  1. ACWY-TT = group of participants who received one dose of MenACWY-TT at Month 0.
  2. Men-PS = group of participants who received one dose of the MenACWY polysaccharide vaccine at Month 0.
  3. Vaccine response defined as:
  4. • rSBA titre ≥32 at Month 1 for initially seronegative participants (rSBA titre <8).
  5. • rSBA titre at Month 1 ≥4-fold the antibody titre at Month 0 for initially seropositive participants (rSBA titre ≥8).
  6. N = number of participants with pre- and post-vaccination results available (ATP immunogenicity cohort).
  7. % = percentage of participants with a vaccine response.
  8. 95% CI = standardised asymptotic 95% confidence interval.
  9. Bold = lower limits of the 95% confidence intervals of the differences in vaccine response rates, which were used to demonstrate non-inferiority.
