The US FDA has approved Penmenvy (Meningococcal Groups A, B, C, W, and Y Vaccine) for active immunization against invasive meningococcal disease.
For patients transitioning from rituximab to ravulizumab, meningococcal vaccination can be safely done within 6 months after stopping rituximab.
These studies showed that the vaccine is effective, safe, and well-tolerated, with a safety profile similar to GSK’s licensed meningococcal vaccines, according to the news release by GSK.
Penmenvy combines the antigenic components of Bexsero (meningococcal Group B vaccine) and Menveo (meningococcal Groups A, C, Y, and W-135 oligosaccharide diphtheria CRM197 conjugate vaccine).
