The purpose of the study was to evaluate the immunogenicity and describe the safety of a single dose of Meningococcal Polysaccharide (Serogroups A, C, Y and W) Tetanus Toxoid (MenACYW) Conjugate vaccine compared to the licensed Meningococcal polysaccharide groups A, C, W-135 and Y (Nimenrix®) Conjugate vaccine in toddlers 12 to 23 months of age in the European Union (EU). The toddlers were either meningococcal vaccine naïve or had received monovalent meningococcal C (MenC) vaccination during infancy to evaluate any potential impact of the meningococcal vaccine background on the immunogenicity and safety profile of the investigational product. Primary Objectives: * To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody response to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a single dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® in toddlers who either were meningococcal vaccine naïve or had received monovalent MenC vaccination during infancy. * To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody response to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a single dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® in meningococcal vaccine naïve toddlers. Secondary Objectives: * To compare the antibody responses (geometric mean titers \[GMTs\]) to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® as measured by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) in toddlers who either were meningococcal vaccine naïve or had received monovalent MenC vaccination during infancy. * To compare the antibody responses (GMTs) to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® as measured by hSBA in meningococcal vaccine naïve toddlers. * To compare the antibody responses (GMTs) to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® as measured by hSBA in toddlers who received monovalent MenC vaccination during infancy.
Healthy toddlers were randomized depending on their meningococcal priming vaccination background (either meningococcal vaccine naïve or primed with MenC) and received a single dose of either MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix®. They were assessed for immunogenicity at baseline (pre-vaccination) and 30 to 44 days post-vaccination. Safety information were collected post-vaccination and throughout the entire study.

Percentage of Participants With Antibody Titers Greater Than or Equal to (>=) 1:8 Against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W in Toddlers Who Either Were Meningococcal Vaccine Naïve or Had Received Monovalent MenC Vaccination During Infancy
Antibody titers against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W were measured by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA). Data for this outcome measure were planned to be analyzed for the pooled population of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine and Nimenrix® reporting groups.
Time frame: Day 30 (post-vaccination)
Percentage of Participants With Antibody Titers >=1:8 Against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W Following Vaccination With MenACYW Conjugate Vaccine or Nimenrix® in Meningococcal Vaccine Naïve Toddlers
Antibody titers against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W were measured by hSBA.
Time frame: Day 30 (post-vaccination)
Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Antibodies Against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W in Toddlers Who Either Were Meningococcal Vaccine Naïve or Had Received Monovalent MenC Vaccination During Infancy
Antibody titers against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W were measured by hSBA.
Time frame: Day 30 (post-vaccination)
Geometric Mean Titers of Antibodies Against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W Following Vaccination With MenACYW Conjugate Vaccine or Nimenrix® in Vaccine Naive Toddlers
Antibody titers against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W were measured by hSBA.
Time frame: Day 30 (post-vaccination)
