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   44376   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7389   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
    Sub Study A (SSA): To describe the efficacy of a booster dose of BNT162b2 against confirmed COVID-19 occurring from 7 days after the booster dose through the blinded follow-up period in participants without evidence of past SARS-CoV-2 infection. To describe the efficacy of a booster dose of BNT162b2 against confirmed COVID-19 occurring from 7 days after the booster dose through the blinded follow-up period in participants with and without evidence of past SARS-CoV-2 infection. To define the safety profile of a booster dose of BNT162b2.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Council for Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trials subjects were followed.

    End point title
    SSA: Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events [3]
    End point description
    An SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life-threatening (immediate risk of death); required inpatient hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation; persistent or significant disability/incapacity (substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions); congenital anomaly/birth defect; or that was considered as an important medical event. Safety population included all randomised subjects who received at least 1 dose of the study intervention.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    From booster dose to 6 months after booster dose and from 6 months after BNT162 vaccine for subjects who originally received placebo
    Notes
    [3] - 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.

    Occurrence of first severe COVID-19 infection based on FDA definition after booster dose without past SARS-CoV-2 infection is reported.

    Death and SAEs: up to 6 months after booster dose (or 6 months after BNT162 vaccine for subjects originally receiving placebo); Non-serious AEs: up to 1 month after booster dose (or 1 month after BNT162 vaccine for subjects originally receiving placebo)
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Same event may appear as both AE and SAE but are distinct events. An event may be categorised as serious in 1 subject and non-serious in another, or a subject may have experienced both AE and non-SAE.
