Overview
Brief Summary
This is a prospective, open label, randomized, comparative, first-in-human, Phase-I study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of a single intramuscular dose of adjuvanted and non-adjuvanted formulations of Biological E’s Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine (MCV) in 18-45-year-old healthy adult subject.
A total of 90 adult subjects will be recruited to one of the three treatment arms in 1:1:1 ratio to receive a single 0.5 mL dose of BE’s Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine either adjuvanted or non-adjuvanted or a licensed comparator, intramuscularly.
The study will be conducted in compliance with NDCT Rules, ICH and Indian good clinical practice guidelines in force at the time of study conduct.
