Overview

This combination refers to a specific active control regimen used in clinical research, consisting of the quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine **Menactra** (MCV4) and the tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis booster vaccine **Adacel** (Tdap), administered concomitantly with a saline injection. This regimen was utilized as a comparator arm in a Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT01461993) sponsored by **Pfizer** to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the bivalent rLP2086 meningococcal group B vaccine (**Trumenba**) when given alongside routine adolescent vaccinations. Menactra provides protection against *Neisseria meningitidis* serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135, while Adacel provides booster immunity against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. In this specific study context, the saline injection served as a placebo for the investigational meningococcal group B vaccine component.
