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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main 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.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The main side effects of 4CMenB are local reactions, general malaise, and the possibility of fever (although it is more common in infants receiving 4CMenB). This is thoroughly explained in patient information booklets, and we also collect data on these side effects throughout the study to inform future decision-making. Children who have never received a meningococcal B vaccine before usually require at least 2 doses to become immune to the disease. Adolescent 1 group receive one does of 4CMenB at the first visit to act as a control for the groups receiving the vaccine once as a booster to their childhood immunisations. However, this single dose would not be enough to provide sufficient level of protection long term. For the participants in Adolescent 1 group not to be disadvantaged when compared with other groups, they are offered a second dose of 4CMenB at day 365. This should provide them with sufficient level of protection as the adolescent vaccine schedule for 4CMenB says that the two required doses should be separated by at least four weeks but does not stipulate an upper limit. The blood tests that are required to quantify how well the vaccine has induced immunity against meningococcus B can cause some distress to participants. This is mitigated with explanation and reassurance, use of anaesthetic cream or cold spray where necessary, and employment of staff skilled in paediatric venepuncture. The study staff will ensure that the participants' anonymity is maintained. The participants will be identified only by initials and a participants ID number on the source and any electronic CRF. All documents will be stored securely and only accessible by study staff and authorised personnel. The study will comply with the Data Protection Act which requires data to be anonymised as soon as it is practical to do so. Any data or samples that relate to participants and that leave the study site will be identified by study number and or code only.
    Background therapy
    Not applicable
    Evidence for comparator
    The 4CMenB vaccine was developed to protect all age groups against group B meningococcal disease. The vaccine was licensed in 2013 in Europe, North America and other jurisdictions, however only the UK has included it in a vaccination programme restricted to infants. The UK schedule consists of three doses administered at 2, 4 and 12 months of age. During clinical development, the vaccine was evaluated in adolescents, and was shown that two doses of 4CMenB induced robust immune responses. In the UK and in many other countries group B is responsible for the majority of invasive meningococcal disease. Although the number of these cases is currently low in adolescents, 4CmenB could offer protection to those adolescents against this devastating disease, and the vaccine is already licensed for that age group (as a two dose schedule). However, an adolescent program was not initiated in the UK because of the many uncertainties surrounding the vaccine efficacy, duration of protection in this age group and the estimation to not be cost-effective. In the future, all adolescents in the UK will have received their primary course of 4CMenB vaccination in infancy (currently three doses at 2, 4 +12 months). However no study has yet quantified the immune response in adolescents after a primary course of vaccination with 4CMenB given as babies. The infant 4CMenB vaccination program was only started in 2015 in the UK, and so these children have not yet reached adolescence. While the level of vaccine-induced protective antibody titres against MenB more than 10 years after the last vaccination is expected to be low, previously immunised adolescents may have a substantial level of vaccine-specific memory B-cells. This may in turn produce a strong antibody recall response to a new encounter with the antigen in the form of a booster vaccine. If this is the case, a single dose adolescent booster could be envisaged as an addition to the current vaccination schedule.
