Assessing the Effectiveness, Immunogenicity and Safety of Meningococcal ABCWY Vaccine Administered to Healthy Adolescents

The effectiveness of three doses of MenABCWY vaccine when compared to one dose of MenACWY vaccine against a panel of US N. meningitidis serogroup B invasive disease strains at 1 month after the 3-dose vaccination series was evaluated in terms of: the combined percentage of subjects without bactericidal activity at 1:4 dilution using the human Serum Bactericidal Assay (hSBA) against each strain in MenABCWY group and MenACWY group. The data provided is an average of the percentage of subjects without bactericidal activity at 1:4 dilution across all 110 strains.

An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.

The number of subjects reporting any SAEs, medically-attended AEs and AEs leading to premature withdrawal during the entire study period is reported. SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life-threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity. MAEs were defined as events for which the subject received medical attention defined as hospitalization, an emergency room visit, or a visit to or from medical personnel (medical doctor) for any reason. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensitygrade or relation to vaccination.
