Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of one dose of four different formulations of the MenACWY conjugate vaccine when given to healthy children aged 12 14 months and 3 5 years. The selection of the best formulation will be based on data obtained up to one month after the vaccine dose. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, September 2007.

Detailed Description

The study will enrol subjects of 12 to 14 months of age and subjects of 3 to 5 years of age. Meningitec™ or Mencevax™ ACWY vaccine will serve as active control. The study will be conducted in two stages: The primary vaccination phase (Study Stage 1) of the study will include all subjects; the second (booster/persistence) phase of the study (Study Stage 2) will include subjects in the active control groups and in the group which was primed with the selected MenACWY formulation.

•Written informed consent obtained from the parent or guardian of the subject.
•Free of obvious health problems as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study
•Previously completed routine childhood vaccinations to the best of his/her parents'/guardians' knowledge. For pertussis vaccination, the children aged 12-14 months should have been vaccinated with an acellular pertussis vaccine.

Exclusion Criteria

•Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine(s) within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period.
•Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the first vaccine dose.
•Planned administration/ administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol within one month of the first dose of vaccine and up to one month after administration of each study vaccine dose with the exception of oral polio vaccine.
•Previous vaccination against meningococcal serogroup A, C, W-135 or Y disease.
•Administration of a H. influenzae type b, diphtheria or tetanus vaccine within 3 months before the first dose of vaccine.
•For subjects aged 12-14 months at enrolment, a DTPa/Hib containing booster vaccination, in the second year of life: these booster vaccines will be given at Visit
•History of meningococcal serogroup A, C, W-135 or Y disease.
•Known exposure to meningococcal serogroup A, C, W-135 or Y disease within the previous year.
•Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
•A family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
