Outcome results
Percentages of Subjects With Seroresponse, Directed Against Neisseria Meningitidis Serogroups A, C, W and Y After MenACWY-CRM Vaccination.
Immunogenicity was measured as the percentage of subjects with hSBA response and associated 95% Clopper-Pearson confidence interval (CI), directed against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W and Y by serum bactericidal assay using human complement, human serum bactericidal assay (hSBA), at day 29 (28 days after MenACWY-CRM vaccination). Seroresponse is defined as: 1. for subjects with a pre-vaccination hSBA titer \< 1:4, a postvaccination hSBA titer ≥ 1:8. 2. for subjects with a pre-vaccination hSBA titer ≥ 1:4, an increase in hSBA titer of at least four times the pre-vaccination titer.
Time frame: day 29
Population: Analysis was done on per protocol (PP) population i.e. the subjects who received the vaccine correctly and provided evaluable serum samples at the relevant time points.
