Booster shot MenQuadfi shows promise for toddlers
NCT ID NCT05929651
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether a single booster dose of the MenQuadfi vaccine is safe and effective for healthy toddlers aged 12 to 23 months who had already received a different meningococcal vaccine as infants. The 71 participants in Argentina received one shot and had blood tests before and one month after to measure immune response. The study found that the booster increased antibody levels against four types of meningococcal bacteria, with no serious safety concerns reported.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MenQuadfi (meningococcal conjugate vaccine)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that MenQuadfi is a safe and effective booster option for toddlers, helping maintain protection against meningococcal disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed Phase 4 study with 71 toddlers in Argentina. Results may not apply to all populations, and the study did not compare MenQuadfi to other boosters.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 12 to 23 months on the day of inclusion * Participants who are healthy as determined by medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, and judgement of the Investigator * Received at least one priming dose of licensed Nimenrix® or Menveo® vaccine during infancy before 12 months of age with an interval of at least 2 months between the last vaccination with Nimenrix® or Menveo® and the MenQuadfi® booster dose Exclusion Criteria: * Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy, within the preceding 6 months; or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy (prednisone or equivalent for more than 2 consecutive weeks within the past 3 months) * History of meningococcal infection, confirmed either clinically, serologically, or microbiologically * At high risk for meningococcal infection during the study (specifically but not limited to participants with persistent complement deficiency, with anatomic or functional asplenia, or participants traveling to countries with high endemic or epidemic disease) * Personal history of Guillain-Barré syndrome * Personal history of an Arthus-like reaction after vaccination with a tetanus toxoid containing vaccine * Known systemic hypersensitivity to any of the study intervention components, or history of a life-threatening reaction to the study intervention used in the study or to a product containing any of the same substances * Moderate or severe acute illness/infection (according to investigator judgment) or febrile illness (temperature ≥ 38.0°C \[≥ 100.4°F\]) on the day of study intervention administration. Prospective participant should not be included in the study until the condition has resolved or the febrile event has subsided * Receipt of any vaccine (including COVID-19 vaccines) in the 4 weeks preceding the study intervention administration or planned receipt of any vaccine (including COVID-19 vaccines) in the 4 weeks following the study intervention administration except for influenza vaccination, which may be received at least 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after the study intervention. This exception includes monovalent pandemic influenza vaccines and multivalent influenza vaccines. * Previous vaccination with a Meningococcal C vaccine or Meningococcal B (MenB) vaccine * Receipt of immunoglobulins, blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months * Receipt of oral or injectable antibiotic therapy within 72 hours prior to the first blood draw NOTE: The above information was not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
