Number of Participants Reporting Solicited Injection-Site and Systemic Reaction Following Vaccination With Either MenACYW Conjugate Vaccine or NIMENRIX® Primary · Day 0 up to Day 7 post-vaccination

A solicited reaction was defined as an adverse reaction (AR) observed and reported under the conditions (symptom and onset) prelisted (i.e., solicited) in the case report form (CRF) and considered as related to vaccination. Solicited injection site reactions: Tenderness, Erythema, and Swelling. Solicited systemic reactions: Fever, Vomiting, Crying abnormal, Drowsiness, Appetite lost, and Irritability. Grade 3 solicited injection site reactions: Tenderness: cries when injected limb was moved or the movement of the injected limb was reduced; Erythema and Swelling: greater than or equal to (≥) 50

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov

Time frame: Unsolicited adverse events (AEs) data were collected from Day 0 up to Day 30 post-vaccination. The solicited reactions (SRs) were collected up to Day 7 after vaccination. Serious AEs were collected throughout the trial (up to 30 days after vaccination).. Reporting threshold: 5%. Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.

Sponsor's own description

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety profile of a single dose of Meningococcal Polysaccharide (Serogroups A, C, Y, and W) Tetanus Toxoid (MenACYW) Conjugate vaccine when given alone compared to that of the licensed Meningococcal groups A, C, W 135 and Y (NIMENRIX®) Conjugate vaccine. Observational objectives: * To evaluate the antibody responses to the antigens (serogroups A, C, Y, and W) present in MenACYW Conjugate vaccine and NIMENRIX® measured by serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (rSBA) and by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) * To evaluate the antibody responses against tetanus in participants who received MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or NIMENRIX® vaccine * To evaluate the safety profile of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine and NIMENRIX®
