    •We report immune persistence up to 5 y post MenACWY-TT vaccination of 12–14-mo-olds.•Immune responses declined over time but were higher at 5 y vs before vaccination.•Comparable antibody persistence at Year 5 was observed with 1 or 2 MenACWY-TT doses.•Geometric mean titers were elevated in those who received 2 vs 1 dose.•No new safety concerns were identified over the study duration. Immunogenicity and safety up to 5 years after administration of 1 or 2 doses of quadrivalent meningococcal serogroup A, C, W, and Y tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine (MenACWY-TT) given alone or with 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in children was investigated. This phase 3 study randomized healthy 12–24-month-olds to MenACWY-TT at Month 0 (ACWY1d), MenACWY-TT at Months 0 and 2 (ACWY2d), MenACWY-TT and PCV13 at Month 0 (Co-Ad), or PCV13 at Month 0 and MenACWY-TT at Month 2 (PCV13/ACWY). Immune responses 1, 3, and 5 years after primary vaccination were evaluated with serum bactericidal activity using rabbit complement (rSBA) titers ≥ 1:8 and geometric mean titers (GMTs). Evaluation of serious adverse events up to 5 years after primary vaccination are reported. Of the 802 children randomized in the study, 619 completed the study through Year 5. Immune responses after vaccination declined over time but were higher 5 years after vaccination compared with levels before vaccination. At Year 5, the percentages of children with rSBA titers ≥ 1:8 across all serogroups were 20.5 %−58.6 %, 28.4 %−65.8 %, 23.9 %−52.8 %, and 19.4 %−55.8 % in the ACWY1d, ACWY2d, Co-Ad, and PCV13/ACWY groups, respectively. Comparable antibody persistence at Year 5 was observed for participants receiving 1 or 2 doses of MenACWY-TT, although GMTs were elevated in those who received 2 versus 1 dose. The percentage of children with protective antibody titers at Year 5 was similar in participants who received PCV13 and MenACWY-TT compared with that observed for participants who only received 1 or 2 MenACWY-TT doses. No new safety concerns were identified during the study period. Antibody responses persisted in the majority of children up to 5 years after primary vaccination with MenACWY-TT administered in a 1- or 2-dose regimen with or without PCV13, with no new safety concerns identified.
