Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate, in 2-10 year old subjects, the non-inferiority of meningococcal vaccine GSK134612 compared to licensed meningococcal vaccine Mencevax™. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of Subjects With Vaccine Response to N. Meningitidis Serogroups A (MenA), MenC, MenY and MenW-135	Vaccine response was defined as an rSBA titer of at least 1:32 in subjects initially seronegative (< 1:8) and as 4-fold increase in titer from pre- to post-vaccination in subjects initially seropositive (= 1:8).	One month after vaccination (Post-vaccination, study Month 1)
Primary	Number of Subjects With Grade 3 General Symptoms (Solicited and Unsolicited)	Grade 3 symptom was defined as symptom that prevented normal, everyday activities.	During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period
Secondary	Number of Subjects With rSBA-MenA, rSBA-MenC, rSBA-MenW-135 and rSBA-MenY) Titers Greater Than or Equal (=) to the Cut-off Values	The cut-off values for the rSBA titers were = 1:8 and = 1:128 respectively.	Pre vaccination (Month 0) and post vaccination (Month 1)
Secondary	rSBA-MenA, rSBA-MenC, rSBA-MenW-135 and rSBA-MenY Antibody Titers	Antibody titers were expressed as geometric mean titers (GMTs).	Pre vaccination (Month 0) and post vaccination (Month 1)
Secondary	Number of Subjects With Anti-tetanus Toxoid (Anti-TT) Concentrations Greater Than or Equal to (=) the Cut-off Values	The cut-off values for anti-TT concentrations were = 0.1 international units per milliliter (IU/mL) and = 1.0 IU/mL respectively.	Pre vaccination (Month 0) and post vaccination (Month 1)
Secondary	Anti-tetanus Toxoid (Anti-TT) Antibody Concentrations	Antibody concentrations were expressed as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs)	Pre vaccination (Month 0) and post vaccination (Month 1)
Secondary	Number of Subjects With Anti-polysaccharide (Anti-PS) Concentrations Greater Than or Equal to (=) the Cut-off Values	The cut-off values for anti-PS concentrations were = 0.3 microgram per milliliter (µg/mL) and = 2.0 µg/mL respectively for the anti- PSA, anti-PSC, anti-PSW-135 and anti-PSY antibodies respectively. One half of the subjects (50%, randomized) of the ATP cohort for immunogenicity was tested for anti-PSA and anti-PSC and the other half for anti-PSW-135 and anti-PSY.	Pre vaccination (Month 0) and post vaccination, (Month 1)
Secondary	Anti-polysaccharide (Anti-PS) Antibody Concentrations	Anti-PS concentrations were expressed as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) and expressed in µg/mL. One half of the subjects (50%, randomized) of the ATP cohort for immunogenicity was tested for anti-PSA and anti-PSC and the other half for anti-PSW-135 and anti-PSY.	Pre vaccination (Month 0) and post vaccination (Month 1)
Secondary	Number of Subjects Less Than (<) 6 Years of Age With Solicited Local Symptoms	Solicited local symptoms assessed were pain, redness and swelling. Any was defined as occurrence of any local symptom regardless of intensity grade.	During the 4-day (Days 0-3) follow-up period after vaccination
Secondary	Number of Subjects = 6 Years of Age With Solicited Local Symptoms	Solicited local symptoms assessed were pain, redness and swelling. Any was defined as occurrence of any local symptom regardless of intensity grade.	During the 4-day (Days 0-3) follow-up period after vaccination
Secondary	Number of Subjects < 6 Years of Age With Solicited General Symptoms	Solicited general symptoms assessed were drowsiness, fever (measured orally and temperature = 37.5°C ), irritability and loss of appetite. Any was defined as incidence of any general symptom regardless of intensity grade or relationship to vaccination.	During the 4-day (Days 0-3) follow-up period after vaccination
Secondary	Number of Subjects = 6 Years of Age With Solicited General Symptoms	Solicited general symptoms assessed were fatigue, fever (measured orally and temperature = 37.5°C ), gastrointestinal and headache. Any was defined as incidence of any general symptom regardless of intensity grade or relationship to vaccination.	During the 4-day (Days 0-3) follow-up period after vaccination
Secondary	Number of Subjects Reporting Specific Adverse Events (AEs)	Specific AEs include: rash; new onset of chronic illness(es) (NOCI) and/ or conditions prompting emergency room (ER) visits or non-routine physician office visits.	From Day 0 up to 6 months after vaccination
Secondary	Number of Subjects Reporting Any Unsolicited Symptoms	Unsolicited symptom covers any symptom reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms.	Up to one month (Day 0-Day 30) after vaccination
Secondary	Number of Subjects Reporting Any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)	SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability /incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/ birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.
