The quadrivalent meningococcal tetanus toxoid-conjugate vaccine (MenACYW-TT) was assessed as a booster in this Phase III trial (NCT02752906). Quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4)-primed individuals aged ≥15 y (n = 810) were randomized 1:1 to receive a single booster dose of MenACYW-TT (n = 403) or a licensed MCV4 (Menactra®; MCV4-DT [n = 407]). Serum bactericidal antibody assay with human complement (hSBA) was used to measure functional antibodies against serogroups A, C, W, and Y at baseline and Day 30 post-vaccination. Proportions of participants achieving seroresponse (post-vaccination titer ≥1:16 for those with baseline titer <1:8 or ≥4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer for those with baseline titer ≥1:8) were determined. Safety data were collected for 180 d post-vaccination. Non-inferiority of the immune response was demonstrated for MenACYW-TT compared with MCV4-DT based on the proportion of participants achieving hSBA vaccine seroresponse for each of the meningococcal serogroups at Day 30. Moreover, ≥99% of participants in both study groups had hSBA titers ≥1:8 for the four meningococcal serogroups at Day 30. Reactogenicity profiles were comparable between groups. These Phase III data in adolescents and adults show that MenACYW-TT boosts the immune response in those primed with MCV4 vaccines 4–10 y previously, irrespective of whether MCV4-DT or MCV4-CRM was used for priming.
