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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Determine the efficacy of VGX-3100 compared with placebo with respect to combined histopathologic regression of cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and virologic clearance of human papillomavirus (HPV-16) and/or HPV-18.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This protocol was implemented in accordance with the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use harmonised tripartite guideline E6(R2): Good Clinical Practice. Written informed consent was to be obtained from each subject and/or from the subject’s legally authorized representative prior to screening into the clinical trial. Subjects were asked to complete a participant diary card during their clinical trial participation to record local and systemic adverse events for 7 days after each clinical trial treatment. Subjects were provided with the investigator emergency contact information and advised to report all AEs.
    Background therapy
    Subjects might have used supportive medications for management of anxiety and pain due to treatment (topical anesthetic, mild sedative, analgesic).
    Evidence for comparator
    Placebo (150 mM sodium chloride and 15 mM sodium citrate) plus electroporation (EP) with CELLECTRA™ 5PSP.

    Number of Subjects With Any Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Following Investigational Treatment for the Duration of the Study
    End point description
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as AEs. An SAE is any experience that suggested a significant hazard, contraindication, side effect, or precaution, and fulfilled any of the following criteria: fatal (resulted in death), life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was medically significant or required intervention to prevent any of the tother outcomes listed here. Safety set was used.

    End point description
    Assessment of cellular immune activity was measured using the application flow cytometry for the purposes of performing a Lytic Granule Loading Assay. The Lytic Granule Loading assay examines the following external cellular markers: CD3, CD4, CD8 (T cell identification), CD137, CD38 and CD69 (T cell activation markers) as well as PD-1 (exhaustion/activation marker). Here change from baseline in CD8+CD137+Perforin+, CD8+CD38+Perforin+ and CD8+CD69+Perforin+ are reported. mITT population included all subjects who received at least one dose of clinical trial treatment and who had the analysis endpoint of interest. Overall number analysed is the number of subjects with data available for analysis. Number analysed is the number of subjects with data available for analysis at the specified timepoints.

    Date
    Amendment
    06 Jun 2016
    The main changes in Protocol version 2.0 include the following: • Added rationale for selection of nonfrozen formulation for Phase 3 clinical trial. • Added additional background information to Section 2 Study Design. • Clarified inclusion and exclusion criteria. • Administrative changes made throughout the protocol for clarification, that did not significantly affect the safety of subjects, clinical trial scope, or scientific quality of the protocol.
    10 Jun 2016
    The main changes in Protocol version 2.1 include the following: • Administrative and formatting changes were made to protocol version 2.0 dated 06Jun2016 resulting in protocol version 2.1 dated 10Jun2016.
    23 Sep 2016
    The main changes in Protocol version 3.0 include the following: • Name of the investigational product (IP) was changed from VGX-3100X to VGX-3100. The term VGX-3100 as used in protocol version 3.0 denoted 3.0 ± 0.2 mg/mL pGX3001 bulk plasmid and 3.0 ± 0.2 mg/mL pGX3002 bulk plasmid in SSC buffer, refrigerated formulation. • The population for the primary analysis for the clinical trial was changed from mITT based on complete data to intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis. Based on this change, the number of subjects to be enrolled in the clinical trial was now 198 instead of 165. • Modifications in objectives and endpoints • Modifications in inclusion and exclusion criteria • Modifications to the clinical trial evaluations • Section 2.1.3 Definition of Responder and Nonresponde • Added information on supplementation of subjects in case more than 10% of subjects randomly assigned to clinical trial treatment discontinued prior to the Week 36 primary endpoint procedure. • Section 5.7 Return and Destruction of Investigational Product • Section 6.1.1 Screening Evaluations • Section 6.15.1 Prohibited Concomitant Medications and Treatments • Added that progression of HSIL to microinvasive or invasive squamous cell carcinoma should be reported as an SAE. • Section 7.3.1 was modified to replace the term “events requiring expedited reporting” to “adverse events of special interest (AESI)”. Added clarification on reporting requirements to sponsor. • Section 7.4.2 was updated to reflect change in reporting contact details in event of SAE. • Section 8 Statistical Analysis section • Section 9.4.2 Pathology Adjudication Committee • Additional administrative clarifications were made to the protocol that did not significantly affect the safety of subjects, clinical trial scope, or scientific quality of the protocol.
    29 Mar 2018
    The main changes in Protocol version 4.0 include the following: • Modifications and updates to the hypothesis, objectives, and endpoints • Revisions to the inclusion and exclusion criteria • Updates were made to the Schedule of Events table to align with the protocol text and above-mentioned changes to the clinical trial endpoints and inclusion and exclusion criteria. • General updates and clarifications • Section 7.3 (Safety and Toxicity Management) was modified to align with safety assessments as stated in the section describing clinical trial design of clinical protocol synopsis. • Section 8 (Statistical Analysis Plan) was revised to align with the changes made to objectives and endpoints. • Section 9.4.2 (Pathology Adjudication Committee) was modified to refer to the PAC charter, which had the most current information regarding the PAC review process. • The PDC was unchanged but was removed from the Appendix since the PDC was a separate document. • Additional minor grammatical and administrative changes were made throughout the document for improving the general readability of the protocol.
    20 Nov 2019
    The main changes in Protocol version 5.0 include the following: • Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) testing and associated exploratory endpoint 2 was removed from the protocol in consideration of the HPV-003 clinical trial results which showed no clear association of HLA background as a predictor of response. • Group-level unblinded (VGX-3100, placebo) summaries and analyses of efficacy were to be produced once the primary endpoint Week 36 visit data were collected for all subjects. • The stopping rules outlined in Section 7.3.2, Stopping Rules (Criteria for Pausing of Study), were clarified to focus on unexpected, verified events and not include events that were already described as known adverse drug reactions. • Additional administrative clarifications were made to the protocol that did not significantly affect the safety of subjects, clinical trial scope, or scientific quality of the protocol.
