See 17 for PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION.
Revised: 2/2025
For intramuscular use.
PENMENVY is supplied as one vial of Lyophilized MenACWY Component (powder) and one prefilled syringe of MenB Component (liquid) which must be combined before administration.
Use only the supplied MenB Component to reconstitute the Lyophilized MenACWY Component.
Do not administer PENMENVY to individuals with a severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to a previous dose of PENMENVY, to any component of this vaccine, or to any other diphtheria toxoid-containing vaccine [see Description (11)].
Appropriate medical treatment must be immediately available to manage potential anaphylactic reactions following administration of PENMENVY.
Syncope (fainting) has occurred in association with administration of PENMENVY. Procedures should be in place to avoid injury from fainting.
Vaccination with PENMENVY may not protect all vaccine recipients. PENMENVY may not provide protection against all meningococcal serogroup B strains [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)].
Reduced Immune Response
Immunocompromised persons, including those receiving immunosuppressive therapy, may have reduced immune responses to PENMENVY.
Complement Deficiency
Persons with certain complement deficiencies and persons receiving treatment that inhibits terminal complement activation are at increased risk for invasive disease caused by N. meningitidis, including disease caused by serogroups A, B, C, W, and Y, even if they develop antibodies following vaccination with PENMENVY [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)].
Guillain‑Barré syndrome (GBS) has been reported in temporal relationship following administration of a U.S.‑licensed meningococcal quadrivalent polysaccharide conjugate vaccine. The decision by the healthcare professional to administer PENMENVY to persons with a history of GBS should take into account the expected benefits and potential risks.
The most commonly reported (≥10%) solicited adverse reactions after Dose 1 and Dose 2, respectively, in Study 1 in participants aged 10 through 25 years (87% of whom were MenACWY conjugate vaccine‑naïve) were pain at the injection site (92% and 88%), fatigue (51% and 42%), headache (42% and 36%), myalgia (15% and 12%), nausea (15% and 10%), erythema (13% and 12%), and swelling (13% and 12%).
The most commonly reported (≥10%) solicited adverse reactions after Dose 1 and Dose 2, respectively, in Study 2 in MenACWY conjugate vaccine‑experienced participants aged 15 through 25 years were pain at the injection site (80% and 74%), headache (41% and 33%), fatigue (40% and 33%), myalgia (15% and 13%), and nausea (15% and 12%).
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a vaccine cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another vaccine and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The safety of PENMENVY was evaluated in 12 clinical studies1 in which a total of 3,718 participants received at least one dose of PENMENVY. Participants in Study 1 (aged 10 through 25 years) and Study 2 (aged 15 through 25 years) were scheduled to receive PENMENVY according to the approved dosing schedule (2 doses administered 6 months apart). Participants in the other studies may have received PENMENVY according to unapproved dosing schedules. Across the 12 studies, 2,969 participants received at least 1 dose of BEXSERO (Meningococcal Group B Vaccine) and 361 participants received a single dose of MENVEO [Meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y, and W‑135) Oligosaccharide Diphtheria CRM197 Conjugate Vaccine]. Across the studies, the median age was 16 years, males comprised 46%, and 86% of participants were White, 6% were Black, 4% were Asian, and 4% were of other racial groups. In these studies, 13% of participants were Hispanic. Approximately 35% of participants were from the U.S.
Nine of the 12 studies (including Study 1 and Study 2) collected non‑serious unsolicited adverse events through 30 days after each vaccination, and the other 3 studies collected these events through 7 days after each vaccination. All studies collected serious adverse events through at least 1 month following the last vaccination. Study 1 and Study 2 collected serious adverse events through 12 months following the first vaccination and at least 5 months following the last vaccination.
Study 1 (NCT04502693) was a randomized, controlled, observer‑blind study conducted in 7 countries (U.S., Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, and Turkey). In this study, 1,657 participants aged 10 through 25 years received at least 1 dose of PENMENVY. Participants were scheduled to receive 2 doses of PENMENVY 6 months apart. Separate groups received BEXSERO either as a 0‑, 2‑, 6‑month schedule or 0‑, 6‑month schedule. A single dose of MENVEO was administered 1 month after the third dose in the 0‑, 2‑, 6‑month group and 2 months after the first dose of BEXSERO in the 0‑, 6‑month group (these participants received saline placebo at month 7). A separate group received a single dose of MENVEO at month 0, a saline placebo dose at month 2, and doses of BEXSERO at months 6 and 7 (an unapproved BEXSERO dosing regimen). All participants were MenB vaccine‑naïve. Both MenACWY conjugate vaccine‑naïve (87%) and MenACWY conjugate vaccine‑experienced (13%, vaccinated at least 4 years prior to study enrollment) participants were part of the study. The median age was 16 years, males comprised 47%, and 89% of participants were White, 5% were Asian, 4% were Black, and 2% were of other racial groups. Among study participants, 5% were Hispanic. Approximately 30% of participants were from the U.S.
Study 2 (NCT04707391) was a randomized, controlled, observer‑blind study conducted in 4 countries (U.S., Australia, Canada, and Argentina). In this study, 626 participants aged 15 through 25 years received at least 1 dose of PENMENVY. All participants were MenACWY conjugate vaccine‑experienced (vaccinated at least 4 years prior to study enrollment). A separate group received a single dose of MENVEO followed 6 months later by 2 doses of BEXSERO administered 1 month apart (an unapproved BEXSERO dosing regimen). In this study, the median age was 16 years, males comprised 47%, and 75% of participants were White, 14% were Black, 6% were of other racial groups, and 4% were Asian. Among study participants, 30% were Hispanic. Approximately 59% of participants were from the U.S.
Solicited Adverse Reactions
In Study 1, solicited local and systemic adverse reactions were collected for 7 days after study vaccination using electronic diaries. The rates of local and systemic adverse reactions reported in Study 1 among participants aged 10 through 25 years following each dose of PENMENVY administered 6 months apart, each dose of BEXSERO administered 6 months apart, or a single dose of MENVEO are presented in Table 1.

Unsolicited Adverse Events
In an analysis across the 12 studies, unsolicited adverse events that were reported in participants who received PENMENVY (N = 3,718) and were determined to be causally related included syncope, dizziness, and pre‑syncope (0.9%); lymphadenopathy (0.2%); and hypersensitivity (0.1%). The onset of syncope, dizziness, pre‑syncope, and lymphadenopathy ranged from 1 to 30 days and the onset of hypersensitivity ranged from 9 to 27 days.
Serious Adverse Events
In Study 1, serious adverse events that occurred through 12 months following the first vaccination and at least 5 months following the last vaccination were reported by 1.5% of participants in the PENMENVY group (N = 1,648), 2.4% of participants in the group who received BEXSERO as a 0‑, 6‑month schedule with a dose of MENVEO at month 2 (N = 900), and 2.8% of participants in the group who received MENVEO at month 0 and BEXSERO at months 6 and 7 (N = 178).
In Study 2, serious adverse events that occurred through 12 months following the first vaccination and at least 5 months following the last vaccination were reported by 2.9% of participants in the PENMENVY group (N = 626) and 1.1% of participants in the group who received MENVEO at month 0 and BEXSERO at months 6 and 7 (N = 621).
Across the 12 clinical studies, serious adverse events were reported within 30 days after any dose by 0.6% of participants who received PENMENVY (N = 3,718), 0.4% of participants who received BEXSERO (N = 2,969), and 0.3% of participants who received MENVEO (N = 361). Two serious adverse events reported following administration of PENMENVY were assessed as vaccine‑related and are described below.
In Study 3,1 connective tissue disorder was reported in an adolescent participant who developed 3 episodes of petechiae (7 days after PENMENVY Dose 1, 18 days after PENMENVY Dose 2 [given 1 month after Dose 1], and 17 days after HAVRIX [Hepatitis A Vaccine]) and was diagnosed with a connective tissue disorder 44 days after PENMENVY Dose 2.
In Study 3,1 seizures were reported in an adult participant with onset 9 hours after PENMENVY Dose 1.
The following adverse reactions have been reported during postapproval use of BEXSERO or MENVEO. The postmarketing safety experience with BEXSERO and MENVEO is relevant because PENMENVY contains the same group A, C, W, and Y CRM197‑conjugated oligosaccharide components and MenB recombinant protein components. Because these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to the vaccine exposure.

Postmarketing Observational Safety Study
In a postmarketing observational safety study conducted in a U.S. health maintenance organization, data from electronic health records of 48,899 persons aged 11 through 21 years were used to evaluate pre‑specified events of interest following vaccination with MENVEO. Using a self‑controlled case series method, Bell’s palsy showed a statistically significant increased risk in the period 1 to 84 days post vaccination compared with the control period, with an overall adjusted relative incidence of 2.9 (95% CI: 1.1‑7.5). Among the 8 reported cases of Bell’s palsy, 6 cases occurred in persons who received MENVEO concomitantly with one or more of the following vaccines: Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed (Tdap), a human papillomavirus vaccine, and Influenza Vaccine. All reported Bell’s palsy cases resolved.
Risk Summary
All pregnancies have a risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of PENMENVY in pregnant women. Available human data on PENMENVY administered to pregnant women are insufficient to inform vaccine-associated risks in pregnancy.
A developmental toxicity study was performed in female rabbits administered a dose of PENMENVY (0.5 mL) on 5 occasions, three times prior to mating and twice during gestation. This study revealed no vaccine‑related effects on female fertility, fetal development or postnatal development (see Data).
Data
Animal Data: In a developmental toxicity study, female rabbits were administered a dose of PENMENVY (0.5 mL) by intramuscular injection on 5 occasions: 35, 21 and 7 days prior to mating, and on gestation days 7 and 20. No vaccine‑related adverse effects on female fertility, fetal development, or postnatal development were reported in the study.
Risk Summary
It is not known whether the vaccine components of PENMENVY are excreted in human milk. Available data are not sufficient to assess the effects of PENMENVY on the breastfed infant or on milk production/excretion. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for PENMENVY and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from PENMENVY or from the underlying maternal condition. For preventive vaccines, the underlying maternal condition is susceptibility to disease prevented by the vaccine.
PENMENVY (Meningococcal Groups A, B, C, W, and Y Vaccine) is a sterile injectable suspension for intramuscular use. The vaccine is supplied as one vial of Lyophilized MenACWY Component which is reconstituted at the time of use with the accompanying prefilled syringe of MenB Component.
The Lyophilized MenACWY Component contains N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W, and Y oligosaccharides conjugated individually to Corynebacterium diphtheriae CRM197 protein. The polysaccharides are produced by bacterial fermentation of N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W, or Y. N. meningitidis serogroup A, C, W, and Y strains are each cultured and grown on Franz Complete medium and treated with formaldehyde. MenA, MenW, and MenY polysaccharides are purified by several steps, including extraction, filtration, and precipitation. MenC polysaccharide is purified by a combination of extraction, chromatography, and precipitation steps.
The protein carrier (CRM197) is produced by bacterial fermentation and is purified by a series of chromatography and ultrafiltration steps. The C. diphtheriae is cultured and grown on CY medium containing yeast extracts and amino acids.
The oligosaccharides are prepared for conjugation from the purified polysaccharides which are processed by hydrolysis, sizing, and reductive amination. After activation, each oligosaccharide is covalently linked to the CRM197 protein. The resulting glycoconjugates are purified to yield the four drug substances, which are formulated with sucrose and phosphate and lyophilized to form the Lyophilized MenACWY Component. The Lyophilized MenACWY Component is a white to off‑white lyophilized cake.
The MenB Component contains recombinant N. meningitidis proteins Neisseria adhesin A (NadA), Neisserial Heparin Binding Antigen (NHBA), and factor H binding protein (fHbp), and Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMV). The NadA component is a fragment of the full‑length protein derived from N. meningitidis strain 2996 (peptide 8 variant 2/3).2 The NHBA component is a recombinant fusion protein comprised of NHBA (peptide 2)2 and accessory protein 953 derived from N. meningitidis strains NZ98/254 and 2996, respectively. The fHbp component is a recombinant fusion protein comprised of fHbp (variant 1.1)2 and the accessory protein 936 derived from N. meningitidis strains MC58 and 2996, respectively. These 3 recombinant proteins are individually produced in Escherichia coli and purified through a series of column chromatography steps. The OMV antigenic component is produced by fermentation of N. meningitidis strain NZ98/254 (expressing outer membrane protein Porin A [PorA] serosubtype P1.4),3 followed by inactivation of the bacteria by deoxycholate, which also mediates vesicle formation. The antigens are adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxide. The MenB Component is a white opalescent suspension.
After reconstitution, each approximately 0.5‑mL dose contains 10 mcg MenA oligosaccharide; 5 mcg of each of MenC, MenW, and MenY oligosaccharides; 25.4 to 65.8 mcg CRM197 protein; 50 mcg each of recombinant proteins NadA, NHBA, and fHbp; and 25 mcg of OMV. Each dose also contains 1.5 mg aluminum hydroxide (0.5 mg of Al3+), 3.125 mg sodium chloride, 0.776 mg histidine, 22.5 mg sucrose, and ≤0.7 mg potassium phosphate salts. Each dose contains less than 0.01 mcg kanamycin (by calculation). Residual formaldehyde per dose is estimated to be not more than 0.30 mcg. After reconstitution, PENMENVY is a white opalescent suspension.
The tip cap and rubber plunger of the prefilled syringe and the stopper of the vial are not made with natural rubber latex.
PENMENVY does not contain preservatives.
Protection against invasive meningococcal disease is conferred mainly by complement‑mediated antibody‑dependent killing of N. meningitidis strains.4 Immunization with PENMENVY is intended to stimulate the production of antibodies with bactericidal activity specific to the capsular polysaccharides of N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W, and Y and to the protein antigens NHBA, NadA, fHbp and OMV expressed by serogroup B meningococcal strains.
NHBA, NadA, and fHbp are proteins found on the surface of meningococci and contribute to the ability of the bacterium to cause disease. OMV derived from the bacterial outer membrane contains PorA and other surface proteins. The susceptibility of serogroup B meningococci to complement‑mediated antibody‑dependent killing following vaccination with PENMENVY is dependent on both the antigenic similarity of the bacterial and vaccine antigens, as well as the amount of antigen expressed on the surface of the invading meningococci.
The effectiveness of PENMENVY was assessed by measuring serum bactericidal activity (SBA) in an assay that used endogenous complement preserved in the serum samples collected from study participants (enc-hSBA) and an assay that used an exogenous source of human complement (hSBA).
The enc-hSBA assay was used to assess effectiveness against diverse N. meningitidis serogroup B strains. Participants’ sera were tested for the presence or absence of bactericidal activity to measure breadth of immune response against a panel of 110 diverse U.S. disease-causing N. meningitidis serogroup B strains that were collected between 2000 and 2008. The panel includes most antigen types found among serogroup B isolates circulating in the U.S. between 2000 and 2017, and includes some strains with genetic profiles characterized as hypervirulent. Each participant’s serum was tested at a four-fold dilution against a maximum of 35 strains randomly selected from the panel.
The hSBA assay measured bactericidal activity in participants’ sera against the 5 N. meningitidis serogroups. For serogroup B, four meningococcal serogroup B indicator strains expressing different antigens (fHbp, NadA, NHBA and OMV) were utilized. For serogroups A, C, W, and Y, one strain was utilized per serogroup.
Breadth of Immune Response Elicited by PENMENVY Against Serogroup B (enc-hSBA Assay)
Study 1 evaluated enc-hSBA responses in participants aged 10 through 25 years at one month after Dose 2 of PENMENVY, after Dose 2 of the BEXSERO 0-, 6-month schedule, after Dose 3 of the BEXSERO 0-, 2-, 6-month schedule, and after a single dose of MENVEO, using responder-based and test-based analyses.
Responder-based analyses (Table 3) evaluated the percentages of participants whose sera killed ≥70% of the tested strains.

Immune Response to PENMENVY Against Serogroup B (hSBA Assay)
In Study 1, immune responses in participants aged 10 through 25 years were measured at one month after Dose 2 of PENMENVY, after Dose 2 of the BEXSERO 0‑, 6‑month schedule, and after Dose 3 of the BEXSERO 0‑, 2‑, 6‑month schedule with hSBA assays using indicator strains representative of each of the 4 antigenic components of PENMENVY (fHbp, NadA, NHBA, and OMV). The percentages of participants who achieved a 4‑fold or greater increase in hSBA titer for each of the 4 strains (seroresponse) and the percentages of participants with a titer greater than or equal to the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of the assay for all 4 strains (composite response) are shown in Table 5.
Non‑inferiority of PENMENVY compared with BEXSERO (0‑, 6‑month schedule) for the proportion of participants with a seroresponse was demonstrated for meningococcal serogroup B indicator strains for fHbp and NadA, but not for indicator strains for NHBA or OMV (Table 5).

Immune Response to PENMENVY Against Serogroups A, C, W, and Y (hSBA Assay)
The serum bactericidal antibody responses were measured using hSBA assay against serogroups A, C, W, and Y in MenACWY vaccine‑naïve participants in Study 1 and in MenACWY vaccine‑experienced participants in Study 2.
The non‑inferiority criteria for the percentages of participants achieving a seroresponse against each of the four serogroups A, C, W, and Y were met at one month after Dose 2 of PENMENVY compared to a single dose of MENVEO in MenACWY vaccine‑naïve participants (Table 6) and in MenACWY vaccine‑experienced participants (Table 7).
