Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Immunogenicity of Novartis Meningococcal B Vaccine Formulated With OMV Manufactured at Two Different Sites, in Healthy Adolescents Aged 11-17 Years (NCT NCT01423084)

NCT ID: NCT01423084

Last Updated: 2015-02-20

Results Overview

Consistency of the immune response of the two lots of rMenB+OMV NZ will be assessed at one month after the second vaccination based on the ratio of the vaccine lot hSBA GMTs for each of three serogroup B reference strains (H44/76, 5/99, and NZ98/254) and based on the ratio of Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) GMCs for vaccine antigen 287-953. The equivalence interval will be (0.5, 2.0).
