Comparator Agent  Menactra®  The licensed meningococcal serogroups ACYW conjugate vaccine (Menactra®), manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur Inc. Menactra is supplied as a single 0.5 mL ready to use dose formulated in sodium phosphate buffered isotonic sodium chloride solution to contain 4 μg each of meningococcal A, C, Y, and W polysaccharides conjugated to approximately 48 μg of diphtheria toxoid protein carrier. 
Intervention  NmCV-5  The meningococcal vaccine NmCV-5 manufactured by Serum Institute of India Pvt. Ltd. is a pentavalent conjugate vaccine composed of serogroups A, C, Y, W, and X of Neisseria meningitidis. NmCV-5 is provided as the lyophilized powder. The vaccine is reconstituted with 0.5 mL normal saline prior to administration. After reconstitution 0.5 mL of injectable solution of NmCV-5 vaccine will contain 5 µg each of meningococcal serogroups A and X polysaccharides conjugated to tetanus toxoid of 7.8 to 33.4 µg and 5 µg each of meningococcal serogroups C, W and Y polysaccharides conjugated to CRM197 protein of 11.7 to 50.1 µg 
Comparator Agent  Placebo  0.5 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride single use liquid

Brief Summary  

Neisseria meningitidis is a bacteria responsible for invasive meningococcal disease (IMD), that includes most commonly meningitis and fulminant septicaemia. Pneumonia, myocarditis, or pericarditis may also occur in IMD, though less commonly. 

Neisseria meningitidis are classified into serogroups based on their capsular polysaccharides. Six of these serogroups viz. A, B, C, W, X, and Y are known to cause majority of IMD cases. 

To tackle this problem, Serum Institute of India Pvt Ltd has developed meningococcal vaccine NmCV-5 (MenFive) which is a pentavalent conjugate vaccine composed of serogroups A, C, Y, W, and X of Neisseria meningitidis. 

NmCV-5 is approved for active immunization of individuals aged 18-85 years against invasive meningococcal disease caused by Neisseria Meningitidis serogroups A, C, Y, W, and X in India. WHO has approved NmCV-5 for use in individuals aged 9 months to 85 years.

A current Phase 3 study is planned in healthy Indian children aged 9 months to 17 years to demonstrate effective immune responses and safety of NmCV-5 in comparison with the licensed quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MenACWY-D).  

This study will help to extend the marketing authorization of NmCV-5 for this age group in India.
