- Summary
Meningococcal (groups A, C, Y and W-135) oligosaccharide diphtheria CRM197 conjugate vaccine is a conjugate vaccine used to prevent invasive meningococcal disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135.

- Background
Meningococcal (groups A, C, Y and W-135) oligosaccharide diphtheria CRM197 conjugate vaccine is used to prevent invasive meningococcal disease, which is caused by bacteria Neisseria meningitidis entering the bloodstream and invading the blood-brain barrier to cause a variety of infections such as septicemia, meningitis, and pneumonia.1 Several serogroups of N. meningitidis - A, B, C, Y, and W-135 - known to cause meningococcal infections have been identified.1 Meningococcal (groups A, C, Y and W-135) oligosaccharide diphtheria CRM197 conjugate vaccine contains serogroup A, C, Y, and W-135 oligosaccharides conjugated individually to Corynebacterium diphtheriae CRM197 protein carrier, resulting in four drug substances contained in each dose of vaccine.2
Meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y, and W-135) Oligosaccharide Diphtheria CRM197 Conjugate Vaccine, marketed as MENVEO, was first approved by the FDA in 2010.2

Pharmacology
- Indication
This is a vaccine indicated for active immunization to prevent invasive meningococcal disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 in individuals 2 months through 55 years of age. Meningococcal (groups A, C, Y and W-135) oligosaccharide diphtheria CRM197 conjugate vaccine does not prevent N. meningitidis serogroup B infections.2

- Pharmacodynamics
Meningococcal (groups A, C, Y and W-135) oligosaccharide diphtheria CRM197 conjugate vaccine that works to potentiate immune response against Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 in vaccinated individuals.2
- Mechanism of action
Neisseria meningitidis is a human-encapsulated Gram-negative diplococcus that is known to cause serious and life-threatening invasive disease. N. meningitidis has several different serogroups that are classified based on the composition of capsular polysaccharide (CPS) polymers. Among the serogroups, serogroups A, B, C, W, Y, and X account for the majority of meningococcal diseases.1
Meningococcal (groups A, C, Y and W-135) oligosaccharide diphtheria CRM197 conjugate vaccine contains bacterial CPS (serogroup A, C, Y, and W-135 oligosaccharides) conjugated to a carrier protein (CRM197), allowing more robust antibody responses compared to plain polysaccharide vaccines.1 Upon administration, this conjugate vaccine promotes the production of bactericidal antibodies directed against the capsular polysaccharides of serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 in vaccinated individuals.2
