RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes lower respiratory tract infection, with a high burden of disease among adults ≥60 years. This study assessed the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of an investigational adjuvanted RSV vaccine (RSVPreF3/AS01B) in Japanese adults aged 60-80 years. METHODS: Forty participants were randomized to receive two doses of RSVPreF3/AS01B or the placebo, in a 1:1 ratio, two months apart, in this placebo-controlled study. Solicited administration-site and systemic adverse events (AEs) were collected within 7 days and unsolicited AEs within 30 days post-vaccination. Serious AEs (SAEs) and potential immune-mediated diseases (pIMDs) were collected throughout the study (12 months post-dose 2). RSVPreF3-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody concentrations and neutralizing antibody (nAb) titers against RSV-A were evaluated on day (D)1, D31, D61, D91 and those against RSV-B on D1, D31, D91. RESULTS: Solicited AEs were reported more frequently in RSVPreF3/AS01B recipients (80.0%-90.0%) than in placebo recipients (10.0%-20.0%). Two RSVPreF3/AS01B recipients experienced grade 3 solicited AEs. Rate of unsolicited AEs were similar (30.0%-35.0%) in both groups. No RSVPreF3/AS01B recipient reported SAEs/pIMDs, while one placebo recipient reported two SAEs that were unrelated to vaccination. Baseline RSVPreF3-specific IgG and RSV-A/-B nAb levels were above the assay cut-off values. In the RSVPreF3/AS01B group, RSVPreF3-specific IgG concentrations increased 12.8-fold on D31 and 9.2-fold on D91 versus baseline while nAb titers increased 7.3-fold (RSV-A) and 8.4-fold (RSV-B) on D31 and 6.3-fold (RSV-A) and 9.9-fold (RSV-B) on D91. CONCLUSIONS: The RSVPreF3/AS01B vaccine was well tolerated and immunogenic in older Japanese adults. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04090658.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate safety and immunogenicity of vaccine formulations against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) containing the stabilized prefusion conformation of RSV fusion protein (RSVPreF3). METHODS: This phase 1/2, randomized controlled, observer-blind study enrolled 48 young adults (YAs; aged 18-40 years) and 1005 older adults (OAs; aged 60-80 years) between January and August 2019. Participants were randomized into equally sized groups to receive 2 doses of unadjuvanted (YAs and OAs) or AS01-adjuvanted (OAs) vaccine or placebo 2 months apart. Vaccine safety and immunogenicity were assessed until 1 month (YAs) or 12 months (OAs) after second vaccination. RESULTS: The RSVPreF3 vaccines boosted humoral (RSVPreF3-specific immunoglobulin G [IgG] and RSV-A neutralizing antibody) responses, which increased in an antigen concentration-dependent manner and were highest after dose 1. Compared to prevaccination, the geometric mean frequencies of polyfunctional CD4+ T cells increased after each dose and were significantly higher in adjuvanted than unadjuvanted vaccinees. Postvaccination immune responses persisted until end of follow-up. Solicited adverse events were mostly mild to moderate and transient. Despite a higher observed reactogenicity of AS01-containing vaccines, no safety concerns were identified for any assessed formulation. CONCLUSIONS: Based on safety and immunogenicity profiles, the AS01E-adjuvanted vaccine containing 120 µg of RSVPreF3 was selected for further clinical development.

INTRODUCTION: This observational retrospective matched cohort study evaluated the safety of a prenatal tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccination, Boostrix. We previously reported on the risk of maternal and neonatal outcomes; here we report on the risk of congenital anomalies in infants at birth through 6 months of age. METHODS: The study included pregnant Kaiser Permanente Southern California members. Women who received the Tdap vaccine on or after the 27th week of pregnancy between January 2018 and January 2019 were matched to women who were pregnant between January 2012 and December 2014 and were not vaccinated with Tdap during pregnancy. Unadjusted and adjusted relative risks (aRRs) with 95% confidence intervals were estimated by Poisson regression. Quantitative secular trend analyses, from 2011 to 2017, were conducted on congenital anomalies with a statistically significant aRR > 1. RESULTS: The analysis consisted of 16,350 and 16,088 live-born infants in the Tdap-exposed and unexposed cohorts, respectively. Of the 14 congenital anomaly body systems evaluated, 8 (eye, ear/face/neck, respiratory, upper gastrointestinal, genital, renal, musculoskeletal, integument) had statistically significant elevated aRRs, with point estimates ranging from 1.17 to 2.02. The observed elevated aRRs were consistent with their respective secular increases over time. CONCLUSION: Cautious interpretation of these findings is warranted as these increases may have resulted from improved identification and diagnosis. Furthermore, the biological plausibility of an association between maternal vaccine exposure in the third trimester of pregnancy and birth defects is low. The overall study findings support the safety of maternal immunization with Boostrix during the third trimester of pregnancy. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT03463577.
RESUMEN
The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety of prenatal tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccination. This cohort study was conducted among pregnant members at Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC). The exposed cohort consisted of women who received Tdap vaccine on or after the 27th week of pregnancy between January 2018 and January 2019. The unexposed cohort consisted of matched women who were pregnant between January 2012 and December 2014 and were not vaccinated with any Tdap vaccine throughout their pregnancy. Maternal and infant characteristics and pre-specified endpoints were collected through automated data and review of the electronic health records. Unadjusted and adjusted relative risks (aRRs) with confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated by Poisson regression. Non-inferiority testing (i.e., to rule out a two-fold increase) was conducted for primary endpoints with adjustment for multiplicity. Superiority testing was conducted without multiplicity adjustment for secondary endpoints. The analysis consisted of 16,606 pairs of Tdap recipients and unexposed pregnant women. For the primary endpoints, the aRR for preeclampsia/eclampsia was 1.38 (98.75% CI:1.21-1.58) and the aRR for intrauterine infection was 1.28 (98.75% CI:1.12-1.47). These increases were consistent with the background increasing trend of these diagnoses among all pregnant women at KPSC since 2011, and the upper limit of the 98.75% CI of both aRRs did not exceed the pre-specified threshold of 2. No increased risks of small for gestational age (aRR = 1.04, 98.75% CI:0.94-1.16) or preterm delivery (aRR = 0.71, 98.75% CI:0.64-0.78) were observed. No evidence of increased risks for secondary endpoints, including poor fetal growth, preterm pre-labor rupture of membranes, stillbirth/fetal death, placental abruption, transfusion during delivery hospitalization, and neonatal death, was observed. Prenatal Tdap vaccination after the 27th week of pregnancy was not associated with increased risks of pre-specified maternal and infant outcomes, supporting the safety of Tdap vaccination during pregnancy.

BACKGROUND: Transplacentally transferred antibodies induced by maternal pertussis vaccination interfere with infant immune responses to pertussis primary vaccination. We evaluated whether this interference remains in toddlers after booster vaccination. METHODS: In a prior phase IV, observer-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study (NCT02377349), pregnant women in Australia, Canada and Europe received intramuscular tetanus-reduced-antigen-content diphtheria-three-component acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap group) or placebo (control group) at 270/7-366/7 weeks' gestation, with crossover immunization postpartum. Their infants were primed (study NCT02422264) and boosted (at 11-18 months; current study NCT02853929) with diphtheria-tetanus-three-component acellular pertussis-hepatitis B virus-inactivated poliovirus/Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine (DTaP-HepB-IPV/Hib) and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. Immunogenicity before and after booster vaccination, and reactogenicity and safety of the booster were evaluated descriptively. RESULTS: 263 (Tdap group) and 277 (control group) toddlers received a DTaP-HepB-IPV/Hib booster. Pre-booster vaccination, observed geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) for the three pertussis antigens and diphtheria were 1.4-1.5-fold higher in controls than in the Tdap group. No differences were observed for the other DTaP-HepB-IPV/Hib antigens. One month post-booster vaccination, booster response rates for pertussis antigens were ≥ 92.1% and seroprotection rates for the other DTaP-HepB-IPV/Hib antigens were ≥ 99.2% in both groups (primary objective). Higher post-booster GMCs were observed in controls versus the Tdap group for anti-filamentous hemagglutinin (1.2-fold), anti-pertussis toxoid (1.5-fold) and anti-diphtheria (1.4-fold). GMCs for the other DTaP-HepB-IPV/Hib antigens were similar between groups. Serious adverse events were reported for three toddlers (controls, not vaccination-related). One death occurred pre-booster (Tdap group, not vaccination-related). CONCLUSIONS: As a consequence of interference of maternal pertussis antibodies with infant immune responses to pertussis primary vaccination, pertussis antibody concentrations were still lower in toddlers from Tdap-vaccinated mothers before DTaP-HepB-IPV/Hib booster vaccination. After the booster, antibody concentrations were lower for filamentous hemagglutinin and pertussis toxoid but not for pertactin. The clinical significance of this interference requires further evaluation. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02853929.

BACKGROUND: Pertussis immunization during pregnancy results in high pertussis antibody concentrations in young infants but may interfere with infant immune responses to post-natal immunization. METHODS: This phase IV, multi-country, open-label study assessed the immunogenicity and safety of infant primary vaccination with DTaP-HepB-IPV/Hib and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13). Enrolled infants (6-14â¯weeks old) were born to mothers who were randomized to receive reduced-antigen-content diphtheria-tetanus-three-component acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap group) or placebo (control group) during pregnancy (270/7-366/7 weeks' gestation) with crossover immunization postpartum. All infants received 2 or 3 DTaP-HepB-IPV/Hib and PCV13 doses according to national schedules. Immunogenicity was assessed in infants pre- and 1â¯month post-primary vaccination. The primary objective was to assess seroprotection/vaccine response rates for DTaP-HepB-IPV/Hib antigens 1â¯month post-primary vaccination. RESULTS: 601 infants (Tdap group: 296; control group: 305) were vaccinated. One month post-priming, seroprotection rates were 100% (diphtheria; tetanus), ≥98.5% (hepatitis B), ≥95.9% (polio) and ≥94.5% (Hib) in both groups. Vaccine response rates for pertussis antigens were significantly lower in infants whose mothers received pregnancy Tdap (37.5-77.1%) versus placebo (90.0-99.2%). Solicited and unsolicited adverse event rates were similar between groups. Serious adverse events occurred in 2.4% (Tdap group) and 5.6% (control group) of infants, none were vaccination-related. CONCLUSIONS: Pertussis antibodies transferred during pregnancy may decrease the risk of pertussis infection in the first months of life but interfere with the infant's ability to produce pertussis antibodies, the clinical significance of which remains unknown. Safety and reactogenicity results were consistent with previous experience. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02422264.

BACKGROUND: Pertussis immunization during pregnancy is recommended in many countries. Data from large randomized controlled trials are needed to assess the immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of this approach. METHODS: This phase IV, observer-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial assessed immunogenicity, transplacental transfer of maternal pertussis antibodies, reactogenicity and safety of a reduced-antigen-content diphtheria-tetanus-three-component acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) during pregnancy. Women received Tdap or placebo at 27-36â¯weeks' gestation with crossoverâ¯≤â¯72-hour-postpartum immunization. Immune responses were assessed before the pregnancy dose and 1â¯month after, and from the umbilical cord at delivery. Superiority (primary objective) was reached if the lower limits of the 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the pertussis geometric mean concentration (GMC) ratios (Tdap/control) in cord blood wereâ¯≥â¯1.5. Solicited and unsolicited adverse events (AEs) and pregnancy-/neonate-related AEs of interest were recorded. RESULTS: 687 pregnant women were vaccinated (Tdap: Nâ¯=â¯341 control: Nâ¯=â¯346). Superiority of the pertussis immune response (maternally transferred pertussis antibodies in cord blood) was demonstrated by the GMC ratios (Tdap/control): 16.1 (95% CI: 13.5-19.2) for anti-filamentous hemagglutinin, 20.7 (15.9-26.9) for anti-pertactin and 8.5 (7.0-10.2) for anti-pertussis toxoid. Rates of pregnancy-/neonate-related AEs of interest, solicited general and unsolicited AEs were similar between groups. None of the serious AEs reported throughout the study were considered related to maternal Tdap vaccination. CONCLUSIONS: Tdap vaccination during pregnancy resulted in high levels of pertussis antibodies in cord blood, was well tolerated and had an acceptable safety profile. This supports the recommendation of Tdap vaccination during pregnancy to prevent early-infant pertussis disease. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02377349.

Reduced antigen diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccination is included in the maternal immunization program in Brazil since September 2014. We investigated associations between maternal Tdap vaccination and pregnancy-related adverse events (AEs) (gestational diabetes, pregnancy-related hypertension, and pregnancy hemorrhage) and neonatal AEs of interest (preterm birth and small for gestational age). This descriptive, observational, retrospective, single-center study in Brazil (NCT02757950) compared data from medical charts of 1203 pregnant women who received Tdap as part of the maternal immunization program and delivered between May 2015 and February 2017 (exposed cohort) and 1259 unvaccinated women who delivered between September 2012 and August 2014 (unexposed cohort). Index dates were defined as the time of vaccination (27-39 gestational weeks; exposed cohort) or 27 gestational weeks (unexposed cohort). Cumulative incidences were calculated as the number of women with each event between index and delivery dates divided by the total number of women with vaccination date available in the exposed cohort (N = 1199) or the total number of women in the unexposed cohort (N = 1259). Cumulative incidences per 1000 persons were 8.34 versus 17.47 for gestational diabetes, 9.17 versus 24.62 for pregnancy-related hypertension, 3.34 versus 15.09 for pregnancy hemorrhage, 53.38 versus 96.11 for preterm birth, and 57.55 versus 49.25 for small for gestational age in the exposed versus unexposed cohorts. No increased risk of pregnancy-related AEs or neonatal AEs of interest was found following maternal vaccination with Tdap. These results should be interpreted cautiously due to limitations inherent to retrospective observational studies.

We evaluated antibody persistence against hepatitis B virus (HBV) in adolescents previously vaccinated with a hexavalent diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-HBV-inactivated poliovirus-Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine (DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib), as part of the national newborn immunization program in Germany. We also assessed the anamnestic response to a challenge dose of a monovalent HBV vaccine. In this phase 4, open-label, non-randomized study (NCT02798952), 302 adolescents aged 14-15 years, primed in their first 2 years of life with 4 DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib doses, received one challenge dose of monovalent HBV vaccine. Blood samples were taken before and one month post-vaccination and used to determine antibody levels against hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs). Reactogenicity and safety were also assessed post-challenge dose. Pre-challenge dose, 53.7% of 268 participants included in the according-to-protocol cohort for immunogenicity had anti-HBs antibody concentrations ≥10 mIU/mL (seroprotection cut-off) and 16.8% had anti-HBs antibody concentrations ≥100 mIU/mL. One month post-challenge dose, 93.3% of adolescents had anti-HBs antibody concentrations ≥10 mIU/mL and 87.3% had antibody concentrations ≥100 mIU/mL. An anamnestic response was mounted in 92.5% of adolescents. Injection site pain (in 33.6% of participants) and fatigue (30.2%) were the most frequently reported solicited local and general symptoms, respectively. Six of the 55 unsolicited adverse events reported were considered vaccination-related. Two vaccination-unrelated serious adverse events were reported during the study. Long-term antibody persistence against hepatitis B was observed in 14-15 years old adolescents previously primed in infancy with DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib. A challenge dose of monovalent HBV vaccine induced strong anamnestic response, with no safety concerns.

This phase III, open-label, randomized study (NCT01978093) evaluated the immunogenicity and safety of co-administered Haemophilus influenzae type b-Neisseria meningitidis serogroups C and Y-tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine (Hib-MenCY-TT) with human rotavirus vaccine (HRV), hepatitis A vaccine (HAV) and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13). We randomized 600 infants (1:1) to receive 4 doses of Hib-MenCY-TT at 2, 4, 6 and 12-15 months of age or 3 doses of Hib vaccine conjugated to N. meningitidis outer membrane protein complex (Hib-OMP) at 2, 4 and 12-15 months of age. All infants received HRV at 2 and 4 months of age, PCV13 at 2, 4, 6 and 12-15 months of age, HAV at 12-15 and 18-21 months of age, and diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-hepatitis B-inactivated poliovirus vaccine at 2, 4 and 6 months of age. We measured immune responses against HRV, HAV and Hib with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and against MenC/MenY with serum bactericidal assays using human complement. The 4-dose vaccination series with Hib-MenCY-TT induced a robust immune response against Hib, which was non-inferior to that induced by a 3-dose vaccination series with Hib-OMP, and against MenC and MenY. Hib-MenCY-TT did not interfere with immune responses to concomitantly administered HRV, PCV13 and HAV. We did not identify any safety concern. In conclusion, we showed that 4-dose vaccination series with Hib-MenCY-TT during infancy did not interfere with immune responses of co-administered HRV, PCV13 and HAV, induced robust immune responses against Hib, MenC and MenY, and had a clinically acceptable safety profile.

We assessed the immunogenicity and safety of a three-dose primary vaccination schedule with the combined diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-inactivated poliovirus/Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine (DTPa-IPV/Hib) in Korean infants. In this phase III open-label, multicenter study (NCT01309646), healthy infants aged 42-69 days (randomized 1:1) received three doses of either pentavalent DTPa-IPV/Hib (DTPa-IPV/Hib group) or DTPa-IPV and Hib vaccines administered separately (DTPa-IPV+Hib group) at 2, 4, 6 months of age. The primary objective was to demonstrate non-inferiority of DTPa-IPV/Hib compared to DTPa-IPV+Hib vaccines in terms of immune responses to all vaccine antigens, 1 month post-dose 3. Solicited symptoms (local and general) were recorded during 4 days, and unsolicited adverse events (AEs) during 31 days, after each vaccination. Serious AEs (SAEs) were recorded throughout the study duration. The immunogenicity of the pentavalent DTPa-IPV/Hib vaccine was non-inferior compared to concomitant administration of DTPa-IPV+Hib vaccines. One month post-dose 3, nearly all infants had antibody levels above the seroprotective thresholds for anti-diphtheria toxoid, anti-tetanus toxoid, anti-polyribosyl-ribitol phosphate, and anti-poliovirus type 1, 2 and 3, and had antibody levels above the seropositive thresholds for anti-pertussis toxoid (PT), anti-filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) and anti-pertactin (PRN) antibodies. A vaccine response for PT, FHA and PRN was observed in at least 96.7% of study participants. Anti-PRP geometric mean concentrations appeared lower for the DTPa-IPV/Hib group (8.456 µg/mL) than for the DTPa-IPV+Hib group (18.700 µg/mL). In both groups, the most common solicited symptoms were injection site redness and irritability. Fifty-seven SAEs were reported throughout the study; none were considered to be vaccination related.

Combined hexavalent diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-hepatitis B-inactivated poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine (DTaP-HBV-IPV/Hib) can further reduce the number of injections in pediatric immunization schedules of countries currently using pentavalent DTaP combination vaccines. This open-label, randomized, multicenter study (NCT02096263) conducted in the United States evaluated the immunogenicity and safety of DTaP-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine compared with concomitant administration of DTaP-HBV-IPV and HibA or DTaP-IPV/Hib and HBV vaccines. We randomized (1:1:1) infants to receive 3-dose priming with DTaP-HBV-IPV/Hib boosted with DTaP+ HibB, DTaP-HBV-IPV+ HibA boosted with DTaP+ HibA, or DTaP-IPV/Hib+ HBV boosted with DTaP-IPV/Hib, at 2, 4, 6, and 15-18 months of age. We enrolled and vaccinated 585 participants, 486 received a booster, and 476 completed the study. Of these, 466 participants were included in the primary and 408 in the booster according-to-protocol cohorts for immunogenicity. We demonstrated non-inferiority of DTaP-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine to DTaP-HBV-IPV+ HibA co-administered vaccines in terms of geometric mean concentrations for pertussis antibodies post-primary vaccination. Post-primary vaccination, seroprotection/seropositivity rates for all vaccine antigens were similarly high between DTaP-HBV-IPV/Hib (≥ 94.8%), DTaP-HBV-IPV+ HibA (≥ 98.1%) or DTaP-IPV/Hib+ HBV (≥ 97.8%) groups. We observed robust immune responses post-booster, indicating effective priming by the 3 regimens. Reactogenicity was similar in the 3 groups. Twenty-eight serious adverse events were reported during the study; 3 were considered related to vaccination and resolved by the end of the study. These results confirm that DTaP-HBV-IPV/Hib could be a valuable additional source of pediatric DTaP, IPV, HBV, and Hib-containing vaccine in countries that currently use multivalent vaccines.

BACKGROUND: Over the last decades, pertussis showed periodic increases in its incidence among adults, despite being a vaccine-preventable disease. METHODS: This phase III, multicenter, extension study (NCT00489970) was conducted in adults from the United States, followed at Year (Y) 5 and Y9 post-vaccination with a dose of reduced-antigen-content tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccine containing either 3 (Tdap-B group) or 5 pertussis components (Tdap-A group). Willing participants in Tdap groups and newly-recruited participants (Control group) received one Tdap-B dose at Y9. Antibody persistence (at Y5 and Y9) and safety of Tdap-B at Y9 were assessed. Non-inferiority of immune response elicited by 2 Tdap doses was evaluated at Y9: (i) versus one Tdap-B dose for diphtheria and tetanus in terms of seroprotection rates; (ii) for all antigens in terms of booster response rates (Tdap-B and Tdap-A groups versus Control group); and (iii) for pertussis antigens in terms of geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) versus a 3-dose series of a combined diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine (DTPa) administered during infancy. RESULTS: 1257 participants were enrolled at Y5 and 809 participants were vaccinated at Y9. Seroprotection rates in both Tdap groups were ≥98.4% and ≥98.0% (Y5) and ≥98.3% and ≥98.1% (Y9) for diphtheria and tetanus, respectively. For pertussis antigens, antibody concentrations above assay cut-offs were observed for ≥76.6% (Y5) and ≥84.9% (Y9) of participants in Tdap groups. At Y9, one month post-Tdap vaccination, comparable seroprotection/seropositivity rates and antibody GMCs were observed among groups. Non-inferiority of immune responses in both Tdap groups was demonstrated when compared to the Control group for diphtheria and tetanus and to a 3-dose DTPa series for pertussis antigens. Non-inferiority criteria in terms of booster response were not met for all antigens. No safety concerns were raised. CONCLUSION: A second dose of Tdap-B administered in adults, 9â¯years after initial Tdap vaccination, is immunogenic and well-tolerated.

INTRODUCTION: Combination vaccines improve vaccine uptake and open the infant immunization space for additional vaccines. Hexavalent vaccines have been marketed since 2000. Infanrix hexa (combined diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-hepatitis B-inactivated poliovirus-Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine, DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib, GSK) is longest on the market, providing 16 years post-marketing experience. Each DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine component is licensed alone and/or in smaller combination vaccines. Programmatic considerations sometimes require an interchange between vaccines due to unavailability, program change or mixed schedules (when the number of required antigens differs across scheduled primary vaccination visits). AREAS COVERED: Immunogenicity and safety data from 11 GSK-sponsored clinical trials support the interchangeability of DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib within the same vaccines family, and use of DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib in mixed primary vaccination schedules. EXPERT COMMENTARY: Data show acceptability of interchange of DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib with other products within the same vaccines family and its use in mixed immunization schedules. This aligns with WHO recommendations that vaccines of the same family from the same manufacturer be used to complete the infant vaccination schedule. Interchangeability and suitability for use in mixed schedules is of interest for policy-makers/providers in the framework of vaccination recommendations as it provides flexibility. Given the complexity of larger combination vaccines, interchangeability or sequential use needs careful assessment.

Pertussis is a highly contagious disease, for which periodic peaks in incidence and an increasing number of outbreaks have been observed over the last decades. The reduced-antigen-content tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) can be used to boost individuals aged ≥10 years, vaccinated in infancy with a diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine (DTaP), to reduce pertussis morbidity and maintain protection against diphtheria and tetanus throughout adolescence and adulthood. This phase III, open-label, non-randomized, multicenter follow-up study (NCT01738477) enrolled 19-30-year-old participants from the United States who had received booster vaccination 10 years earlier with either Tdap (Tdap group) or Td (Td group). In total, 128 (Tdap group) and 37 (Td group) participants received Tdap vaccination. After administration of Tdap, all participants were seroprotected (antibody concentrations ≥0.1 international units [IU]/ml) against diphtheria and tetanus. Immune responses to a second Tdap dose in the Tdap group were shown to be non-inferior to responses elicited by a first Tdap dose in the Td group for diphtheria and tetanus and to a 3-dose DTaP vaccination during infancy for pertussis antigens (primary objectives). Post-booster vaccination, all participants in both groups had antibody concentrations above assay cut-offs and antibody geometric mean concentrations increased by 3.8-15.5-fold compared to pre-booster levels for all antigens. The incidence of adverse events was similar in the Td (80.6%) and Tdap (85.6%) groups (no serious adverse events reported). A Tdap dose administered after previous Td or Tdap vaccination was shown to be immunogenic and well-tolerated in young adults, supporting repeated vaccination with Tdap at 10-year intervals.

AIM: To evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a reduced antigen diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-inactivated poliovirus (dTap-IPVB) vaccine (Boostrix-IPV, GSK) as a pre-school booster in 3-4â¯year old children as compared to dTap-IPVR (Repevax, Sanofi Pasteur), when co-administered with mumps-measles-rubella vaccine (MMRV). METHODS: This phase III, open label, randomised study was conducted in the UK between April 2011 and April 2012. Children due their pre-school dTap-IPV booster vaccination were randomised 2:1 to receive one of two different dTap-IPV vaccines (dTap-IPVB or dTap-IPVR) with blood sample for immunogenicity assessment just prior and one month after vaccination. Immune responses to diphtheria, tetanus and polio antigens were compared between the study vaccines (inferential comparison). In the absence of an accepted pertussis correlate of protection, the immunogenicity of dTap-IPVB vaccine against pertussis was compared with historical pertussis efficacy data (inferential comparison). Safety and reactogenicity of both study vaccines were evaluated. RESULTS: 387 children were randomised and 385 vaccinated: 255 in the dTap-IPVB group and 130 in the dTap-IPVR group. Prior to vaccination, ≥76.8% of children had anti-diphtheria and ≥65.5% had anti-tetanus titres above the protection threshold; for pertussis, the pre-vaccination seropositivity rate ranged between 18.1 and 70.6%. Both vaccines were immunogenic with 99.2-100% of children achieving titres above the pre-specified seroprotection/seropositivity thresholds. One serious adverse event not considered as causally related to the study vaccination by the study investigator was reported in the dTap-IPVB group. CONCLUSION: Non-inferiority of dTap-IPVB to dTap-IPVR was demonstrated. Both vaccines had a clinically acceptable safety and reactogenicity profile when co-administered with MMRV to children 3-4â¯years old. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT01245049 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

BACKGROUND: Infants with history of prematurity (<37â¯weeks gestation) and low birth weight (LBW, <2500â¯g) are at high risk of infection due to functional immaturity of normal physical and immunological defense mechanisms. Despite current recommendations that infants with history of prematurity/LBW should receive routine immunization according to the same schedule and chronological age as full-term infants, immunization is often delayed. METHODS: Here we summarize 10 clinical studies and 15â¯years of post-marketing safety surveillance of GSK's hexavalent vaccine (DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib), a combined diphtheria-tetanus-acellular-pertussis-hepatitis-B-inactivated-poliovirus-Haemophilus influenzae-type-b (Hib) conjugate vaccine, when administered alone, or co-administered with pneumococcal conjugate, rotavirus, and meningococcal vaccines and respiratory syncytial virus IgG to infants with history of prematurity/LBW in clinical trials. RESULTS: At least 92.5% of infants with history of prematurity/LBW as young as 24â¯weeks gestation in clinical studies were seropositive to all vaccine antigens after 3-dose primary vaccination with GSK's hexavalent DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine, with robust immune responses to booster vaccination. Seropositivity rates and antibody concentrations to hepatitis B and Hib appeared lower in infants with history of prematurity/LBW than term infants. Between 13-30% of medically stable infants with history of prematurity developed apnea after vaccination with GSK's hexavalent DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine; usually after dose 1. The occurrence of post-immunization cardiorespiratory events appears to be influenced by the severity of any underlying neonatal condition. Most cardiorespiratory events resolve spontaneously or require minimal intervention. GSK's hexavalent DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine was well tolerated in co-administration regimens. CONCLUSION: GSK's hexavalent DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine alone or co-administered with other pediatric vaccines has a clinically acceptable safety and immunogenicity profile when used in infants with history of prematurity/LBW for primary and booster vaccination. Additional studies are needed in very premature and very LBW infants. However, currently available data support using GSK's hexavalent DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine to immunize infants with history of prematurity/LBW according to chronological age.

BACKGROUND: Vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is included in routine pediatric immunization schedule in the United States. Previous vaccine shortages have created the need for additional options for Hib vaccination. METHODS: This phase III, randomized, multi-centered study (NCT01000974) evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of a monovalent tetanus toxoid-conjugate Hib vaccine (Hib-TT) compared to a monovalent (Hib-TT control) and a combination Hib-TT vaccine. We hierarchically assessed lot-to-lot consistency of 3 Hib-TT lots and non-inferiority of Hib-TT to Hib-TT control. We co-administered routine pediatric vaccines with Hib-TT vaccines at 2, 4, 6months (primary vaccination) and 15-18months of age (booster vaccination). We recorded adverse events (AEs) for 4 (solicited) and 31days (unsolicited) post-vaccination and serious AEs (SAEs) throughout the study. RESULTS: Of 4009 enrolled children, 3086 completed booster phase. Lot-to-lot consistency was not demonstrated. The study met statistical criteria for non-inferiority of Hib-TT to Hib-TT control in terms of immune responses to Hib and co-administered vaccines' antigens, but not in terms of participants achieving post-primary vaccination anti-PRP levels ≥1µg/mL. Because of the hierarchical nature of the objectives, non-inferiority could not be established. In all groups, 92.5-96.7% and 99.6-100% of participants achieved anti-PRP levels ≥0.15µg/mL, while 78.3-89.8% and 97.9-99.1% had anti-PRP levels ≥1µg/mL, post-primary and post-booster vaccination, respectively. Immune responses to co-administered vaccines and reported incidence of AEs were comparable among groups. We recorded SAEs for 107/2963 (3.6%), 24/520 (4.6%), and 21/520 (4.0%) children post-primary vaccination, and 29/2337 (1.2%), 4/435 (0.9%), and 2/400 (0.5%) children post-booster vaccination with Hib-TT, Hib-TT control and combination Hib-TT vaccine, respectively; 6/5330 (0.1%) SAEs in the Hib-TT groups were considered vaccine-related. CONCLUSION: Hib-TT induced seroprotective antibody concentrations in the majority of participants and was well-tolerated when co-administered with routine pediatric vaccines according to a 3+1 schedule.

Safety and immunogenicity of 2 investigational formulations of diphtheria, tetanus and Haemophilus influenzae type b antigens of the combined diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-hepatitis B-inactivated poliomyelitis-Hib vaccine (DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib) were evaluated in a Primary (NCT01248884) and a Booster vaccination (NCT01453998) study. In the Primary study, 721 healthy infants (randomized 1:1:1) received 3 doses of DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib formulation A (DATAPa-HBV-IPV/Hib), or B (DBTBPa-HBV-IPV/Hib) or the licensed DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine (Infanrix hexa, GSK; control group) at 2, 3, 4 months of age. Infants were planned to receive a booster dose at 12-15 months of age with the same formulation received in the Primary study; however, following high incidence of fever associated with the investigational formulations in the Primary study, the Booster study protocol was amended and all infants yet to receive a booster dose (N = 385) received the licensed vaccine. In the Primary study, non-inferiority of 3-dose vaccination with investigational formulations compared with the licensed vaccine was not demonstrated due to anti-pertactin failing to meet the non-inferiority criterion. Post-primary vaccination, most infants had seroprotective levels of anti-diphtheria (100% of infants), anti-tetanus antigens (100%), against hepatitis B (≥ 97.5% across groups), polyribosyl-ribitol-phosphate (≥ 88.0%) and poliovirus types 1-3 (≥ 90.5%). Seropositivity rates for each pertussis antigen were 100% in all groups. Higher incidence of fever (> 38°C) was reported in infants receiving the investigational formulations (Primary study: 75.0% [A] and 72.1% [B] vs 58.8% [control]; Booster study, before amendment: 49.4% and 46.6% vs 37.4%, respectively). The development of the investigational formulations was not further pursued.
