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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    1.In a population who are seronegative to the relevant human papilloma virus (HPV) type at Day 1, to demonstrate that administration of a 2-dose regimen of 9-valent human papilloma virus vaccine (9vHPV) vaccine in boys and girls 9 to 14 years of age induces noninferior Competitive Luminex Immunoassay (cLIA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) of antibodies to each of the 9vHPV vaccine types compared with young women 16 to 26 years of age receiving a 3-dose regimen of the same vaccine at Day1, Month 2, and Month 6.
    2.In 10-to 15-year old boys and girls who received a single dose of 9vHPV vaccine at least 1 year prior to enrollment, to characterize the
    immune response to a second dose of 9vHPV vaccine (as measured by cLIA GMTs of antibodies to each of the 9vHPV vaccine types) at
    4 weeks post dose 2 taking into account the time interval between administration of doses 1 and 2.
    3.To evaluate the safety of administering the 9vHPV vaccine based on the dosing regimens investigated in this study.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    1. Cohorts 1-5*: To estimate seroconversion at 4 weeks post last dose to each of the HPV Types 6, 11,16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 (percent of participants seropositive at 4 weeks post last dose).
    2. Cohorts 1-5*: To estimate persistence of seroconversion to each of the HPV Types 6,11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 observed at 4 weeks post last dose through estimation of seropositivity at yearly time intervals relative to time of last dose, through 3 years post last dose.
    3. Cohorts 1-5*: To estimate persistence of anti-HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 cLIA GMTs observed at 4 weeks post last dose at yearly time intervals relative to time of last dose, through 3 years post last dose.
    *Cohort 1: 9-14 year olds receiving 2 doses 12 months apart; Cohort 2: 9-13 year olds receiving 2 doses 24 months apart; Cohort 3: 9-12 year olds receiving 2 doses 36 months apart; Cohort 4: 9-10 year olds receiving 2 doses 60 months apart; and Cohort 5: 16-26 year old women receiving 3 doses.

As appropriate based on local guidelines, the participant will also provide documented informed assent for the study. The participant or the participant’s legally acceptable representative may also provide assent/consent for future biomedical research. However, the participant may participate in the main study without participating in future biomedical research.
