Neisseria meningitidis: what the trials found

Several conjugate vaccines against Neisseria meningitidis have demonstrated robust immunogenicity in infants and toddlers. The combined Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine (MenHibrix) elicited anti-PRP antibody concentrations ≥1.0 µg/mL in 98.2% to 98.8% of subjects after the primary series 419. Similarly, the combined Hib-MenC-TT vaccine (Menitorix) induced anti-PRP ≥0.15 µg/mL in a high proportion of subjects 112. The quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine Menactra (A, C, Y, W-135) produced at least a 4-fold rise in serum bactericidal antibody titers in 57% to 86% of participants across serogroups 9. Another combined vaccine (PR5I) achieved 100% seroprotection against PRP (≥0.15 µg/mL) and high responses to diphtheria, tetanus, and poliovirus antigens 2. The investigational vaccine V419 also showed 100% of participants with anti-MCC titers ≥1:8 after one dose 3.

The combination of Hib and meningococcal serogroup C vaccines (e.g., Menitorix) consistently induced protective anti-PRP antibodies. In one study, 98.9% of infants had anti-PRP ≥0.15 µg/mL after three doses 3. Another trial reported that 100% of subjects achieved anti-PRP ≥0.15 µg/mL after vaccination with a combined Hib-MenC-TT vaccine 13. The Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine also demonstrated high immunogenicity against both Hib and meningococcal serogroups C and Y, with anti-PRP ≥1.0 µg/mL in over 97% of subjects 419. These findings support the use of combination vaccines to simplify the immunization schedule while maintaining strong immune responses.

Recent results — preliminary, needs further review

  • A large observational study (N=6802) in school leavers found that receipt of 4CMenB vaccine was associated with lower carriage prevalence of disease-causing meningococcal genogroups (A, B, C, W, X, Y) compared to unvaccinated students, though these findings are not yet corroborated 22.
  • Phase 2 trials of investigational multivalent vaccines (e.g., GSK2202083A, GSK2197870A) have shown immunogenicity against Hib and meningococcal serogroups, but results remain unconfirmed 1415.
  • Early-phase studies of Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine indicate that it can induce anti-PSC and anti-PSY antibodies, but these findings require further validation 1718.

For the clinician treating this condition

  • Combined Hib-meningococcal conjugate vaccines (e.g., MenHibrix, Menitorix) are highly immunogenic in infants, with >97% achieving protective anti-PRP levels after primary series.
  • Quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine Menactra elicits robust bactericidal antibody responses against serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 in children and adolescents.
  • The investigational vaccine V419 and other combined formulations show promise for simplifying schedules while maintaining high seroprotection rates.
