Not Applicable
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Meningococcal Infection
Healthy Volunteers
Interventions
Biological: MenAC conjugate vaccine
Registration Number
NCT07135986
Lead Sponsor
Sanofi
Brief Summary

This is a Phase 3, modified double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, active-controlled, multicenter study with 2 arms and 4 groups to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of MenACYW conjugate vaccine in children and adolescents versus control meningococcal vaccines licensed in China.

Study details include:

* The study duration will be approximately 180 days.

* The vaccination visit will be Visit 1.

* The visit frequency will be 2 on-site visits with a 30-day interval. A safety visit/telephone call is planned on the ninth day after the vaccination for all groups; a safety follow-up telephone call is planned for all groups 180 days post the last vaccination.

Detailed Description

The duration of each participant's participation will be approximately 180 days.

Inclusion Criteria
  • For Cohort I: Aged 7 to 17 years on the day of inclusion ("7 to 17 years" means from the day of the 7th birthday to the day before the 18th birthday.). For Cohort II: Aged 2 to 6 years on the day of inclusion (2 to 6 years" means from the day of the 2nd birthday to the day before the 7th birthday.)
  • Participants who are healthy as determined by medical evaluation including medical history and physical examination.
  • A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding
Exclusion Criteria

Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:

  • Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy; or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy
  • History of meningococcal infection
  • History of any neurologic disorders
  • History of Guillain-Barré syndrome
  • History of an Arthus-type hypersensitivity reaction after a previous dose of tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine
  • At high risk for meningococcal infection during the trial
  • Known systemic hypersensitivity to any of the vaccine components
  • Self-reported thrombocytopenia, contraindicating intramuscular vaccination.
  • Bleeding disorder, or receipt of anticoagulants in the 3 weeks preceding inclusion, contraindicating intramuscular vaccination.
  • Chronic illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, is at a stage where it might interfere with trial conduct or completion.
  • Moderate or severe acute illness/infection
  • Alcohol, prescription drug, or substance abuse that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might interfere with the study conduct or completion.
  • Receipt of any vaccine in the 4 weeks preceding the trial vaccination or planned receipt of any vaccine in the 4 weeks following trial vaccination.
  • The time since last vaccination of meningococcal vaccine was 2 years or less.
  • Receipt of immune globulins, blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months.
  • Receipt of oral or injectable antibiotic therapy within 72 hours prior to the first blood draw.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Participants 7 through 17 years of age (Cohort I): Vaccine seroresponse to meningococcal serogroups A and CDay 01 (pre-vaccination) and Day 31 (post- vaccination)

30 days postvaccination rSBA titer ≥1:8 for participants with prevaccination rSBA titer \<1:8, or At least 4-fold increase in rSBA titer from pre- to 30 days postvaccination for participants with pre vaccination rSBA titer ≥1:8

Participants 2 through 6 years of age (Cohort II): Vaccine seroresponse to meningococcal serogroups A and CDay 01 (pre-vaccination) and Day 31 (post- vaccination)

30 days postvaccination rSBA titer ≥1:8 for participants with prevaccination rSBA titer \<1:8, or At least 4-fold increase in rSBA titer from pre- to 30 days postvaccination for participants with pre vaccination rSBA titer ≥1:8

Participants 7 through 17 years of age (Cohort I): Geometric mean titers (GMTs) of antibodies against meningococcal serogroups A and CDay 31 (post- vaccination)

Antibodies titers are expressed as geometric mean titers

Participants 2 through 6 years of age (Cohort II): Vaccine seroresponse to meningococcal serogroups W and Y in participants receiving MenACYW conjugate vaccineDay 01 (pre-vaccination) and Day 31 (post- vaccination)

30 days post-vaccination rSBA titer ≥1:8 for participants with pre-vaccination rSBA titer \<1:8, or At least 4-fold increase in rSBA titer from pre- to 30◦days post-vaccination for participants with pre vaccination rSBA titer ≥1:8

Participants 7 through 17 years of age (Cohort I): Vaccine seroresponse to meningococcal serogroups W and Y will be assessed in participants receiving MenACYW conjugate vaccineDay 01 (pre-vaccination) and Day 31 (post- vaccination)

30 days postvaccination rSBA titer ≥1:8 for participants with prevaccination rSBA titer \<1:8, or At least 4-fold increase in rSBA titer from pre- to 30 days post-vaccination for participants with pre vaccination rSBA titer ≥1:8

Participants 2 through 6 years of age (Cohort II): Geometric mean titers (GMTs) of antibodies against meningococcal serogroups A and CDay 01 (pre-vaccination) and Day 31 (post- vaccination)

Antibody titers are expressed as geometric mean titers
