Abstract
A fully liquid MenACWY-CRM vaccine presentation has been developed, modifying the meningococcal
serogroup A (MenA) component from lyophilized to liquid. The safety and immunogenicity of the liquid
presentation at the end of the intended shelf-life (aged for 24 or 30 months) were compared to the
licensed lyophilized/liquid presentation. This multicenter, randomized (1:1), observer-blind, phase 2b
study (NCT03433482) enrolled adolescents and young adults (age 10–40 years). In part 1, 844 participants
received one dose of liquid presentation stored for approximately 24 months or licensed presentation. In
part 2, 846 participants received one dose of liquid presentation stored for approximately 30 months or
licensed presentation. After storage, the MenA free saccharide (FS) level was approximately 25% and
O-acetylation was approximately 45%. The primary objective was to demonstrate non-inferiority of the
liquid presentation to licensed presentation, as measured by human serum bactericidal assay (hSBA)
geometric mean titers (GMTs) against MenA, 1-month post-vaccination. Immune responses against each
vaccine serogroup were similar between groups. Between-group ratios of hSBA GMTs for MenA were 1.21
(part 1) and 1.11 (part 2), with two-sided 95% confidence interval lower limits (0.94 and 0.87, respectively)
greater than the prespecified non-inferiority margin (0.5), thus meeting the primary study objective. No
safety concerns were identified. Despite reduced O-acetylation of MenA and increased FS content,
serogroup-specific immune responses induced by the fully liquid presentation were similar to those
induced by the licensed MenACWY-CRM vaccine, with non-inferior anti-MenA responses. The safety
profiles of the vaccine presentations were similar.
