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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To investigate the proportion of patients with renal failure stadium 4 and 5, with or without dialysis, who have seroconverted 2 weeks after vaccine dose 2 or have at least 10^2 increase of neutralizing antibodies towards SARS-CoV-2 compared with baseline.
    Protection of trial subjects
    No specific protection of subjects, since all subjects were recommended the study drug (Covid-vaccine) in the national vaccine programme. Yet, all subjects reported side effects, and vaccination was postponed in some cases with severe side effects.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: A comparison of the proportion who seroconverted in each group not valid since 100% seroconverted i both groups. The absolut number of spike IgG was compared instead with Mann-Whitney, but their were no statistic difference in abslout numbers either.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    12 May 2021
    Origanally the studie was suppose to include different arms for different covid vaccines, but before study start it was decided to only use Pfizers mRNA vaccine
    01 Oct 2021
    Due to new Swedish recommendations adding an extra vaccine dose in the primary vaccine schedule to patients with chronic kidney diseas G 5 with and without in dialysis, this was added to the protocol.
    15 Feb 2022
    Adding a booster dose to all participants according to the Swedish recommendations, including an extra ( fourth dose) to subjects with chronic kidney disease G 5 woth or wothout dialysis

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
