Indicated for: prevention of meningococcal disease
Route of administration: injectable
Substance: group A, C, W135 and Y conjugated meningococcal vaccine (vaccine)
ATC: J07AH08 (Antiinfectives for systemic use | Bacterial vaccines | Meningococcal vaccines)
The meningococcal conjugate vaccine for groups A, C, W135, and Y is used to prevent infections caused by Neisseria meningitidis, a bacterium that can cause meningitis and septicemia. The vaccine contains capsular polysaccharides from these serogroups, linked to a carrier protein, which stimulates a stronger and longer-lasting immune response.
The vaccine is administered intramuscularly, usually in a single dose, and is recommended for adolescents, individuals traveling to endemic areas, and those at increased risk of infection, such as students living in dormitories or pilgrims traveling to high-risk regions.
Common side effects include pain at the injection site, mild fever, fatigue, and headache. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions may occur.
The meningococcal conjugate vaccine for groups A, C, W135, and Y is an essential preventive measure for reducing the incidence of meningococcal diseases and their severe complications, helping to protect public health.

Nimenrix is indicated for active immunisation of individuals from the age of 6 weeks against invasivemeningococcal disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis groups A, C, W-135, and Y.
Nimenrix should be used in accordance with available official recommendations.
Primary immunisationInfants from 6 weeks to less than 6 months of age: two doses, each of 0.5 ml, should be administeredwith an interval of 2 months between doses.
Infants from 6 months of age, children, adolescents and adults: a single 0.5 mL dose should beadministered.
An additional primary dose of Nimenrix may be considered appropriate for some individuals (seesection 4.4).
Booster dosesLong-term antibody persistence data following vaccination with Nimenrix are available up to 10 yearsafter vaccination (see sections 4.4 and 5.1).
After completion of the primary immunisation course in infants 6 weeks to less than 12 months of age,a booster dose should be given at 12 months of age with an interval of at least 2 months after the last
Nimenrix vaccination (see section 5.1).
In previously vaccinated individuals 12 months of age and older, Nimenrix may be given as a boosterdose if they have received primary vaccination with a conjugated or plain polysaccharidemeningococcal vaccine (see sections 4.4 and 5.1).
Method of administrationImmunisation should be carried out by intramuscular injection only.
In infants, the recommended injection site is the anterolateral aspect of the thigh. In individuals from1 year of age, the recommended injection site is the anterolateral aspect of the thigh or the deltoidmuscle (see sections 4.4 and 4.5).
For instructions on reconstitution of the medicinal product before administration, see section 6.6.
Hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.
In order to improve the traceability of biological medicinal products, the name and the batch numberof the administered product should be clearly recorded.
Nimenrix should under no circumstances be administered intravascularly, intradermally orsubcutaneously.
It is good clinical practice to precede vaccination by a review of the medical history (especially withregard to previous vaccination and possible occurrence of undesirable effects) and a clinicalexamination.
Appropriate medical treatment and supervision should always be readily available in case of a rareanaphylactic event following the administration of the vaccine.
Intercurrent illnessVaccination with Nimenrix should be postponed in subjects suffering from an acute severe febrileillness. The presence of a minor infection, such as a cold, should not result in the deferral ofvaccination.
SyncopeSyncope (fainting) can occur following, or even before, any vaccination especially in adolescents asa psychogenic response to the needle injection. This can be accompanied by several neurologicalsigns such as transient visual disturbance, paraesthesia and tonic-clonic limb movements duringrecovery. It is important that procedures are in place to avoid injury from faints.
Thrombocytopenia and coagulation disordersNimenrix should be given with caution to individuals with thrombocytopenia or any coagulationdisorder since bleeding may occur following an intramuscular administration to these subjects.
Immunodeficiency
It may be expected that in patients receiving immunosuppressive treatment or patients withimmunodeficiency, an adequate immune response may not be elicited.
Persons with familial complement deficiencies (for example, C5 or C3 deficiencies) and personsreceiving treatments that inhibit terminal complement activation (for example, eculizumab) are atincreased risk for invasive disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis groups A, C, W-135 and Y, evenif they develop antibodies following vaccination with Nimenrix.
Protection against meningococcal diseaseNimenrix will only confer protection against Neisseria meningitidis groups A, C, W-135 and Y. Thevaccine will not protect against any other Neisseria meningitidis groups.
A protective immune response may not be elicited in all vaccinees.
Effect of prior vaccination with plain polysaccharide meningococcal vaccineSubjects previously vaccinated with a plain polysaccharide meningococcal vaccine and vaccinatedwith Nimenrix 30 to 42 months later had lower Geometric Mean Titres (GMTs) measured with aserum bactericidal assay using rabbit complement (rSBA) than subjects who had not been vaccinatedwith any meningococcal vaccine in the preceding 10 years (see section 5.1). The clinical relevance ofthis observation is unknown.
Effect of pre-vaccination antibody to tetanus toxoidThe safety and immunogenicity of Nimenrix was evaluated when it was sequentially administered orco-administered with a vaccine containing, diphtheria and tetanus toxoids, acellular pertussis,inactivated polioviruses (1, 2 and 3), hepatitis B surface antigen and Haemophilus influenzae type bpolyribosyl ribose phosphate conjugated to tetanus toxoid (DTaP-HBV-IPV/Hib) in the second year oflife. The administration of Nimenrix one month after the DTaP-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine resulted inlower rSBA GMTs against groups A, C and W-135 compared with co-administration (see section 4.5).
The clinical relevance of this observation is unknown.
Immune response in infants aged 6 months to less than 12 monthsA single dose administered at 6 months was associated with lower human complement serumbactericidal assay (hSBA) titres to groups W-135 and Y compared with three doses administered at 2,4, and 6 months (see section 5.1). The clinical relevance of this observation is unknown. If an infantaged 6 months to less than 12 months is expected to be at particular risk of invasive meningococcaldisease due to exposure to groups W-135 and/or Y, consideration may be given to administering asecond primary dose of Nimenrix after an interval of 2 months.
Immune responses in toddlers aged 12-14 monthsToddlers aged 12-14 months had similar rSBA titres to groups A, C, W-135 and Y at one month afterone dose of Nimenrix or at one month after two doses of Nimenrix given two months apart.
A single dose was associated with lower hSBA titres to groups W-135 and Y compared with twodoses given two months apart. Similar responses to groups A and C were observed after one or twodoses (see section 5.1). The clinical relevance of this observation is unknown. If a toddler is expectedto be at particular risk of invasive meningococcal disease due to exposure to groups W-135 and/or Y,consideration may be given to administering a second dose of Nimenrix after an interval of 2 months.
Regarding waning of antibody against group A or group C after a first dose of Nimenrix in childrenaged 12-23 months, see under Persistence of serum bactericidal antibody titres.
Persistence of serum bactericidal antibody titresFollowing administration of Nimenrix there is a waning of serum bactericidal antibody titres againstgroup A when using hSBA (see section 5.1). The clinical relevance of this observation is unknown.
However, if an individual is expected to be at particular risk of exposure to group A and received adose of Nimenrix more than approximately one year previously, consideration may be given toadministering a booster dose.
A decline in antibody titres over time has been observed for groups A, C, W-135 and Y. The clinicalrelevance of this observation is unknown. A booster dose might be considered in individualsvaccinated at toddler age remaining at high risk of exposure to meningococcal disease caused bygroups A, C, W-135 or Y (see section 5.1).
Effect of Nimenrix on anti-tetanus antibody concentrationsAlthough an increase of the anti-tetanus toxoid (TT) antibody concentrations was observed followingvaccination with Nimenrix, Nimenrix does not substitute for tetanus immunisation.
Giving Nimenrix with or one month before a TT-containing vaccine in the second year of life does notimpair the response to TT or significantly affect safety. No data are available beyond the age of2 years.
Sodium contentThis vaccine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose, that is to say essentially‘sodium-free’.
In infants, Nimenrix can be given concomitantly with combined DTaP-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccines andwith 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
From age 1 year and above, Nimenrix can be given concomitantly with any of the following vaccines:hepatitis A (HAV) and hepatitis B (HBV) vaccines, measles - mumps - rubella (MMR) vaccine,measles - mumps - rubella - varicella (MMRV) vaccine, 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine orunadjuvanted seasonal influenza vaccine.
In the second year of life, Nimenrix can also be given concomitantly with combined diphtheria -tetanus - acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccines, including combination DTaP vaccines with hepatitis B,inactivated poliovirus or Haemophilus influenzae type b (HBV, IPV or Hib) such as DTaP-HBV-
IPV/Hib vaccine, and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
In individuals aged 9 to 25 years, Nimenrix can be given concomitantly with human papillomavirusbivalent [Type 16 and 18] vaccine, recombinant (HPV2).
Whenever possible, Nimenrix and a TT-containing vaccine, such as DTaP-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine,should be co-administered or Nimenrix should be administered at least one month before the TT-containing vaccine.
One month after co-administration with a 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, lower
Geometric Mean antibody Concentrations (GMCs) and opsonophagocytic assay (OPA) antibody
GMTs were observed for one pneumococcal serotype (18C conjugated to tetanus toxoid carrierprotein). The clinical relevance of this observation is unknown. There was no impact ofco-administration on immune responses to the other nine pneumococcal serotypes.
One month after co-administration with a combined tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid andacellular pertussis vaccine, adsorbed (Tdap) in subjects aged 9 to 25 years, lower GMCs wereobserved to each pertussis antigen (pertussis toxoid [PT], filamentous haemagglutinin [FHA] andpertactin [PRN]). More than 98% of subjects had anti-PT, FHA or PRN concentrations above theassay cut-off thresholds. The clinical relevance of these observations is unknown. There was noimpact of co-administration on immune responses to Nimenrix or the tetanus or diphtheria antigensincluded in Tdap.
If Nimenrix is to be given at the same time as another injectable vaccine, the vaccines should alwaysbe administered at different injection sites.
It may be expected that in patients receiving immunosuppressive treatment, an adequate response maynot be elicited.
There is limited experience with use of Nimenrix in pregnant women.
Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to pregnancy,embryo/foetal development, parturition or post-natal development (see section 5.3).
Nimenrix should be used during pregnancy only when clearly needed, and the possible advantagesoutweigh the potential risks for the foetus.
Breast-feedingIt is unknown whether Nimenrix is excreted in human milk.
Nimenrix should only be used during breast-feeding when the possible advantages outweigh thepotential risks.
FertilityAnimal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to fertility.
No studies on the effects of Nimenrix on the ability to drive and use machines have been performed.
However, some of the effects mentioned under section 4.8 “Undesirable effects” may affect the abilityto drive or use machines.
The safety of Nimenrix presented in the table below is based on two clinical study datasets as follows:
- A pooled analysis of data from 9,621 subjects administered a single dose of Nimenrix. This totalincluded 3,079 toddlers (12 months to 23 months), 909 children between 2 and 5 years of age,990 children between 6 and 10 years of age, 2,317 adolescents (11 to 17 years) and 2,326 adults(18 to 55 years).
- Data from a study in infants aged 6 to 12 weeks at the time of the first dose (Study
MenACWY-TT-083), 1,052 subjects received at least one dose of a primary series of 2 or 3doses of Nimenrix and 1,008 received a booster dose at approximately 12 months of age.
Safety data have also been evaluated in a separate study, in which a single dose of Nimenrix wasadministered to 274 individuals aged 56 years and older.
Local and general adverse reactionsIn the 6-12 weeks and in the 12-14 months age groups who received 2 doses of Nimenrix given2 months apart, the first and second doses were associated with similar local and systemicreactogenicity.
The local and general adverse reaction profile of a booster dose of Nimenrix given to subjects from12 months through 30 years of age after primary vaccination with Nimenrix or other conjugated orplain polysaccharide meningococcal vaccines, was similar to the local and general adverse reactionprofile observed after primary vaccination with Nimenrix, except for gastrointestinal symptoms(including diarrhoea, vomiting, and nausea), which were very common among subjects 6 years of ageand older.
Tabulated list of adverse reactionsAdverse reactions reported are listed according to the following frequency categories:
Very common: (≥ 1/10)
Common: (≥ 1/100 to <1/10)
Uncommon: (≥ 1/1,000 to <1/100)
Rare: (≥ 1/10,000 to <1/1,000)
Very rare: (<1/10,000)
Not known (cannot be estimated from available data)
Table 1 shows the adverse reactions reported from the studies in subjects aged from 6 weeks up to55 years of age and post-marketing experience. Adverse reactions reported in subjects aged >55 yearswere similar to those observed in younger adults.

No case of overdose has been reported.
Pharmacotherapeutic group: vaccines, meningococcal vaccines, ATC code: J07AH08
Mechanism of actionAnti-capsular meningococcal antibodies protect against meningococcal disease via complementmediated bactericidal activity. Nimenrix induces the production of bactericidal antibodies againstcapsular polysaccharides of Neisseria meningitidis groups A, C, W-135 and Y when measured byassays using either rSBA or hSBA.
Immunogenicity in infantsIn Study MenACWY-TT-083, the first dose was administered at 6 to 12 weeks of age, the second afteran interval of 2 months, and a third (booster) dose administered at approximately 12 months of age.
DTaP-HBV-IPV/Hib and a 10-valent pneumococcal vaccine were co-administered. Nimenrix elicitedrSBA and hSBA titres against the four meningococcal groups as shown in Table 2. The responseagainst group C was non-inferior to the one elicited by licensed MenC-CRM and MenC-TT vaccinesin terms of percentages with rSBA titres ≥ 8 at 1 month after the second dose.
Data from this study support the extrapolation of the immunogenicity data and posology to infantsfrom 12 weeks to less than 6 months of age.

In Study MenACWY-TT-087, infants received either a single primary dose at 6 months followed by abooster dose at 15-18 months (DTaP-IPV/Hib and 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine wasco-administered at both vaccination time points) or three primary doses at 2, 4, and 6 months followedby a booster dose at 15-18 months. A single primary dose administered at 6 months of age elicitedrobust rSBA titres to the four meningococcal groups, as measured by the percentage of subjects withrSBA titres ≥ 8, that were comparable to responses after the last dose of a three-dose primary series. Abooster dose produced robust responses, comparable between the two dosing groups, against all fourmeningococcal groups. Results are shown in Table 3.

Measurement of hSBA titres was a secondary endpoint in Study MenACWY-TT-087. Althoughsimilar responses to groups A and C were observed with both dosing schedules, a single primary dosein infants at 6 months was associated with lower hSBA titres to groups W-135 and Y as measured bythe percentage of subjects with hSBA titres ≥ 8 [87.2% (95% CI: 74.3, 95.2) and 92.3% (95% CI:81.5, 97.9), respectively] compared with three primary doses at 2, 4, and 6 months of age [100% (95%
CI: 96.6, 100) and 100% (95% CI: 97.1, 100), respectively] (see section 4.4). After a booster dose,hSBA titres to all four meningococcal groups were comparable between the two dosing schedules.
Results are shown in Table 3.
Immunogenicity in toddlers aged 12-23 monthsIn clinical studies MenACWY-TT-039 and MenACWY-TT-040, a single dose of Nimenrix elicited

Study MenACWY-TT-104 evaluated the immunogenicity after 1 month and the persistence of theresponse up to 5 years following 1 or 2 doses (given 2 months apart) of Nimenrix in toddlers aged12 to 14 months. One month following one or two doses Nimenrix elicited rSBA titres against all fourmeningococcal groups that were similar in terms of the percentage of subjects with rSBA titre ≥ 8 and
GMT. As a secondary endpoint hSBA titres were measured. One month post dose one or two
Nimenrix elicited hSBA titres against groups W-135 and Y that were higher in terms of the percentageof subjects with hSBA titre ≥ 8 when two doses were given compared with one (see section 4.4).
Nimenrix elicited hSBA titres against groups A and C that were similar in terms of the percentage ofsubjects with hSBA titre ≥ 8 when two doses were given compared with one. At Year 5 only a smalldifference in antibody persistence between one and two doses was observed, in terms of percentagesof subjects with hSBA titres ≥ 8 against all groups. Antibody persistence was observed at Year 5against groups C, W-135 and Y. After one and two doses the percentages of subjects with hSBA titres≥ 8 for group C were 60.7% and 67.8%, group W-135 were 58.9% and 63.6% and group Y were61.5% and 54.2%, respectively. For group A, 27.9% and 17.9% of subjects receiving one or twodoses, respectively, had hSBA titres ≥ 8. Results are shown in Table 5.

The analysis of immunogenicity was conducted on the ATP cohorts for 1 month and 5 years post vaccinationand the booster ATP cohort. Subjects with a suboptimal response to meningococcal group C (defined as SBAtitre below the pre-defined assay cut-off) were to receive an additional dose of MenC vaccine before Year 6.
These subjects were excluded from the analysis at Years 4 and 5 but included in the analysis at Year 10.

The analysis of immunogenicity was conducted on the ATP cohorts.(1) Blood sampling performed 1 month post vaccination
VR: vaccine response defined as the proportion of subjects with:
- rSBA titres ≥ 32 for initially seronegative subjects (i.e., pre-vaccination rSBA titre <8)
- at least a 4-fold increase in rSBA titres from pre- to post-vaccination for initially seropositive subjects (i.e.,pre-vaccination rSBA titre ≥ 8)
*rSBA analysis performed at GSK laboratoriesrSBA titres were determined over a period of 10 years in subjects initially vaccinated with one dose of
Nimenrix or ACWY-PS at 11 to 17 years of age in Study MenACWY-TT-036. Persistence of rSBAtitres was evaluated in two extension studies: MenACWY-TT-043 (up to 5 years) and MenACWY-
TT-101 (at 10 years). Study MenACWY-TT-101 also evaluated the response to a single booster doseof Nimenrix administered 10 years following the initial vaccination with Nimenrix or ACWY-PS.

*rSBA analysis performed at GSK laboratories for 1 month post primary vaccination samples and at PHElaboratories in UK for the subsequent sampling time points.
In a separate study (MenACWY-TT-085), a single dose of Nimenrix was administered to 194
Lebanese adults aged 56 years and older (including 133 aged 56-65 years and 61 aged >65 years). Thepercentage of subjects with rSBA titres (measured at GSK’s laboratories) ≥ 128 before vaccinationranged from 45% (group C) to 62% (group Y). Overall, at 1 month post-vaccination the percentage ofvaccines with rSBA titres ≥ 128 ranged from 93% (group C) to 97% (group Y). In the subgroup aged>65 years the percentage of vaccines with rSBA titres ≥ 128 at 1 month post-vaccination ranged from90% (group A) to 97% (group Y).
Booster response for subjects previously vaccinated with a conjugate meningococcal vaccine against
Neisseria meningitidis
Nimenrix booster vaccination in subjects previously primed with a monovalent (MenC-CRM) or aquadrivalent conjugate meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY-TT) was studied in subjects from12 months of age onwards who received a booster vaccination. Robust anamnestic responses to theantigen(s) in the priming vaccine were observed (see Tables 6, 7, 11, 13, and 15).
Response to Nimenrix in subjects previously vaccinated with a plain polysaccharide vaccine against
Neisseria meningitidis
In Study MenACWY-TT-021 conducted in subjects aged 4.5-34 years, the immunogenicity of
Nimenrix administered between 30 and 42 months after vaccination with a ACWY-PS vaccine wascompared to the immunogenicity of Nimenrix administered to age-matched subjects who had not beenvaccinated with any meningococcal vaccine in the preceding 10 years. An immune response (rSBAtitre ≥ 8) was observed against all four meningococcal groups in all subjects regardless of themeningococcal vaccine history. The rSBA GMTs were significantly lower in the subjects who hadreceived a dose of ACWY-PS vaccine 30-42 months prior to Nimenrix, however 100% of subjectsachieved rSBA titres ≥ 8 for all four meningococcal groups (A, C, W-135, Y) (see section 4.4).
Children (2-17 years) with anatomical or functional aspleniaStudy MenACWY-TT-084 compared immune responses to two doses of Nimenrix given 2 monthsapart between 43 subjects aged 2-17 years with anatomic or functional asplenia subjects and43 age-matched subjects with normal splenic function. One month after the first vaccine dose and1 month after the second dose similar percentages of subjects in the two groups had rSBA titres ≥ 8and ≥ 128 and hSBA titres ≥ 4 and ≥ 8.
Immunogenicity following two doses of Nimenrix at 3 and 12 months of age
In study C0921062, infants received a single primary dose at 3 months of age followed by a boosterdose at 12 months of age. A single primary dose administered at 3 months of age elicited robust rSBAtitres to the four meningococcal groups, as measured by the percentage of subjects with rSBA titres ≥8 and GMTs. A booster dose produced robust responses against all four meningococcal groups.

Impact of a single dose of NimenrixIn 2018, the Netherlands added Nimenrix to the national immunisation programme as a single dose fortoddlers at 14 months of age to replace the meningococcal C conjugate vaccine. A catch-up campaignwith a single dose of Nimenrix for adolescents 14-18 years of age also initiated in 2018, and it becameroutine in 2020 leading to a toddler and adolescent national immunisation programme. Within twoyears, the incidence of meningococcal disease caused by groups C, W, and Y was significantlyreduced by 100% (95% CI: 14, 100) in individuals 14-18 years of age, 85% (95% CI: 32, 97) in allvaccine eligible ages (direct effect), and 50% (95% CI: 28, 65) in non-vaccine eligible ages (indirecteffect). The impact of Nimenrix was primarily driven by a reduction in group W disease.
