MENQUADFI solution for injection medication leaflet

J07AH08 group A, C, W and Y conjugated meningococcal vaccine • Antiinfectives for systemic use | Bacterial vaccines | Meningococcal vaccines

The meningococcal conjugate vaccine for groups A, C, W, and Y is used to prevent infections caused by Neisseria meningitidis, a bacterium that can cause meningitis and septicemia. The vaccine contains capsular polysaccharides from these serogroups, linked to a carrier protein, which stimulates a stronger and longer-lasting immune response.

The vaccine is administered intramuscularly, usually in a single dose, and is recommended for adolescents, individuals traveling to endemic areas, and those at increased risk of infection, such as students living in dormitories or pilgrims traveling to high-risk regions.

Common side effects include pain at the injection site, mild fever, fatigue, and headache. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions may occur.

The meningococcal conjugate vaccine for groups A, C, W, and Y is an essential preventive measure for reducing the incidence of meningococcal diseases and their severe complications, helping to protect public health.

4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS

4.1 Therapeutic indications

MenQuadfi is indicated for active immunisation of individuals from the age of 12 months and olderagainst invasive meningococcal disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, W, and Y.

The use of this vaccine should be in accordance with available official recommendations.

4.2 Posology and method of administration

Posology
Primary vaccination:

* Individuals 12 months of age and older: One single dose (0.5 mL).

Booster vaccination:

* A single 0.5 mL dose of MenQuadfi may be used to boost subjects who have previously received ameningococcal vaccine containing the same serogroups (see section 5.1).

* Long-term antibody persistence data following vaccination with MenQuadfi are available up to7 years after vaccination (see sections 4.4 and 5.1).

* There are no data available to indicate the need for or timing of a booster dose of MenQuadfi (seesection 5.1).

Other paediatric population

The safety and immunogenicity of MenQuadfi in individuals under 12 months of age have not yet beenestablished.

Method of administration

For intramuscular injection only, preferably in the deltoid region or anterolateral thigh depending on therecipient's age and muscle mass.

For instructions on handling of the vaccine before administration, see section 6.6.

4.3 Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1 or after previousadministration of the vaccine or a vaccine containing the same components.

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use

Traceability

In order to improve the traceability of biological medicinal products, the name and the batch number ofthe administered product should be clearly recorded.

MenQuadfi should not be administered subcutaneously, intravascularly or intradermally.

It is good clinical practice to precede vaccination by a review of the medical history (especially withregard to previous vaccination and possible occurrence of undesirable effects) and a clinical examination.

Hypersensitivity

As with all injectable vaccines, appropriate medical treatment and supervision should always be readilyavailable in case of an anaphylactic event following administration of the vaccine.

Intercurrent illness

Vaccination should be postponed in individuals suffering from an acute severe febrile illness. However,the presence of a minor infection, such as cold, should not result in the deferral of vaccination.

Syncope

Syncope (fainting) and other anxiety‐related reactions can occur following or even before any vaccinationas a psychogenic response to the needle injection. Procedures should be in place to prevent falling orinjury and to manage syncope.

Thrombocytopenia and coagulation disorders

MenQuadfi should be given with caution to individuals with thrombocytopenia or any coagulationdisorder that would contraindicate intramuscular injection, unless the potential benefit clearly outweighsthe risk of administration.

Protection

MenQuadfi will only protect against Neisseria meningitidis groups A, C, W, and Y. The vaccine will notprotect against any other Neisseria meningitidis groups.

As with any vaccine, vaccination with MenQuadfi may not protect all vaccine recipients.

Waning of serum bactericidal antibody titres against serogroup A when using human complement in theassay (hSBA) has been reported for MenQuadfi and other quadrivalent meningococcal vaccines. Theclinical relevance of this observation is unknown. However, if an individual is expected to be at particularrisk of exposure to serogroup A and received a dose of MenQuadfi more than approximately one yearpreviously, consideration may be given to administering a booster dose.

Lower hSBA geometric mean titres (GMTs) against serogroup A have been observed after a single doseof MenQuadfi was administered to toddlers who previously received serogroup C meningococcalconjugate vaccine (MenC-CRM) during infancy. Nevertheless, seroprotection rates were comparablebetween treatment groups (see section 5.1). The clinical relevance of this observation is unknown. Thisaspect might be considered for individuals at high risk for MenA infection who received MenC-CRMvaccine in their first year of life.

Immunodeficiency

It may be expected that in patients receiving immunosuppressive treatment or patients withimmunodeficiency, an adequate immune response may not be elicited (see section 4.5). Persons withfamilial complement deficiencies (for example, C5 or C3 deficiencies) and persons receiving treatmentsthat inhibit terminal complement activation (for example, eculizumab) are at increased risk of invasivedisease caused by Neisseria meningitidis groups A, C, W, and Y, even if they develop antibodiesfollowing vaccination with MenQuadfi. No data on immunocompromised patients are available.

Tetanus immunisation

Immunisation with MenQuadfi vaccine does not substitute for routine tetanus immunisation.

Co-administration of MenQuadfi with a tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine does not impair the response totetanus toxoid or impact the safety.

Sodium content

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose, that is to say essentially‘sodium-free’.

4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

Use with other vaccines

Injection sites on separate limbs and separate syringes must be used in the case of concomitantadministration.

For ages 12-23 months, MenQuadfi can be co-administered with the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine(MMR) + varicella vaccine (V), combined diphtheria - tetanus - acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccines,including combination DTaP vaccines with hepatitis B (HBV), inactivated poliovirus (IPV) or

Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) such as DTaP-IPV-HB-Hib (Hib conjugated to tetanus toxoid)vaccine and 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugated vaccine (PCV-13).

There was no impact on the immune response to MenQuadfi when a meningococcal serogroup B vaccinewas co-administered.

MenQuadfi can be administered concomitantly with PCV-13. Lower hSBA GMTs on day 30 post-dosefor serogroup A have been observed when given concomitantly. The clinical relevance of this observationis unknown. As a precaution in children 12-23 months of age at high risk for serogroup A disease,consideration might be given for administration of MenQuadfi and PCV-13 vaccines separately.

For ages 10-17 years, MenQuadfi can be co-administered with diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (acellular,component) vaccine (adsorbed, reduced antigen(s) content) (Tdap), or Tdap and inactivated poliovirusvaccine (Tdap-IPV), and 4-valent human papillomavirus vaccine (recombinant, adsorbed) (4vHPV) or9-valent HPV vaccine (9vHPV). However, the antibody responses to some of the antigens might beaffected by the co-administration.

Meningococcal vaccine naïve children and adolescents aged 10-17 years had non inferior response for PTand lower antibody responses to FHA, PRN and FIM when Tdap vaccine was administered concomitantlywith MenQuadfi and 4vHPV compared to co-administration with 4vHPV vaccine alone (immuneresponse assessed after the full series of HPV was completed). The clinical implications of the observedpertussis antigen responses also observed with other quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccines areunknown.

The co-administration of MenQuadfi with Tdap-IPV and 9vHPV in children and adolescents aged10-17 years resulted in lower GMTs and seroresponse rates for serogroup A, lower GMTs for serogroup

W, lower responses to inactivated polio types 1 and 3, diphtheria, and anti-HPV types 6 and 58 (immuneresponse assessed after the first dose of 9vHPV) compared to when MenQuadfi was given sequentiallywith Tdap-IPV and 9vHPV. The clinical implication of the observed reduced titre responses is unclear.

Consideration might be given for sequential administration of MenQuadfi with Tdap-IPV and 9vHPV(e.g. for children and adolescents at higher risk).

Concomitant vaccines should always be administered at separate injection sites and preferablycontralateral.

Concomitant administration of MenQuadfi and other vaccines than those listed above has not beenstudied.

Use with systemic immunosuppressive medicinal products

It may be expected that in patients receiving immunosuppressive treatment an adequate immune responsemay not be elicited (see also section 4.4).

4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy

There is limited amount of data on the use of MenQuadfi in pregnant women. Animal studies do notindicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity (see section 5.3).

MenQuadfi should be used during pregnancy only if the expected benefits for the mother outweigh thepotential risks, including those for the foetus.

Breast-feeding

It is unknown whether MenQuadfi is excreted in human milk. MenQuadfi should only be used duringbreast-feeding when the possible advantages outweigh the potential risks.

Fertility

A developmental and reproductive toxicity study was performed in female rabbits. There were no effectson mating performances or female fertility. No study was conducted on male fertility (see section 5.3).

4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines

MenQuadfi has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.

However, some of the adverse reactions mentioned under section 4.8 “Undesirable effects” maytemporarily affect the ability to drive or use machines.

4.8 Undesirable effects

Summary of the safety profile

The safety of a single dose of MenQuadfi in individuals 12 months of age and older was evaluated inclinical trials where 6 308 subjects received either a primary dose (N = 5 906) or a booster dose (N = 402)of MenQuadfi. This included 1 389 toddlers aged 12 through 23 months of age, 498 children aged 2through 9 years, 2 289 children and adolescents aged 10 through 17 years, 1 684 adults aged 18 through55 years, 199 older adults aged 56 through 64 years, and 249 elderly aged 65 years and older. Of these,392 adolescents received MenQuadfi co-administered with Tdap and 4vHPV, and 589 toddlers received

MenQuadfi co-administered with MMR+V (N = 189), DTaP-IPV-HB-Hib (N = 200) or PCV-13(N = 200).

The most frequently reported adverse reactions within 7 days after vaccination with a single dose of

MenQuadfi alone in toddlers 12 through 23 months of age were irritability (36.7%) and injection sitetenderness (30.6%) and in ages 2 years and above were injection site pain (38.7%) and myalgia (30.5%).

These adverse reactions were mostly mild or moderate in intensity.

Rates of adverse reactions after a booster dose of MenQuadfi in adolescents and adults at least 15 years ofage were comparable to those seen in adolescents and adults who received a primary dose of MenQuadfi.

Rates of adverse reactions within 7 days following vaccination among toddlers were comparable when

MMR+V were given concomitantly with or without MenQuadfi, and when DTaP-IPV-HB-Hib was givenwith or without MenQuadfi. Overall, the rates of adverse reactions were higher in toddlers who received

PCV-13 given concomitantly with MenQuadfi (36.5%) than in toddlers who received PCV-13 alone(17.2%).

Children and adolescents aged 10-17 years of age were given either MenQuadfi alone (N = 171) or

MenQuadfi concomitantly with Tdap-IPV and the first dose of 9vHPV (N = 116). The rates of injectionsite pain at the 9vHPV injection site were higher when given concomitantly with Tdap-IPV and

MenQuadfi (83.6%) compared to when Tdap-IPV and 9vHPV were given without MenQuadfi (67.3%).

Overall, rates and intensity of adverse reactions were comparable between these two groups.

Adolescents and adults 13-26 years of age primed with MenQuadfi 3-6 years previously received

MenQuadfi co-administered with meningococcal serogroup B vaccine (MenB), MenB (recombinant,adsorbed) (N = 93) or MenB (rDNA, component, adsorbed) (N = 92). Rates and intensity of systemicadverse reactions within 7 days following vaccination tended to be higher when MenQuadfi was givenconcomitantly with MenB vaccine than when MenQuadfi was given alone. The most common solicitedsystemic adverse reaction was myalgia, of mild intensity, which was experienced more frequently inadolescents and adults who received MenQuadfi and MenB vaccine concomitantly (MenB [recombinant,adsorbed], 65.2%; or MenB [rDNA, component, adsorbed], 63%) compared to those who received

MenQuadfi alone (32.8%).

Paediatric population

The safety profile of MenQuadfi in children and adolescents 2 through 17 years of age was generallycomparable to that in adults. Injection site erythema and swelling at the MenQuadfi injection site werereported more frequently in children 2 through 9 years of age (very common) than in the older agegroups.

In toddlers 12 through 23 months of age, injection site erythema and swelling (very common) at the

MenQuadfi injection site, vomiting (common) and diarrhoea (common), were reported more frequentlythan in the older age groups. The following additional reactions, as listed below in Table 2, have beenreported following administration of MenQuadfi in toddlers during clinical trials and post-marketingsurveillance:

Older population

Overall, within 7 days after vaccination with a single dose of MenQuadfi, the same injection site andsystemic adverse reactions were observed in older (≥ 56 years of age) and younger adults (18 through55 years old) but at lower frequencies; except for injection site pruritus, which was more frequent(common) in older adults. These adverse reactions mostly were mild or moderate in intensity.

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions

Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allowscontinued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals areasked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system listed in Appendix V.

4.9 Overdose

Overdose with MenQuadfi is unlikely due to its presentation as a single dose vial. In the event ofoverdose, monitoring of vital functions and possible symptomatic treatment is recommended.

5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties

Pharmacotherapeutic group: meningococcal vaccines, ATC code: J07AH08

Mechanism of action

Anti-capsular meningococcal antibodies protect against meningococcal diseases via complementmediated bactericidal activity.

MenQuadfi induces the production of bactericidal antibodies specific to the capsular polysaccharides of

Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, W, and Y.

Immunogenicity

The immunogenicity of a single dose of MenQuadfi for primary vaccination in toddlers (12-23 months ofage), children and adolescents (2-17 years of age), adults (18-55 years of age) and older adults (56 yearsand above) was assessed in six pivotal trials and in two additional trials in toddlers (12-23 months of age)and children and adolescents (10-17 years of age). The immunogenicity of a single dose of MenQuadfiwhen used as a booster vaccination was assessed in one pivotal trial (subjects 15-55 years of age) and infour additional trials: two in children 3 years and 5 years after primary vaccination as toddlers 12 through23 months of age, one in adolescents and adults 3-6 years after primary vaccination, and one in olderadults 3, 5 and 6-7 years after primary vaccination at ≥ 56 years of age. In addition, clinical data on thepersistence of antibody response from at least 3 years and up to 7 years after primary vaccination with

MenQuadfi are available in these additional trials.

Primary immunogenicity analyses were conducted by measuring serum bactericidal activity (SBA) usinghuman serum as the source of exogenous complement (hSBA). Rabbit complement (rSBA) data areavailable in subsets in all age groups and generally follows the trends observed with human complement(hSBA) data. In addition, all subjects were assessed for primary immunogenicity measured by hSBA andrSBA for serogroup C in MEQ00065 study [NCT03890367].

Immunogenicity in toddlers 12 to 23 months of age

Immunogenicity in subjects 12 through 23 months of age was evaluated in three clinical trials (MET51[NCT02955797], MET57 [NCT03205371] and MEQ00065 [NCT03890367]).

MET51 was conducted in subjects who were either meningococcal vaccine naïve or had been primed withmonovalent meningococcal C conjugate vaccines in their first year of life (see table 3).

Response in subjects previously vaccinated with MenC conjugate vaccines in their first year of life

The majority of monovalent meningococcal C conjugate vaccine primed toddlers (12 through 23 monthsof age) in study MET51 (NCT02955797) had hSBA titres ≥ 1:8 in the MenQuadfi group (N = 198)(≥ 86.7%) and in MenACWYTT group (N = 99) (≥ 85.7%) at D30 post-vaccination. These toddlersreceived during their infancy MenCTT or MenCCRM vaccines. Post-vaccination seroprotection rateswere comparable between MenQuadfi and MenACWY-TT for all serogroups regardless of the primingbackground.

In MenC-CRM primed subjects the GMTs for serogroup A were lower in the MenQuadfi group (N = 49)than in the MenACWY-TT group (N = 25) [12.0 (8.23; 17.5) vs 42.2 (25.9; 68.8)]. After administrationof MenQuadfi seroprotection rates (hSBA titres ≥ 1:8) for subjects primed with MenC-CRM were lowerbut still comparable for serogroups A and W compared with those in the MenACWY-TT group [A:68.8% (53.7; 81.3) vs 96.0% (79.6; 99.9); W: 68.1% (52.9; 80.9) vs 79.2% (57.8; 92.9)]. The rates forserogroup Y were higher but still comparable with those in the MenACWY-TT group [95.8% (85.7; 99.5)vs 80.0% (59.3; 93.2)]. The rates for serogroup C were comparable in both groups [95.7% (85.5; 99.5) vs92.0% (74.0; 99.0)]. The clinical relevance of these results is unknown. This aspect might be consideredfor individuals at high risk for MenA infection who received MenC-CRM vaccine in their first year oflife.

MET57 (NCT03205371) was conducted in meningococcal vaccine naïve toddlers 12 through 23 monthsof age to assess the immunogenicity of the concomitant administration of MenQuadfi with paediatricvaccines (MMR+V, DTaP-IPV-HB-Hib or PCV-13). Overall, the post-vaccination hSBA seroprotectionrates in subjects who received MenQuadfi was high for all serogroups (between 88.9% and 100%).

Seroresponse and seroprotection rates for serogroup A were comparable when MenQuadfi was co-administered with PCV-13 and alone (56.1%, [95% CI 48.9; 63.2] and 83.7% [95% CI 77.7; 88.6] vs71.9% [95%CI 61.8; 80.6] and 90.6% [95%CI 82.9; 95.6]). There were differences in the hSBA GMTsfor serogroup A when MenQuadfi was co-administered with PCV-13 (N = 196) compared with

MenQuadfi administered alone (N = 96) (24.6 [95%CI 20.2; 30.1] and 49.0 [95%CI 36.8; 65.3]).) Theclinical relevance of these results is unknown but this observation might be taken into consideration forindividuals at high risk for MenA infection and consequently vaccinations with MenQuadfi and PCV13might be performed separately.

MEQ00065 (NCT03890367) study was conducted in meningococcal vaccine naïve toddlers 12 through23 months of age to assess the immunogenicity of serogroup C using hSBA and rSBA assays followingadministration of a single dose of MenQuadfi compared to MenACWY-TT or to MenC-TT.

Superiority of MenQuadfi was demonstrated in comparison to MenACWY-TT vaccine for the hSBAseroprotection rate and hSBA and rSBA GMTs to meningococcal serogroup C. Non-inferiority wasdemonstrated for the rSBA seroprotection rate to meningococcal serogroup C.

Superiority of MenQuadfi was also demonstrated in comparison to MenC-TT vaccine for the rSBA andhSBA GMTs to meningococcal serogroup C and non-inferiority was demonstrated for the rSBA andhSBA seroprotection rates to meningococcal serogroup C (see table 4).

Immunogenicity in children 2 through 9 years of age

Immunogenicity in subjects 2 through 9 years of age was evaluated in study MET35 (NCT03077438)(stratified by ages 2 through 5 and 6 through 9 years) comparing seroresponses following administrationof either MenQuadfi or MenACWY-CRM.

Overall, for subjects 2 through 9 years of age, immune non-inferiority, based on hSBA seroresponse, wasdemonstrated for MenQuadfi as compared to MenACWY-CRM for all four serogroups.

In an exploratory analysis in a non-random subset of participants (N = 60), the immune response andprotection rates were measured 6 and 30 days following co-administration of MenQuadfi with Tdap-IPVand 9vHPV. The proportion of subjects with seroprotection for serogroup A did not increase within6 days, whereas most of the subjects had seroprotection against serogroups C, W and Y (> 94%). After30 days, protection rates in this subset were comparable to the full trial population reported in table 8.

Response in subjects according to MenC vaccination status

The immunogenicity of serogroup C following administration of a single dose of MenQuadfi compared toa single dose of MenACWY-TT was assessed in both meningococcal vaccine naïve and MenC primed(before two years of age) subjects (MEQ00071). Overall, the post vaccination seroresponse and hSBA

GMTs against serogroup C were higher in meningococcal vaccine naive subjects who received

MenQuadfi than those who received MenACWY-TT, with seroprotection rates also trending higher. Nodifferences in antibody response were observed in MenC primed subjects between groups.

Persistence of immune response and MenQuadfi booster response

Antibody persistence following primary vaccination in toddlers, adolescents and young adults, and olderadults was assessed from at least 3 years and up to 7 years after primary vaccination. The immunogenicityof a MenQuadfi booster dose was also assessed.

Persistence of immune response and MenQuadfi booster response in children 4 through 5 years of age

MET62 (NCT03476135) evaluated the antibody persistence of a primary dose, immunogenicity andsafety of a booster dose of MenQuadfi in children 4 through 5 years of age. These children were primedwith a single dose of MenQuadfi or MenACWY-TT 3 years before as part of the phase II study MET54when they were 12 through 23 months old. The antibody persistence prior to the MenQuadfi booster doseand the booster immune response were assessed according to the vaccine (MenQuadfi or MenACWY-TT)children had received 3 years ago (see Table 11).

For all serogroups, hSBA GMTs were higher at D30 post-primary dose than at 3 years (3Y) post-primarydose (D0 pre-booster) for MenQuadfi or MenACWY-TT. The 3Y post-primary (D0 pre-booster) GMTswere higher than the pre-primary GMTs, indicative of long-term persistence of immune response.

After the booster dose, seroprotection rates were nearly 100% for all serogroups in children primed with

MenQuadfi.

Persistence of immune response and MenQuadfi booster response in children 6 through 7 years of age

MEQ00073 (NCT04936685) evaluated the antibody persistence of a primary dose, immunogenicity andsafety of a booster dose of MenQuadfi in children 6 through 7 years of age who had previously received aprimary dose of MenQuadfi 5 years earlier as part of study MET51 when they were 12 through 23 monthsof age (see Table 12).

For all serogroups, the 5Y post-primary (pre-booster) GMTs were higher than the pre-primary GMTs,indicative of persistence of immune response.

After the booster dose, seroprotection rates were nearly 100% for all serogroups in children primed with

MenQuadfi (98.9%, 97.7%, 100%, and 100% for serogroups A, C, W, and Y, respectively).

Response in subjects according to MenC vaccination status before priming with MenQuadfi in MET51

The antibody responses against serogroup C following administration of a booster dose of MenQuadfiwere comparable regardless of MenC vaccination status during their first year of life before priming with

MenQuadfi 5 years earlier in MET51.

Persistence of immune response and MenQuadfi booster response in adolescents and adults 13 through26 years of age

MET59 (NCT04084769) evaluated the antibody persistence of a primary dose, immunogenicity andsafety of a booster dose of MenQuadfi in adolescents and adults 13 through 26 years of age who hadreceived a single dose of MenQuadfi in study MET50 or MET43 or MenACWY-CRM in study MET50or outside of Sanofi Pasteur trials 3-6 years prior. The antibody persistence prior to the MenQuadfibooster dose and the booster immune response were assessed according to the vaccine (MenQuadfi or

MenACWY-CRM) subjects had received 3-6 years previously (see Table 13).

For all serogroups, hSBA GMTs were higher at D30 post-primary dose than at 3-6 Year (3-6Y) post-primary dose (D0 pre-booster) for MenQuadfi and MenACWY-CRM primed subjects. The 3-6Y post-primary dose (D0 pre-booster) GMTs were higher than the pre-primary GMTs, indicative of long-termpersistence of immune response.

After the booster dose, seroprotection rates were nearly 100% for all serogroups in adolescents and adultsprimed with MenQuadfi.

Persistence of immune response and MenQuadfi booster response in adults 59 years of age and older

MEQ00066 (NCT04142242) evaluated the antibody persistence of a primary dose, immunogenicity, andsafety of a booster dose of MenQuadfi in adults ≥ 59 years of age who had received a single dose of

MenQuadfi or MenACWY-PS ≥ 3 years previously in study MET49 or MET44.

3-year persistence

The antibody persistence prior to the MenQuadfi booster dose and the booster immune response wereassessed according to the vaccine (MenQuadfi or MenACWY-PS) subjects had received 3 yearspreviously in MET49 (Table 14).

For all serogroups, hSBA GMTs were higher at D30 post-primary dose than at 3 Year (3Y) post-primarydose (D0 pre-booster) for both MenQuadfi-primed and MenACWY-PS-primed adults. In addition, forboth primed groups, the 3 Year (3Y) post-primary dose (pre-booster) GMTs were higher than the pre-primary GMTs for serogroups C, W and Y (indicative of long-term persistence of immune response forthese serogroups) and were comparable for serogroup A.

5-year persistence

A subset of subjects (N = 52) who were assessed for antibody persistence at 3 years and did not receivethe booster dose were re-assessed for antibody persistence at 5 years at which time they received abooster dose of MenQuadfi. In MenQuadfi-primed subjects, hSBA GMTs for serogroups C, W and Y 5Ypost-primary dose trended higher than the pre-priming GMTs (and were comparable for serogroup A).

Following the MenQuadfi booster dose, seroprotection rates were 100% for serogroups A, C, and Y, and95.0% for serogroup W in subjects primed with MenQuadfi and 87.5%, 62.5%, 87.5% and 68.8% forserogroups A, C, W and Y, respectively, for those primed with MenACWY-PS. Additionally, hSBA

GMTs were higher and seroresponse rates were higher or trended higher for all serogroups in subjectsprimed with MenQuadfi compared to those primed with MenACWY-PS.

6-7 year persistence

The antibody persistence was assessed according to the vaccine (MenQuadfi or MenACWY-PS) subjectshad received 6-7 years previously in study MET44 (Table 15).

For all serogroups, hSBA GMTs were higher at D30 post-primary dose than at 6-7 Year (6-7Y) post-primary dose for MenQuadfi-primed adults. The 6-7Y post-primary GMTs were higher than the pre-primary GMTs for serogroup C, W, and Y in MenQuadfi-primed adults, indicative of long-termpersistence of immune response for these serogroups, and were comparable for serogroup A.
