Study summary

The study aims at evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of rMenB+OMV NZ when administered to subjects from 2 to 17 years of age with increased risk of meningococcal disease because either of primary or secondary complement deficiencies or of asplenia or splenic dysfunction. A group of healthy age-matched subjects will be enrolled to serve as a descriptive control for immunogenicity and safety.
