study to assess the immunological long-term persistence of antibodies (abs) 2 years after glaxosmithkline (gsk) meningococcal abcwy vaccination in the v102_15 (nct02212457) and response to a booster in adolescents

Conditions: Infections, Meningococcal

Summary: the purpose of this study is to compare the persistence of 2 or 3 doses of the gsk menabcwy vaccine, or 2 doses of gsk rmenb+omv vaccine (bexsero) administered to healthy adolescents at approximately 24 months after the last meningococcal vaccination in the parent study v102_15(nct02212457), compared with baseline antibody levels in vaccine naïve subjects at similar age at enrolment.

naive subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive menabcwy or rmenb+omv at day 1. no randomization to treatment arm for follow-on subjects is required as vaccine groups remain the same as in the parent study v102_15 (nct02212457). response to a booster dose of menabcwy vaccine will also be assessed in follow-on subjects who received 2 or 3 doses of menabcwy (at 0.2-, 0,.6- or 0,.2,.6-month schedules) in the parent study, and will be compared with responses to a single dose of menabcwy in naive subjects (subjects who are meningococcal vaccine-naive and of similar age to subjects enrolled from the parent study). response to a booster dose of gsk meningococcal b recombinant vaccine (rmenb+omv) will be assessed in subjects who received 2 doses of rmenb+omv (at 0, 2-month schedule) in the parent study, and will be compared with responses to a single dose of rmenb+omv in naive subjects.
