Study to Evaluate the Immune Response After a Booster Dose of a Quadrivalent Meningococcal (MenACYW) Conjugate Vaccine When Administered Alone or Concomitantly With a Licensed Meningococcal Serogroup B Vaccine, in Participants Who Received Primary Quadrivalent Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine (MCV4)

Overview

Primary Objective: To demonstrate the vaccine seroresponse sufficiency of meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of a booster dose of meningococcal Polysaccharide (Serogroups A, C, Y and W) Tetanus Toxoid (MenACYW) Conjugate vaccine: – In Group 1 participants who were first vaccinated with 1 dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine 3-6 years before the booster dose. – In Group 2 participants who were first vaccinated with 1 dose of Menveo vaccine (meningococcal [Groups A, C, Y and W135] Oligosaccharide Diphtheria CRM197 Conjugate vaccine) 3-6 years before the booster dose. Secondary Objective: To describe: – The vaccine seroresponse, seroprotection (serum bactericidal assay using human complement [hSBA] titer greater than or equal to [>=]1:8), and antibody responses (geometric mean titers [GMTs]) of meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W measured using hSBA in serum specimens collected 6 days (±1 day) after vaccination in a subset of 50 participants per group (Groups 1 and 2). – The vaccine seroresponse, seroprotection (hSBA titer >=1:8), and antibody responses (GMTs) to serogroups A, C, Y, and W measured using hSBA on Day (D)0 (pre-vaccination) and D30 (+14 days) after vaccination with MenACYW Conjugate vaccine alone (Groups 1 and 2). – The antibody persistence (GMTs and vaccine seroprotection; hSBA titer >=1:8) of meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W before a booster dose in participants who received either MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Menveo vaccine 3-6 years earlier. – The antibody persistence (GMTs and vaccine seroprotection; hSBA titer >=1:8) of meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W in participants who received either a single dose MenACYW Conjugate vaccine (participants randomized to MET59 Groups 1, 3, and 4) or Menveo vaccine (participants assigned to MET59 Group 2), as part of study MET50, or MET43 (participants randomized to MET59 Groups 1, 3 and 4). – To describe the vaccine seroresponse, seroprotection (hSBA titer >=1:8), and antibody responses (GMTs) to the antigens present in MenACYW Conjugate vaccine, when MenACYW Conjugate vaccine was given concomitantly with meningococcal serogroup B (MenB) vaccine (Groups 3 and 4), compared to those when it was given alone (Group 1).
