General comment | In addition to the published article, the supplementary materials and prospective trial registry were used in data extraction and risk of bias assessment. The protocol was not available at the time of data extraction. The study reported on 3 different concentrations using a schedule of 3 doses with 28 days interval in children and adolescents in phase 1 and 2 trials combined, but split by age group (3-5 years, 6-12 years, 13-17 years). Trialists indicated that a 2-dose schedule with 21 days interval between doses using 4 mcg will be used in a phase 3 immunobridging trial in children and adolescents. Immunogenicity results were extracted only for the group aged 13-17 years since overall results were not reported (aggregated). Serious adverse events were pre-specified in the registry but were not reported. There were no other important differences between registry and published report in population, procedures, or interventions. The target sample size specified in the registry was achieved. |
