Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentages of Subjects With Serum Bactericidal Activity (hSBA) ≥ 1:5 at 1 Month After Third Vaccination
At baseline (pre-vaccination) and 30 days after the third vaccination.

To assess the immunogenicity of seven different formulations of 4CMenB (groups I-VI and VIII) given to healthy infants at 2,3 and 4 months of age as measured by percentages of subjects with serum bactericidal activity (SBA) titer≥1:5 against 44/76-SL, 5/99 and NZ98/254 reference strains, at 1 month after the third vaccination.. The analysis was done on the Per Protocol Primary Population at one month after third injection.

Number of Subjects With Fever ≥ 38.5 °C (Rectal Temperature) Within 3 Days (Day 1-3) After First Vaccination
Day 1 to day 3 after first vaccination.

To assess if any of six different formulations of vaccine groups (Group II to Group VI, Group VIII) reduced the incidence of fever \>=38.5C (rectal) occurring within three days (day 1-day3) following first vaccination. The analysis was done on the Safety Population.

Secondary Endpoints

Geometric Mean Bactericidal Titers (GMTs), One Month After Third and Booster Vaccination (Men B at 12 Months of Age)
At baseline (pre-vaccination), 30 days after the third vaccination, at booster Baseline and at booster vaccination (12 months of age)
Geometric Mean Bactericidal Titers,One Month After Primary and Booster Vaccination (Men B at 12 Months of Age)
At Baseline (pre-vaccination), at 30 days after the third vaccination, at booster Baseline, at 30 days
