Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The primary objective is to demonstrate non-inferiority of SBA levels against MenC at 1 year (T2) after vaccination in the group vaccinated with tetravalent MenACWY-TT vaccine as compared with the group vaccinated with monovalent MenC-TT conjugate vaccine in 10-, 12-, and 15-years old children.
If non-inferiority is demonstrated, the objective is to compare SBA levels against MenA, MenW and MenY at 1 year (T2) after vaccination between the three age groups that are vaccinated with tetravalent MenACWY-TT vaccine.
Secondary outcome
- To compare SBA levels against MenC at 1 month (T1) between the vaccine groups within the
three age groups.
- To compare SBA levels against MenC of ¡Ý8 (persistence of vaccine induced protective antibody levels) at 1 month (T1) and 1 year (T2) between the vaccine groups within the three age groups.
- To compare serum MenC-PS specific IgG levels at 1 month (T1) and 1 year (T2) between the vaccine groups within the three age groups.
- To compare the decay rate of SBA levels and MenC-PS specific IgG levels after secondary vaccination (i.e. the difference between T2 and T1) between the vaccine groups within the three age groups.
- To compare SBA levels against MenA, MenW and MenY at 1 month (T1) between the three age groups within the MenACWY-TT vaccine group.
- To compare SBA levels against MenA, MenW and MenY of ¡Ý8 at 1 month (T1) and 1 year (T2) between the three age groups within the MenACWY-TT vaccine group.
- To compare serum MenA-PS, MenY-PS and MenW-PS specific IgG levels at 1 month (T1) and 1 year (T2) between the three age groups within the MenACWY-TT vaccine group.
- To compare serum IgG antibody levels against tetanus, the carrier protein for both vaccines, at 1 month (T1) and 1 year (T2)? between the vaccine groups within the three age groups.

Research protocol ¨C Version 1.9 ¨C May 24, 2013, Pagina 17
- To compare serum IgA levels against MenA, MenC, MenW and MenY at 1 month (T1) and at 1 year (T2) between the vaccine groups within the three age groups.
- To compare MenC-PS specific IgG subclasses (IgG1/IgG2 ratio) and avidity at 1 month (T1) and 1 year (T2)? between the vaccine groups within the three age groups.
- To compare SBA and IgG levels against MenC at 1 month and 1 year between the MenC-TT group of the current study and the TIM-study for the the 12- and 15- year olds, to establish the effect of the age at priming on antibody responses to a second MenC-TT vaccination during adolescence.
- Explorative: To measure saliva IgG and IgA levels at T0 1 month (T1) and 1 year (T2) in all groups.
- Explorative: To measure B- and T-cell memory immune responses at T0, 1 month (T1) and 1 year (T2) in all groups.
Background summary
Neisseria meningitides is a gram-negative diplococcal bacterium that causes septicemia and meningitis. The incidence of meningococcal serogroup Y (MenY) appears to increase throughout countries in Europe, including the Netherlands. Nowadays, many young adults go travelling world-wide. Even though the increase of MenC in 1999/2000 was much more notable, the MenACWY-TT vaccine may be beneficial for a second vaccination at older age in the future. This second vaccination will protect the adolescents and maintain the herd immunity that persists up until today. Currently, a MenACWY-TT vaccination in adolescence is considered in many countries. However, longitudinal effectiveness studies with the MenACWY-TT vaccine for a second meningococcal vaccination are lacking. Therefore, the evaluation of persistence of antibodies, after a booster vaccination with MenACWY-TT is critical to monitor the duration of protection of a MenACWY-TT conjugate vaccine in adolescence after priming with MenC-TT at age of 14 months.
Study objective
The aim of this study is to investigate the immune response to the tetravalent MenACWY-TT vaccine administered as a second meningococcal vaccination and compare the booster response to MenC with the booster response to the monovalent MenC-TT conjugate vaccine.
