What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Reporting Any Solicited Administration Site Events After the First Vaccination Administered on Day 1

    The solicited administration site events include tenderness (administration site pain), erythema (redness), induration and swelling. Any solicited administration site events = occurrence of the event regardless of intensity grade. Data for solicited administration site events is presented for each intervention administered in each arm group.

    Measured: From Day 1 to Day 7

  2. Number of Participants Reporting Any Solicited Systemic Events After the First Vaccination Administered on Day 1

    The solicited systemic events included diarrhoea, drowsiness (somnolence), fever (pyrexia), irritability/fussiness, loss of appetite, and vomiting. Fever is defined as temperature >38.0°C/100.4°F. Any solicited systemic events = occurrence of the event regardless of intensity grade.

    Measured: From Day 1 to Day 7

  3. Number of Participants Reporting Any Solicited Administration Site Events After the Second Vaccination Administered on Day 61

    Measured: From Day 61 to Day 67

  4. Number of Participants Reporting Any Solicited Systemic Events After the Second Vaccination Administered on Day 61

    Measured: From Day 61 to Day 67

  5. Number of Participants Reporting Any Solicited Administration Site Events After the Third Vaccination Administered on Day 301

    Measured: From Day 301 to Day 307

  6. Number of Participants Reporting Any Solicited Systemic Events After the Third Vaccination Administered on Day 301

    Measured: From Day 301 to Day 307

  7. Number of Participants Reporting Any Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs) After the First Vaccination Administered on Day 1

    Unsolicited AEs includes any AE reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study. Also, any 'solicited' symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms is reported as an unsolicited adverse event. Assessed unsolicited AEs include serious adverse events (SAEs), AEs leading to withdrawal, AEs of special interest (AESIs), and medically attended AEs (MAAEs). Any = occurrence of the event regardless of the intensity grade.

    Measured: From Day 1 to Day 30

  8. Number of Participants Reporting Any Unsolicited AEs After the Second Vaccination Administered on Day 61

    Measured: From Day 61 to Day 90

  9. Number of Participants Reporting Any Unsolicited AEs After the Third Vaccination Administered on Day 301

    Measured: From Day 301 to Day 330

  10. Number of Participants Reporting MAAEs, SAEs, AEs Leading to Withdrawal, and AESIs

    MAAEs are defined as symptoms or illnesses requiring a hospitalization, or an emergency room visit, or visit to/by a health care provider. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization or results in disability/incapacity. AESIs are predefined (serious or non-serious) AEs of scientific and medical concern specific to the product or program, for which ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by the investigator to the sponsor can be appropriate, because such an event might warrant further investigation in order to characterize and understand it. AEs leading to withdrawal are defined as AEs due which the participant is considered to have withdrawn from the study as no new study procedure has been performed or no new information has been collected for them since the date of withdrawal/last contact.

    Measured: From Day 1 to Day 481

  11. Percentage of Participants With Human Serum Bactericidal Assay (hSBA) Titers ≥ Lower Limit of Quantitation (LLOQ) for Each Serogroup B Indicator Strain at 1 Month After the Second Vaccination

    The immune response to the MenACWY-7B vaccine (low and high dose), the MenABCWY-1Gen vaccine and the MenB vaccine was evaluated by measuring bactericidal activity using an hSBA against all serogroup B indicator strains fHbp, NadA, NHBA, PorA, fHbp V1.13, fHbp V2 and fHbp V3.

    Measured: At Day 91 (1 month after the second vaccination)

    Measured: At Day 301 (pre-third vaccination)

  13. Percentage of Participants With hSBA Titers ≥ LLOQ for Each Serogroup B Indicator Strain at 1 Month After the Third Vaccination

    Measured: At Day 331 (1 month after the third vaccination)

  14. hSBA Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for Each Serogroup B Indicator Strain at 1 Month After the Second Vaccination

    The immune response to the MenACWY-7B vaccine (low and high dose), the MenABCWY-1Gen vaccine and the MenB vaccine against serogroup B indicator strains is determined using hSBA GMTs.

    Measured: At Day 91 (1 month after the second vaccination)

  15. hSBA GMTs for Each Serogroup B Indicator Strain at Pre-third Vaccination

    Measured: At Day 301 (pre-third vaccination)

    The immune response to the MenACWY-7B vaccine (low and high dose), the MenABCWY-1Gen vaccine and the MenB vaccine against serogroup B indicator strains is determined using hSBA GMRs. Within-group ratios of hSBA GMTs against each of the N.meningitidis serogroup B indicator strain at Day 331 compared to Day 301.

    Measured: At Day 331 (1 month after the third vaccination) compared to Day 301 (pre-third vaccination)

  18. Percentage of Participants With hSBA Titers ≥ LLOQ for Each A, C, W and Y Serogroup at 1 Month After the Second Vaccination

    The immune response to the MenACWY-7B vaccine (low and high dose), the MenABCWY-1Gen vaccine and the MenACWY-TT vaccine is evaluated by measuring bactericidal activity using an hSBA against serogroups A, C, W and Y.

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 5 inclusion and 27 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 33 sites in Spain, Poland, Finland, Germany, South Africa and 3 more countries. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Jun 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Reporting Any Solicited Administration Site Events After the First Vaccination Administered on Day 1 (time frame: From Day 1 to Day 7). The study lists 24 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 26 Jun 2026.
