Study on a Quadrivalent Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine (MenACYW Conjugate Vaccine) Compared to Two Meningococcal Reference Vaccines in European Toddlers

Denmark, Finland, Germany707 participantsStarted 2019-09-12

Plain-language summary

Primary Objective: To demonstrate: * the non-inferiority of the seroprotection rate (antibody titers greater than or equal to \[\>=\] 1:8) to meningococcal serogroup C following the administration of MenACYW Conjugate or Nimenrix® as measured by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA). If this non-inferiority was demonstrated, then * the non-inferiority of the antibody response (geometric mean titers \[GMT\]). If this non-inferiority was demonstrated, then * the superiority of the antibody response (GMT). If this superiority was demonstrated, then * the superiority of the seroprotection rate. Or to demonstrate: * the non-inferiority of the seroprotection rate (antibody titers \>= 1:8) to meningococcal serogroup C following the administration of MenACYW Conjugate or NeisVac-C® as measured by serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (rSBA). If this non-inferiority was demonstrated, then * the non-inferiority of the antibody response (GMT). If this non-inferiority was demonstrated, then * the superiority of the antibody response (GMT). Secondary Objective: To demonstrate: * the non-inferiority of the seroprotection rate (antibody titers \>= 1:8) to meningococcal serogroup C following the administration of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® as measured by rSBA. If this non-inferiority was demonstrated, then * the non-inferiority of the antibody response (GMT). If this non-inferiority was demonstrated, then * the superiority of the antibody response (GMT). Or to demonstrate: * the non-inferiority of the seroprotection rate (antibody titers \>= 1:8) to meningococcal serogroup C following the administration of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or NeisVac-C® as measured by hSBA. If this non-inferiority was demonstrated, then * the non-inferiority of the antibody response (GMT). If this non-inferiority was demonstrated, then * the superiority of the antibody response (GMT) .

Inclusion criteria : * Aged 12 to 23 months on the day of the first study visit ("12 to 23 months" means from the 12th month after birth to the day before the 24th month after birth). * Informed consent form (ICF) had been signed and dated by the parent(s)/legally acceptable representative(s) and by an independent witness if required by local regulations. * Participant and parent/legally acceptable representative were able to attend all scheduled visits and complied with all trial procedures. Exclusion criteria: * Participation in the 4 weeks (28 days) preceding the study vaccination or planned participation during the present study period in another clinical study investigating a vaccine, drug, medical device, or medical procedure. * Receipt of any vaccine in the 4 weeks (28 days) preceding the trial vaccination or planned receipt of any vaccine prior to Visit 2 except for influenza vaccination, which might be received at least 2 weeks before or after study vaccines. This exception included monovalent pandemic influenza vaccines and multivalent influenza vaccines. * Receipt of immune globulins, blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months. * Previous vaccination against meningococcal disease with either the trial vaccine or another vaccine (i.e., mono- or polyvalent, polysaccharide, or Conjugate meningococcal vaccine containing serogroups A, C, W, or Y; or meningococcal B vaccine). * Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of immunos…

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
