1 Indications And Usage  ⮝

MENVEO is a vaccine indicated for active immunization to prevent invasive meningococcal disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135. MENVEO is approved for use in persons 2 months through 55 years of age.

MENVEO does not prevent N. meningitidis serogroup B infections.

2 Dosage And Administration  ⮝

For intramuscular injection only.

2.1 Reconstitution

MENVEO is supplied in 2 vials that must be combined prior to administration. Use the MenCYW-135 liquid conjugate vaccine component (Vial 1) to reconstitute the MenA lyophilized conjugate vaccine component (Vial 2) to form MENVEO. Invert the vial and shake well until the vaccine is dissolved and then withdraw 0.5 mL of reconstituted product. Following reconstitution, the vaccine is a clear, colorless solution, free from visible foreign particles. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. If any of these conditions exist, MENVEO should not be administered.

Figure 1. Cleanse both vial stoppers. Using a sterile needle and sterile graduated syringe, withdraw the entire contents of Vial 1 containing the MenCYW-135 liquid conjugate component while slightly tilting the vial.	Figure 2. Slowly transfer entire contents of the syringe into Vial 2 containing the MenA lyophilized conjugate component (powder).	Figure 3. Invert the vial and shake well until powder is completely dissolved.	Figure 4. After reconstitution, withdraw 0.5 mL from the vial containing the reconstituted vaccine. Administer intramuscularly.

Please note that it is normal for a small amount of liquid to remain in the vial following withdrawal of the dose. Discard unused portion.

2.2 Administration Instructions

For intramuscular injection only.

After reconstitution, administer MENVEO immediately or store between 36 F and 77 F (2 C and 25 C) for up to 8 hours. Shake well before using. Do not freeze. Discard reconstituted vaccine if it has been frozen or not used within 8 hours.

Use a separate sterile needle and sterile syringe for each individual. Each dose of MENVEO should be administered as a single 0.5-mL intramuscular injection, preferably into the anterolateral aspect of the thigh in infants or into the deltoid muscle (upper arm) in toddlers, adolescents, and adults. Do not administer MENVEO intravenously, subcutaneously, or intradermally.

2.3 Dosing Schedule

The dosing schedule for individuals initiating vaccination is as follows:

Infants 2 Months of Age

MENVEO is to be administered as a 4-dose series at 2, 4, 6, and 12 months of age.

Children 7 Months through 23 Months of Age

MENVEO is to be administered as a 2-dose series with the second dose administered in the second year of life and at least 3 months after the first dose.

Children 2 Years through 10 Years of Age

MENVEO is to be administered as a single dose. For children 2 years through 5 years of age at continued high risk of meningococcal disease, a second dose may be administered 2 months after the first dose.

Adolescents and Adults 11 Years through 55 Years of Age

MENVEO is to be administered as a single dose.

3 Dosage Forms And Strengths  ⮝

MENVEO is a solution for intramuscular injection supplied as a lyophilized MenA conjugate vaccine component to be reconstituted with the accompanying MenCYW-135 liquid conjugate vaccine component. A single dose, after reconstitution, is 0.5 mL. [See Dosage and Administration (2), How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16).]

4 Contraindications  ⮝

Severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) after a previous dose of MENVEO, any component of this vaccine, or any other CRM197-, diphtheria toxoid-, or meningococcal-containing vaccine is a contraindication to administration of MENVEO. [See Description (11).]

5 Warnings And Precautions  ⮝

5.1 Management of Acute Allergic Reactions

Appropriate medical treatment must be available should an acute allergic reaction, including an anaphylactic reaction, occur following administration of MENVEO.

5.2 Syncope

Syncope, sometimes resulting in falling injury associated with seizure-like movements, has been reported following vaccination with MENVEO. Vaccinees should be observed for at least 15 minutes after vaccine administration to prevent and manage syncopal reactions.

5.3 Altered Immunocompetence

Reduced Immune Response

Some individuals with altered immunocompetence, including some individuals receiving immunosuppressant therapy, may have reduced immune responses to MENVEO.

Complement Deficiency

Persons with certain complement deficiencies and persons receiving treatment that inhibits terminal complement activation (for example, eculizumab) are at increased risk for invasive disease caused by N. meningitidis, including invasive disease caused by serogroups A, C, Y, and W, even if they develop antibodies following vaccination with MENVEO. [See Clinical Pharmacology (12.1).]

5.4 Guillain-Barr Syndrome

Guillain-Barr syndrome (GBS) has been reported in temporal relationship following administration of another U.S.-licensed meningococcal quadrivalent polysaccharide conjugate vaccine. The decision to administer MENVEO to subjects with a known history of Guillain-Barr Syndrome should take into account the potential benefits and risks.

5.5 Apnea in Premature Infants

Apnea following intramuscular vaccination has been observed in some infants born prematurely. The decision about when to administer an intramuscular vaccine, including MENVEO, to an infant born prematurely should be based on consideration of the individual infant's medical status, and the potential benefits and possible risks of vaccination.

6 Adverse Reactions  ⮝

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in clinical trials of a vaccine cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another vaccine and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

Children 2 Months through 23 Months of Age

The safety of MENVEO in infants vaccinated at 2, 4, 6, and 12 months of age was evaluated in 3 randomized multicenter clinical studies1-3 conducted in the U.S., Australia, Canada, Taiwan, and several countries of Latin America in which 8,735 infants received at least 1 dose of MENVEO and routine infant vaccines (diphtheria toxoid; acellular pertussis; tetanus toxoid; inactivated polio types 1, 2, and 3; hepatitis B; Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) antigens; pentavalent rotavirus; and 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate). With Dose 4 of MENVEO, toddlers received concomitantly the following vaccines: 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate; measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella; and inactivated hepatitis A. A total of 2,864 infants in these studies received the routine infant/toddler vaccines only. The infants who received MENVEO were Caucasian (33%), Hispanic (44%), African American (8%), Asian (8%), and other racial/ethnic groups (7%); 51% were male, with a mean age of 65.1 days (Standard Deviation [SD]: 7.5 days) at the time of first vaccination.

Safety data for administration of 2 doses of MENVEO in children between 6 through 23 months of age are available from 3 randomized studies1,4,5 conducted in the U.S., Latin America, and Canada, of which one U.S. study specifically addressed the safety of MENVEO administered concomitantly with measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella vaccine (MMRV). The 1,985 older infants and toddlers who received 2 doses of MENVEO were Caucasian (49%), Hispanic (32%), African American (11%), and other racial/ethnic groups (8%), 51% male, with a mean age of 10.1 months (SD: 2.0 months).

Children 2 Years through 10 Years of Age

The safety of MENVEO in children 2 years through 10 years of age was evaluated in 4 clinical trials6-9 conducted in North America (66%), Latin America (28%), and Europe (6%) in which 3,181 subjects received MENVEO and 2,116 subjects received comparator vaccines (either Meningococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine, Groups A, C, Y, and W-135 Combined - MENOMUNE, Sanofi Pasteur [n = 861], or Meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y, and W-135) Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine - MENACTRA, Sanofi Pasteur [n = 1,255]). The subjects 2 years through 10 years of age who received MENVEO were Caucasian (69%), Hispanic (13%), African American (7%), and other racial/ethnic groups (6%), 51% male, with a mean age of 5.2 years. The safety of a second dose of MENVEO administered 2 months following a first dose was studied in 351 children 2 years through 5 years of age.

Adolescents and Adults

The safety of MENVEO in individuals 11 through 55 years of age was evaluated in 5 randomized controlled clinical trials10-14 in which 6,185 participants received MENVEO alone (5,286 participants), MENVEO concomitant with other vaccine(s) (899 participants), or a U.S.-licensed comparator vaccine (1,966 participants). In the concomitant trials11,14 MENVEO was given with vaccines containing: tetanus toxoid, diphtheria toxoid, and pertussis (Tdap), or Tdap with human papillomavirus (HPV). The comparator vaccine was either MENOMUNE (209 participants) or MENACTRA (1,757 participants). The trials were conducted in North America (46%), Latin America (41%), and Europe (13%). In 2 of the studies, subjects received concomitant vaccination with Tdap or with Tdap plus HPV. Overall, subjects were Caucasian (50%), followed by Hispanic (40%), African American (7%), and other racial/ethnic groups (3%). Among recipients of MENVEO, 61%, 17%, and 22% were in the 11- through 18-year, 19- through 34-year, and 35- through 55-year age groups, respectively, with a mean age of 23.5 years (SD: 12.9 years). Among recipients of MENACTRA, 31%, 32%, and 37% were in the 11- through 18-year, 19- through 34-year and 35- through 55-year age groups, respectively, with a mean age of 29.2 years (SD: 13.4 years). Among MENOMUNE recipients, 100% were in the 11- through 18-year age group, and the mean age was 14.2 years (SD: 1.8 years).

In most trials, solicited local and systemic adverse reactions were monitored daily for 7 days following each (one or more) vaccination and recorded on a diary card. Participants were monitored for unsolicited adverse events which included adverse events requiring a physician visit or Emergency Department visit (i.e., medically-attended) or which led to a subject s withdrawal from the study. Among children, adolescents, and adults aged 2 years to 55 years, medically significant adverse events and serious adverse events (SAE) were monitored for 6 months after vaccination. Across the studies of infants and toddlers aged 2 months through 23 months, either all medically-attended or all medically-significant adverse events were collected in the period between the infant dose(s) and the toddler doses and during the 6-month period after the toddler dose.

Solicited Adverse Reactions

The reported frequencies of solicited local and systemic adverse reactions from U.S. infants in the largest multinational safety study of MENVEO2 are presented in Table 1. Among the U.S. participants in the group receiving MENVEO with routine vaccines, 51% were female; 64% were Caucasian, 12% were African American, 15% were Hispanic, 2% were Asian, and 7% were of other racial/ethnic groups.

In infants initiating vaccination at 2 months of age and receiving the 4-dose series, common solicited adverse reactions (>10%) were tenderness (24% to 41%) and erythema at injection site (11% to 15%), irritability (42% to 57%), sleepiness (29% to 50%), persistent crying (21% to 41%), change in eating habits (17% to 23%), vomiting (5% to 11%), and diarrhea (8% to 16%). The rates of solicited adverse reactions reported for subjects aged 2 months and older receiving MENVEO with routine vaccines at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months of age were comparable to rates among subjects who only received routine vaccines.

Table 1: Rates of Solicited Adverse Reactions Reported in U.S. Infants, 2 Months of Age and Older, during the 7 Days following Each Vaccination with MENVEO Administered with Routine Infant/Toddler Vaccines, or Routine Infant/Toddler Vaccines Alone at 2, 4, 6, and 12 Months of Agea

The safety of a second dose of MENVEO administered at 12 months of age concomitantly with MMRV was investigated in a randomized, controlled, multicenter study5 conducted in the U.S. The rates of solicited adverse reactions reported were comparable between the concomitantly administered group (MENVEO with MMRV) and the group which received MMRV alone or MENVEO alone. The frequency and severity of solicited local and systemic reactions occurring within 7 days following vaccination at 12 months of age are shown in Table 2. In subjects who received both MENVEO and MMRV at 12 months of age local reactions at both injection sites were evaluated separately. Body temperature measurements were collected for 28 days following the 12-months-of-age visit, when MMRV was administered to the vaccinees. Common solicited adverse reactions ( 10%) among children initiating vaccination at 7 months through 23 months of age and receiving the 2-dose series were tenderness (10% to 16%) and erythema at injection site (12% to 15%), irritability (27% to 40%), sleepiness (17% to 29%), persistent crying (12% to 21%), change in eating habits (12% to 20%), and diarrhea (10% to 16%). An examination of the fever profile during this period showed that MENVEO administered with MMRV did not increase the frequency or intensity of fever above that observed for the MMRV-only group.

In clinical trials of children 2 years through 10 years of age,6-9 the most frequently occurring adverse reactions (>10%) among all subjects who received MENVEO were injection site pain (31%), erythema (23%), irritability (18%), induration (16%), sleepiness (14%), malaise (12%), and headache (11%). Among subjects 11 years through 55 years of age, the most frequently occurring adverse reactions (>10%) among all subjects who received MENVEO were pain at the injection site (41%), headache (30%), myalgia (18%), malaise (16%), and nausea (10%).

The rates of solicited adverse reactions reported for subjects 2 years through 5 years and 6 years through 10 years of age who received a single dose of MENVEO or MENACTRA in a randomized controlled, multicenter study9 conducted in the U.S. and Canada are shown in Table 3. Following a second dose of MENVEO administered to children 2 years through 5 years of age, the most common solicited adverse reactions ( 10%) were pain at injection site (28%), erythema (22%), irritability (16%), induration (13%), and sleepiness (12%). The solicited adverse events from a separate randomized, controlled, multicenter study conducted in the U.S. in adolescents and adults12 are provided in Tables 4 and 5, respectively. In neither study were concomitant vaccines administered with the study vaccines.

Solicited Adverse Reactions following Concomitant Vaccine Administration

The safety of 4-dose series of MENVEO administered concomitantly with U.S.-licensed routine infant and toddler vaccines was evaluated in one pivotal trial2. The safety of a 2-dose series of MENVEO initiated at 7-9 months of age, with the second dose administered concomitantly with U.S.-licensed MMR and V vaccine at 12 months of age, was evaluated in one pivotal trial.5 Rates of solicited adverse reactions which occurred 7 days following vaccination are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. There was no significant increase in the rates of solicited systemic or local reactions observed in recipients of routine childhood vaccines when concomitantly vaccinated with MENVEO. [See Drug Interactions (7.1).]

The safety of MENVEO administered concomitantly with Tdap and HPV was evaluated in a single-center study14 conducted in Costa Rica. Solicited local and systemic adverse reactions were reported as noted above. In this study, subjects 11 through 18 years of age received MENVEO concomitantly with Tdap and HPV (n = 540), or MENVEO followed 1 month later by Tdap and then 1 month later by HPV (n = 541), or Tdap followed 1 month later by MENVEO and then 1 month later by HPV (n = 539). Some solicited systemic adverse reactions were more frequently reported in the group that received MENVEO, Tdap, and HPV concomitantly, (headache 40%, malaise 25%, myalgia 27%, and arthralgia 17%) compared with the group that first received MENVEO alone (headache 36%, malaise 20%, myalgia 19%, and arthralgia 11%). Among subjects administered MENVEO alone (1 month prior to Tdap), 36% reported headache, 20% malaise, and 16% myalgia. Among subjects administered MENVEO 1 month after Tdap, 27% reported headache, 18% malaise, and 16% myalgia.

Serious Adverse Events in All Safety Studies

Serious adverse events in subjects receiving a 4-dose series of MENVEO at 2, 4, 6, and 12 months were evaluated in 3 randomized multicenter clinical studies.1-3 In the 2 controlled studies,2,3 the proportions of infants randomized to receive the 4-dose series of MENVEO concomitantly with routine vaccinations and infants who received routine vaccinations alone that reported serious adverse events during different study periods were, respectively: a) 2.7% and 2.2%, during the infant series; b) 2.5% and 2.5%, between the infant series and the toddler dose; c) 0.3% and 0.3%, in the 1 month following the toddler dose; and d) 1.6% and 2.2%, during the 6-month follow-up period after the last dose. In the third study,1 which was controlled up to the toddler dose, the proportions of infants randomized to dosing regimens that included receiving 4 doses of MENVEO concomitantly with routine vaccinations at 2, 4, 6, and 12 months and infants who received routine vaccinations alone that reported serious adverse events during different study periods were, respectively: a) 3.5% and 3.6%, during the infant series; and b) 2.8% and 3.3%, between the infant series and the toddler dose; and c) 0.5% and 0.7%, in the 1 month following the toddler dose. In the same study, 1.9% of infants randomized to receive the 4-dose series of MENVEO concomitantly with routine vaccinations reported serious adverse events during the 6-month follow-up period after the toddler dose. The most common serious adverse events reported in these 3 studies were wheezing, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, and convulsions, and most occurred at highest frequency after the infant series.

In a study of older infants5 randomized to receive the 2-dose series of MENVEO concomitantly with MMRV at 12 months of age, the rates of serious adverse events during the study, including the 6-month follow-up period after the last dose, were 3.6% and 3.8%, for the groups receiving MENVEO with MMRV and MENVEO only, respectively. Infants receiving MMRV alone, who had a shorter period of study participation as they were enrolled at 12 months of age, had a lower rate of serious adverse events (1.5%). Among 1,597 study subjects included in the safety population, the most commonly reported serious adverse events in all study arms combined were dehydration (0.4%) and gastroenteritis (0.3%). Across the submitted studies of individuals 2 through 23 months of age, within 28 days of vaccination, 2 deaths were reported in the groups receiving MENVEO (one case of sudden death and one case of sepsis), while no deaths were reported in the control group. None of the deaths was assessed as related to vaccination. Among subjects with symptom onset within 42 days of vaccination (Days 12, 25, 29), 3/12,049 [0.02%, 95% CI: (0.01%, 0.07%)] recipients of MENVEO and 0/2,877 [0%, 95% CI: (0%, 0.13%)] control recipients were diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease. One case of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis with symptom onset 29 days post-Dose 4 was observed in a participant given MENVEO coadministered with routine U.S. childhood vaccines at 12 months of age (including MMR and varicella vaccines).

The information regarding serious adverse events in subjects 2 years through 10 years of age was derived from 3 randomized, controlled clinical trials.7-9 Safety follow-up ranged from 6 months through 12 months and included 2,883 subjects administered MENVEO. Serious adverse events reported during the safety follow-up periods occurred in 21/2,883 (0.7%) subjects receiving MENVEO, in 7/1,255 (0.6%) MENACTRA subjects, and 2/861 (0.2%) MENOMUNE subjects. In the subjects receiving either 1 or 2 doses of MENVEO, there were 6 subjects with pneumonia, 3 subjects with appendicitis, and 2 subjects with dehydration; all other events were reported to occur in one subject. Among 1,255 subjects administered a single dose of MENACTRA and 861 subjects administered MENOMUNE, there were no events reported to occur in more than 1 subject. The serious adverse events occurring within the first 30 days after receipt of each vaccine were as follows: MENVEO (6/2,883 [0.2%]) appendicitis, pneumonia, staphylococcal infection, dehydration, febrile convulsion, and tonic convulsion; MENACTRA (1/1255 [0.1%]) inguinal hernia; MENOMUNE (2/861 [0.2%]) abdominal pain, lobar pneumonia. In a supportive study,6 298 subjects received 1 or 2 doses of MENVEO and 22 (7%) had serious adverse events over a 13-month follow-up period including 13 subjects with varicella and 2 subjects with laryngitis. All other events were reported to occur in 1 subject. During the 30 days post vaccination in this study, 1 limb injury and 1 case of varicella were reported.

The information regarding serious adverse events in subjects 11 years through 55 years of age was derived from 5 randomized, controlled clinical trials.10-14 Serious adverse events reported within 6 months of vaccination occurred in 40/6,185 (0.6%) subjects receiving MENVEO, 13/1,757 (0.7%) MENACTRA subjects, and 5/209 (2.4%) MENOMUNE subjects. During the 6 months following immunization, serious adverse events reported by more than 1 subject were as follows: MENVEO - appendicitis (3 subjects), road traffic accident (3 subjects), and suicide attempt (5 subjects); MENACTRA - intervertebral disc protrusion (2 subjects); MENOMUNE - none. Serious adverse events that occurred within 30 days of vaccination were reported by 7 of 6,185 (0.1%) subjects in the group receiving MENVEO, 4 of 1,757 (0.2%) subjects in the MENACTRA group, and by none of 209 subjects in the MENOMUNE group. The events that occurred during the first 30 days post immunization with MENVEO were: vitello-intestinal duct remnant, Cushing s syndrome, viral hepatitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, intentional multiple drug overdose, simple partial seizure, and suicidal depression. The events that occurred during the first 30 days post immunization with MENACTRA were: herpes zoster, fall, intervertebral disc protrusion, and angioedema.

6.2 Postmarketing Experience

In addition to reports in clinical trials, worldwide voluntary reports of adverse events received for MENVEO in persons 11 through 55 years of age since market introduction of this vaccine are listed below. This list includes serious events or events which have plausible causal connection to MENVEO. Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to the vaccine.

Postmarketing Observational Safety Study

In a postmarketing observational safety study conducted in a United States health maintenance organization, data from electronic health records of 48,899 persons 11 through 21 years of age were used to evaluate pre-specified events of interest following vaccination with MENVEO. Using a self-controlled case series method, Bell s palsy showed a statistically significant increased risk in the period 1 to 84 days post vaccination compared with the control period, with an overall adjusted relative incidence of 2.9 (95% CI: 1.1-7.5). Among the 8 reported cases of Bell s palsy, 6 cases occurred in persons who received MENVEO concomitantly with one or more of the following vaccines: Tdap, HPV, and Influenza vaccine. All reported Bell s palsy cases resolved.

7 Drug Interactions  ⮝

7.1 Concomitant Administration with Other Vaccines

Do not mix MENVEO or any of its components with any other vaccine or diluent in the same syringe or vial.

In 2 clinical trials of infants initiating vaccination at 2 months of age,1,3 MENVEO was given concomitantly at 2, 4, and 6 months with routine infant vaccines: diphtheria toxoid; acellular pertussis; tetanus toxoid; inactivated polio types 1, 2, and 3; hepatitis B; Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) antigens; pentavalent rotavirus; and 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. For Dose 4 given at 12 months of age, MENVEO was given concomitantly with the following vaccines: 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate, MMRV, or MMR+V, and inactivated hepatitis A. In a clinical trial of older infants ( 7 months of age) and toddlers,5 MENVEO was administered concomitantly with MMRV or MMR+V vaccine(s) at 12 months of age. No immune interference was observed for the concomitantly administered vaccines, including most pneumococcal vaccine serotypes (post Dose 3); no immune interference was observed post Dose 4 for any pneumococcal vaccine serotypes.1,3 [See Clinical Studies (14.5).]

For children 2 years through 10 years of age, no data are available to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of other childhood vaccines when administered concomitantly with MENVEO.

In a clinical trial in adolescents,14 MENVEO was given concomitantly with the following: Tdap and HPV; no interference was observed in meningococcal immune responses when compared with MENVEO given alone. Lower geometric mean antibody concentrations (GMCs) for antibodies to the pertussis antigens filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) and pertactin were observed when MENVEO was administered concomitantly with Tdap and HPV as compared with Tdap alone. [See Clinical Studies (14.5).]

7.2 Immunosuppressive Treatments

Immunosuppressive therapies, such as irradiation, antimetabolite medications, alkylating agents, cytotoxic drugs, and corticosteroids (when used in greater than physiologic doses) may reduce the immune response to MENVEO [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. The immunogenicity of MENVEO has not been evaluated in persons receiving such therapies.

8 Use In Specific Populations  ⮝

8.1 Pregnancy

Pregnancy Category B

Reproduction studies have been performed in female rabbits at a dose of approximately 20 times the human dose (on a mg/kg basis) and have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to MENVEO. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, MENVEO should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.

Nonclinical Studies

The effect of MENVEO on embryo-fetal and post-natal development was evaluated in pregnant rabbits. Animals were administered MENVEO 3 times prior to gestation, during the period of organogenesis (gestation Day 7) and later in pregnancy (gestation Day 20), 0.5 mL/rabbit/occasion (approximately 20-fold excess relative to the projected human dose on a body weight basis) by intramuscular injections. There were no adverse effects attributable to the vaccine on mating, female fertility, pregnancy, or embryo-fetal development. There were no vaccine-related fetal malformations or other evidence of teratogenesis noted in this study.

Clinical Studies

To date, no clinical trials have been specifically designed to evaluate the use of MENVEO in pregnant or lactating women.

Among the 5,065 women in the adolescent and adult populations enrolled in the studies, 43 women were found to be pregnant during the 6-month follow-up period after vaccination. Of these, 37 pregnancies occurred among 3,952 recipients of MENVEO (7 spontaneous abortions, no congenital anomalies). Six pregnancies occurred among 1,113 MENACTRA recipients (no spontaneous abortions, 1 congenital anomaly [hydrocephalus]).

Among the 7 subjects with adverse pregnancy outcomes who had received MENVEO, the estimated dates of conception were 5 days prior to vaccination (1 subject), 6 to 17 weeks post vaccination (5 subjects), and 6 months post vaccination (1 subject). In the subject who had received MENACTRA, the estimated date of conception was approximately 15 weeks post immunization.

Safety and effectiveness of MENVEO have not been established in pregnant women.

Pregnancy Registry for MENVEO

GlaxoSmithKline maintains a surveillance registry to collect data on pregnancy outcomes and newborn health status outcomes following exposure to MENVEO during pregnancy. Women who receive MENVEO during pregnancy should be encouraged to contact GlaxoSmithKline directly or their healthcare provider should contact GlaxoSmithKline by calling 1-877-413-4759.

8.3 Nursing Mothers

It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when MENVEO is administered to a nursing woman. No studies have been conducted to assess the impact of MENVEO on milk production, its presence in breast milk, or its effects on the breastfed child.

8.4 Pediatric Populations

Safety and effectiveness of MENVEO in children younger than 2 months of age have not been established.

8.5 Geriatric Populations

Safety and effectiveness of MENVEO in adults 65 years of age and older have not been established.

11 Description  ⮝

MENVEO [Meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y, and W-135) Oligosaccharide Diphtheria CRM197 Conjugate Vaccine] is a sterile liquid vaccine administered by intramuscular injection that contains N. meningitidis serogroup A, C, Y, and W-135 oligosaccharides conjugated individually to Corynebacterium diphtheriae CRM197 protein. The polysaccharides are produced by bacterial fermentation of N. meningitidis (serogroups A, C, Y, or W-135). N. meningitidis strains A, C, Y, and W-135 are each cultured and grown on Franz Complete medium and treated with formaldehyde. MenA, MenW-135, and MenY polysaccharides are purified by several extraction and precipitation steps. MenC polysaccharide is purified by a combination of chromatography and precipitation steps.

The protein carrier (CRM197) is produced by bacterial fermentation and is purified by a series of chromatography and ultrafiltration steps. C. diphtheriae is cultured and grown on CY medium containing yeast extracts and amino acids.

The oligosaccharides are prepared for conjugation from purified polysaccharides by hydrolysis, sizing, and reductive amination. After activation, each oligosaccharide is covalently linked to the CRM197 protein. The resulting glycoconjugates are purified to yield the 4 drug substances, which compose the final vaccine. The vaccine contains no preservative or adjuvant. Each dose of vaccine contains 10 mcg MenA oligosaccharide; 5 mcg of each of MenC, MenY, and MenW-135 oligosaccharides; and 32.7 to 64.1 mcg CRM197 protein. Residual formaldehyde per dose is estimated to be not more than 0.30 mcg.

The vials in which the vaccine components are contained are composed of Type I glass, USP.

The container closures (synthetic rubber stoppers) are not made with natural rubber latex.

12 Clinical Pharmacology  ⮝

12.1 Mechanism of Action

Neisseria meningitidis is a gram-negative diplococcus that causes life-threatening invasive disease such as meningitis and sepsis. Globally, 5 serogroups, A, B, C, Y, and W-135 cause almost all invasive meningococcal infections. The presence of serum bactericidal antibodies protects against invasive meningococcal disease.16 Vaccination with MENVEO leads to the production of bactericidal antibodies directed against the capsular polysaccharides of serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135.

13 Nonclinical Toxicology  ⮝

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

MENVEO has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of male fertility.

14 Clinical Studies  ⮝

For all age groups, effectiveness has been inferred from the measurement of serogroup-specific anticapsular antibodies with bactericidal activity using pooled human serum that lacked bactericidal activity as the source of exogenous complement (hSBA). In the absence of a licensed comparator vaccine for use in infants, the pre-specified endpoint for effectiveness of MENVEO in U.S. infants receiving a 4- dose series at 2, 4, 6, and 12 months of age was the proportion of subjects achieving an hSBA 1:8, with the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% CI for the point estimate being 80% of vaccinees for serogroup A, and 85% of vaccinees for serogroups C, W-135, and Y 1 month following the final dose.

The effectiveness of MENVEO in subjects 2 years through 55 years of age was assessed by comparing the hSBA responses to immunization with MENVEO to those following immunization with the licensed meningococcal quadrivalent conjugate vaccine MENACTRA.

The primary effectiveness endpoint was hSBA seroresponse to each serogroup 28 days after vaccination. Seroresponse was defined as: a) post-vaccination hSBA 1:8 for subjects with a baseline hSBA <1:4; or, b) at least 4-fold higher than baseline titers for subjects with a pre-vaccination hSBA 1:4. Secondary endpoints included the proportion of subjects with post-vaccination hSBA 1:8 and the hSBA Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) for each serogroup. In a separate group of children 2 years through 5 years of age randomized to receive 2 doses of MENVEO administered 2 months apart, seroresponse rate, proportion with post-vaccination hSBA 1:8 and GMT were determined for each serogroup.

14.1 Immunogenicity in Infants

The effectiveness of MENVEO in infants was assessed in a randomized, controlled, multicenter study.3 Among the subjects receiving MENVEO who were included in the per-protocol analysis, the mean age at enrollment was 65 days, 51% were male, 67% were Caucasian, 6% were African American, 15% were Hispanic, 2% were Asian, and 9% were noted as other racial/ethnic groups. The pre-defined criteria for immunogenicity were met for all 4 serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y at 1 month following completion of a 4-dose series at 2, 4, 6, and 12 months of age (Table 6).

The percentage of subjects with hSBA 1:8 at 7 months was 94% to 98% for serogroups C, W-135, and Y and 76% for serogroup A.

The effectiveness of 2 doses of MENVEO given at 7-9 months and 12 months of age was assessed in a randomized, multicenter, controlled clinical trial5 conducted in the U.S. This study also investigated the concomitant administration of MENVEO and MMRV. The per-protocol population for assessing the response to 2 doses of MENVEO consisted of 386 subjects. Among subjects who completed the per-protocol analysis, their mean age at enrollment was 8.5 months (SD: 0.8 months), 50% were male; 61% were Caucasian, 15% were Hispanic, 10% were African American, 4% were Asian, and 10% were noted as other racial/ethnic groups.

Among the per-protocol population, after MENVEO administered at 7-9 and at 12 months, the proportions of subjects with hSBA 1:8 for serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y were respectively: 88% (84-91), 100% (98-100), 98% (96-100), 96% (93-99).

14.2 Immunogenicity in Children

Effectiveness in subjects 2 years through 10 years of age was evaluated in a randomized, multicenter, active-controlled clinical study9 comparing hSBA responses following 1 dose of MENVEO or MENACTRA. The study was conducted in the U.S. and Canada and was stratified by age (2 years through 5 years and 6 years through 10 years). The per-protocol population evaluated after a single dose of vaccine consisted of 1,170 subjects who received MENVEO and 1,161 who received MENACTRA (Table 7) and included serological results for 89% to 95% of subjects, depending on serogroup and age group. Demographics for the 616 and 619 subjects 2 through 5 years of age for MENVEO and MENACTRA were as follows: mean age 3.6 years (SD: 1.1) vs. 3.6 years (SD: 1.1), 51% vs. 52% male, 62% vs. 62% Caucasian, 14% vs. 13% Hispanic, 12% vs. 13% African American, 6% vs. 4% Asian, and 7% vs. 8% other racial/ethnic groups. Demographics were for 554 and 542 per-protocol subjects 6 through 10 years of age for MENVEO and MENACTRA were as follows: mean age 7.9 years (SD: 1.4) vs. 8.1 years (SD: 1.4), 52% vs. 56% male, 66% vs. 66% Caucasian, 14% vs. 14% African American, 7% vs. 7% Hispanic, 5% vs. 6% Asian, and 8% vs. 8% other racial/ethnic groups. In a separate group of children 2 years through 5 years of age randomized to receive two doses of MENVEO administered 2 months apart, the per-protocol population evaluated after 2 doses of MENVEO consisted of 297 subjects and included serologic results for 96% to 99% of subjects, depending on serogroup.

In study participants 2 years through 5 years and 6 years through 10 years of age, non-inferiority of MENVEO to MENACTRA for the proportion of subjects with a seroresponse was demonstrated for serogroups C, W-135, and Y, but not for serogroup A (Table 7).

In the 297 per-protocol subjects 2 years through 5 years of age observed at 1 month after the second dose of MENVEO, the proportions of subjects with seroresponse (95% CI) were: 91% (87-94), 98% (95-99), 89% (85-92), and 95% (91-97) for serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y, respectively. The proportion of subjects with hSBA 1:8 (95% CI) were 91% (88-94), 99% (97-100), 99% (98-100), and 98% (95-99) for serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y, respectively. The hSBA GMTs (95% CI) for this group were 64 (51-81), 144 (118-177), 132 (111-157), and 102 (82-126) for serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y, respectively.

14.3 Immunogenicity in Adolescents

Effectiveness in subjects 11 through 55 years of age was evaluated in a randomized, multicenter, active-controlled clinical study12 comparing the hSBA responses following 1 dose of MENVEO or MENACTRA. The study was conducted in the U.S. and stratified by age (11 through 18 years of age and 19 through 55 years of age). This study enrolled 3,539 participants, who were randomized to receive a dose of MENVEO (n = 2,663) or MENACTRA (n = 876). Among subjects who completed the per-protocol evaluation for immunogenicity (n = 3,393, MENVEO = 2,549, MENACTRA = 844), demographics for subjects receiving MENVEO and MENACTRA, respectively, were as follows: mean age 23.9 (SD: 13.6) vs. 23.7 (SD: 13.7), 42% vs. 42% male, 79% vs. 78% Caucasian, 8% vs. 9% African American, 7% vs. 7% Hispanic, 3% vs. 3% Asian, 2% vs. 3% other racial/ethnic groups. Immunogenicity for each serogroup was assessed in a subset of study participants (Tables 8 and 10).

In study participants 11 through 18 years of age, non-inferiority of MENVEO to MENACTRA was demonstrated for all 4 serogroups for the proportion of subjects with a seroresponse (Table 8).

14.5 Immunogenicity of Concomitantly Administered Vaccines

In U.S. infants1,3 who received MENVEO concomitantly with DTaP-IPV-Hib and PCV7 at 2, 4, and 6 months of age and HBV administered according to ACIP recommendations, there was no evidence for reduced antibody response to pertussis antigens (GMC to pertussis toxin, filamentous hemagglutinin, fimbriae, and pertactin), diphtheria toxoid (antibody levels 0.1 IU/mL), tetanus toxoid (antibody levels 0.1 IU/mL), poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 (neutralizing antibody levels 1:8 to each virus), Haemophilus influenzae type b (anti-PRP antibody 0.15 mcg/mL), hepatitis B (anti-hepatitis B surface antigen 10 mIU/mL), or most serotypes of PCV7 (antibody levels 0.35 mcg/mL) relative to the response in infants administered DTaP-IPV-Hib, PCV7, and HBV. The immune responses to DTaP-IPV-Hib, PCV7, and HBV were evaluated 1 month following Dose 3.1,3 No interference was observed for pertussis based on GMC ratios, or for the other concomitantly administered vaccines, with the exception of pneumococcal serotype 6B1,3 and 23F3, for which interference was suggested post Dose 3. No interference was observed post Dose 4 for these serotypes.1,3

There was no evidence for interference in the immune response to MMR and varicella vaccines (among initially seronegative children) in terms of percentages of children with anti-measles antibodies 255 mIU/mL, anti-mumps 10 ELISA antibody units, anti-rubella 10 IU/mL, and anti-varicella 5 gp ELISA units/mL, administered at 12 months of age5 concomitantly with MENVEO relative to these vaccines administered alone. The immune responses to MMR and varicella vaccines were evaluated 6 weeks post vaccination.

For children 2 years through 10 years of age, no data are available for evaluating safety and immunogenicity of other childhood vaccines when administered concomitantly with MENVEO.

For individuals 11 through 18 years of age, the effect of concomitant administration of MENVEO with Tdap and HPV was evaluated in a study14 conducted in Costa Rica (see also section 6.1 for the safety results from this trial). Subjects were randomized to receive one of the following regimens at the start of the trial: MENVEO plus Tdap plus HPV (n = 540); MENVEO alone (n = 541); Tdap alone (n = 539). Subjects were healthy adolescents 11 through 18 years of age (mean age between groups was 13.8 to 13.9 years). For antigens of MENVEO, the proportion (95% CI) of subjects achieving an hSBA seroresponse among those who received MENVEO plus Tdap plus HPV vs. MENVEO alone, respectively, were: serogroup A 80% (76, 84) vs. 82% (78, 85); serogroup C 83% (80, 87) vs. 84% (80, 87); serogroup W-135 77% (73, 80) vs. 81% (77, 84); serogroup Y 83% (79, 86) vs. 82% (79, 86). Among subjects who received Tdap plus MENVEO plus HPV, compared with Tdap alone, the proportions (95% CI) of subjects who achieved an anti-tetanus or anti-diphtheria toxoids levels 1.0 IU/mL in the 2 groups, respectively, were 100% (99, 100) vs. 98% (96, 99) and 100% (99, 100) vs. 100% (99, 100). For pertussis antigens, among subjects who received Tdap plus MENVEO plus HPV, compared with Tdap alone, the responses respectively for anti-pertussis toxin GMCs (95% CI) were 51 (47, 55) vs. 63 (58, 69) ELISA Units (EU)/mL, for anti-filamentous hemagglutinin were 342 (310, 376) vs. 511 (464, 563) EU/mL, and for anti-pertactin were 819 (727, 923) vs. 1,197 (1,061, 1,350) EU/mL. Because there are no established serological correlates of protection for pertussis, the clinical implications of the lower pertussis antigen responses are unknown.
