Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to further characterize the safety and immunogenicity of Menactra® in the population <2 years of age when administered alone and when the second dose is administered concomitantly with the 4th dose of Pentacel®, a licensed pediatric vaccine.
Primary Objectives:
- To evaluate and compare the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 induced by 2 injections of Menactra® in subjects aged 9 months at the first vaccination visit and 15 to 18 months at the second vaccination visit.
- To evaluate and compare the antibody responses to Pertussis (pertussis toxoid [PT], filamentous haemagglutinin [FHA] and pertactin [PRN]) antigens induced by a dose of Pentacel® when administered concomitantly with Menactra® to those elicited by a dose of Pentacel® administered alone.
- To evaluate and compare the antibody responses to polyribosylribitol phosphate (PRP), tetanus and diphtheria antigens induced by a dose of Pentacel® when administered concomitantly with Menactra® to those elicited by a dose of Pentacel® alone.
Observational Objectives:
- To describe the safety profile (immediate unsolicited AEs within 30 minutes of each trial vaccination, solicited reactions within 7 days of each vaccination, unsolicited AEs within 30 days of each vaccination, and serious adverse events [SAEs] throughout the course of the trial from Day 0 up to Day 30 after the last trial vaccination[s]) in all trial groups
- To describe the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135, measured by SBA HC, 30 days after the second Menactra® administration
- To describe the antibody responses to Pentacel® (PT, FHA, PRN, FIM, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, PRP) measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), radioimmunoassay (RIA), or functional assays.
Detailed Description
Participants will be vaccinated according to their randomized groups at age 9 months and at age 15 to 18 months. They will undergo immunogenicity assessment and safety monitoring post-vaccination.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Study Participants Achieving Menactra Response for Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 Following the Second Menactra Vaccination
Time Frame: Day 30 post second Menactra vaccination
Titers of antibodies to serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 were measured by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA or SBA-HC). Menactra vaccine response defined as subjects with an hSBA titer \<1:8 at baseline achieving an hSBA titer ≥1:8, and subjects with an hSBA titer ≥1:8 at baseline achieving a ≥ 4-fold increase in hSBA titer.
Geometric Mean Concentrations of Pertussis Vaccine Antibodies Following Vaccination With Either Pentacel Only or Menactra Concomitantly With Pentacel Vaccine
Time Frame: Day 30 post-vaccination 2
Pertussis antibodies, anti-Pertussis toxoid (PT), Filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), Pertactin (PRN) antibodies were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Percentage of Participants With Pertussis Vaccine Responses Following Vaccination With Either Pentacel Only or Menactra Concomitantly With Pentacel Vaccine
Time Frame: Day 30 post-vaccination 2
Pertussis antibodies, anti-Pertussis toxoid (PT), Filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), and Pertactin (PRN) antibodies were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Pertussis response was defined as: ≥4 × baseline concentration, if the anti-pertussis antibody concentration at baseline is \<4 × lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), Or ≥2 × baseline concentration, if the anti-pertussis antibody concentration at baseline is ≥4 × LLOQ
Percentage of Participants With Antibody Responses to Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polyribosylribitol Phosphate Antigens Following Vaccination With Either Pentacel Only or Menactra Concomitantly With Pentacel Vaccine
Time Frame: Day 30 post-vaccination 2
Anti-Tetanus antibodies were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), anti-polyribosylribitol phosphate (PRP) antibodies were measured using a Farr-type radioimmunoassay, and anti-diphtheria antibodies were measured by a toxin neutralization test. The vaccine responses were defined as: Anti-PRP antibody concentrations ≥1.0 μg/mL; Anti-tetanus antibody concentrations ≥1.0 IU/mL and Anti-diphtheria antibody concentrations ≥1.0 IU/mL, respectively, 30 days after vaccination with Pentacel® in participants in Groups 2 and 3.
