CLINICAL DATA SUPPORTING APPROVAL DEMONSTRATED NON-INFERIOR IMMUNE RESPONSES FOR ALL SEROTYPES SHARED WITH PCV13 FOLLOWING A FOUR-DOSE SERIES AND SUPERIOR IMMUNE RESPONSES FOR IMPORTANT DISEASE-CAUSING SHARED SEROTYPE 3 AND UNIQUE SEROTYPES 22F AND 33F COMPARED TO PCV13.

WITH THIS EXPANDED INDICATION, VAXNEUVANCE IS THE FIRST PNEUMOCOCCAL CONJUGATE VACCINE APPROVED IN ALMOST A DECADE TO HELP PROTECT PEDIATRIC POPULATIONS AGAINST INVASIVE PNEUMOCOCCAL DISEASE.

INVASIVE PNEUMOCOCCAL DISEASE (IPD) IS AN INFECTION CAUSED BY THE BACTERIUM STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE, OR PNEUMOCOCCUS. WHILE THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 100 DIFFERENT TYPES OF S. PNEUMONIAE, CALLED SEROTYPES, A SMALLER NUMBER OF SEROTYPES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IPD IN CHILDREN. SEROTYPES 3, 22F AND 33F ARE THREE OF THE TOP FIVE SEROTYPES CAUSING CHILDHOOD CASES OF IPD. IPD CAN LEAD TO HOSPITALIZATION OR DEATH. SOME EXAMPLES OF IPD ARE BACTEREMIA (AN INFECTION IN THE BLOOD) AND MENINGITIS (AN INFECTION OF THE COVERINGS OF THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD), WHICH CAN ALSO RESULT IN LONG-TERM NEUROLOGICAL COMPLICATIONS. CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 2 ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO IPD.

VAXNEUVANCE, MERCK’S 15-VALENT PNEUMOCOCCAL CONJUGATE VACCINE, CONSISTS OF PURIFIED CAPSULAR POLYSACCHARIDES FROM S.PNEUMONIAE SEROTYPES 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F AND 33F INDIVIDUALLY CONJUGATED TO CRM197 CARRIER PROTEIN.
