The data, which were released recently in an oral presentation at IDWeek 2015TM in San Diego, are based on a study conducted in more than 2,600 healthy individuals 10 through 12 years of age that evaluated the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of TRUMENBA when coadministered with MCV4 and Tdap. Data demonstrated that immune responses following TRUMENBA, MCV4 and Tdap vaccines given concomitantly were noninferior to immune responses to MCV4 and Tdap alone or TRUMENBA alone.

Pfizer’s TRUMENBA (Meningococcal Group B Vaccine) is FDA-approved for active immunization to prevent invasive disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B in individuals 10 through 25 years of age.

Individuals participating in the study were assigned to one of three groups. Group 1 received TRUMENBA coadministered with MCV4 and Tdap vaccines; Group 2 received MCV4 and Tdap vaccines only; and Group 3 received TRUMENBA only. TRUMENBA immunogenicity was assessed by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) with 2 meningococcal serogroup B (MenB) test strains expressing vaccine-heterologous factor H binding protein (fHBP) variants. The immunogenicity of MCV4 and Tdap antigens was assessed utilizing multiplexed Luminex assays and/or serum bactericidal assay using rabbit complement (rSBA).
