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 />
