The vaccine targets five major serogroups of Neisseria meningitidis (A, B, C, W, and Y) which commonly cause invasive meningococcal disease (IMD).

Penmenvy combines the antigenic components of GSK's two meningococcal vaccines, Bexsero and Menveo. The regulatory application was supported by positive results from two phase III trials, which evaluated its safety, tolerability, and immune response in more than 4,800 participants, GSK said on Monday.
