Male and female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception throughout Stage 1 (through the follow-up telephone contact at Month 12), and from Visit 10 (booster vaccination) to Visit 11. A subject is of childbearing potential if, in the opinion of the investigator, he/she is biologically capable of having children and is sexually active.

|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Subjects with any of the following characteristics/conditions will not be included in the study:

6. Bleeding diathesis or condition associated with prolonged bleeding time that would contraindicate intramuscular injection.
7. A known or suspected defect of the immune system that would prevent an immune response to the vaccine, such as subjects with congenital or acquired defects in B-cell function, those receiving chronic systemic (oral, intravenous, or intramuscular) corticosteroid therapy, or those receiving immunosuppressive therapy. Subjects in the United States with terminal complement deficiency are
excluded from participation in this study. Please refer to the study reference manual (SRM) for additional details.
8. History of microbiologically proven disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

14. Other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation or behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study.
15. Investigator site staff members directly involved in the conduct of the study and their embers, site staff members otherwise supervised by the investigator, or subjects who are Pfizer employees, including their family members, directly involved in the conduct of the study.
16. Pregnant female subjects; breastfeeding female subjects; fertile male subjects and female subjects of childbearing potential who are unwilling or unable to use a highly effective method of contraception as outlined in the Protocol Section 4.5. |

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
End of trial in a Member State of the EU is defined as the time at which it is deemed that a sufficient number of subjects have been recruited and completed the study as stated in the regulatory application (ie, clinical trial application [CTA]) and ethics application in the Member State. Poor recruitment (recruiting less than the anticipated number in the CTA) by a Member State is not a reason for premature termination but is considered a normal conclusion to the study in that Member State.
