New meningitis vaccine shows promise in teen trial
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.
