E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the persistence of bactericidal antibodies in subjects who previously received 2 or 3 doses of MenABCWY (administered according to 0, 2-, 0, 6- & 0, 2, 6-month [mth] schedules) or 2 doses of rMenB+OMV (given at a 0, 2-mth schedule), 24 mths after the last meningococcal vaccination in study V102_15 compared with baseline antibody levels in meningococcal naive subjects at enrolment, as measured by percentages of subjects with HT-hSBA titers ≥ lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) and HT-hSBA geometric mean titers (GMTs) against N. meningitidis test strains for serogroup B, and serogroups A, C, W, and Y. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Immunogenicity:
• To assess the immune response at Day 31 after a booster dose of the MenABCWY vaccine or rMenB+OMV 24 months after last vaccination in study V102_15 compared with the immune response at Day 31 after a single dose of MenABCWY or rMenB+OMV in naive subjects.
Safety:
• To evaluate safety and reactogenicity of a booster dose (24 mths after last meningococcal vaccination in study V102_15), of MenABCWY in subjects who previously received 2 or 3 doses of MenABCWY or 2 doses of rMenB+OMV, and after a first dose of MenABCWY or rMenB+OMV in naïve subjects.
• To evaluate safety and reactogenicity of 2 doses of MenABCWY or rMenB+OMV in naive subjects.
