Brief Summary:

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the immunogenicity and describe the safety of a single dose of Meningococcal Polysaccharide (Serogroups A, C, Y and W) Tetanus Toxoid (MenACYW) Conjugate vaccine compared to the licensed Meningococcal polysaccharide groups A, C, W-135 and Y (Nimenrix®) Conjugate vaccine in toddlers 12 to 23 months of age in the European Union (EU). The toddlers were either meningococcal vaccine naïve or had received monovalent meningococcal C (MenC) vaccination during infancy to evaluate any potential impact of the meningococcal vaccine background on the immunogenicity and safety profile of the investigational product.

Primary Objectives:

  • To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody response to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a single dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® in toddlers who either were meningococcal vaccine naïve or had received monovalent MenC vaccination during infancy.
  • To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody response to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a single dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® in meningococcal vaccine naïve toddlers.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To compare the antibody responses (geometric mean titers [GMTs]) to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® as measured by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) in toddlers who either were meningococcal vaccine naïve or had received monovalent MenC vaccination during infancy.
  • To compare the antibody responses (GMTs) to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® as measured by hSBA in meningococcal vaccine naïve toddlers.
  • To compare the antibody responses (GMTs) to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® as measured by hSBA in toddlers who received monovalent MenC vaccination during infancy.

Detailed Description:
Healthy toddlers were randomized depending on their meningococcal priming vaccination background (either meningococcal vaccine naïve or primed with MenC) and received a single dose of either MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix®. They were assessed for immunogenicity at baseline (pre-vaccination) and 30 to 44 days post-vaccination. Safety information were collected post-vaccination and throughout the entire study.

Outcome Measures

    Antibody titers against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W were measured by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA). Data for this outcome measure were planned to be analyzed for the pooled population of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine and Nimenrix® reporting groups.

    Antibody titers against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W were measured by hSBA.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Antibodies Against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W in Toddlers Who Either Were Meningococcal Vaccine Naïve or Had Received Monovalent MenC Vaccination During Infancy [ Time Frame: Day 30 (post-vaccination) ]
    Antibody titers against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W were measured by hSBA.
