Meningococcal Combined ABCWY Vaccine (GSK)

The purpose of this study was to assess the safety, effectiveness, and immune response of the meningococcal combined ABCWY vaccine (GSK4023393A) intended to protect against invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) caused by all 5 meningococcal serogroups. The first time-in-human (FTIH), Phase I part of this study was conducted in healthy adults in a dose-escalating fashion with 2 formulations of the investigational MenABCWY-2Gen vaccine and served as a safety lead-in to the Phase II study. The Phase II part of the study was conducted in 2 parts: The 'formulation and schedule-finding' part followed in healthy adolescents and young adults and was designed to select the vaccine formulation and the schedule to be tested in Phase III. The 'blood sourcing' part was conducted in healthy adults in order to collect sufficient serum samples for the development of assays to be used in the MenABCWY-2Gen vaccine clinical development program.
