BACKGROUND: Influenza A/H7N9 viruses have pandemic potential. METHODS: We conducted an open-label, randomized, controlled trial of AS03-adjuvanted 2017 inactivated influenza A/H7N9 vaccine (H7N9 IIV) in healthy adults. Group 1 received H7N9 IIV and seasonal quadrivalent influenza vaccine (IIV4) simultaneously, followed by H7N9 IIV three weeks later. Group 2 received IIV4 alone and then two doses of H7N9 IIV at three-week intervals. Group 3 received one dose of IIV4. We used hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) and microneutralization (MN) assays to measure geometric mean titers and seroprotection (≥1:40 titer) to vaccine strains and monitored for safety. RESULTS: Among 149 subjects, seroprotection by HAI three weeks after H7N9 IIV dose 2 was 51% (95 %CI 37%-65%) for Group 1 and 40% (95 %CI 25%-56%) for Group 2. Seroprotection by MN at the same timepoint was 84% (95 %CI 72%-93%) for Group 1 and 74% (95 %CI 60%-86%) for Group 2. By 180 days after H7N9 IIV dose 2, seroprotection by HAI or MN was low for Groups 1 and 2. Responses measured by HAI and MN against each IIV4 strain three weeks after IIV4 vaccination were similar in all groups. Solicited local and systemic reactions were similar after a single vaccination, while those receiving simultaneous H7N9 and IIV4 had slightly more reactogenicity. There were no serious adverse events or medically-attended adverse events related to study product receipt. CONCLUSIONS: Adjuvanted H7N9 IIV was modestly immunogenic whether administered simultaneously or sequentially with IIV4, though responses declined by 180 days. IIV4 was immunogenic regardless of schedule. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION: NCT03318315

Objective In response to the emergence of influenza viruses with pandemic potential, we evaluated a swine-origin influenza A/H3N2 variant (H3N2v) vaccine in children. Study design This multicenter phase II open-label study assessed the safety and immunogenicity of two doses, 21 days apart, of investigational unadjuvanted subvirion monovalent inactivated H3N2v vaccine administered via intramuscular injection. Children 6–35 months of age received 7.5mcg or 15mcg of hemagglutinin (HA)/dose; children 3–17 years of age received 15mcg HA/dose. Safety and reactogenicity were assessed by measuring the occurrence of solicited injection site and systemic reactions in the 7 days after each vaccination; adverse events were assessed for 42 days and serious adverse events for 7 months after the first vaccination. Immunogenicity was evaluated by measuring hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) and neutralizing (Neut) antibodies to H3N2v prior to and 21 days after each vaccination. Cross-reactivity against seasonal H3N2 strains was evaluated. Results The H3N2v vaccine was well tolerated. Transient mild to moderate injection site tenderness, pain and erythema was observed, with the most commonly reported systemic reactogenicity being irritability in children 6–35 months, and headache and fatigue in children 9–17 years old. Children 6–35 months old, whether they received 7.5mcg or 15mcg/dose, had low HAI and Neut antibody responses after two doses compared to older children. Children under 9 years of age required two doses of vaccine to demonstrate a response, while 9–17 year olds responded well after one dose. Previous influenza vaccination and older age were associated with higher immune responses to H3N2v vaccine. Children 9–17 years of age also developed cross-reactive antibodies against recent seasonal H3N2 influenza viruses. Conclusion The H3N2v vaccine was safe and immunogenic in children and adolescents. Age-related increases in immunogenicity against H3N2v and seasonal H3N2 viruses were observed, suggesting prior priming via infection and/or immunization. Clinical trial registry: The trial is registered with clinicaltrial.gov: NCT02100436 .

Background The decline in immune function with age is a challenge to vaccine development. Following an initial study in adults aged 18–64 years, this study evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) 4-antigen (SA4Ag) and 3-antigen (SA3Ag) vaccine in older adults. SA3Ag included capsular polysaccharide serotypes 5 and 8 (CP5 and CP8) conjugated to the nontoxic mutant form of diphtheria toxin (CRM197) and a recombinant version of clumping factor A (ClfA). SA4Ag included these antigens, with the addition of a recombinant manganese transporter C (rP305A or MntC). Both vaccines were unadjuvanted. Methods In this double-blind, sponsor-unblinded, placebo-controlled, phase 1/2 study, 284 healthy adults (aged 65–85 years) were randomised to receive a single dose of one of three formulations of SA4Ag with escalating dose levels of rP305A, SA3Ag, or placebo. Functional immune responses were measured using opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) killing and fibrinogen-binding inhibition (FBI) assays; immunogenicity was also assessed using a competitive Luminex® immunoassay (cLIA). T-cell responses were measured in a small subgroup of subjects using intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) assays. Results The results demonstrated rapid and robust functional immune responses to all antigens in healthy older adults. A high proportion of active vaccine recipients met the pre-defined antibody thresholds for each antigen at Day 29. SA4Ag elicited a dose-level response to rP305A with up to a 13-fold rise in cLIA titres at Day 29. Opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) assays showed >50- and >20-fold rises in functional titres using S. aureus strains expressing CP5 and CP8, respectively, at Day 29. T-cell cytokine responses were not substantially above background levels. There were no safety concerns in this study population and no increases in adverse events with higher rP305A dose levels. Conclusions Single-dose vaccination of SA4Ag and SA3Ag in healthy adults aged 65–85 years safely induced rapid and robust functional immune responses, supporting further development of SA4Ag for the prevention of S. aureus disease in adults up to age 85 years. Trial registration number: NCT01643941 .

Background A prophylactic Staphylococcus aureus four-antigen vaccine (SA4Ag) is under development for prevention of invasive S. aureus disease. A preliminary S. aureus three-antigen vaccine (SA3Ag) was reformulated to include a novel manganese transporter protein (MntC or rP305A). This study describes the first-in-human dose-finding, safety, and immunogenicity results for SA4Ag. Methods In this double-blind, sponsor-unblind, placebo-controlled, phase 1/2 study, 454 healthy adults aged 18–64 years were randomised to receive a single dose of one of three formulations of SA4Ag with escalating dose levels of rP305A or placebo. Functional immune responses were measured using opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) killing and fibrinogen-binding inhibition (FBI) assays; antigen-specific immunogenicity was assessed using a four-plex competitive Luminex® immunoassay (cLIA). Results A high proportion of SA4Ag recipients met the pre-defined antibody thresholds for each antigen at Day 29. A substantial and dose-level dependent immune response was observed for rP305A, with up to 18-fold rises in cLIA titres at Day 29. Robust functional responses were demonstrated, with >80-fold and >20-fold rises in OPA assay titres at Day 29 using S. aureus strains expressing capsular polysaccharide serotypes 5 and 8, respectively. Durable antibody responses were observed through month 12, gradually waning from peak levels achieved by days 11–15. SA4Ag was well tolerated, and no vaccine-related serious adverse events were reported. Conclusions Single-dose vaccination of SA4Ag in healthy adults aged 18–64 years safely induced rapid and robust functional immune responses that were durable through month 12, supporting further development of this vaccine.

Purpose The study aims were to determine whether inactivated influenza A/H5N1 vaccine administration elicited cell mediated immune (CMI) responses and the impact of adjuvant, vaccine dose and subject age on these responses. Methods Adults who were previously primed with either adjuvanted or unadjuvanted, inactivated, A/H5N1/Vietnam/1203/2004 (Clade 1) vaccine or unprimed (received placebo) in previous vaccine studies were randomized to receive one (primed) or two (unprimed) 15- or 90-mcg doses of inactivated, A/H5N1/Indonesia/05/05 (Clade 2) vaccine. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected and analyzed from a subset of vaccinees to assess CMI responses using IFN-γ and granzyme B ELISPOT assays. Cytokine measurements were performed on PBMC supernatants after stimulation with H5N1 virus. Results PBMCs were available from 177 participants; 88 and 89 received 15-mcg and 90-mcg of unadjuvanted clade 2 vaccine, respectively. Following H5N1 clade 1 stimulation, IFN-γ but not granzyme B normalized spot-forming cell numbers had statistically significant increased numbers at each of the post-vaccination timepoints compared to baseline in pooled analyses of all vaccine doses and age groups. Clade 2 stimulation resulted in statistically significant increased numbers of IFN-γ cells only 180 days following the last vaccination. Responses were similar among younger and older study participants, as were responses among those primed with alum-adjuvanted or non-adjuvanted clade 1 H5N1 vaccines. The dosage of clade 2 vaccine did not impact CMI responses among primed subjects, but responses were statistically significantly greater in unprimed recipients of the 90-mcg dosage compared to unprimed recipients of the 15-mcg dosage. IFN-γ levels in the supernatants of stimulated PBMC were strongly correlated with IFN-γ ELISPOT results. Conclusion CMI responses occur in adults administered influenza A/H5N1 inactivated influenza vaccine.

Background There is a critical need for an effective Staphylococcus aureus vaccine for the prevention of staphylococcal disease. In this study, we investigated the impact of S. aureus conjugate vaccine comprised of capsular polysaccharides 5 and 8 (CP5, CP8) on nasal colonization with S. aureus . Methods Healthy adults recruited from one academic medical center to participate in a lot consistency trial of StaphVAX ® ( S. aureus capsular polysaccharide 5 and 8 conjugate vaccine) were assessed for S. aureus nasal colonization at two weekly points prior to vaccination and again at six weeks post-vaccination. Serum anti-capsular antibody titers to CP5 and CP8 were obtained prior to vaccination and 42 days post-vaccination and measured by ELISA. Results Thirty of 88 enrolled subjects (34%) had S. aureus isolated from at least one of the pre-immunization cultures. Of these, 20 were termed persistent carriers due to two positive cultures one week apart; 19 of the 20 were evaluable at Day 42. Baseline anti-CP8 concentrations were higher in persistent carriers of CP8+ S. aureus ; however, baseline anti-CP5 levels were not significantly higher in individuals persistently colonized with CP5+ S. aureus . Statistically significant rises in antibody concentrations were noted after vaccination. At Day 42, 14 of 19 persistent carriers remained colonized; 5 subjects did not have evidence of S. aureus colonization. Ten additional subjects were positive for S. aureus at Day 42 who were not persistently colonized at baseline. Serum antibody concentrations were not statistically different between those with persistent carriage vs. those that lost carriage or those with newly acquired carriage. Conclusions Immune responses to vaccine were brisk and comparable in subjects with or without persistent colonization. Despite a substantial rise in anti-CP5 and anti-CP8 antibody concentrations post-vaccination, S. aureus nasal colonization rates did not significantly change.

Background Modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) is being developed as a safer smallpox vaccine and is being placed in the US Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) as a liquid formulation for subcutaneous (SC) administration at a dose of 1 × 10 8 TCID 50 in a volume of 0.5 mL. This study compared the safety and immunogenicity of the standard formulation, dose and route with both a more stable, lyophilized formulation and with an antigen-sparing intradermal (ID) route of administration. Methods 524 subjects were randomized to receive either a full dose of Lyophilized-SC, a full dose of Liquid-SC or 20% (2 × 10 7 TCID 50 in 0.1 mL) of a full dose Liquid-ID MVA on Days 0 and 28. Safety and immunogenicity were followed through 180 days post second vaccination. Results Among the 3 groups, the proportion of subjects with moderate/severe functional local reactions was significantly different ( P = 0.0013) between the Lyophilized-SC group (30.3%), the Liquid-SC group (13.8%) and Liquid-ID group (22.0%) only after first vaccination; and for moderate/severe measured erythema and/or induration after any vaccination ( P = 0.0001) between the Lyophilized-SC group (58.2%), the Liquid-SC group (58.1%) and the Liquid-ID group (94.8%) and the reactions lasted longer in the Liquid-ID group. In the ID Group, 36.1% of subjects had mild injection site skin discoloration lasting ≥6 months. After second vaccination Day (42–208), geometric mean of peak neutralization titers were 87.8, 49.5 and 59.5 for the Lyophilized-SC, Liquid-SC and Liquid-ID groups, respectively, and the maximum number of responders based on peak titer in each group was 142/145 (97.9%), 142/149 (95.3%) and 138/146 (94.5%), respectively. At 180 days after the second vaccination, geometric mean neutralization titers declined to 11.7, 10.2 and 10.4 with only 54.3%, 39.2% and 35.2% of subjects remaining seropositive for the Lyophilized-SC, Liquid-SC and Liquid-ID groups, respectively. Both the Lyophilized-SC and Liquid-ID groups were considered non-inferior (primary objective) to the Liquid-SC group. Conclusions Transitioning to a lyophilized formulation, which has a longer shelf life, will not negatively impact immunogenicity. In a situation where insufficient vaccine is available, ID vaccination could be used, increasing the number of available doses of vaccine in the SNS 5-fold (i.e., from 20 million to 100 million doses).
