Introduction: A favorable benefit-risk balance is required to support licensure of biologics, in keeping with regulatory agencies' evolving recommendations, including the United States Food and Drugs Administration. We present a structured semi-quantitative benefit-risk analysis of MenACYW-TT, a quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine against Neisseria meningitidis serogroups, A, C, W and Y versus licensed comparators in individuals aged ≥ 12 months.

Methods: We used data from six MenACYW-TT clinical trials, stratified by age group, versus licensed vaccines: toddlers (12-23 months; Nimenrix [MCV4-TT]), children (2-9 years; Menveo [MCV4-CRM]), adolescents (10-17 years; MCV4-CRM or Menactra [MCV4-DT]), adults (18-55 years; MCV4-DT) and older adults (≥ 56 years; Menomune-A/C/Y/W-135 [MPSV4]). Eight benefit (seroresponse and seroprotection for A, C, W and Y) and five risk outcomes (any and grade 3 solicited injection site and systemic reactions, and serious adverse events) were measured at Day 30 after initial vaccination. Analyses were conducted by baseline vaccination status (meningococcal vaccine-naïve or vaccine-primed).

Results: MenACYW-TT showed favorable seroresponse and seroprotection among vaccine-naïve participants aged ≥ 2 years, against all serogroups, compared with MCV4-CRM, MCV4-DT and MPSV4. In vaccine-naïve toddlers, there was a favorable effect for serogroup C, but no difference between MenACYW-TT and MCV4-TT for serogroups A, Y and W. A favorable effect for MenACYW-TT against serogroup C was observed in all vaccine-naïve and combined vaccine-naïve and MenC conjugate vaccine-primed groups. For all risk criteria, there were no differences between MenACYW-TT and MCV4s in toddlers, children, adolescents and adults. Results for solicited injection site and systemic reactions favored MPSV4 in older adults.

Conclusions: The benefit-risk profile for MenACYW-TT showed favorable seroresponse and seroprotection in individuals aged ≥ 2 years and no difference in risk criteria between MenACYW-TT and MCV4s. MenACYW-TT may provide an alternative to the standard-of-care for meningococcal disease prevention in those aged ≥ 12 months.

Article Synopsis
  • Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccination has been effective, but the emergence of a new genotype V (GV) of the virus in China and rising cases in South Korea are concerning challenges.
  • Analysis of serum samples from vaccinated individuals revealed that while they had strong neutralizing responses against the original genotype III (GIII) virus, their response against the new GV variants was significantly lower.
  • The findings indicate that existing GIII-based vaccines may not offer adequate protection against GV JEV, posing risks for populations in endemic areas and travelers.

Introduction: Many immunization programs in Europe recommend quadrivalent meningococcal vaccinations, which are often administered concomitantly with other vaccines. We compared the immune response of a tetanus toxoid conjugated quadrivalent meningococcal vaccine (MenACYW-TT, MenQuadfi) with another quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4-TT; Nimenrix) when administered alone or concomitantly with Tdap-IPV and 9vHPV vaccines in adolescents.

Methods: In this phase IIIb trial, healthy adolescents (MenC-naïve or MenC-primed before 2 years of age) from Spain, Italy, Hungary, and Singapore were randomized in a 3:3:2 ratio to receive either MenACYW-TT or MCV4-TT alone, or MenACYW-TT concomitantly with 9vHPV and Tdap-IPV.

(1) Background: Chronic inflammation and suboptimal immune responses to vaccinations are considered to be aspects of immune dysregulation in patients that are undergoing dialysis. The present study aimed to evaluate immune responses in hemodialysis (HD) and online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) patients to a seasonal inactivated quadrivalent influenza vaccine (IQIV). (2) Methods: We enrolled 172 chronic dialysis patients (87 on HD and 85 on OL-HDF) and 18 control subjects without chronic kidney disease in a prospective, cross-sectional cohort study.
