Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Subjects With Vaccine Response for Serum Bactericidal Assay Using Rabbit Complement Against Neisseria Meningitides Serogroups A, C, W-135, Y (rSBA-MenA, rSBA-MenC, rSBA-MenW-135 and rSBA-MenY) Antibodies
At Month 1

Vaccine response defined as: for initially seronegative subjects, antibody titer greater than or equal to (≥) 1:32 and for initially seropositive subjects: antibody titer ≥ 4 fold the pre-vaccination antibody titer. The analysis was performed with the GSK rSBA assay.

rSBA-MenA, rSBA-MenC, rSBA-MenW-135 and rSBA-MenY Titers
At Month 1

Titers are presented as geometric mean titers (GMTs). All subjects underwent testing with the GSK rSBA assay for all 4 serogroups.

Number of Subjects With Serum Bactericidal Assay Using Rabbit Complement Against Neisseria Meningitides Serogroups A, C, W-135, Y (rSBA-MenA, rSBA-MenC, rSBA-MenW-135 and rSBA-MenY) Antibodies Vaccine Response
One Month after vaccination

Vaccine response was defined as: * for initially seronegative subjects, post vaccination rSBA titer ≥ 1:32 * for initially seropositive subjects, at least 4-fold increase in rSBA titer from pre to post vaccination.

Number of Subjects With rSBA Antibody Titers Greater Than or Equal to the Cut-off Value
Prior to (PRE) vaccination

The cut-off value for the rSBA titers was greater than or equal to (≥) 1:8. This analysis was performed by the GSK Biologicals' laboratory.

Percentage of Subjects With rSBA Antibody Titers Greater Than or Equal to the Cut-off Value
Prior to (PRE) to vaccination

The cut-off value for the rSBA titers was greater than or equal to (≥) 1:8. This analysis was performed by the GSK Biologicals' laboratory.
