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.

    Additional exclusion criteria for group 2 and control groups A&B
    • Clinically significant disturbances of electrolyte balance, eg, hypokalaemia or hypomagnesaemia
    • Use of systemic antibiotics with known antimalarial activity within 30 days of CHMI (e.g. trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, doxycycline, tetracycline, clindamycin, erythromycin, fluoroquinolones and azithromycin).
    • History of sickle cell anaemia, sickle cell trait, thalassaemia or thalassaemia trait or any haematological condition that could affect susceptibility to malaria infection.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    1. To assess the safety and tolerability of new candidate malaria vaccines ChAdOx1 LS2 administered alone, and with MVA LS2 in a prime-boost regimen by the intramuscular routes in healthy malaria-naïve volunteers
    2. To assess the efficacy (occurrence of P. falciparum parasitemia, assessed by blood slide) of ChAdOx1 LS2 and MVA LS2 administered in prime-boost vaccination regimen against malaria sporozoite challenge, in healthy malaria-naïve volunteers.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Evaluation of the adverse events following vaccination will begin as soon as the first vaccine is given, and will continue throughout the remainder of the trial. It will be assessed by analysing adverse event data collected from diary cards,
    clinical review of volunteers, and laboratory measurements. Any adverse events persisting at the end of the trial will be followed up until there is a satisfactory resolution or stabilisation occurs or until a non study related causality is found.

    Evaluation for blood stage malaria infection will occur from Day 6.5 following malaria challenge to Day 21 following malaria challenge.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    1. To assess cell-mediated immunogenicity generated in malaria naïve individuals of intramuscular prime-boost vaccination schedule with ChAdOx1 LS2 and MVA LS2.
    2. To assess the efficacy (measured as time to P. falciparum parasitemia assessed by blood slide, by PCR, and parasite density dynamics assessed by PCR) of ChAdOx1 LS2 and MVA LS2 administered in prime-boost vaccination regimen against malaria sporozoite challenge, in healthy malaria-naïve volunteers.
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Immunology investigations will be collected on blood specimens taken from volunteers across the course of their participation in the trial.

    PCR data will be collected from Day 6.5 to day 21 (or until malaria diagnosis) to establish time to 20 parasites per ml and time to 500 parasites per ml.
