Study of a Novel Multicomponent Meningococcal Group B Vaccine When Given Alone or With Other Licensed Vaccines in Adults, Adolescents, Toddlers and Infants
Investigating the Safety and Immune Response of an Investigational Meningococcal Vaccine (a type of bacteria that can cause serious infections like meningitis)
Study Overview
Primary Objective:
- To describe the safety profile of the SP MenB vaccine formulations and the 2
licensed MenB comparator vaccines in healthy adults, adolescents, toddlers and
infants, when administered alone (Stages 1-4) or concomitantly with MenQuadfiTM
(MenACYW conjugate vaccine) (for Stages 2-4 only), and with age-appropriated routine
pediatric vaccines (for Stages 3-4 only)
- To describe the safety profile of the SP MenB vaccine formulations, Bexsero Vaccine and Trumenba Vaccine in healthy adults, and adolescents;
- To describe the safety profile of the SP MenB vaccine formulations and Bexsero Vaccine in toddlers and infants;
- To describe the safety profile of the SP MenB vaccine formulations,
- when administered alone
- when administered with MenQuadfiTM (MenACYW conjugate vaccine)
- when administered with routine infant immunizations
- To describe the immune response to the SP MenB vaccine formulations and the 2 licensed MenB comparator vaccines after the last dose of primary vaccination in healthy adults, adolescents, toddlers and infants, when administered alone, or concomitantly with MenQuadfi Vaccine or other routine vaccines, as measured by the serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) in the primary panel of MenB strains by Stage, by age group and by vaccine schedule
Secondary Objective:
- To describe the immune response to the SP MenB vaccine formulations and the 2 licensed MenB comparator vaccines at each timepoint in healthy adults, adolescents, toddlers and infants, when administered alone or concomitantly with MenQuadfi Vaccine or other routine vaccines as measured by hSBA in the primary panel of MenB strains by Stage by age group and by vaccine schedule
- To describe the immune response (breadth of coverage) in the secondary panel of MenB strains in participants (adults and adolescents) in Stage 1 and 2 after the last dose of the primary series in each group
- To describe the persistence of immune response following primary series at D366, and immune response 1 month after a booster dose of the SP MenB vaccine given 1-year post-dose 1 (at D366) in a subset of adults and adolescents in Stage 2 who received SP MenB vaccine formulations, Bexsero Vaccine or Trumenba Vaccine as measured by hSBA in the primary panel of MenB strains by age group
- To describe the immune response against meningococcal serogroups A, C, W and Y measured with hSBA in participants from each agegroup receiving MenQuadfi Vaccine
Study Details
Study duration per participant will be approximately: 7 months for Stage 1 participants, 12 to 18.5 months for Stage 2 participants, 12 months for Stage 3 participants and 18 months for Stage 4 participants
In each vaccine group at each age group (Stage 1, 3 and 4 only), the first 5 participants enrolled (sentinels) will be assessed via early safety data review (ESDR) as a cohort for the evaluation of biological safety and overall safety profile for D01-D08 post dose 1. The safety data collected will be reviewed before proceeding with recruitment of remaining participants in each study group. Enrollment of remaining participants randomized to each group will be based on the outcome of the safety assessments of the sentinels: only a positive review outcome will allow the enrollment of the sentinel cohort of the respective lower age group.

The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
This study investigates the safety and immune response of investigational meningococcal vaccines in different age groups, including healthy adults, adolescents, toddlers, and infants. Meningococcal disease is a serious bacterial infection that can lead to meningitis, an inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. The study will compare the investigational vaccines with licensed vaccines when given alone or with other routine vaccines.
Participants will receive either the investigational vaccine or a licensed comparator vaccine. Some participants will also receive other vaccines like the MenQuadfi vaccine or routine pediatric vaccines. The study will involve blood tests to measure the immune response to the vaccines, which helps understand how well the body can fight off the bacteria that cause meningococcal disease.
- Who can participate: Participants in the US must be aged 10 to 25 years, while those in the EU can be aged 42 to 89 days, 12 to 18 months, or 10 to 50 years. All participants must be healthy and able to attend all scheduled visits. Female participants must not be pregnant or breastfeeding and must agree to use contraception if of childbearing potential.
- Study details: Participants will receive either the investigational vaccine or a licensed comparator vaccine. Participants may need to provide blood samples to assess their immune response to the vaccines.
