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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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 measure the level of immune response [HAI-haemagglutinin Antibody Inhibition titres] of a single intramuscular dose of the quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (Vaxigrip Tetra®) in healthy participants aged 60 years and above
    Protection of trial subjects
    Study-related SAEs were to be collected after the administration of the study vaccine until the end of the procedures at visit 5 (day 28 ± 4). Blood collection was limited to the amount required for study analysis. No additional blood was taken from participants. The IMP used in this study was Vaxigrip Tetra®, a marketed vaccine. Vital signs were assessed at each study visit and SAEs were followed up during the study (e.g. by targeted physical examination if deemed necessary by the investigator).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 A total of 76 subjects were enrolled and screened. From these, 50 participants were randomized and subsequentially vaccinated in the study. All study participants were of Caucasian origin and enrolled in Belgium, at the Centre for The Evaluation of Vaccination between 12OCT2021 and 03JAN2022.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 A total of 76 subjects were enrolled and screened. From these, 50 participants were randomized and subsequentially vaccinated in the study. Main inclusion criteria: Male or female of non-childbearing potential aged 60 years and above; subjects were healthy or with well-controlled pre-existing medical conditions by the opinion of the investigator.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: A total of 76 participants was enrolled in the study, of which 15 (participants were deemed screen failures during the first study visit (screening) Of the 61 participants deemed eligible after screening, 52 returned to the second study visit. In total, 50 participants received the study vaccine during visit 2 and were therefore included in the TVC. The other 2 participants did not receive the study vaccine because they did not meet the inclusion criteria (1 participant) or due to a physician.
