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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Meningococcus group B disease, which can cause a variety of symptoms. The most serious of these are meningitis, and septicaemia (also known as blood poisoning).
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Meningitis group B
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Diseases [C] - Bacterial Infections and Mycoses [C01]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To determine if giving one booster dose of a licensed vaccine (4CMenB) to protect against meningococcal group B disease produces an antibody response that is protective in teenagers who were immunised as infants, as opposed to the two doses that are required for adolescents who have never been vaccinated before.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To investigate the persistence of the protective antibody response in adolescents who were vaccinated against meningococcal group B disease as infants, and those who were vaccinated as an infant with a toddler booster vaccine.

    We will also explore:
    -the quantity and qualities of the responses to the vaccine including if the immune system keeps a memory of having encountered the vaccine, in adolescents after infant vaccination, after infant vaccination with toddler boosting, and after adolescent vaccination.
    - the impact of the vaccine on fever and other possible vaccine side effects in adolescents
    - if a giving a booster dose of the vaccine is more likely to result in expected vaccine side effects
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    For recruitment to all study groups:

    • History of anaphylactic reaction to any component of the vaccine
    • No internet access for the duration of the study.
    • Any other significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the participants at risk because of participation in the trial, or may influence the result of the trial, or the participant’s ability to participate in the trial.

    • Any previous vaccination with another meningococcal B vaccine (such as outer membrane vesicle vaccines)
    • Receipt of immunosuppressive therapy such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy within the preceding 1 month or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy (e.g. oral prednisolone >0.5ml/kg/day or intravenous glucocorticoid steroid). However, this may be discussed on a case-by-case basis. Nasal, topical or inhaled steroids are allowed.

    Exclusion to Naïve groups 7 and 8 only
    • Previous vaccination with 4CMenB vaccine or with any other meningococcal B vaccine (such as outer membrane vesicle vaccines)
    • Receipt of immunosuppressive therapy such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

    • Long term prophylactic antibiotic use

    Day 0, day 28 and 180 and 365 days post-treatment.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    To investigate the persistence of the protective antibody response in adolescents who were vaccinated against meningococcal group B disease as infants, and those who were vaccinated as an infant with a toddler booster vaccine.
