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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 the vaccine seroresponse sufficiency of meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y after the administration of a booster dose of MenACYW conjugate vaccine in subjects who received 1 dose of MenACYW conjugate vaccine approximately 5 years earlier as toddlers.
    Protection of trial subjects
    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.

    Group 1: Percentage of Subjects With Sufficiency of Serum Bactericidal Assay Using Human Complement (hSBA) Vaccine Seroresponse at 30 Days Post Booster Dose [1] [2]
    End point description
    Functional meningococcal antibody activity against serogroups A, C, Y, and W were measured in a serum bactericidal assay utilizing the hSBA. hSBA vaccine seroresponse for serogroups A, C, W, and Y was defined as: percentage of subjects with a pre-vaccination titer < 1:8, who had achieved a post-vaccination titer >= 1:16 or subjects with a pre-vaccination titer >= 1:8, who had achieved a post-vaccination titer at least 4-fold greater than the pre-vaccination titer. The seroresponse sufficiency was demonstrated if the lower limit of 1-sided 97.5% confidence interval (CI) is > 75%. The Per-Protocol Analysis Sets 1 (PPAS1) was a subset of the Full analysis set (FAS). The FAS consisted of subjects who had received the study vaccine and had a valid post-vaccination serology result 5-years after priming vaccination at visit 1. Here, n= number of subjects whose titers met the hSBA vaccine seroresponse criteria are analysed and 9999= Only 1-sided CI was determined.

    Number of Subjects With Immediate Unsolicited Systemic Adverse Events (AEs) [10]
    End point description
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical study subject, temporally associated with the use of study vaccine, whether or not considered related to the study vaccine. An unsolicited AE is an observed AE that does not fulfill the conditions of solicited reactions (i.e, pre-listed in the case report book (CRB) in terms of diagnosis and/or onset window post-vaccination). The Safety analysis set 1 (SafAS 1) consisted of subjects who had received the study vaccine 5 years after priming vaccination (Visit 1) and had any safety data available (Group 1).

    All noxious and unintended responses to a study vaccine related to any dose was considered adverse reactions (AR). A solicited reaction is an “expected” AR (sign or symptom) observed and reported under the conditions (nature and onset) pre-listed in the protocol and CRB. An injection/administration site reaction is an AR at and around the injection/administration site. Injection/administration site reactions are commonly inflammatory reactions. They were considered to be related to the study vaccine administered. Systemic reactions were all ARs that were not injection or administration site reactions and included systemic manifestations such as headache, fever, as well as localised or topical manifestations that are not associated with the vaccination or administration site. The SafAS 1 consisted of subjects who had received the study vaccine 5 years after priming vaccination (Visit 1) and had any safety data available (Group 1).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    16 Feb 2022
    Amended to add a study arm in order to describe the immunogenicity and safety of a booster dose and the persistence of a priming dose of MenACYW conjugate vaccine (MenQuadfi®) in adolescents who had been vaccinated with MenACYW conjugate vaccine approximately 10 years earlier as toddlers as part of the MET51 study. It was also to increase the study duration in the initial study arm to describe the immunogenicity and safety of a second booster dose (as adolescents approximately 5 years after the first booster dose) and the persistence of a first booster dose of MenACYW conjugate vaccine in adolescents who had been primed with MenACYW conjugate vaccine as toddlers as part of the MET51 study and had received a first booster dose as children approximately 5 years after the priming dose.

    Interruptions (globally)
