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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.

    Percentage of Subjects With Local Reactions Within 7 Days After Vaccination 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 measured and recorded in measuring device units. 1 measuring device unit =0.5 centimeter (cm). Redness and swelling were graded as mild (0.5 to 2.0 centimetre [cm]), moderate (greater than [>] 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). Dose 1 to Dose 3 safety population included subjects who received Dose 1 and had safety follow up between Dose 1 and the blood draw visit 1 month after Dose 3. Here, “number of subjects analysed ” signifies subjects evaluable for this endpoint.

    End point description
    Systemic events included fever, decreased appetite, drowsiness, irritability and were recorded by using an electronic diary. Fever was categorised as >=38.0 degree Celsius (C), >=38.0 to 38.4 degree C, >38.4 to 38.9 degree C, >38.9 to 40.0 degree C and >40.0 degree 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 (disabled, not interested in usual daily activity). Irritability was graded as mild (easily consolable), moderate (required increased attention) and severe (inconsolable; crying could not be comforted). Dose 1 to Dose 3 safety population included subjects who received Dose 1 and had safety follow up between Dose 1 and the blood draw visit 1 month after Dose 3. Here, “number of subjects analysed” signifies subjects evaluable for this endpoint.

Results were expressed as IgG concentrations. GMCs and 2-sided CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of the concentrations and the corresponding confidence intervals (CIs) based on the Student 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.

    Serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) at 1 Month After Vaccination 4
    End point description
    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 centrally 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 t distribution. Dose 4 evaluable immunogenicity population: eligible subjects aged 42-98 days on dose 1, received assigned vaccine as randomized for all 4 doses, with Dose 4 received in the defined window (365-386 days of age), had valid determinate IgG concentration for at least 1 serotype 1 month post dose 4, had blood collection within 27-56 days post dose 4, had not received prohibited vaccines before the blood draw at 1 month post dose 4, had no major protocol deviations.
