Popis: The currently licensed quadrivalent MenACWY-CRM conjugate vaccine presentation consists of two vials (lyophilized MenA and liquid MenCWY) to be reconstituted before injection. A new fully liquid, single-vial formulation has been developed to simplify administration and prevent reconstitution errors. We present pooled safety data from two randomized, controlled, observer-blind phase 2b clinical trials, in which the fully liquid presentation was compared with the licensed presentation.This is a post hoc analysis of two studies, in which safety data from participants aged 10-40 years who received one dose of either liquid MenACWY-CRM (1337 participants; MenACWY liquid group) or licensed MenACWY-CRM (1332 participants; MenACWY licensed group) were pooled. Frequencies were calculated for solicited adverse events (AEs) during 7 days post-vaccination and unsolicited AEs, including medically attended AEs and serious AEs (SAEs), during the 6-month safety follow-up period. Analysis results are presented by vaccine group, overall and by age category (10-17 and 18-40 years).Overall, AEs solicited for collection during the first 7 days after vaccination were reported by similar percentages of participants (69.2%, MenACWY liquid; 68.2%, MenACWY licensed), and were generally mild/moderate in intensity. Solicited local AEs were reported by 46.0% of the MenACWY liquid group and 43.5% of the MenACWY licensed group and solicited systemic AEs by 55.2 and 54.1%, respectively. During the 6-month post-vaccination period, unsolicited AEs were reported by 32.2 and 31.2% of the MenACWY liquid group and MenACWY licensed group, respectively, and medically attended AEs by 18.6 and 17.3%, respectively. Overall, 14 participants in each group (1.0 and 1.1%, respectively) reported SAEs, none of which was considered vaccine-related by the investigator. The safety profiles of both MenACWY-CRM presentations were similar for each age group and overall.This pooled analysis shows the safety profile of fully liquid MenACWY-CRM is comparable with that of the currently licensed vaccine presentation.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifiers: NCT03652610 (August 29, 2018), NCT03433482 (14 February 2018).
