Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
a) Immediate adverse events (IAEs) within 30 minutes following study vaccination in pregnancy. b) Solicited local AEs within 7 days following study vaccination in pregnancy (pain and swelling/induration at the injection site). c) Solicited systemic AEs within 7 days following study vaccination in pregnancy (fever, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, fatigue, anorexia, vomiting and diarrhea). d) Unsolicited AEs within 28 days following study vaccination in pregnancy. e) Medically attended adverse events (MAAEs) within 180 days following study vaccination in pregnancy or until vaccination during breastfeeding whichever occurs first. f) Serious adverse events (SAEs) within 180 days following study vaccination in pregnancy or until vaccination during breastfeeding whichever occurs first;MAAEs and SAEs in infants ;In pregnant women, antibody titer against serogroups A, C, W, Y, and X at baseline and day 28 post vaccination measured by rabbit complement serum bactericidal antibody (rSBA) assay [Summary: Geometric mean titers (GMTs) and Seroresponse rate]

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Pregnancy outcome (Live birth/Stillbirth/Miscarriage (spontaneous abortion)/Induced abortion) ;Gestation and weight at birth of infants;a) Immediate AEs within 30 minutes following study vaccination during breastfeeding. b) Solicited local AEs within 7 days following study vaccination during breastfeeding (pain and swelling/induration at the injection site). c) Solicited systemic AEs within 7 days following study vaccination during breastfeeding (fever, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, fatigue, anorexia, vomiting and diarrhea). d) Unsolicited AEs within 28 days following study vaccination during breastfeeding.;Adverse Events in Lactation and Breastfeeding reported as MAAEs and SAEs within 138 days following maternal dosing of MenFive during breastfeeding;In infants, weight, length at six weeks and at six months (180 days) of age;In pregnant women, antibody titer against serogroups A, C, W, Y, and X at baseline and day 28 post vaccination measured by rabbit complement serum bactericidal antibody (rSBA) assay [Summary:Percentage of pregnant women with rSBA titer of = 1:8 and = 1:128];In infants, antibody titer against serogroups A, C, W, Y, and X at birth measured by rSBA assay;In breastfeeding women, antibody titer against serogroups A, C, W, Y, and X at baseline and day 28 post vaccination measured by rSBA assay;In infants, antibody concentration against diphtheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid, Haemophilus influenzae type b capsular polysaccharide (PRP), and pneumococcal serotype-specific capsular polysaccharides measured 4 weeks post-dose 3 (28 days after completing the 3-dose immunization regimen with routine infant vaccines)
