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
    Primary objective of this trial is to demonstrate non-inferior immunogenicity (represented by seroconversion rate for tetanus and/or diphtheriae) of booster vaccination with the VACDITE vaccine compared to that of the reference vaccine (IMOVAX D.T. ADULT) in healthy adults.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The risk to subjects enrolled in this study was not higher than the general risks of adverse reactions after tetanus and diphtheriae vaccination because both commercial vaccines are registered in the Slovakia. Subjects were not exposed to more stress or pain than they are from the vaccination or blood sampling.
    Background therapy
    Healthy adults
    Evidence for comparator
    The comparator, further called as reference vaccine, was chosen as it was the only one bivalent vaccine against tetanus and dphtheriae available and authorised in the Slovakia. There was no other reason of this selection.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    In the study was planned to enrol a total of 200 subjects recruited from healthy adults. All patients were selected from outpatient’s clinic (clinical sites) according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. In one clinical site, there were planned to enrol a total of 50 subjects.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Subjects had have written confirmation on previous immunisation against tetanus and/or diphtheriae not later than 15.9 years and not early than 9.9 years.

    Blinding implementation details
    The single blinding was achieved by simple overlapping of subject eyes with a mask before the administration of vaccine. So a subject did not know which vaccine had been administered to him. The single blinding helped especially to objectively assess any adverse events.

    The vaccine was administered intramuscularly to minimize the occurrence of local adverse reactions as it is recommended by the manufacture. The recommended site of the application was deltoid region in adults. The vaccine dose was the same for both vaccines, i.e. volume of 0.5 ml. The volume of dose, including the way of administration was in accordance of SmPC of both study vaccines.

    [9] - Fisher's exact test, simple asymptotic interval of difference. The efficacy objective was met if the seroconversion rate induced with the test vaccine was not worse than 10% compared to reference vaccine-induced seroconversion rate (i.e. seroconversion rates of test minus reference vaccine, including the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval of this difference was not lower than -10%).

    Geometric means of antibodies
    End point description
    Concentrations of antibodies after booster immunisation were expressed with geometric mean (GMC).The ratio of GMCs (test/reference vaccine) was investigated. If the lower limit of 95% confidence interval of this ratio (i.e. [test] / [reference]) was > 0.67 and the two-sided confidence interval contained 1, then the criterion of non-inferiority was met.

    Rise in antibodies (RA) for tetanus
    End point description
    The rise in antibodies (RA) was obtained from ratio of the post- and pre-vaccination antibodies' level. The ratio of RA (test/reference vaccine) was investigated. If the lower limit of 95% confidence interval of this ratio (i.e. [test] / [reference]) was > 0.67 and the two-sided confidence interval contained 1, then the criterion of non-inferiority was met.

    Adverse event reporting additional description
    The measures of safety used in this study were routine clinical procedures. They were chosen to capture known undesirable effects of tboth vaccnes from the SmPC. Safety measures were conducted by the investigators. They included close vigilance for reporting of reactions on the day of immunisation and 4 weeks after immunisation.
