Summary

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of immunogenicity of a single dose of MenACYW conjugate vaccine compared to Menactra® in adolescents and children aged 2 to 17 years in terms of serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) titers.

The secondary objectives of the study are:

To describe the antibody titers to the meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W before and at Day 30 after vaccination with MenACYW conjugate vaccine or a licensed meningococcal vaccine in adults in India aged 18 to 55 years (Menactra®) or ≥ 56 years (Quadri Meningo™)
To describe the antibody titers to the meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W before and at Day 30 after vaccination with MenACYW conjugate vaccine or Menactra® in children and adolescents aged 2 to 17 years in India and/or Republic of South Africa (RSA)

Description

Study duration per participant is approximately 31 to 45 days

	Z-score of ≥ -2 standard deviations (SD) on the Weight-for-height table of the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards
	For children : Children aged 2 to 5 years must have a Z-score of ≥ -2 SD on the Weight-for-height table of the WHO Child Growth Standards
	Informed consent obtained
	For adults: Informed consent form has been signed and dated by the subject and by an independent witness, if required by local regulations
	For children and adolescents: Assent form has been signed and dated by the subject (for subjects 7 to 17 years of age), and informed consent form has been signed and dated by the parent(s) or legally acceptable representative and by an independent witness, if required by local regulations
	Able to attend all scheduled visits and to comply with all trial procedures
	For adults: Able to attend all scheduled visits and to comply with all trial procedures
	For children and adolescents: Participants and parent / legally acceptable representative are able to attend all scheduled visits and to comply with all trial procedures
Exclusion Criteria
	Participant is pregnant, or lactating, or of childbearing potential and not using an effective method of contraception or abstinence from at least 4 weeks prior to vaccination until at least 4 weeks after vaccination. To be considered of non-childbearing potential, a female must be pre-menarche, or post-menopausal for at least 1 year, or surgically sterile
	Participation at the time of study enrollment (or in the 4 weeks preceding the trial vaccination) or planned participation during the present trial period in another clinical trial investigating a vaccine, drug, medical device, or medical procedure
	Receipt of any vaccine in the 4 weeks (28 days) preceding the trial vaccination or planned receipt of any vaccine in the 4 weeks following vaccination except for oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) in India, received during national immunization days. In India, OPV may be received with a gap of at least 2 weeks before the study vaccine. This exception includes monovalent and bivalent OPV
	Previous vaccination against meningococcal disease with either the trial vaccine or another vaccine (i.e., mono- or polyvalent, polysaccharide, or conjugate meningococcal vaccine containing serogroups A, C,Y, or W; or meningococcal B serogroup containing vaccine)
	Receipt of immune globulins, blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months
	Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy, within the preceding 6 months; or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy (prednisone or equivalent for more than 2 consecutive weeks within the past 3 months)
	History of meningococcal infection, confirmed either clinically, serologically, or microbiologically
	At high risk for meningococcal infection during the trial (specifically, but not limited to, subjects with persistent complement deficiency, with anatomic or functional asplenia, or subjects traveling to countries with high endemic or epidemic disease)
	Known systemic hypersensitivity to latex or to any of the vaccine components, or history of a life-threatening reaction to the vaccine(s) used in the trial or to a vaccine containing any of the same substances
	Verbal report of thrombocytopenia, as reported by the subject or the subject's parent / legally acceptable representative, contraindicating intramuscular vaccination in the Investigator's opinion
	Bleeding disorder, or receipt of anticoagulants in the 3 weeks preceding inclusion, contraindicating intramuscular vaccination in the Investigator's opinion
	Personal history of Guillain-Barré syndrome
	Personal history of an Arthus-like reaction after vaccination with a tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine within 10 years of the proposed study vaccination
	Deprived of freedom by an administrative or court order, or in an emergency setting, or hospitalized involuntarily
	Current alcohol abuse or drug addiction
	Chronic illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, is at a stage where it might interfere with trial conduct or completion
	Any condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, might interfere with the evaluation of the study objectives
	Moderate or severe acute illness/infection (according to Investigator judgment) on the day of vaccination, febrile illness (temperature ≥ 38.0 C), persistent diarrhea, vomiting. A prospective subject should not be included in the study until the condition has resolved or the febrile event has subsided
	Receipt of oral or injectable antibiotic therapy within 72 hours prior to the first blood draw
	Identified as an Investigator or employee of the Investigator or study center with direct involvement in the proposed study, or identified as an immediate family member (i.e., parent, spouse, natural or adopted child) of the Investigator or employee with direct involvement in the proposed study
	The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's
	potential participation in a clinical trial
