Side Effects for Penbraya
The most commonly reported (≥15%) solicited adverse reactions after Dose 1 and Dose 2, respectively, were pain at theinjection site (89% and 84%), fatigue (52% and 48%), headache (47% and 40%), muscle pain (26% and 23%), injection siteredness (26% and 23%), injection site swelling (25% and 24%), joint pain (20% and 18%), and chills (20% and 16%).
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of avaccine cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another vaccine and may not reflect the rates observed inpractice.
The safety of PENBRAYA in individuals 10 through 25 years of age was evaluated in 3 clinical studies (2 active-controlledand 1 non-controlled study). In the controlled studies, 2306 participants received at least 1 dose of PENBRAYA. Of 946participants who had previously received a meningococcal conjugate vaccine (categorized as MenACWY conjugate vaccine-exposed), 802 participants had received 1 dose of any U.S.-licensed Meningococcal Groups A, C, W, and Y conjugate vaccine,51 participants had received a non-U.S.-licensed monovalent Meningococcal Group C conjugate vaccine (MenC conjugatevaccine), and 93 participants had received an unspecified U.S.-licensed or non-U.S.-licensed MenACWY conjugate or a MenC conjugate vaccine at least 4 years prior to enrollment. In the non-controlled study, 300 participants received a single dose ofPENBRAYA.
Study 1 (NCT04440163) was an active-controlled, observer-blinded, multicenter study in which participants 10 through 25years of age in the U.S. and Europe received at least 1 dose of PENBRAYA (N=1763) or Meningococcal Group B Vaccine(Trumenba) (N=650) at 0 and 6 months. Meningococcal Groups A, C, Y, and W-135 Oligosaccharide Diphtheria CRM
Conjugate Vaccine (MenACWY-CRM, GSK Vaccines, SRL) was concomitantly administered with Trumenba at Month 0. Allparticipants were MenB vaccine-naïve. Both MenACWY conjugate vaccine-naïve and MenACWY conjugate vaccine-exposedparticipants were part of the study.
Study 2 (NCT03135834) was an active-controlled, observer-blinded, multicenter study in which participants 10 through 25years of age in the U.S. and Europe received at least 1 dose of PENBRAYA (N=543) or Trumenba (N=1057) at 0 and 6months. MenACWY-CRM was co-administered with Trumenba at Month 0. All participants were MenB vaccine-naïve. BothMenACWY conjugate vaccine-naïve and MenACWY conjugate vaccine-exposed participants were part of this study.
Study 3 (NCT04440176) was a descriptive non-controlled study in which participants 11 through 14 years of age in the U.S.received PENBRAYA 12 months apart. All participants were naïve to any meningococcal vaccine.
In Study 1 and Study 2, solicited local and systemic adverse reactions were monitored for 7 days after study vaccination usingan electronic diary. In all studies, spontaneous reports of adverse events (AEs) were collected through at least 1 month after thelast vaccination, and through 6 months after the last vaccination for serious adverse events (SAEs).
In controlled studies, demographic characteristics were generally similar with regard to gender, race, and ethnicity amongparticipants who received PENBRAYA and those who received control (Trumenba and MenACWY-CRM). Amongparticipants who received PENBRAYA in controlled studies, 47.4% were male, 79.4% were White, 10.2% were Black orAfrican-American, 2.1% were Asian, and 2.6% were of other racial groups, and 21.6% were of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity.

Serious Adverse Events
In Study 1, during the 30 days after vaccination visit 1 (at 0 months), <0.1% (1/1763) of PENBRAYA and 0% (0/649) ofTrumenba + MenACWY-CRM participants reported at least 1 SAE. During the 30 days after vaccination visit 2 (at 6 months),0.1% (2/1558) of PENBRAYA and 0% (0/562) of Trumenba participants reported at least 1 SAE. None of the SAEs weredetermined to be related to PENBRAYA vaccination.
In Study 2, during the 30 days after vaccination visit 1 (at 0 months), 0.4% (2/543) of PENBRAYA and 0% (0/1057) ofTrumenba + MenACWY-CRM participants reported at least 1 SAE. During the 30 days after vaccination visit 2 (at 6 months),0.2% (1/486) of PENBRAYA and 0% (0/946) of Trumenba participants reported at least 1 SAE. None of the SAEs weredetermined to be related to PENBRAYA vaccination.
In non-controlled Study 3, no SAEs (0/294) were reported within 30 days after either vaccination (0, 12 months).
Postmarketing Experience
The postmarketing safety experience with Trumenba and a non-U.S.-licensed Meningococcal Groups A, C, W, and Ypolysaccharide tetanus toxoid (TT) conjugate vaccine (MenACWY-TT vaccine; Pfizer Inc.) is relevant to PENBRAYA sincePENBRAYA includes the same group A, C, W, and Y TT-conjugated polysaccharide components and MenB recombinantprotein components. Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not possible toreliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to vaccination. The following adverse reactions have beenspontaneously reported during postmarketing use of Trumenba and MenACWY-TT and may also be seen in postmarketingexperience with PENBRAYA.
Immune System Disorders: allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis
Nervous System: syncope (fainting)
