Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity of an Investigational Multicomponent Meningococcal Group B Vaccine in Adults, Adolescents, Toddlers, and Infants

Primary Objective:

  • To describe the safety profile of the SP MenB vaccine formulations and the 2 licensed MenB comparator vaccines in healthy adults, adolescents, toddlers and infants, when administered alone (Stages 1-4) or concomitantly with MenQuadfiTM (MenACYW conjugate vaccine) (for Stages 2-4 only), and with age-appropriated routine pediatric vaccines (for Stages 3-4 only)

  1. To describe the safety profile of the SP MenB vaccine formulations, Bexsero Vaccine and Trumenba Vaccine in healthy adults, and adolescents;
  2. To describe the safety profile of the SP MenB vaccine formulations and Bexsero Vaccine in toddlers and infants;
  3. To describe the safety profile of the SP MenB vaccine formulations,
  • when administered alone
  • when administered with MenQuadfiTM (MenACYW conjugate vaccine)
  • when administered with routine infant immunizations
  • To describe the immune response to the SP MenB vaccine formulations and the 2 licensed MenB comparator vaccines after the last dose of primary vaccination in healthy adults, adolescents, toddlers and infants, when administered alone, or concomitantly with MenQuadfi Vaccine or other routine vaccines, as measured by the serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) in the primary panel of MenB strains by Stage, by age group and by vaccine schedule

Secondary Objective:

  • To describe the immune response to the SP MenB vaccine formulations and the 2 licensed MenB comparator vaccines at each timepoint in healthy adults, adolescents, toddlers and infants, when administered alone or concomitantly with MenQuadfi Vaccine or other routine vaccines as measured by hSBA in the primary panel of MenB strains by Stage by age group and by vaccine schedule
  • To describe the immune response (breadth of coverage) in the secondary panel of MenB strains in participants (adults and adolescents) in Stage 1 and 2 after the last dose of the primary series in each group
  • To describe the persistence of immune response following primary series at D366, and immune response 1 month after a booster dose of the SP MenB vaccine given 1-year post-dose 1 (at D366) in a subset of adults and adolescents in Stage 2 who received SP MenB vaccine formulations, Bexsero Vaccine or Trumenba Vaccine as measured by hSBA in the primary panel of MenB strains by age group
  • To describe the immune response against meningococcal serogroups A, C, W and Y measured with hSBA in participants from each agegroup receiving MenQuadfi Vaccine
Read the detailed description

Study duration per participant will be approximately: 7 months for Stage 1 participants, 12 to 18.5 months for Stage 2 participants, 12 months for Stage 3 participants and 18 months for Stage 4 participants

In each vaccine group at each age group (Stage 1, 3 and 4 only), the first 5 participants enrolled (sentinels) will be assessed via early safety data review (ESDR) as a cohort for the evaluation of biological safety and overall safety profile for D01-D08 post dose 1. The safety data collected will be reviewed before proceeding with recruitment of remaining participants in each study group. Enrollment of remaining participants randomized to each group will be based on the outcome of the safety assessments of the sentinels: only a positive review outcome will allow the enrollment of the sentinel cohort of the respective lower age group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Multicomponent Meningococcal B Vaccine, Meningococcal Group B Vaccine MenB and Meningococcal Group B Vaccine (recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid [rDNA], component, adsorbed) in people with Meningococcal Immunisation and Healthy Volunteers, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 10 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Sponsor decision. Termination decision not related to any safety concern.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with immediate adverse events (AEs) (time frame: Within 30 minutes after vaccination). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Oct 2025.
