RESUMO
There is an ongoing burden of pneumococcal disease in children despite the use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs). This phase 3, open-label, single-arm, multisite, descriptive study was designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a 3 + 1 regimen of V114 (VAXNEUVANCE™), a 15-valent PCV, in South Korean infants and toddlers. Adverse events (AEs) were reported for 14 d following any vaccination, and throughout the study period for serious AEs. Serotype-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) response rates (proportion of participants meeting an IgG threshold value of ≥0.35 µg/mL) and geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) for the 15 serotypes at 30 d postdose 3 (PD3) and at 30 d postdose 4 (PD4) were evaluated as endpoints. Healthy infants enrolled at 42-90 d after birth were vaccinated with V114 (N = 57). The most commonly reported AEs were those solicited in the trial. The majority of reported AEs were transient and of mild or moderate intensity. Few serious AEs were reported; none were vaccine related. No participants died nor discontinued the study vaccine because of an AE. V114 was immunogenic for all 15 serotypes contained in the vaccine, as assessed by IgG response rates at 30 d PD3 and IgG GMCs at 30 d PD3 and at 30 d PD4. V114 was well tolerated and immunogenic when administered as a 3 + 1 regimen in healthy South Korean infants and toddlers.
Despite the use of pneumococcal vaccines, the burden of pneumococcal disease in children persists. V114, a 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, was immunogenic and well-tolerated in healthy South Korean infants and toddlers.

BACKGROUND: Individuals who receive allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) are immunocompromised and at high risk of pneumococcal infections, especially in the months following transplant. This study evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of V114 (VAXNEUVANCE; Merck, Sharp & Dohme LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA), a 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), when given to allo-HCT recipients. METHODS: Participants received 3 doses of V114 or PCV13 (Prevnar 13; Wyeth LLC) in 1-month intervals starting 3-6 months after allo-HCT. Twelve months after HCT, participants received either PNEUMOVAX 23 or a fourth dose of PCV (if they experienced chronic graft vs host disease). Safety was evaluated as the proportion of participants with adverse events (AEs). Immunogenicity was evaluated by measuring serotype-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) and opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) for all V114 serotypes in each vaccination group. RESULTS: A total of 274 participants were enrolled and vaccinated in the study. The proportions of participants with AEs and serious AEs were generally comparable between intervention groups, and the majority of AEs in both groups were of short duration and mild-to-moderate intensity. For both IgG GMCs and OPA GMTs, V114 was generally comparable to PCV13 for the 13 shared serotypes, and higher for serotypes 22F and 33F at day 90. CONCLUSIONS: V114 was well tolerated in allo-HCT recipients, with a generally comparable safety profile to PCV13. V114 induced comparable immune responses to PCV13 for the 13 shared serotypes, and was higher for V114 serotypes 22F and 33F. Study results support the use of V114 in allo-HCT recipients.

Immunocompetent adults with certain medical and behavioral factors are at increased risk of pneumococcal disease. In some countries, sequential vaccination with 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) followed by 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) is recommended for at-risk adults. This subgroup analysis from a phase 3 study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of sequential administration of either V114 (a 15-valent PCV containing serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F) or PCV13, followed 6 months later by PPSV23, in immunocompetent adults 18-49 years of age with pre-defined risk factors for pneumococcal disease. Safety and immunogenicity post-vaccination were analyzed by type and baseline number of risk factors for pneumococcal disease (1 and ≥2 risk factors). This analysis included 1,131 participants randomized 3:1 to receive either V114 or PCV13, followed by PPSV23. The majority (73.1%) of participants had at least one risk factor. Safety and tolerability profiles of V114 and PCV13 were similar across risk factor groups. V114 administered either alone or sequentially with PPSV23 6 months later was immunogenic for all 15 serotypes, including those not contained in PCV13, regardless of the number of baseline risk factors. V114 has the potential to broaden serotype coverage for at-risk adults.

BACKGROUND: Adults with certain medical and behavioral factors are at increased risk for pneumococcal disease (PD). Sequential vaccination with 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) followed by 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) is recommended for at-risk adults in some countries. METHODS: This phase 3 trial evaluated the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of sequential administration of either V114 (a 15-valent PCV containing serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F) or PCV13, followed 6 months later by PPSV23, in immunocompetent adults aged 18-49 years with or without predefined risk factors for PD (NCT03547167). Overall, 1515 participants were randomized 3:1 to receive either V114 or PCV13, followed by PPSV23. RESULTS: Most common solicited adverse events (AEs) following administration of V114 or PCV13 as well as PPSV23 were injection-site pain and fatigue. The proportion of participants with AEs was comparable in both groups. V114 and PCV13 were immunogenic based on opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) 30 days postvaccination for all serotypes contained in each respective vaccine. OPA GMTs to the 2 unique serotypes in V114 were robust in the V114 group. PPSV23 was immunogenic for all 15 serotypes contained in V114 in both vaccination groups, including 22F and 33F. CONCLUSIONS: V114 administered alone or sequentially with PPSV23 is well tolerated and immunogenic for all 15 serotypes, including those not contained in PCV13, in immunocompetent adults aged 18-49 years with or without certain medical or behavioral risk factors for PD.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Older adults are at risk of pneumococcal disease and associated morbidity and mortality. This phase 3 study (V114-020) assessed lot-to-lot consistency across safety and immunogenicity outcomes for V114, a 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), in healthy adults aged ≥ 50 years. METHODS: Adults were randomized in a 3:3:3:1 ratio to receive a single dose of one of three lots of V114 or 13-valent PCV (PCV13), stratified by age (50-64 years, 65-74 years, and ≥ 75 years). Serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies were evaluated at baseline (Day 1) and 30 days post-vaccination. Non-serious and serious adverse events (AEs) were evaluated post-vaccination through 14 days and Month 6, respectively. RESULTS: Of 2340 participants enrolled, 2282 (97.5%) completed the study. Proportions of participants experiencing ≥ 1 AE were 81.0%, 77.4%, and 78.0% for V114 lots 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Comparison of V114 combined lots with PCV13 showed that proportions of participants experiencing AEs, solicited AEs, and serious AEs were comparable for both vaccines, with the exception of injection-site pain (more frequently reported with V114). OPA geometric mean titers (GMTs) and IgG geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) at 30 days post-vaccination were comparable across V114 lots, and all lots met predefined equivalence criteria for all 15 vaccine serotypes (lower and upper limits of the 95% confidence intervals of serotype-specific OPA GMT ratios for all possible pairwise comparisons across the three lots were within the equivalence margin of 0.5-2.0). Serotype-specific OPA GMTs and IgG GMCs were comparable in the V114 combined lots and PCV13 groups for the 13 shared serotypes and higher in the V114 group for serotypes unique to V114 (22F and 33F). CONCLUSIONS: V114 is well tolerated with a consistent safety profile and immune response across manufacturing lots.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate safety and immunogenicity of V114 [15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) containing serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F], followed by 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) 8âweeks later, in adults living with HIV. DESIGN: In this phase 3 study (V114-018; NCT03480802), pneumococcal vaccine-naive adults with HIV (CD4+ cell count ≥50âcells/µl, plasma HIV RNA <50â000âcopies/ml, receiving antiretroviral therapy) were randomized 1â:â1 to receive one dose of V114 or licensed 13-valent PCV (PCV13) on day 1; participants received PPSV23 at week 8. METHODS: Adverse events and serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies were evaluated after each vaccination. RESULTS: Of 302 participants enrolled, 292 (96.7%) completed the study. Proportions of participants experiencing at least one adverse event were 73.0 and 62.7% in the V114 and PCV13 groups following PCV and 60.7 and 71.6% following PPSV23. Most solicited adverse events were of mild or moderate severity and short duration. OPA geometric mean titers (GMTs) and IgG geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) were generally comparable between groups for shared serotypes at day 30 and maintained at week 12. OPA and IgG responses for additional serotypes in V114 (22F, 33F) were higher following V114 than PCV13 at day 30 but comparable at week 12, 30âdays post-PPSV23. CONCLUSION: In pneumococcal vaccine-naive adults living with HIV, V114 was well tolerated and induced immune responses for all 15 pneumococcal serotypes. V114 can be followed by PPSV23 8âweeks later to broaden serotype coverage.

Streptococcus pneumoniae and influenza viruses are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in older adults. Concomitant vaccination against these agents reduces hospitalization and mortality rates. This phase 3 trial evaluated safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of concomitant and non-concomitant administration of V114, a 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine containing serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 19A, 22F, 23F, 33F, and quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (QIV), in healthy adults aged ≥50 years. Participants (N = 1,200) were randomized 1:1 to receive either V114 administered concomitantly with QIV (concomitant group) or QIV plus placebo (non-concomitant group) on Day 1, followed by placebo (concomitant group) or V114 (non-concomitant group) 30 days later. Randomization was stratified by age and history of pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine receipt. Overall, 426 (71.0%) and 438 (73.5%) participants in the concomitant and non-concomitant groups experienced solicited injection-site adverse events (AEs); 278 (46.3%) and 300 (50.3%) reported solicited systemic AEs. Most solicited AEs were mild or moderate in severity and of short duration. Non-inferiority for pneumococcal- and influenza-specific antibody responses (lower bound 95% confidence interval of opsonophagocytic activity [OPA] and hemagglutination inhibition geometric mean titers [GMTs] ratios ≥0.5) was demonstrated for concomitant versus non-concomitant administration for all 15 pneumococcal serotypes and all four influenza strains. Consistent with previous studies, a trend was observed toward lower pneumococcal OPA GMTs in the concomitant versus the non-concomitant group. V114 administered concomitantly with QIV is generally well tolerated and immunologically non-inferior to non-concomitant administration, supporting coadministration of both vaccines.

BACKGROUND: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) have greatly reduced the incidence of pneumococcal disease, yet unmet medical need remains due to increased disease caused by non-vaccine serotypes (STs). V114 (VAXNEUVANCETM, Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, NJ, USA) is a 15-valent PCV containing 13 serotypes in licensed PCV13 and 2 additional serotypes (22F, 33F) which significantly contribute to pneumococcal disease burden. This phase 3 trial compared safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V114 to PCV13 in adults ≥50 years of age. METHODS: Adults were randomized 1:1 to receive a single dose of V114 or PCV13; randomization was stratified by age (50-64 years, 65-74 years, and ≥75 years). Adverse events (AEs) were collected following vaccination. Serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies were measured prior to and 30 days after vaccination (Day 30). Primary objectives included assessing noninferiority of V114 to PCV13 for the 13 shared serotypes and superiority of V114 to PCV13 for the two unique serotypes. Superiority of V114 to PCV13 for shared serotype 3 was assessed as a secondary objective. RESULTS: Overall, 1,202 participants were vaccinated (V114 N = 602, PCV13 N = 600). The most commonly reported AEs across both groups were injection-site pain, fatigue, and myalgia. V114 met noninferiority criteria compared to PCV13 for the 13 shared serotypes (using a 2-fold non-inferiority margin for the ratio of OPA geometric mean titers [GMTs] [V114/PCV13] at Day 30) and met superiority for the 2 unique serotypes (using a 2-fold super-superiority margin for the ratio of OPA GMTs [V114/PCV13] at Day 30 and a 0.10 super-superiority margin for the difference in proportions of participants with ≥4-fold rise from prevaccination to Day 30). V114 met superiority criteria compared to PCV13 for serotype 3 (based on a super-superiority margin of 1.2 for the ratio of the OPA GMTs [V114/PCV13] and a superiority margin of 0 for the difference in proportions of participants with ≥4-fold rise). [NCT03950622, EudraCT#2018-004316-22, Japic-CTI#194845].

BACKGROUND: Streptococcus pneumoniae causes pneumococcal disease, and older adults are at an increased risk. Sequential vaccination of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) followed by 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) is recommended for broad protection against pneumococcal disease in some countries. METHODS: This phase III trial evaluated the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of sequential administration of either V114 (a 15-valent PCV containing serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F) or PCV13, followed 12â¯months later by PPSV23, in healthy adults agedâ¯≥50â¯years (NCT03480763). A total of 652 participants were randomized 1:1 to receive either V114 or PCV13, followed by PPSV23. RESULTS: The most common solicited adverse events (AEs) following PCV vaccination included injection-site pain and fatigue. Higher proportions of participants with these events were observed in the V114 group following PCV; however, these differences were not clinically significant. Following PPSV23 vaccination, the most common solicited AEs were injection-site pain and injection-site swelling; the proportions of participants with these events were comparable between both groups. Incidence of serious AEs was low in both groups following PCV and PPSV23, and none were related to study vaccines. No deaths occurred during the study. Serum opsonophagocytic activity geometric mean titers and immunoglobulin G geometric mean concentrations were comparable between both groups for all 15 serotypes in V114 following PPSV23. Immune responses elicited by V114 persisted for at least 12â¯months. Immune responses at 30â¯days and 12â¯months post-vaccination with PCV were comparable between both groups for the 13 shared serotypes and higher in the V114 group for the V114-unique serotypes (22F and 33F). CONCLUSION: Administration of V114 followed by PPSV23 was well tolerated and induced comparable antibody levels to PCV13 followed by PPSV23 in healthy adults agedâ¯≥50â¯years.

In most countries worldwide, pneumococcal conjugate vaccines have been included in the infant immunization program, resulting in a significant reduction in the burden of pneumococcal disease in children and adults. Shifting serotype distribution due to the indirect effect of infant vaccination with the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) may continue to increase the gap between 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) and PCV13 serotype coverage for older adults in the coming years. This clinical study (V110-029; NCT02225587) evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of sequential administration of PCV13 followed approximately 8 weeks later, or approximately 26 weeks later, by PPSV23 in healthy adults ≥50 years of age. Both dosing intervals were generally well tolerated as measured by the nature, frequency, and intensity of reported adverse events (AEs) in both vaccination groups. Serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) measured 30 days following receipt of PPSV23 in either group and at Week 30 were generally comparable between the 2 groups for 6 serotypes unique to PPSV23 and 12 serotypes shared between PCV13 and PPSV23, regardless of the interval between receipt of PCV13 and PPSV23. In addition, administration of PPSV23 given either 8 weeks or 26 weeks following PCV13 did not negatively impact immune responses induced by PCV13. Furthermore, administration of PPSV23 given either 8 weeks or 26 weeks after PCV13 elicited serotype-specific OPA GMTs to serotypes unique to PPSV23, which could provide earlier protection against pneumococcal disease caused by these serotypes in comparison with the current Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended interval of at least 12 months.

BACKGROUND: Pneumococcal disease remains a public health priority in adults. Safety and immunogenicity of 2 different formulations of 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV15) containing 13 serotypes included in 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) plus 2 additional serotypes (22F and 33F) were evaluated in adults ≥ 50 years (V114-006; NCT02547649). METHODS: A total of 690 subjects (230/arm) received a single dose of either PCV15 Formulation A, PCV15 Formulation B, or PCV13 and were followed for safety for 14 days postvaccination. Serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) and Immunoglobulin G (IgG) geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) were measured immediately prior and 30 days postvaccination. RESULTS: Both PCV15 formulations had generally comparable safety profiles to PCV13. Baseline IgG GMCs and OPA GMTs were comparable across vaccination groups. At 30 days postvaccination, both PCV15 formulations induced serotype specific antibodies to all 15 serotypes in the vaccine. IgG GMCs and OPA GMTs in recipients of either PCV15 formulation were non-inferior (≤ 2-fold margin) to those measured in recipients of PCV13 for shared serotypes and superior (> 1.0-fold difference) for serotypes unique to PCV15. Formulation B generally induced higher immune responses than Formulation A. CONCLUSION: In healthy adults ≥ 50 years of age, both new formulations of PCV15 displayed acceptable safety profiles and induced serotype-specific immune responses comparable to PCV13.

BACKGROUND: Pneumococcal disease remains a public health priority in adults. Previous studies have suggested that administration of pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine or pneumococcal conjugate vaccine within three years following receipt of PPV23 was associated with increased reactogenicity and reduced antibody titers in comparison to longer intervals. Safety and immunogenicity of 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV15) was evaluated in adults ≥ 65 years of age with prior history of PPV23 vaccination (V114-007; NCT02573181). METHODS: A total of 250 adults who received PPV23 at least 1 year prior to study entry received a single dose of either PCV15 or PCV13 (125/arm) and were followed for safety for 14 days postvaccination. Serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) and opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) were measured immediately prior and 30 days postvaccination. RESULTS: Safety profiles were comparable between PCV15 and PCV13 recipients. Following vaccination, serotype-specific antibody responses for the 13 shared serotypes were generally comparable between recipients of PCV15 and PCV13 for IgG GMCs, OPA GMTs, and geometric mean fold rises (GMFRs) and percentages of subjects with ≥ 4-fold-rise from baseline for both IgG and OPA. Recipients of PCV15 had numerically higher antibody responses than PCV13 for two serotypes unique to PCV15 (22F, 33F). CONCLUSION: PCV15 was generally well tolerated and induced high levels of IgG and OPA antibodies to all 15 serotypes included in the vaccine when given as a single dose to adults ≥ 65 years of age previously vaccinated with PPV23.

BACKGROUND: Immunogenicity and safety of inactivated zoster vaccine (ZVIN) were evaluated in adults with autoimmune disease. METHODS: Adults with autoimmune disease treated with immunosuppressive therapy (biologic or nonbiologic) were randomized to receive 4 doses of ZVIN, ZVIN containing a higher quantity of antigen, or placebo. To measure varicella-zoster virus (VZV)-specific immune responses using glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA) and interferon-gamma enzyme-linked immunospot (IFN-γ ELISPOT), blood samples were collected at baseline, post-doses 2, 3, and 4. The primary hypothesis was that ZVIN would elicit significant VZV-specific immune responses, measured by gpELISA or ELISPOT, at approximately 28 days post-dose 4. Safety and tolerability was assessed through 28 days post-dose 4. RESULTS: ZVIN elicited a statistically significant VZV-specific immune response approximately 28 days post-dose 4, measured by gpELISA (estimated geometric mean fold rise from baseline [GMFR] = 1.6 [95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4,1.7], P value < .0001) and IFN-γ ELISPOT (estimated GMFR = 2.0 [95% CI, 1.6,2.6], P value < .0001); both results met the prespecified success criterion. Overall, 57% (164/289) of all ZVIN and 21% (13/62) of placebo recipients reported ≥1 injection-site adverse events (AEs), and 52% (149/289) and 47% (29/62) reported ≥1 systemic AEs, respectively. Eight ZVIN and 1 placebo recipients experienced serious AEs, including 2 events (ZVIN group) determined by the investigator to be vaccine related (keratitis; amnesia). Overall frequency of AEs decreased with subsequent doses of vaccine. CONCLUSIONS: In adults with autoimmune disease, ZVIN was well tolerated and elicited statistically significant VZV-specific immune responses approximately 28 days post-dose 4, measured by gpELISA and IFN-γ ELISPOT.

BACKGROUND: Following primary vaccination of adults ⩾65years of age with 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23), immune responses increase and thereafter appear to decrease over time. With increased life expectancy worldwide, revaccination with PPSV23 may be required for continued protection of the elderly population against pneumococcal disease. The present study evaluated the immunogenicity and safety of revaccination with PPSV23 in the Japanese elderly. METHODS: Depending on prior history of PPSV23 vaccination, adults aged ⩾70years were given a first dose (primary group; N=81) or second dose (revaccination group; N=161, at least 5years after first dose) of PPSV23 intramuscularly. Subjects were matched for gender, age, and number and type of comorbidity across both groups. Blood samples were collected before and 4weeks postvaccination to measure serotype-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations and opsonophagocytic killing activity (OPA) antibody titers to serotypes included in the vaccine. Injection-site and systemic adverse events (AEs) were collected for 14days postvaccination. RESULTS: Baseline serotype-specific IgG geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) and OPA geometric mean titers (GMTs) were generally higher in subjects with a prior history of PPSV23 vaccination than in PPSV23-naïve subjects. The levels of IgG GMCs and OPA GMTs after revaccination were generally comparable to those observed after primary vaccination. Incidences of systemic AEs were comparable between the 2 groups. Although incidences of injection-site AEs were higher following revaccination than primary vaccination, the difference was not clinically significant as most AEs were mild to moderate in intensity and resolved within 5days after revaccination without treatment. CONCLUSION: Revaccination with PPSV23 was well tolerated and associated with increases in serotype-specific IgG concentrations and OPA titers in the elderly who received a prior PPSV23 dose at least 5years before. Revaccination with PPSV23 can be safely implemented in the elderly for continued prevention against pneumococcal disease. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY NUMBER: NCT02260882.

Pneumococcal infection is a major cause of pneumonia, bacteremia, and meningitis. Incidence of pneumococcal disease (PD) varies worldwide. The 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) displays an acceptable safety profile and has been demonstrated cost-effective in reducing burden of PD. METHODS: Approximately 100 subjects from the Russian Federation who were either 2 to 49 y of age with increased risk for PD or ≥50 years of age were enrolled into the study (NCT01734239) to receive a single dose of PPV23 administered intramuscularly. Each subject was followed for local and systemic adverse events (AEs) for 5 and 14 days, respectively. Serious AEs were collected for 28 d postvaccination. Blood samples were collected immediately prior to vaccination and 28 d postvaccination for the measurement of IgG to serotypes 1, 6B, 14, 19F, and 23F. RESULTS: High proportion of subjects had ≥2 -fold increase in IgG following receipt of PPV23. Rates were 92.0%, 83.0%, 89.0%, 81%, 84% for serotypes 1, 6B, 14, 19F, and 23F, respectively. Similar rates of responders and increases in the magnitude of immune responses were observed in both age groups (2-49, ≥50 ). PPV23 was generally safe and well tolerated. Injection site and systemic AEs were reported by 14.7% and 18.6% of study subjects, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: PPV23 is generally safe, well tolerated, and highly immunogenic when given as a single dose to Russian individuals 50 y of age and older, as well as Russian individuals 2 to 49 y of age who are at high risk for PD.

PNEUMOVAX™ 23, a 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine (PPV23), covers 65% to 91% of the isolates recovered from adult cases of invasive pneumococcal disease. Several studies have demonstrated that pneumococcal serotypes 31, 11A, 35F, 17F, 3, 16F, 19F, 15B, and 10A are associated with higher case-fatality or meningitis rates than other pneumococcal serotypes. This study (U05-PnPS-403; EudraCT: 2008-003648-12) evaluated the immune response followings administration of PPV23 for 4 of these serotypes (10A, 11A, 15B, and 17F), that are included in PPV23 but not in licensed pneumococcal conjugate vaccines. Serotype-specific IgG geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) and geometric mean fold-rises (GMFRs) for these 4 serotypes were measured by a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 104 subjects >50 y of age who were enrolled in a study evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of a single-dose of PPV23. At 1 month post-vaccination, GMCs for serotypes10A, 11A, 15B and 17F were 6.5, 4.3, 14.7, and 5.1 µg/mL, respectively. GMFRs from baseline were 9.0, 4.5, 8.4, and 11.5, respectively. The percentages of subjects achieving >2-fold increases in IgG GMCs between pre-vaccination and 1 month post-vaccination were 90%, 85%, 88% and 89%, respectively. In conclusion, PPV23 induces a robust immune response in adults to pneumococcal serotypes 10A, 11A, 15B, and 17F, which have been associated with elevated case-fatality or meningitis rates.

BACKGROUND: Safety and immunogenicity of heat-treated zoster vaccine (ZVHT) were assessed in immunocompromised adults. METHODS: In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study, 4 doses ZVHT or placebo were administered approximately 30 days apart to adults with either solid tumor malignancy (STM); hematologic malignancy (HM); human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with CD4(+) ≤200; autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplant (HCT) or allogeneic-HCT recipients. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) T-cell responses by interferon-γ enzyme-linked immunospot (IFN-γ ELISPOT) and VZV antibody concentrations by glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA) were measured at baseline and approximately 28 days after each dose. RESULTS: No safety signals were found in any group. IFN-γ ELISPOT geometric mean fold rises (GMFR) after dose 4 in STM, HM, HIV, and autologous-HCT patients were 3.00 (P < .0001), 2.23 (P = .004), 1.76 (P = .026), and 9.01 (P = NA), respectively. Similarly, antibody GMFR were 2.35 (P < .0001), 1.28 (P = .003), 1.37 (P = .017), and 0.90 (P = NA), respectively. T-cell and antibody responses were poor after 4 doses of ZVHT in allogeneic-HCT patients. CONCLUSION: ZVHT was generally safe and immunogenic through 28 days post-dose 4 in adults with STM, HM, and HIV. Autologous-HCT but not allogeneic-HCT patients had a rise in T-cell response; antibody responses were not increased in either HCT population. Study identification.

The vaccine Zostavax has been shown to prevent herpes zoster (HZ) and postherpetic neuralgia and is recommended for individuals > or =60 years of age. This study compared the safety and the immunogenicity of a refrigerator-stable formulation (Zostavax refrigerated) with those of the current formulation (Zostavax frozen) in subjects > or =50 years of age. Subjects with a negative history for HZ were randomized 1:1 to receive one dose of either formulation. Enrollment was stratified 1:2 by age (50 to 59 years and > or =60 years). Safety was evaluated for 28 days postvaccination. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) antibody responses were measured by a glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA). The primary endpoints were the VZV antibody geometric mean titer (GMT; day 28), the VZV antibody geometric mean rise (GMR; days 1 to 28), and the incidence of vaccine-related serious adverse experiences (AEs) over 28 days. The refrigerated (n = 182) and frozen (n = 185) formulations induced similar GMTs (727.4 and 834.4 gpELISA units/ml, respectively); the estimated GMT ratio (refrigerated formulation/frozen formulation) was 0.87 (95% confidence interval, 0.71 to 1.07). The GMRs were 2.6- and 2.9-fold, respectively. No vaccine-related serious AEs were reported in either group, and the safety profiles of the formulations were generally similar. The frequencies of injection-site AEs during follow-up were 35.6% and 46.4% in the refrigerated and the frozen formulation groups, respectively, and were generally mild. The frequencies of systemic AEs were similar in the two groups, and those of vaccine-related AEs were approximately 6% in both groups. The refrigerator-stable formulation of Zostavax has an acceptable safety profile and is as immunogenic as the frozen formulation; thus, the vaccine may be used in clinical settings where freezer availability is limited.
