A phase III, open, multi-centre, controlled study to evaluate the long-term antibody persistence at 2 years, 3 years and 4 years after a single dose of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals’ meningococcal serogroup A, C, W-135, Y- tetanus toxoid conjugate (MenACWY-TT) vaccine versus one dose of Meningitec™ administered in healthy 12 through 23-month old children who were primed in study MenACWY-TT-039 (109670) and to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a booster dose of the same meningococcal conjugate vaccine as given in the primary study, 4 years after priming. - MENACWY-TT-048 EXT:039 Y2, 3, 4, 5

• Conditions: Healthy male and female children who completed the primary immunisation study MenACWY-TT-039 (109670) and were 12 to 23 months of age at the time of primary vaccination.

Exclusion Criteria

Exclusion criteria for persistence study entry (i.e. Month 24, 36 or 48):
•Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine(s) within 30 days preceding the subject’s first visit.
•History of meningococcal disease*.
•Administration of a meningococcal polysaccharide or a meningococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine outside of study MenACWY-TT-039 (109670).
•Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history (no laboratory testing is required).
•Administration of immunoglobulins and/or blood products within the three months preceding the subjects first visit.
•Concurrently participating in another clinical study, within 30 days of study entry, in which the subject has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational product (pharmaceutical product or device).
•Bleeding disorders, such as thrombocytopenia, or subjects on anti-coagulant therapy.
* Meningococcal disease history has to be documented using a SAE form.
Additional exclusion criteria for booster vaccination (to be checked at Month 48):
•Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the booster vaccination. (For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone, or equivalent, = 0.5 mg/kg/day. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed).
•History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine.
•Hypersensitivity to any vaccine containing diphtheria toxoid or non-toxic diphtheria toxin protein and/or tetanus toxoid.
•History of hypersensitivity after previous administration of Meningitec or MenACWY-TT in study MenACWY-TT-039 (109670).
•Hypersensitivity to latex.
•Planned administration/ administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the protocol within one month before and 30 days after the booster dose.
•Previous vaccination with tetanus and diphtheria toxoids within the last month (i.e., Tdap, Td and TT-containing vaccine within the last month).
•History of any neurological disorder or seizures (one episode of febrile convulsion does not constitute an exclusion criteria).
•Major congenital defects or serious chronic illness.
•Acute disease at the time of vaccination. Acute disease is defined as the presence of a moderate or severe illness with or without fever. All vaccines can be administered to persons with a minor illness such as diarrhoea, mild upper respiratory infection with or without low-grade febrile illness, i.e. Oral temperature < 37.5°C (99.5°F) / Axillary temperature < 37.5°C (99.5°F) / Rectal temperature < 38°C (100.4°F) / Tympanic temperature on oral setting < 37.5°C (99.5°F).
