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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    Safety: To describe the safety profile of 20-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (20vPnC) by both subcutaneous (SC) injection and intramuscular (IM) injection. Immunogenicity: To demonstrate the percentage of subjects with predefined serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations for the 13 serotypes in the 20vPnC SC group are noninferior to the percentage of the corresponding serotypes in the 13vPnC SC group at 1 month after Dose 3. To demonstrate the percentage of subjects with predefined serotype-specific IgG concentrations for the 7 additional serotypes in the 20vPnC SC group are noninferior to the lowest percentage among the 13 serotypes in the 13vPnC SC group at 1 month after Dose 3. To describe the immune responses to 20 serotypes induced by 20vPnC given by IM injection at 1 month after Dose 3.
    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 Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were followed.

    Percentage of Subjects With Predefined Pneumococcal Serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Concentrations 1 Month After Dose 3
    End point description
    Pneumococcal serotype-specific IgG concentrations were measured for 20vPnC serotypes: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F. Assay results below the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) were set to 0.5*LLOQ. The predefined levels, >=0.35 micrograms/mL for all serotypes except for serotypes 5 (>=0.23 micrograms/mL), 6B (>=0.10 micrograms/mL) and 19A (>=0.12 micrograms/mL). Dose 3 evaluable immunogenicity population included eligible subjects who were 2 to 6 months of age at the first vaccination, received the first 3 doses as randomised, had at least 1 valid immunogenicity results from blood collection within 27 to 56 days after Dose 3, and had no other major protocol deviations per clinician. Here, number of subjects analysed=subjects with an IgG concentration greater than or equal to(>=)predefined level for given serotype and ‘n’=subjects with valid assay results for the specified serotype.

    Geometric Mean Concentration of Pneumococcal Serotype-Specific IgG Concentrations 1 Month After Dose 3
    End point description
    Pneumococcal serotype-specific IgG concentrations were measured for 20vPnC serotypes: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F. Assay results below the LLOQ were set to 0.5*LLOQ. Dose 3 evaluable immunogenicity population included eligible subjects who were 2 to 6 months of age at the first vaccination, received the first 3 doses as randomised, had at least 1 valid immunogenicity results from the blood collection within 27 to 56 days after Dose 3, and had no other major protocol deviations per clinician. Here, number of subjects analysed=subjects with an IgG concentration >= predefined level for given serotype and ‘n’ =subjects with valid assay results for the specified serotype.

    End point title
    Geometric Mean Concentration of Pneumococcal Serotype-Specific IgG Concentrations 1 Month After Dose 4
    End point description
    Pneumococcal serotype-specific IgG concentrations were measured for 20vPnC serotypes: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F. Dose 4 evaluable immunogenicity population included eligible subjects who were 2 to 6 months of age at Dose 1 and 12 to 15 months of age at Dose 4, received all 4 doses as randomised, had at least 1 valid assay result from the blood collection within 27 to 56 days after Dose 4, and had no other major protocol deviations per clinician. Here, number of subjects analysed=subjects with an IgG concentration >= predefined level for given serotype and ‘n’=subjects with valid assay results for the specified serotype.

    Percentage of Subjects With Pre-defined Pneumococcal IgG concentrations at 1 Month After Dose 4
    End point description
    Pneumococcal serotype-specific IgG concentrations were measured for 20vPnC serotypes: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F. The predefined levels, 0.35 micrograms/mL for all serotypes except for serotypes 5 (>=0.23 micrograms/mL), 6B (>=0.10 micrograms/mL) and 19A (>=0.12 micrograms/mL). Dose 4 evaluable immunogenicity population included subjects who were eligible randomised aged 2 to 6 months of age at the first vaccination, received all 4 randomised vaccines with Dose 4 received within the defined window 12 to 15 months of age, had at least 1 immunogenicity results within 27 to 56 days, inclusive, after Dose 4, and had no other major protocol deviations per clinician. Here, number of subjects analysed=subjects evaluable for this endpoint and n=subjects with valid results for the specified serotype.
