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.

    To demonstrate in children 6-35 months of age the absolute efficacy of QIV in the prevention of symptomatic influenza infection due to any circulating seasonal influenza strain compared to a non-influenza vaccine.
    Dimostrare nei bambini tra 6 e 35 mesi di età l’efficacia assoluta del vaccino antinfluenzale quadrivalente (QIV) nella prevenzione dell’infezione da influenza sintomatica dovuta a qualsiasi ceppo influenzale stagionale rispetto a un vaccino non antinfluenzale.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    -Demonstrate the absolute efficacy of QIV in the prevention of symptomatic influenza infection of antigenically-matching influenza strains compared to a non-influenza vaccine
    -Describe the immunogenicity of each of the strains in QIV with respect to HI in all subjects and VN and NI antibody titers in randomized population subsets.
    -Describe CMI for a subset of subjects at selected sites
    -Describe Year 2 baseline and post-vaccination immunogenicity for each of the strains in QIV with respect to HI in all subjects and NI and VN in random population subsets of subjects exposed to QIV in Year 1 and who will receive revaccination
    -Evaluate the occurrence of all-cause mortality, hospitalization, ILIs, all-cause pneumonia and otitis media in the QIV group compared with the non-influenza vaccine control groups
    -Explore potential immunological correlates of protection based on determined HI antibody titers and RT-PCR outcomes
    -Evaluate healthcare utilization and health economic outcomes
    -Dimostrare l’efficacia assoluta del QIV nella prevenz dell’infez da influenza sintomatica di ceppi influenz antigenicamente corrispondenti rispetto a un vaccino non antinfluenz.
    -Descrivere l’immunogenicità di ogni ceppo del QIV relativam all’inibizione dell’emoagglutinina (HI) in tutti i soggetti e ai titoli anticorpali di neutralizzaz del virus (VN) e di inibiz della neuraminidasi (NI) in sottogruppi casuali della popolaz.

    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1.Male or female subjects between, and including, 6 and 35 months* of age at Day 1 and in stable health as judged by medical history, physical examination and clinical judgment of the Investigator. Subjects may have underlying chronic disorders as long as their symptoms/signs are controlled and yearly (seasonal) influenza vaccination is not recommended as a result of the underlying condition. If at the time of enrolment the subject has been on medication for a pre-existing condition, the dose must have been stable for at least three months.
    2.Subjects who are 6-24 months of age at Day 1 should have been born at full term of pregnancy (≥ 37 weeks gestation) and with a birth weight of ≥ 2.5 kg.
    3.Written informed consent obtained from the parent(s)/LAR(s) of the subject.
    4.Subject and parent or other legally acceptable representative are able and willing to attend all scheduled visits and to comply with all trial procedures.
    * The age range for enrollment may be restricted at a country/region/site level if none of the non-influenza control vaccines can be used in one or more age groups.
    1. Soggetti di ambo i sessi tra i 6 e i 35 mesi (compresi) di età* al Giorno 1 e in condizioni di salute stabili in base all’anamnesi medica, all’esame obiettivo e al giudizio clinico dello sperimentatore. I soggetti possono presentare disturbi cronici di base, purché i sintomi/segni siano controllati e il vaccino antinfluenzale annuale (stagionale) non sia consigliato a causa della condizione di base. Se al momento dell’arruolamento il soggetto è trattato farmacologicamente per una condizione preesistente, la dose deve essere stata stabile per almeno tre mesi.
    2. I soggetti di età compresa tra 6 e 24 mesi al Giorno 1 devono essere nati a termine (≥37 settimane di gestazione) e con un peso alla nascita ≥2,5 kg.
    3. Consenso informato scritto ottenuto dai genitori/LAR del soggetto.
    4. Il soggetto e il genitore o il rappresentante legalmente accettabile sono disposti e in grado di partecipare a tutte le visite programmate e di rispettare tutte le procedure della sperimentazione.

    * La fascia di età per l’arruolamento può essere limitata a livello di Paese/regione/centro se nessuno dei vaccini di controllo non antinfluenzali può essere impiegato in una o più fasce di età.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1.Child in care
    2.History of allergy to egg, chicken proteins, or other vaccine components.
    3.History of serious adverse reaction to any vaccine.
    4.History of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
    5.Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune modifying medication within three months prior to the first vaccine dose or planned use thereof during the study.

    16.Any condition that in the opinion of the Investigator would pose a health risk to the subject if enrolled or could interfere with the evaluation of the vaccine including (but not limited to) bleeding disorder, immunodeficiency, seizure disorder, acute or progressive hepatic, renal, neurological or neuromuscular disease.
    17.Participation in the study prevents the receipt of scheduled routine childhood vaccinations or leads to deviations from recommended vaccination schedule which would have a medical impact.

    Addtional exlcusion criteria described in the Protocol section 5.2 would apply for non-influenza vaccines

    16. Qualsiasi condizione che, secondo il parere dello sperimentatore, rappresenterebbe un rischio per la salute del soggetto se arruolato o che potrebbe interferire con la valutazione del vaccino, compresi (a titolo esemplificativo ma non esaustivo) i disturbi emorragici, l’immunodeficienza, i disturbi convulsivi, una malattia epatica renale, neurologica o neuromuscolare acuta o progressiva.
    17. La partecipazione allo studio impedisce la somministrazione delle vaccinazioni pediatriche di routine programmate o provoca deviazioni dal programma di vaccinazioni consigliate che potrebbero avere delle ripercussioni mediche.

    Criteri di esclusione aggiuntivi descritti nel protocollo sez. 5.2 sono applicabili per i vaccini non antinfluenzali
