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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    Safety: To describe the safety profile of 20vPnC. Safety assessments included local reactions, systemic events and adverse events. Immunogenicity: Noninferiority of IgG GMCs (2-fold criterion) at 1 month after Dose 4 (co-primary) and 1 month after Dose 3 (key secondary); Percentage of participants with predefined IgG concentrations 1 month after Dose 3 (co-primary; 10% Noninferiority criterion); Noninferiority of percentage of participants with prespecified antibody levels to specific concomitant vaccine antigens 1 month after Dose 3. The 7 additional serotypes in the 20vPnC group were compared with the lowest result among vaccine serotypes in the 13vPnC group for noninferiority evaluation of pneumococcal endpoints.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were followed.

    Percentage of Subjects With Local Reactions Within 7 Days After Dose 1 [1]
    End point description
    Local reactions were recorded using an electronic diary. Local reactions included redness, swelling and pain at the injection site. Redness and swelling were graded as mild (0.5 to 2.0 cm), moderate (>2.0 to 7.0 cm) and severe (>7.0 cm). Pain at injection site was graded as mild (hurt if gently touched example, whimpered, winced, protested, or withdrew), moderate (hurt if gently touched, with crying), and severe (caused limitation of limb movement). Safety population included all the subjects who received at least 1 dose of the investigational product (IP) with safety follow up after any dose. Here, ‘Number of Subjects Analyzed’ = number of subjects with any electronic diary (e-diary) data reported after Dose 1.

    End point description
    Systemic events included fever, decreased appetite, drowsiness/increased sleep, and irritability. Fever was defined as an axillary temperature greater than or equal to (>=)38.0 degrees Celsius (C); decreased appetite was graded as mild (decreased interest in eating), moderate (decreased oral intake) and severe (refusal to feed); drowsiness was graded as mild (increased or prolonged sleeping bouts), moderate (slightly subdued, interfered with daily activity) and severe (disabling, not interested in usual daily activity); irritability: graded as mild (easily consolable), moderate (required increased attention) and severe (inconsolable, crying could not be comforted). Safety population included all the subjects who received at least 1 dose of the IP with safety follow up after any dose. ‘Number of Subjects Analyzed’ = number of subjects with any e-diary data reported after Dose 1.

    Serotype-specific IgG Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) and Geometric Mean Ratios (GMRs) at 1 Month After Dose 4
    End point description
    Concentrations of anticapsular IgG for the 20 pneumococcal serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 23F, 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F, and 33F) were determined in all subjects at 1 month after Dose 4 using the Luminex assay. Results were expressed as IgG concentrations. GMCs and 2-sided CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of the concentrations and the corresponding CIs based on the Student's t distribution. Dose 4 evaluable immunogenicity population: eligible subjects aged 42-98 days on Dose 1, received all 4 doses to which they were randomized, and were 365 to 455 days of age, inclusive, on the day of Dose 4, had at least 1 valid immunogenicity result within 27 to 56 days after Dose 4, and had no other major protocol deviations as determined by the clinician. Here, "Number of Subjects Analyzed" = number of participants with valid IgG concentrations for the specified serotype reported at 1 month after Dose 4.

    Pneumococcal IgG antibody against each of the 20 pneumococcal serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 23F, 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F and 33F) was measured using direct binding Luminex assay. Results were expressed as IgG concentrations. GMCs and 2-sided CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of the concentrations and the corresponding CIs based on the Student's t distribution. Dose 3 evaluable immunogenicity population: eligible subjects aged 42-98 days on Dose 1, received assigned vaccine, had valid determinate IgG concentration for at least 1 serotype 1 month post Dose 3, had blood collection within 27-56 days post Dose 3, had not received prohibited vaccines before the blood draw at 1 month post Dose 3, had no major protocol deviations. Here, ‘Number of Subjects Analysed’ = number of participants with valid IgG concentrations for the specified serotype reported at 1 month after Dose 3.

    Notes
    [82] - For the additional 7 serotypes, the compared results are from serotype 19A (13vPnC serotype with the lowest GMC, not including serotype 3) in the 13vPnC group. Noninferiority was declared if the lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI for the GMR (20vPnC/lowest 13vPnC) was greater than 0.5 (2-fold criterion).

    Percentage of Subjects With Predefined IgG Concentrations 1 Month After Dose 4
    End point description
    Pre-specified levels of serotypes were as follows: for serotype 1, 3, 4, 6A, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 23F, 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F, 33F: >=0.35 microgram per mL (mcg/mL), for serotype 5: >=0.23 mcg/mL, for serotype 6B: >=0.10 mcg/mL and for serotype 19A: >=0.12 mcg/mL. "Numbers of Subjects Analyzed" were the denominators and numbers of participants with an IgG concentration ≥ the predefined level for the given serotype were the numerator for the percentage calculations. 95% CI was based on the Clopper and Pearson method. Dose 4 evaluable immunogenicity population: eligible subjects aged 42-98 days on Dose 1, received 4 doses to which they were randomized, have at least 1 valid immunogenicity result within 27 to 56 days post Dose 4, and had no other major protocol deviations as determined by the clinician. Here, "Number of Subjects Analyzed" = number of participants with valid IgG concentrations for the specified serotype reported at 1 month after Dose 4.

    Antibody concentrations to each concomitant vaccine antigen (measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella) were determined on sera collected 1 month after Dose 4 from a randomly selected subset of participants with sufficient sera volumes. GMs and 2-sided CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of the concentrations and the corresponding CIs based on the Student's t distribution and were reported from Dose 4 evaluable immunogenicity subjects. Dose 4 evaluable immunogenicity population restricted to those who received the corresponding concomitant vaccine with the specified concomitant vaccine antigen.
