NCT ID NCT04490018

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a new meningitis vaccine (MenQuadfi) in 463 healthy adolescents aged 10 to 17. It compared the new vaccine to an existing one (Nimenrix) and also checked if it could be given at the same time as HPV and Tdap-IPV vaccines. The goal was to see if the new vaccine provides similar protection against four types of meningococcal bacteria.

If successful, this could provide a safe and effective option for protecting adolescents against four types of meningococcal disease, possibly with fewer shots.
