About this study

Subjects were previously vaccinated at 11 to 17 months of age with GSK Biologicals' meningococcal vaccine 134612 or with Mencevax™. This extension phase starts 24 months after vaccination and the subjects who were vaccinated in the primary study will be enrolled in this extension phase. No new studies will be enrolled. The subjects will have 4 blood samples taken: at 24, 36, 48 and 60 months after vaccination.

Inclusion criteria

  • Subjects who the investigator believes that they and/or their parent(s)/guardian(s) can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol should be enrolled in the study.
  • A male or female having been vaccinated with a meningococcal vaccine in the primary study 109069.

  • Healthy subjects as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.

Exclusion criteria

  • Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) within 30 days preceding the subject's first visit.
  • History of meningococcal disease; such cases will be documented.
  • Administration of a meningococcal polysaccharide or a meningococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine since previous vaccination in study 109069.
  • Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history.
  • Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the three months preceding the subject's first visit.
  • Bleeding disorders, such as thrombocytopenia, or subjects on anti-coagulant therapy
  • Subjects who withdrew consent to be contacted for follow-up studies.

Treatment and study plan

blood sampling

Procedure

A blood sample will be taken yearly at each long-term follow-up visit (i.e. Year 2 through Year 5) after vaccination during the primary study. No vaccines are administered in the long-term follow-up study

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Seroprotected Subjects Against the Vaccine Meningococcal Serogroups

    Time frame: At Month 24 post primary dose

    A seroprotected subject was defined as a subject who had anti-meningococcal serogroups A (MenA), C (MenC), W-135 (MenW-135) and Y (MenY) antibody titers equal to or above (≥) the cut-off value of 1:8. The persistence of serum bactericidal antibodies was evaluated using baby rabbit complement (rSBA) titers. The blood analyses were performed at the GSK Biologicals' laboratory.

  2. Number of Seroprotected Subjects Against the Vaccine Meningococcal Serogroups

    Time frame: At Month 36 post primary dose

    A seroprotected subject was defined as a subject who had anti-meningococcal serogroups A (MenA), C (MenC), W-135 (MenW-135) and Y (MenY) antibody titers equal to or above (≥) the cut-off value of 1:8. The persistence of serum bactericidal antibodies was evaluated using baby rabbit complement (rSBA) titers. The blood analyses for this timepoint were performed solely at the Public Health of England's (PHE) laboratory.

  3. Number of Seroprotected Subjects Against the Vaccine Meningococcal Serogroups

    Time frame: At Month 48 post primary dose

    A seroprotected subject was defined as a subject who had anti-meningococcal serogroups A (MenA), C (MenC), W-135 (MenW-135) and Y (MenY) antibody titers equal to or above (≥) the cut-off value of 1:8. The persistence of serum bactericidal antibodies was evaluated using baby rabbit complement (rSBA) titers. The blood analyses for this timepoint were performed solely at the Public Health of England's (PHE) laboratory.

  4. Number of Seroprotected Subjects Against the Vaccine Meningococcal Serogroups

    Time frame: At Month 60 post primary dose

    A seroprotected subject was defined as a subject who had anti-meningococcal serogroups A (MenA), C (MenC), W-135 (MenW-135) and Y (MenY) antibody titers equal to or above (≥) the cut-off value of 1:8. The persistence of serum bactericidal antibodies was evaluated using baby rabbit complement (rSBA) titers. The blood analyses for this timepoint were performed solely at the Public Health of England's (PHE) laboratory.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Seropositive Subjects Against the Vaccine Meningococcal Serogroups

    Time frame: At Months 24, 36, 48 and 60 post primary dose

    A seropositive subject was defined as a subject who had the anti-meningococcal serogroups A (MenA), C (MenC), W-135 (MenW-135) and Y (MenY) antibody titers equal to or above (≥) the cut-off value of 1:128. The persistence of serum bactericidal antibodies was evaluated using baby rabbit complement (rSBA) titers. The blood analyses were performed at the Public Health of England's (PHE) laboratory and at GSK Biologicals' laboratory.

  2. Antibody Titers Against the Vaccine Meningococcal Serogroups

    Time frame: At Months 24, 36, 48 and 60 post primary dose

    Seropositivity status was defined as the anti-meningococcal serogroups A (MenA), C (MenC), W-135 (MenW-135) and Y (MenY) titers equal to or above the cut-off value of 1:128. Antibody titers were presented as geometric mean titers (GMTs). The blood analyses were performed at the Public Health of England's (PHE) laboratory and at GSK Biologicals' laboratory.

  3. Number of Subjects With Antibody Concentrations Against the Vaccine Polysaccharides

    Time frame: At Month 24 post primary dose

    Antibody concentrations against polysaccharide A (anti-PSA), polysaccharide C (anti-PSC), polysaccharide W-135 (anti-PSW-135) and polysaccharide Y (anti-PSY) assessed were equal to or above (≥) the cut-off values of 0.3 micrograms/milliliter (µg/mL ) and 2.0 micrograms/milliliter (µg/mL). Concentration of antibodies was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

  4. Antibody Concentrations Against the Vaccine Polysaccharides

    Time frame: At Month 24 post primary dose

    Antibody concentrations against polysaccharide A (anti-PSA), polysaccharide C (anti-PSC), polysaccharide W-135 (anti-PSW-135) and polysaccharide Y (anti-PSY) assessed were equal to or above (≥) the cut-off values of 0.3 micrograms/milliliter (µg/mL ) and 2.0 micrograms/milliliter (µg/mL). Concentration of antibodies was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
