About this study

Official title: Population-based Incidence of Myopericarditis After Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) COVID-19 Vaccination in Danish Children 5-11 Years Old

Myopericarditis is a rare complication to messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccines, especially in male adolescents and young adults. The risk in children 5-11 years old is unknown. In Denmark, the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 vaccination was recommended from December 1, 2021 in individuals aged 5-11 years old. We aim to estimate the incidence of myopericarditis in children 5-11 years old after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination among vaccinated individuals based on a nationwide prospective population-based cohort study with detailed clinical phenotyping.

Read the detailed description

AIM The project seeks to estimate the incidence of myopericarditis in children 5-11 years old after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.

HYPOTHESIS The incidence of myopericarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination in children 5-11 years old is significantly lower than the incidence in adolescents.

METHOD Prospective nationwide population-based cohort study of all individuals aged 5-11 years hospitalized due to myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in the period December 1, 2021 to February 1, 2022. The setting is a multicenter study including all 18 Danish Pediatric Departments, providing 24 hours emergency service, and in- and out-patient treatment for all Danish inhabitants aged ≤ 17 years. As part of a pediatric nationwide COVID-19 research set-up, all 18 departments have a principal investigator responsible for prospective real-time data collection of vaccine-associated disease.

To calculate the incidence of myopericarditis among Danish individuals 5-11 years old, the number of individuals who have been mRNA COVID-19 vaccinated will be attained from the National COVID-19-vaccine Database at the Statens Serum Institut.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myopericarditis and Myocarditis, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ulrikka Nygaard, PhD MD (+45 40794656, Ulrikka@dadlnet.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Myopericarditis (time frame: Within 42 days after the first vaccine dose). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05186571, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Jan 2022.
