Brief 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.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentages of Subjects With Serum Bactericidal Activity Using Human Complement (hSBA) Titers ≥ 5 for B Indicator Strains (H44/76, 5/99, and NZ98/254) and M10713 Strain. [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 91 (one month after the second dose of the study vaccine) ]
    Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of percentage of subjects with hSBA titers ≥ 5 against N. meningitidis serogroup B indicator strains (H44/76, 5/99, and NZ98/254) and M10713 strain following 2 doses of rMenB+Outer Membrane Vesicle (OMV) NZ, administered on Day 1 and Day 61.

  2. Percentages of Subjects With hSBA Titers ≥ 8 for B Indicator Strains (H44/76, 5/99, and NZ98/254) and M10713 Strain. [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 91 (one month after the second dose of the study vaccine). ]
    Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of percentage of subjects with hSBA titers ≥ 8 against N. meningitidis serogroup B indicator strains (H44/76, 5/99, and NZ98/254) and M10713 strain following 2 doses of rMenB+OMV NZ, administered on Day 1 and Day 61.

  3. Geometric Mean Ratios (GMRs) Against N. Meningitidis Serogroup B Strains Following a 2-dose Vaccination Schedule. [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 91 (one month after the second dose of the study vaccine). ]
    Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of GMRs against N. meningitidis serogroup B indicator strains (H44/76, 5/99, and NZ98/254) and M10713 strain following 2 doses of rMenB+OMV NZ, administered on Day 1 and Day 61.

  4. Geometric Mean hSBA Titers (GMTs) Against N. Meningitidis Serogroup B Strains Following a 2-dose Vaccination Schedule. [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 91 (one month after the second dose of the study vaccine). ]
    Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of GMTs against N. meningitidis serogroup B indicator strains (H44/76, 5/99, and NZ98/254) and M10713 strain following 2 doses of rMenB+OMV NZ, administered on Day 1 and Day 61.

  5. Percentages of Subjects With Four-fold Increases in hSBA Titers Against the Serogroup B Indicator Strains (H44/76, 5/99, and NZ98/254) and M10713 Strain. [ Time Frame: Day 91 (one month after the second dose of the study vaccine). ]
    Antibody responses were assessed in terms of percentage of subjects achieving 4-fold increase in ELISA concentrations against vaccine antigen 287-953 on Day 91 over baseline (Day 1), following 2 doses of rMenB+OMV NZ, administered on Day 1 and Day 61.

  6. Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) of Antibodies Against Vaccine Antigen 287-953 Following a 2-dose Vaccination Schedule. [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 91 (one month after the second dose of the study vaccine). ]
    Immune responses were measured as Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) GMCs of antibodies against vaccine antigen 287-953 following 2 doses of rMenB+OMV NZ, administered on Day 1 and Day 61.

  7. ELISA GMRs of Antibodies Against Vaccine Antigen 287-953 Following a 2-dose Vaccination Schedule. [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 91 (one month after the second dose of the study vaccine). ]
    Immune responses were measured as ELISA GMRs of antibodies against vaccine antigen 287-953 following 2 doses of rMenB+OMV NZ, administered on Day 1 and Day 61.

  8. Percentage of Subjects With Four-fold Increases in ELISA Concentrations Against the Vaccine Antigen 287-953. [ Time Frame: Day 91 (one month after the second dose of the study vaccine). ]
    Antibody responses were assessed in terms of percentage of subjects achieving 4-fold increase in ELISA concentrations against vaccine antigen 287-953 on Day 91 over baseline (Day 1), following 2 doses of rMenB+OMV NZ, administered on Day 1 and Day 61.

  9. Number Of Subjects With Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs). [ Time Frame: At Day1 through Day 7 after any vaccination and throughout the study period (Day 1 to Day 91) ]
    Safety was assessed as the number of subjects who reported unsolicited AEs collected from Day1 through Day 7 after any vaccination; serious adverse events (SAEs), AEs leading to withdrawal and medically attended AEs were collected throughout the study period (Day1-Day 91).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited Local and Systemic AEs. [ Time Frame: From Day 1 until Day 7 after any vaccination. ]
    Reactogenicity was presented in terms of percentages of subjects reporting solicited local and systemic AEs and other indicators.
