E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Immunogenicity:
To assess the immunogenicity following two doses (Day 1 and Day 31) of Novartis rMenB+OMV NZ vaccine and control vaccines in healthy adolescents, as measured by the percentage of subjects with serum bactericidal activity (SBA) titer ≥ 1:4 against indicator strains H44/76, 5/99 and NZ98/254 one month after the second dose (Day 61). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
immunogenicity
-Assess responses post two doses of rMenB+OMV NZ vaccine & control vaccines as measured by SBA geometric mean titers (GMTs) at baseline (Day 1, prior to vaccination) & one month after the second dose (Day 61);& the geometric mean ratio (GMR) of post-vaccination to pre-vaccination (baseline) GMTs
-Assess response after two doses of rMenB+OMV NZ vaccine & control vaccines as measured by the percentage of subjects with a fourfold rise in SBA titers from baseline
-Evaluate response after two doses of rMenB+OMV NZ vaccine and control vaccines as measured by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) geometric mean concentration (GMC); & the GMR of ELISA post-vaccination to pre-vaccination (baseline) GMCs
Safety
- Local & systemic reactions reported from Day 1 to Day 7 postvaccination
- All other adverse events (AEs) reported from Day 1 to Day 7 postvaccination.
- Serious AEs(SAEs), medically attended AEs & AEs leading to premature withdrawal throughout study. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The percentage of subjects with an SBA titer ≥1:4 at baseline (Day 1) and Day 61 for each of the three indicator strains (H44/76, 5/99, and NZ98/254) for both the rMenB+OMV NZ vaccine and control vaccine group. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Immunogenicity Endpoints:
▫ SBA GMTs at each time point and GMRs of post-vaccination to pre-vaccination (baseline) GMTs for each of the three indicator strains (H44/76, 5/99, and NZ98/254) and for each vaccine group.
▫ The percentage of subjects with a fourfold rise in SBA titers from baseline (Day 1) to Day 61 for each of the three indicator strains (H44/76, 5/99, and NZ98/254) and for each vaccine group.
▫ ELISA GMCs at baseline and at Day 61 and GMRs for post-vaccination to prevaccination (baseline) GMCs for vaccine antigen 287-953 in each vaccine group.
Safety Endpoints:
Safety will be measured throughout the entire study period (from Day 1 to Day 61) for each group. Analysis of safety will be presented overall and by injection number. |
