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   44366   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.

    End point title
    Number of participants with abnormal hematology and biochemistry laboratory parameter values at Day 8 [16]
    End point description
    In the analysis were included biochemistry parameters: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), bicarbonate, blood urea nitrogen, chloride, C reactive protein, creatinine, potassium, sodium; and hematology parameters: eosinophils, erythrocytes, hemoglobin, lymphocytes, platelets, monocytes, neutrophils, white blood cells (WBC).Below = value below the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter; Within = value within the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter; Above = value above the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter. The analysis was performed on the ES. Only participants for whom the specified laboratory data were available for the specified duration were included in analysis.

    Notes
    [16] - 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: This endpoint was descriptive, hence no statistical hypothesis was tested.

    In the analysis were included biochemistry parameters: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), bicarbonate, blood urea nitrogen, chloride, C reactive protein, creatinine, potassium, sodium; and hematology parameters: eosinophils, erythrocytes, hemoglobin, lymphocytes, platelets, monocytes, neutrophils, white blood cells (WBC).Below = value below the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter; Within = value within the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter; Above = value above the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter. The analysis was performed on the ES. Only participants for whom the specified laboratory data were available for the specified duration were included in analysis.

    Mean percent change from baseline (pre-vaccination, Day 1) in hematology and biochemistry parameters post-dose 1 (Day 8 relative to baseline [pre-vaccination Day 1]) [20]
    End point description
    In the analysis were included biochemistry parameters: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), bicarbonate, blood urea nitrogen, chloride, C reactive protein, creatinine, potassium, sodium; and hematology parameters: eosinophils, erythrocytes, hemoglobin, lymphocytes, platelets, monocytes, neutrophils, white blood cells (WBC). The analysis was performed on the ES. Only participants for whom the specified laboratory data after dose 1 administration were available for the specified duration were included in analysis.

    Notes
    [20] - 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: This endpoint was descriptive, hence no statistical hypothesis was tested.

    End point description
    In the analysis were included biochemistry parameters: ALT, AST, bicarbonate, blood urea nitrogen, chloride, C reactive protein, creatinine, potassium, sodium; and hematology parameters: eosinophils, erythrocytes, hemoglobin, lymphocytes, platelets, monocytes, neutrophils, WBC. The analysis was performed on the ES. Only participants for whom the specified laboratory data after dose 2 administration were available for the specified duration were included in analysis.

    Geometric mean concentration (GMC) of anti-HBs antibody concentrations
    End point description
    Anti-HBs antibody concentration was measured as GMC and expressed in milli international units per milliliter (mIU/mL). The analysis was performed on the Per-Protocol set (PPS), which included all participants who received all doses as per protocol, had immunogenicity results post-dose, complied with dosing/blood draw intervals, without intercurrent conditions that may interfere with immunogenicity and without prohibited concomitant medication/vaccination. Only participants with data available at the specified timepoints were included in the analysis.
