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   44195   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7329   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.

    examination, and clinical judgment of the investigator to be eligible for
    inclusion in the study.
    Note: Healthy participants with preexisting stable disease, defined as
    disease not requiring significant change in the therapy or hospitalization
    for worsening disease during the 6 weeks before enrollment, can be
    included.
    Phase 2/3: Specific criteria for such participants with known stable
    infection with HIV, HCV, or HBV can be found in Section 10.7.
    4. Participants are expected to be available for the duration of the study
    and whose parent(s)/legal guardian can be contacted by telephone
    during study participation.
    5. Negative urine pregnancy test for female participants who are
    biologically capable of having children.
    6. Female participant of childbearing potential or male participant able to
    father children who is willing to use a highly effective method of
    contraception as outlined in this protocol for at least 28 days after the
    last dose of study intervention if at risk of pregnancy with her/his
    partner; or female participant not of childbearing potential or male
    participant not able to father children.
    Informed Consent:
    7. The participant or participant's parent(s)/legal guardian is capable of
    giving signed informed consent as described in Appendix 1, which
    includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the
    ICD and in this protocol. Depending on the age of the participant and
    according to local requirements, participants will also be asked to
    provide assent as appropriate (verbal or written).
    The investigator, or a person designated by the investigator, will obtain
    written or electronically signed informed consent (and assent) from each
    study participant or participant's legal guardian (as defined in Appendix
    1) and the participant's assent, when applicable, before any studyspecific
    activity is performed. All legal guardians should be fully
    informed, and participants should be informed to the fullest extent
    possible, about the study in language and terms they are able to
    understand. The investigator will retain the original copy of each
    participant's signed consent/assent document.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Medical Conditions:
    1. Phase 1 only: Past clinical (based on COVID-19 symptoms/signs
    alone, if a SARS CoV 2 NAAT result was not available) or microbiological

    result) diagnosis of COVID 19.

    4. Previous or current diagnosis of MIS-C.
    5. Other medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the
    past year) or active suicidal ideation/behavior or laboratory abnormality
    that may increase the risk of study participation or, in the investigator's
    judgment, make the participant inappropriate for the study. Note: This
    includes both conditions that may increase the risk associated with
    study intervention administration or a condition that may interfere with
    the interpretation of study results
    6. History of severe adverse reaction associated with a vaccine and/or
    severe allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) to any component of the study
    intervention(s).
