Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to further characterize the safety and immunogenicity of Menactra® in the population \<2 years of age when administered alone and when the second dose is administered concomitantly with the 4th dose of Pentacel®, a licensed pediatric vaccine.

Primary Objectives:

* To evaluate and compare the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 induced by 2 injections of Menactra® in subjects aged 9 months at the first vaccination visit and 15 to 18 months at the second vaccination visit.
* To evaluate and compare the antibody responses to Pertussis (pertussis toxoid \[PT\], filamentous haemagglutinin \[FHA\] and pertactin \[PRN\]) antigens induced by a dose of Pentacel® when administered concomitantly with Menactra® to those elicited by a dose of Pentacel® administered alone.
* To evaluate and compare the antibody responses to polyribosylribitol phosphate (PRP), tetanus and diphtheria antigens induced by a dose of Pentacel® when administered concomitantly with Menactra® to those elicited by a dose of Pentacel® alone.

Observational Objectives:

* To describe the safety profile (immediate unsolicited AEs within 30 minutes of each trial vaccination, solicited reactions within 7 days of each vaccination, unsolicited AEs within 30 days of each vaccination, and serious adverse events \[SAEs\] throughout the course of the trial from Day 0 up to Day 30 after the last trial vaccination\[s\]) in all trial groups
* To describe the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135, measured by SBA HC, 30 days after the second Menactra® administration
* To describe the antibody responses to Pentacel® (PT, FHA, PRN, FIM, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, PRP) measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), radioimmunoassay (RIA), or functional assays.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants will be vaccinated according to their randomized groups at age 9 months and at age 15 to 18 months. They will undergo immunogenicity assessment and safety monitoring post-vaccination.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Aged 9 months (249 to 305 days) for Groups 1 and 2, or 15 to 18 months (420 to 570 days) for Group 3 on the day of the first trial visit
* Informed consent form has been signed and dated by the parent(s) or other legally acceptable representative
* Received 3 doses of any DTaP-containing vaccines
* Received 3 doses of a Hib-containing vaccine, or 2 doses if the subject received PRP-OMP (PedvaxHIB® or Comvax®\[HepB-Hib\])
* Received at least 3 doses of a CRM197-based pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine \[PCV\] or 13-Valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine \[PCV13\])
* Subject and parent/ legally acceptable representative are able to attend all scheduled visits and to comply with all trial procedures.

Exclusion Criteria

* Participation in the 4 weeks preceding the first trial vaccination or planned participation during the present trial period in another clinical trial investigating a vaccine, drug, medical device, or medical procedure
* Receipt of any vaccine in the 4 weeks preceding each trial vaccination or planned receipt of any vaccine in the 4 weeks following each trial vaccination, except for influenza vaccination, which may be received at least 2 weeks before or after the trial vaccination(s)
* Vaccination against meningococcal disease with either the trial vaccine or another vaccine, or receipt of the 4th dose of any DTaP-containing vaccines, receipt of the 4th dose of a Hib-containing vaccine, or receipt of the 3rd dose of PRP-OMP (PedvaxHIB® or Comvax® \[Hep B-Hib\]) prior to enrollment or during the conduction of the trial, except for Group 1 subjects, who may receive Hib vaccine at 12 months
