningococcal vaccine naïve toddlers.
    Protection of trial subjects
    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 were also available on site in case of any immediate allergic reactions.

Weighted average of the difference over strata was calculated using the Minimal Risk weights with the null variance method. Non-inferiority was demonstrated if the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% CI of the difference between the 2 percentages was > -10%.

    End point description
    Per-protocol analysis set was a subset of full analysis set which included all subjects who received at least 1 dose of the study vaccine and had a valid post-vaccination serology result. The subjects who presented protocol deviations were excluded from per-protocol analysis set. Here, "n" signified number of subjects with available data for each category.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Adverse event (AE) data were collected from Day 0 up to Day 30 post-vaccination. Solicited Reaction (SR) data were collected from Day 0 up to Day 7 post-vaccination.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    SR was an AE that was prelisted in eCRF and considered to be related to vaccination. SR: adverse drug reaction observed and reported under the conditions prelisted (i.e., solicited) in eCRF. Unsolicited AE was an observed AE that did not fulfill conditions prelisted in eCRF in terms of symptom and/or onset post-vaccination. Safety Analysis Set.
