Official Title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Observer-blind, Multi-Center Study to Compare the Safety and Immunogenicity of One Dose of Novartis Meningococcal ACWY Conjugate Vaccine With One Dose of Licensed Meningococcal

Brief Summary: To evaluate the safety and immune response of Novartis MenACWY conjugate vaccine when given to healthy children compared to a licensed Meningococcal ACWY polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccine.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Novartis Vaccines

Current Primary Outcome:

  • Percentages of Subjects With hSBA Seroresponse, in Healthy Children 2 to 5 Years of Age [ Time Frame: 1 month postvaccination ]

    The immunogenicity of a single dose of MenACWY-CRM is compared with the immunogenicity of a single dose of the licensed ACWY polysaccharide vaccine, in terms of the percentages of subjects with seroresponse directed against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.

    Seroresponse: For a subject with hSBA <1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA ≥ 1:8; for a subject with hSBA ≥ 1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA titer of at least 4 times the baseline.

  • Percentages of Subjects With hSBA Seroresponse, in Healthy Children 6 to 10 Years of Age. [ Time Frame: 1 month postvaccination ]

    The immunogenicity of a single dose of MenACWY-CRM is compared with the immunogenicity of a single dose of the licensed ACWY polysaccharide vaccine, in terms of the percenatages of subjects with seroresponse directed against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.

    Seroresponse: For a subject with hSBA <1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA ≥ 1:8; for a subject with hSBA ≥ 1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA titer of at least 4 times the baseline.



Original Primary Outcome: To evaluate safety and immune response across groups at pre-defined time points [ Time Frame: 1 month ]

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Percentages of Subjects With hSBA Seroresponse, in Healthy Children 2 to 10 Years of Age. [ Time Frame: 1 month postvaccination ]

    Seroresponse: For a subject with hSBA <1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA ≥ 1:8; for a subject with hSBA ≥ 1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA titer of at least 4 times the baseline.

  • Percentages of Subjects With hSBA ≥ 1:8, in Healthy Children 2 to 10 Years of Age [ Time Frame: 1 month postvaccination ]

    The immunogenicity of a single dose of MenACWY-CRM is compared with the immunogenicity of a single dose of the licensed ACWY polysaccharide vaccine, in terms of the percentages of subjects with seroresponse directed against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.

    Seroresponse: For a subject with hSBA <1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA ≥ 1:8; for a subject with hSBA ≥ 1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA titer of at least 4 times the baseline.

  • Geometric Mean Titers (hSBA), in Healthy Children 2 to 10 Years of Age. [ Time Frame: 1 month postvaccination ]
    The immunogenicity of a single dose of MenACWY-CRM is compared with the immunogenicity of a single dose of the licensed ACWY polysaccharide vaccine, in terms of the number of subjects with hSBA (human Serum Bactericidal Activity) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) response against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.
  • Percentages of Subjects With hSBA ≥ 1:8, in Healthy Children 2 to 5 and 6 to 10 Years of Age. [ Time Frame: 1 month postvaccination ]
    The immunogenicity of a single dose of MenACWY-CRM is compared with the immunogenicity of a single dose of the licensed ACWY polysaccharide vaccine, in terms of the percenategs of subjects with seroresponse directed against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.
  • Geometric Mean Titers (hSBA), in Healthy Children 2 to 5 and 6 to 10 Years of Age. [ Time Frame: 1 month postvaccination ]
    The immunogenicity of a single dose of the Novartis MenACWY-CRM is compared with the immunogenicity of a single dose of the licensed ACWY polysaccharide vaccine, in terms of the number of subjects with hSBA (human Serum Bacterial Activity) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) response against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.
  • Percentages of Subjects With hSBA Seroresponse, in Healthy Children 2 to 5 Years of Age (2 Doses vs 1 Dose) [ Time Frame: 1 month postvaccination ]

    The immunogenicity of two doses of the Novartis MenACWY-CRM, administered 2 months apart, is compared with the immunogenicity of a single dose of the Novartis MenACWY-CRM, directed against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.

    Seroresponse: For a subject with hSBA <1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA ≥ 1:8; for a subject with hSBA ≥ 1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA titer of at least 4 times the baseline.

  • Percentages of Subjects With hSBA ≥ 1:8, in Healthy Children 2 to 5 Years of Age (2 Doses v/s 1 Dose) [ Time Frame: 1 month postvaccination ]

    The immunogenicity of two doses of the Novartis MenACWY-CRM, administered 2 months apart, is compared with the immunogenicity of a single dose of the Novartis MenACWY-CRM, directed against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.

    Seroresponse: For a subject with hSBA <1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA ≥ 1:8; for a subject with hSBA ≥ 1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA titer of at least 4 times the baseline.

  • GMTs (hSBA) in Healthy Children 2 to 5 Years of Age (2 Doses v/s 1 Dose) [ Time Frame: 1 month postvaccination ]

    The immunogenicity of two doses of the Novartis MenACWY-CRM vaccine, administered 2 months apart, is compared with the immunogenicity of a single dose of the Novartis MenACWY-CRM vaccine, in terms of hSBA (human Serum Bactericidal Activity) GMTs (Geometric Mean Titers) against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.

    ANOVA model used for the analysis of this outcome is different compare to ANOVA model used for the other outcome. The computed model components vary according to the variance observed due to the different datasets.
