Persistence of Immunogenicity of MenACWY Conjugate Vaccine 5 Years After Childhood Vaccination, and Immune Response to a Booster Dose

Overview

In this extension study, V59P20E1, the sponsor was planning to assess 5-year antibody persistence in subjects who received one or two doses of MenACWY conjugate vaccine at 2 to 10 years of age, and to evaluate response to a booster dose administered 5 years after primary vaccination in the parent study V59P20 (NCT00616421).

Full Title of Study: “A Phase IV, Open-label, Controlled, Multi-center Study to Evaluate the 5-year Antibody Persistence Among Children Who Previously Received Novartis MenACWY Conjugate Vaccine at 2 to 10 Years of Age and to Assess the Immune Response to a Single Dose of Novartis MenACWY Conjugate Vaccine”

    • The antibody response against N.meningitidis serogroups A, C, W and Y, at one month after one injection of Men ACWY-CRM vaccine was administered in the present study to subjects who had received either one or two doses of MenACWY-CRM vaccine 5 years earlier and to age matched naive subjects, is evaluated in terms of the percentages of subjects with hSBA titers ≥1:8.
  • Geometric Mean Titers Against N.Meningitidis Serogroups A, C, W and Y, After Receiving One Injection of MenACWY-CRM Vaccine in the Present Study.
    • Time Frame: Day 28 post-vaccination
