Frequently asked questions about MenACWY PS

What is MenACWY PS used for?

MenACWY PS is an investigational vaccine being studied for the prevention of meningococcal disease, a serious bacterial infection. It is intended for use in healthy infants, with a clinical trial evaluating its safety and immune response in this population.

Who makes MenACWY PS?

MenACWY PS is being developed by Novartis AG, a global healthcare company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol NVS. The company is conducting clinical research to evaluate the vaccine's potential in preventing meningococcal disease.

What phase is MenACWY PS in?

MenACWY PS is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational vaccine, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 2 trial has been completed, and the vaccine remains under evaluation for the prevention of meningococcal disease.

What clinical trials is MenACWY PS in?

MenACWY PS has one completed Phase 2 clinical trial, identified as NCT00262002, titled 'Study of the Safety and Immune Response of a Meningococcal Vaccine Administered to Healthy Infants.' The trial enrolled 601 participants aged 2 months and older in Canada and the United Kingdom.

Is MenACWY PS a monoclonal antibody?

MenACWY PS is classified as a monoclonal antibody modality, though it is being studied as a vaccine for the prevention of meningococcal disease. The Phase 2 trial evaluated its safety and immune response in healthy infants, with the study being controlled but not double-blinded.
