Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Subjects With hSBA Seroresponse Against Serogroups A, C, W and Y One Month After Vaccination With MenACWY-CRM or MenACWY-PS
1 month after vaccination (day 29)

Immunogenicity was measured as the percentage of subjects with hSBA seroresponse, directed against each of meningococcal serogroups A, C, W and Y, evaluated by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA), one month after vaccination (day 29)with MenACWY-CRM or MenACWY-PS vaccine. Seroresponse was defined as: 1. for subjects with a prevaccination hSBA titer \<1:4, a postvaccination hSBA titer ≥1:8; 2. for subjects with a prevaccination hSBA titer ≥1:4, an increase in hSBA titer of at least four times the prevaccination titer.

Number of Subjects With At Least One Severe Systemic Reaction to MenACWY-CRM or MenACWY-PS Within 7 Days Postvaccination
Day 1 to 7 postvaccination

Safety was assessed in terms of the number of subjects who reported at least one severe systemic reaction after vaccination with MenACWY-CRM or MenACWY-PS from day 1 to day 7 after vaccination.

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
Meningococcal ACWY-CRM conjugate vaccineBIOLOGICALMenACWY-CRM vaccine was obtained by extemporaneous mixing of the lyophilized MenA component to be resuspended with the liquid MenCWY component. One dose (0.5 mL) was administered by IM injection in the deltoid area of the arm without a BCG scar.
Meningococcal ACWY-PS polysaccharide vaccineBIOLOGICALMenACWY-PS vaccine was supplied as a single dose (one vial of vaccine and one vial of diluent). One dose (0.5 mL) of MenACWY-PS vaccine was administered by SC injection in the deltoid area of the arm without a BCG scar.

Frequently asked questions about Meningococcal ACWY-CRM conjugate vaccine

What is Meningococcal ACWY-CRM conjugate vaccine used for?

Meningococcal ACWY-CRM conjugate vaccine is used for the prevention of meningococcal disease, a serious bacterial infection caused by Neisseria meningitidis. It is designed to protect against serogroups A, C, W, and Y. The vaccine is currently being investigated in a Phase 3 clinical trial for use in children aged 2 to 10 years.

Who makes Meningococcal ACWY-CRM conjugate vaccine?

Meningococcal ACWY-CRM conjugate vaccine is being developed by Novartis AG, a multinational pharmaceutical company. Novartis is listed on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol NVS. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the vaccine's safety and immunogenicity in pediatric populations.

What phase is Meningococcal ACWY-CRM conjugate vaccine in?

Meningococcal ACWY-CRM conjugate vaccine is currently in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational vaccine, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 3 trial is designed to assess the vaccine's safety and immunogenicity compared to a polysaccharide vaccine in children.

What clinical trials is Meningococcal ACWY-CRM conjugate vaccine in?

Meningococcal ACWY-CRM conjugate vaccine has one completed Phase 3 clinical trial registered under NCT00329849. This trial, titled 'Safety and Immunogenicity of Meningococcal ACWY Conjugate Versus Polysaccharide Vaccine in Children 2 to 10 Years of Age,' enrolled 1,500 participants in Argentina. The study was active-controlled and included healthy volunteers aged 2 years and older.

Is Meningococcal ACWY-CRM conjugate vaccine the same as a polysaccharide vaccine?

No, Meningococcal ACWY-CRM conjugate vaccine is not the same as a polysaccharide vaccine. The conjugate vaccine is linked to a carrier protein, which typically enhances the immune response, particularly in young children. In the Phase 3 trial, the conjugate vaccine was compared against a polysaccharide vaccine to evaluate its safety and immunogenicity.
