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
    To demonstrate that vaccination with Seqirus QIV elicits an immune response that is not inferior to that of a US licensed comparator QIV containing the same virus strains as Seqirus QIV, among a pediatric population 5 through 17 years of age.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This clinical study was designated, implemented and reported in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Harmonized Tripartite Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice (GCP), with applicable local regulations, and with the ethical principles laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki.

    End point title
    The Geometric Mean Titre (GMT) ratio of each virus strain (Comparator QIV over Seqirus QIV) [1]
    End point description
    Noninferiority of Seqirus QIV compared to comparator QIV was assessed by the eight co-primary endpoints of hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody geometric mean titer (GMT) and seroconversion rate (SCR) for each viral strain included in the vaccines. The GMT ratio is defined as the geometric mean of the postvaccination HI titer for the US-licensed comparator QIV over the geometric mean of the postvaccination HI titer for Seqirus QIV. The noninferiority criterion for the GMT ratio (adjusted analysis) was that the upper bound of the two-sided 95% CI of the GMT ratio for the Comparator QIV GMT, divided by the bioCSL QIV GMT, should not exceed 1.5. Analysis Population Description: The Per Protocol Population was used for the primary and secondary analysis of immunogenicity data and included subjects in the Evaluable Population minus any subjects with deviations that were thought to potentially affect the immunogenicity results, following medical review prior to unblinding.

    Justification: Noninferiority analysis by GMT Ratios: The noninferiority criterion for the GMT ratio was that the upper bound of the two-sided 95% CI of the GMT ratio for the Comparator QIV GMT, divided by the Seqirus QIV GMT, should not exceed 1.5.

    The difference in Seroconversion Rates (SCR) for each virus strain (Comparator QIV minus Seqirus QIV) [2]
    End point description
    Noninferiority of Seqirus QIV compared to Comparator QIV was assessed by the eight co-primary endpoints of HI geometric mean titer (GMT) and seroconversion rate (SCR) for each viral strain. The rate of SCR is defined as the percentage of subjects with either a prevaccination HI titer < 1:10 and a postvaccination HI titer ≥ 1:40, or a prevaccination HI titer ≥ 1:10 and a ≥ 4-fold increase in postvaccination HI titer. For the SCR comparison, the difference between the SCR for each virus strain will be determined. The noninferiority criterion for the SCR difference was that the upper bound of the two-sided 95% CI on the difference between SCRs for Comparator QIV minus the bioCSL QIV SCR should not exceed 10%.

    Immunogenicity Endpoint: Geometric Mean Fold Increase (GMFI)
    End point description
    The humoral immune response was assessed for Seqirus QIV & comparator QIV. Serum HI titers against the 4 influenza vaccine strains was used to calculate Geometric mean fold increase (GMFI): geometric mean fold titer rise from Day 1 to Exit Visit Analysis Population Description: The Per-Protocol Population comprised all subjects in the Evaluable Population who did not have any protocol deviations that were medically assessed as potentially impacting on immunogenicity results.
