Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company · Phase 3 active Biologic ✓ Verified May 2026

Nimenrix is a Biologic drug developed by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company. It is currently in Phase 3 development. Also known as: Meningococcal group A, C, W-135 and Y conjugate vaccine, Meningococcal vaccine GSK134612 (MenACWY-TT), Meningococcal vaccine GSK134612.

Nimenrix is a meningococcal ACYW conjugate vaccine, classified as a vaccine antigen, which targets Neisseria meningitidis groups A, C, W-135, and Y through polysaccharide conjugation to tetanus toxoid. It is used to prevent meningococcal infection and is effective for at least two years, resulting in a decrease in meningitis and sepsis among populations where it is widely used.
