PART II: SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION<br />
PHARMACEUTICAL INFORMATION<br />
Drug Substance<br />
NIMENRIX ® is composed of the purified capsular polysaccharides of Neisseria<br />
meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135 and Y, each conjugated to tetanus toxoid.<br />
CLINICAL TRIALS<br />
The immunogenicity of one dose of NIMENRIX ® has been evaluated in more than 8,000<br />
subjects aged ≥12 months.<br />
Vaccine efficacy was inferred from the demonstration of immunologic non-inferiority<br />
(based mainly on comparing proportions with rabbit complement serum bactericidal assay<br />
(rSBA) titres at least 1:8) to licensed meningococcal vaccines. Immunogenicity was<br />
measured by using rSBA or human complement serum bactericidal assay (hSBA) which<br />
are biomarkers for protective efficacy against meningococcal serogroups A, C, W-135 and<br />
Y.<br />
