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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate that Purified Vero Rabies Vaccine - Serum Free Vaccine generation 2 (VRVg-2) was non-inferior to Verorab and Imovax Rabies vaccines when co-administered with human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG), in terms of proportion of subjects achieving a rabies virus neutralising antibody (RVNA) titer greater than or equal to (>=) 0.5 international units per millilitre (IU/mL) at Day 28, i.e., 14 days after the fourth vaccine injection.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subjects were informed of the risks of participating in the trial in accordance with international guidelines and applicable regulations. Vaccinations were performed by qualified and trained study personnel. Subjects with allergy to any of the vaccine components were not vaccinated. After vaccination, subjects were also kept under clinical observation for 30 minutes to ensure their safety. Appropriate medical equipment were also available on site in case of any immediate allergic reactions. Subjects were followed up for safety according to the endpoints of the trial. The safety follow-up for serious adverse events and adverse events of special interest lasted 6 months after the last vaccination.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: The vaccinated number of subjects in each visit is less than the number of randomised subjects as not all randomised subjects received vaccination at each visit or not all randomised subjects presented at each visit.

    End point description
    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study vaccine and does not necessary had to have a causal relationship with treatment. An unsolicited AE was an observed AE that did not fulfill the conditions prelisted in the case report book (CRB) in terms of diagnosis and/or onset post-vaccination. All subjects were observed for 30 minutes after any vaccination, and any unsolicited AEs occurred during that time were recorded as immediate unsolicited AEs in the CRB. Immediate AEs considered as related to vaccination were recorded as immediate unsolicited adverse reactions (ARs). Analysis was performed on the safety analysis set (SafAS) that included subject who had received at least one dose of the study vaccine and were analysed according to the actual treatment received. Here, 'n' = subjects with available data for each specified category.

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study vaccine and does not necessary had to have a causal relationship with treatment. An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death, life-threatening, initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalisation, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect or a medically important event. An AESI was defined as one of scientific and medical concern specific to the Sponsor’s product or program, for which ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by the Investigator to the Sponsor was appropriate. All SAEs and AESIs occurring during the study that were related to the product administered were reported by the Investigator to the Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board. Relatedness to study vaccine was based on Investigator’s discretion. Analysis was performed on the SafAS.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Unsolicited AE data collected from Day 0 (post-vaccination 1) up to 28 days post any vaccination. SR data collected within 7 days post any vaccination. SAE were collected from Baseline (Day 0) up to 6 months after last vaccination (i.e., up to Month 7)
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Analysis performed on SafAS. SR: an expected AR observed and reported under conditions (nature and onset) prelisted (i.e., solicited) in protocol and CRB and considered as related to vaccination. An unsolicited AE: an observed AE that did not fulfill conditions prelisted (i.e., solicited) in CRB in terms of diagnosis and/or onset post-vaccination.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    27 Sep 2019
    Following changes were made: Any study conducted in healthy volunteers could be put on hold by the Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament et des Produits de Santé (ANSM) due to any SAE. Consequently, the SAE “multiple crises of abnormal movements in both arms and legs” led to the temporary halt of the study from 06 September 2019 to 10 September 2019. That SAE was considered as related to the vaccine by the Investigator and unrelated by the Sponsor. As per the recommendations of the ANSM, all subjects who were participating in the study had to be informed about the related SAEs in the informed consent form (ICF) or through an addendum to the ICF. The subjects were also informed about the temporary halt and the increase in sample size. The Investigators were notified and the Investigator’s Brochure was updated with this information. Due to the temporary halt, the Sponsor increased the sample size to replace subjects who were to be excluded from the PPAS due to inability to perform the vaccination within allowed time windows for the first 4 dose and adjusted the attrition rate of the study from 15% to 20% to ensure the adequate power to fulfill the primary and key secondary objectives.
    27 Apr 2020
    Following changes were made: Due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic, enrollment of subjects was paused on 12 March 2020 due to increased number of cases in France. Ongoing vaccinations were stopped on 16 March 2020 due to the confinement established in the country and consequent impossibility to follow study visits within requested time window. As the study vaccine was administered in healthy individuals in simulated schedule, there was no safety issue in case of incomplete vaccination. Different measures were taken according to the stage of vaccination:• For 3 subjects who had finished their vaccination scheme, follow-up was monitored by phone. The 2 due visits (Visit [V] 06 [Day 42] and V07 [Day 56]) were replaced by phone call to monitor safety (no blood sample was taken). • For 29 subjects who had not finished their vaccination scheme, they were withdrawn from the study due to protocol deviation (ie, inability to attend vaccination visit within allowed time windows), but they continued to be followed for safety. The follow-up of these subjects was monitored by phone. •The 6-month follow-up was done by phone as planned in protocol. These measures were taken by Sponsor to ensure the well-being of subjects (ie, to limit exposure to COVID-19) and were implemented without IRB/IEC approval, as per national and international guidance’s. However, IRB/IEC and health authorities were informed promptly about measures reported in the amendment. The enrollment resumed as soon as subjects’ safety was ensured, and national health authorities and Ethic Committee approved. The Sponsor increased sample size of the study to replace subjects who were to be excluded from PPAS due to inability to attend vaccination visit within allowed time windows for the first 4 dose or inability to take blood samples during the confinement and to ensure adequate statistical power to fulfill the primary and key secondary objectives and allowed further replacement of withdrawn subjects.
    09 Mar 2021
    Following changes were made: Most of the subjects were expected to have reached RVNA titers >= 0.5 IU/mL after 4 or 5 doses of any rabies vaccine. If this did not occurred (i.e., RVNA titers < 0.5 IU/mL at Day 42) or occurred lately (i.e., RVNA titers < 0.5 IU/mL up to Day 28 and RVNA titers >= 0.5 IU/mL from Day 42), the absence or delayed immune response to the rabies vaccination might suggested an undiagnosed comorbidity that causes immunosuppression. Therefore, any subject in this situation was to be offered additional blood tests to evaluate a potential immunosuppression, the assessment of the RVNA titer in case of non-response to the rabies vaccine before and after a vaccination with a licensed vaccine in the country might be offered, as applicable and according to the pre-exposure prophylaxis recommendations in national guidelines.
