Summary
This is a Phase 3, modified double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, active-controlled, multicenter study with 2 arms and 4 groups to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of MenACYW conjugate vaccine in children and adolescents versus control meningococcal vaccines licensed in China. Study details include: * The study duration will be approximately 180 days. * The vaccination visit will be Visit 1. * The visit frequency will be 2 on-site visits with a 30-day interval. A safety visit/telephone call is planned on the ninth day after the vaccination for all groups; a safety follow-up telephone call is planned for all groups 180 days post the last vaccination.

Masking description
Investigators and study staff as well as Sponsor study staff who conduct the safety assessment and the participant/parent/LAR will not know which study intervention is administered. Only the study staff who prepare and administer the study intervention and are not involved with the safety evaluation will know which study intervention is administered.

  4. Participants 2 through 6 years of age (Cohort II): Vaccine seroresponse to meningococcal serogroups A and C

    Timeframe: Day 01 (pre-vaccination) and Day 31 (post- vaccination)

    30 days postvaccination rSBA titer ≥1:8 for participants with prevaccination rSBA titer \<1:8, or At least 4-fold increase in rSBA titer from pre- to 30 days postvaccination for participants with pre vaccination rSBA titer ≥1:8

  5. Participants 2 through 6 years of age (Cohort II): Geometric mean titers (GMTs) of antibodies against meningococcal serogroups A and C

    Timeframe: Day 01 (pre-vaccination) and Day 31 (post- vaccination)

    Antibody titers are expressed as geometric mean titers

  6. Participants 2 through 6 years of age (Cohort II): Vaccine seroresponse to meningococcal serogroups W and Y in participants receiving MenACYW conjugate vaccine

    Timeframe: Day 01 (pre-vaccination) and Day 31 (post- vaccination)

    30 days post-vaccination rSBA titer ≥1:8 for participants with pre-vaccination rSBA titer \<1:8, or At least 4-fold increase in rSBA titer from pre- to 30◦days post-vaccination for participants with pre vaccination rSBA titer ≥1:8

  1. Participants 7 through 17 years of age (Cohort I): Vaccine seroresponse to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W (Group 1)

    Timeframe: Day 01 (pre-vaccination) and Day 31 (post- vaccination)

    30 days post vaccination rSBA titer ≥1:8 for participants with pre vaccination rSBA titer \<1:8, or At least 4-fold increase in rSBA titer from pre- to 30 days post vaccination for participants with pre vaccination rSBA titer ≥1:8

  2. Number of participants with immediate adverse events (AEs)

    Timeframe: Within 30 minutes post-vaccination

    Unsolicited systemic AEs that occur within 30 minutes after vaccination

  3. Presence of solicited injection site reactions

    Timeframe: Within 7 days post-vaccination

    Solicited injection site reactions include injection site pain, erythema and swelling

  4. Presence of solicited systemic reactions

    Timeframe: Within 7 days post-vaccination

    Solicited systemic reactions include fever, headache, malaise and myalgia

  5. Presence of unsolicited AEs

    Timeframe: Within 30 days post-vaccination

  6. Presence of SAEs

    Timeframe: Up to Day 181 post-vaccination

    SAEs, including adverse events of special interest (AESIs), reported throughout the study

  7. Participants 7 through 17 years of age (Cohort I): Antibody titers against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W in Groups 1 and 2

    Timeframe: Day 01 (pre-vaccination) and Day 31 (post- vaccination)
