Evaluation of Antibody Persistence Following 4 MenACWY Vaccinations

This is Phase IV, Open label, Multicenter study. Subject's parents and/or legal guardian will be provided information about the trial. If interested and if eligible, they will then be asked to provide signed informed consent. The initial study visit can occur immediately after signed informed consent has been obtained. Approximately 135 subjects will be enrolled to receive 4 doses of intramuscular MenACWY vaccine at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months of age.

Treatment and study plan

MenACWY

Biological

Four Intramuscular doses of MenACWY vaccine at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months of age followed by two blood samples at 13 and 24 months of age.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Subjects With Any Solicited Adverse Events (AEs) Within 30 Minutes After Each Vaccination.

    Time frame: Within 30 minutes of each vaccination

    Solicited signs and symptoms occurring within 30 minutes following each vaccination, include solicited local events (e.g. injection site erythema, induration and tenderness -threshold for Erythema and Induration: Type II- None [<10mm], Any[>=10 mm]), solicited systemic events (e.g. change in eating habits, sleepiness, irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, fever[ body temperature >=38°C measured preferably via tympanic route]), and any other solicited event like use of analgesic/antipyretics for treatment or for prophylaxis

  2. Number of Subjects With Any Solicited Local AEs From Day 1 to Day 7 After Each Vaccination

    Time frame: From Day 1 to Day 7 after each vaccination

    Solicited local AEs reported from day 1 to day 7 after each vaccination were assessed. Assessed local symptoms include injection site erythema, injection site induration and injection site tenderness. Any = incidence of a particular symptom regardless of intensity grade.Threshold for Erythema and Induration: Type II None (<10 mm), Any (>=10 mm)

  3. Number of Subjects With Any Solicited Systemic AEs From Day 1 to Day 7 After Each Vaccination.

    Time frame: From Day 1 to Day 7 after each vaccination

    Solicited systemic AEs reported from day 1 to day 7 after each vaccination were assessed. Assessed systemic symptoms include change in eating habits, sleepiness, irritability, vomiting, diarrhea and fever (body temperature ≥ 38°C (100.4°F)).

  4. Number of Subjects With Any Medically Attended Unsolicited AEs and AEs Leading to Premature Withdrawal

    Time frame: From Day 1 to Visit 6 (at 24 Months of age)

    An unsolicited adverse event is an adverse event that was not solicited using a Subject Diary and that was spontaneously communicated by a subject parent(s)/legal guardian(s)] who has signed the informed consent. All medically attended unsolicited AEs were collected from Day 1 to Visit 6.

  5. Number of Subjects With Serious AEs (SAEs)

    Time frame: From Day 1 to Visit 6 (At 24 months of age)

    Subjects reporting SAEs from day 1 to visit 6 (at 24 months of age) were assessed. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in one or more of the following: death, is life-threatening, required or prolonged hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/or birth defect, An important and significant medical event that may not be immediately life threatening or resulting in death or hospitalization but, based upon appropriate medical judgment, may jeopardize the subject or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed above.
