Study on immunogenicity and safety of a meningococcal ACYW conjugate vaccine in healthy infants and toddlers
EU CTIS ID: 2023-508177-85-00
What this study is testing
- To demonstrate non-inferiority of the antibody response in terms of geometric mean titers (GMTs) against meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y, following the administration of a 2-dose series (1+1) of MenACYW conjugate vaccine compared to a 2 - dose series (1+1) of Nimenrix®, when each vaccine is administered to infants (dose 1) at 6-7 months of age and toddlers (dose 2) at 12-13 months of age - To demonstrate non inferiority of the antibody response in terms of vaccine seroresponse against meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y, following the administration of a 2-dose series (1+1) of MenACYW conjugate vaccine compared to a 2-dose series (1+1) of Nimenrix®, when each vaccine is administered to infants (Dose 1) at 6-7 months of age and toddlers (Dose 2) at 12-13 months of age
- Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III)

- Moderate or severe acute illness/infection (according to investigator judgment) or febrile illness (temperature ≥ 38.0°C [≥ 100.4°F]) on the day of study intervention administration. A prospective participant should not be included in the study until the condition has resolved or the febrile event has subsided
- Receipt of any vaccine (including COVID-19) and Meningococcal B vaccines) in the 4 weeks preceding the first and second study intervention administration or planned receipt of any vaccine (including COVID-19 and Meningococcal B vaccines) in the 4 weeks following any study intervention administration except for influenza vaccination, which may be received at least 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after the study interventions. This exception includes monovalent pandemic influenza vaccines and multivalent influenza vaccines.
- Previous vaccination against meningococcal A, C, W, or Y disease with either the trial vaccine or another vaccine (i.e., mono- or quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine) containing serogroups A, C, Y, or W.
