Breadth of immune response, immunogenicity, reactogenicity, and safety for a pentavalent meningococcal ABCWY vaccine in healthy adolescents and young adults: results from a phase 3, randomised, controlled observer-blinded trial This study demonstrates breadth of immune response against a panel of 110 MenB strains for the MenB component of the investigational MenABCWY vaccine, when administered as a 0–6 months schedule to the target population of adolescents and young adults, with predefined criteria for success met for both breadth of immune response endpoints and for non-inferiority versus 4CMenB. This investigational vaccine could provide broad meningococcal serogroup coverage in a simplified immunisation schedule, thus aiding the public health attempt in preventing invasive meningococcal disease due to five Neisseria meningitidis serogroups in adolescents and young adults.
