A Phase 3b, Open-Label, Randomized, Multicenter Study to Assess the Safety and Immunogenicity of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals Meningococcal Group B Vaccine When Administered Concomitantly With GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals MenACWY Conjugate Vaccine to Healthy Infants
A Phase 3b, Open-Label, Randomized, Multicenter Study to Assess the Safety and Immunogenicity of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals Meningococcal Group B Vaccine When Administered Concomitantly With GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals MenACWY Conjugate Vaccine to Healthy Infants
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the immunogenicity, the safety and the tolerability of rMenB+OMV NZ and MenACWY vaccines in healthy infants, when concomitantly administered at 3, 5, 7 and 13 months of age, compared to either alone.
