Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Subjects With Human Serum Bactericidal Activity (hSBA) Titer ≥ 1:5 Against Neisseria Meningitidis Serogroup B Strains
At Day 1 and at one month after the third vaccination (Day 152)

Percentage of subjects with hSBA titer ≥ 1:5 at 1 month following the third vaccination (at 7 months of age) against the indicator strains H44/76, 5/99, NZ98/254 and strain M10713 when Bexsero® was given concomitantly with routine vaccines (Infanrix-IPV + Hib®, Prevenar-13® and Engerix-B®).

Percentage of Subjects With Human Serum Bactericidal Assay (hSBA) Titer ≥ 1:4 Against Neisseria Meningitidis Serogroup B Strains
At Day 1 and at one month after third vaccination (Day 152)

Percentage of subjects with hSBA titer ≥ 1:4 at 1 month after third vaccination (at 7 months of age) against the indicator strains H44/76, 5/99, NZ98/254 and strain M10713 when Bexsero® was given concomitantly with routine vaccines (Infanrix-IPV + Hib®, Prevenar-13® and Engerix-B®).

Human Serum Bactericidal Assay (hSBA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) Against N. Meningitidis Serogroup B Test Strains When Administered According to 0_2 Month Schedule.
At baseline (Month 0) and 1 month after the last meningococcal vaccination (Month 3)

The non-inferiority of the Meningococcal (groups A, C, W and Y) oligosaccharide diphtheria CRM-197 conjugate combined with meningococcal (group B) multicomponent recombinant (MenABCWY) vaccine to Meningococcal (group B) multicomponent recombinant adsorbed (Bexsero) vaccine, administered according to 0, 2 month schedule, as measured by hSBA GMTs against N.meningitidis serogroup B test strains at 1 month after the last meningococcal vaccination, is reported. The test strains assessed were Meningitis B NZ98/254 Ab, Meningitis B M14459 Ab, Meningitis B M07-0241084 Ab and Meningitis B 96217 Ab. This outcome measure was evaluated in the rMenB\_0\_2 and ABCWY\_ 0\_2 Groups.

Frequently asked questions about Bexsero

What is Bexsero used for?

Bexsero is a meningococcal group B vaccine used to prevent infections caused by Neisseria meningitidis group B, including meningococcal disease. It is being studied for use in infants, children, and adolescents to protect against invasive meningococcal infections.

Who makes Bexsero?

Bexsero is developed by GSK plc, a global biopharma company listed on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker GSK. The vaccine is part of GSK's portfolio of infectious disease products.

What phase is Bexsero in?

Bexsero is in clinical development, with completed trials in Phase 2 and Phase 3. It is not yet approved for use in all markets, and ongoing studies continue to evaluate its safety and immunogenicity in different age groups.

What clinical trials is Bexsero in?

Bexsero has been studied in two completed trials: NCT02173704, a Phase 3 study in infants in Taiwan, and NCT02212457, a Phase 2 study in adolescents in the United States, Finland, and Poland. Both trials assessed safety and immunogenicity.

Is Bexsero the same as the meningococcal ABCWY vaccine?

No, Bexsero is a meningococcal B vaccine, while the meningococcal ABCWY vaccine is a separate combination vaccine. In a Phase 2 trial, the ABCWY vaccine was compared to Bexsero to assess immunogenicity and safety in adolescents.
