2 10 Challenges in comparative phase 2 clinical trials with universal flu vaccines Working package 6: Clinical Trial program 6/21/ Coordinator: prof. dr. Eelko Hak (e.hak@rug.nl) This project has received funding from the European Union s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement no

3 CHALLENGE 1. Legal & Procedural aspects of clinical trials Order and define clinical trial elements: Objectives; Protocol: study design allows for comparisons; Regulatory/ethical approval; Implementation of protocol (SOPs); Informed consent procedure; Administration of vaccine and collection of data; Compilation of data, analysis and interpretation; Report writing.

4 Trade-offs of trial objectives - Clinical efficacy against flu risks underpowered trial; - High dose of vaccine risks AEs; - Adjuvants stimulate immune response. Trial Data -Prime-Boost strategies risks no registration as universal flu vaccine; -Low dose vaccines risks ineffectiveness; - Adjuvants risk AEs.
