Conserved pneumococcal proteins are potential candidates for inclusion in vaccines against pneumococcal diseases. In the first part of a two-part study, an investigational vaccine (PHiD-CV/dPly/PhtD-30) containing 10 pneumococcal serotype-specific polysaccharide conjugates (10VT) combined with pneumolysin toxoid and pneumococcal histidine triad protein D (30μg each) was well tolerated by Gambian children. Part two, presented here, assessed the efficacy of two PHiD-CV/dPly/PhtD formulations against pneumococcal nasopharyngeal carriage (NPC) prevalence in infants.
In this phase 2, randomized, controlled, observer-blind trial, healthy infants aged 8-10weeks, recruited from a peri-urban health center, were randomized (1:1:1:1:1:1) into six groups. Four groups received PHiD-CV/dPly/PhtD (10 or 30μg of each protein), PHiD-CV, or 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine at ages 2-3-4months (3+0 infant schedule) and two groups PHiD-CV/dPly/PhtD-30 or PHiD-CV at 2-4-9months (2+1 infant schedule). The primary objective was impact on non-10VT NPC at ages 5-9-12months. Secondary objectives included confirmatory analysis of protein dose superiority and safety/reactogenicity. Impact on pneumococcal NPC acquisition, bacterial load, and ply and phtD gene sequencing were explored.
1200 infants were enrolled between June 2011 and May 2012. Prevalences of pneumococcal (60-67%) and non-10VT (55-61%) NPC were high at baseline. Across all post-vaccination time points, efficacy of PHiD-CV/dPly/PhtD-10 and PHiD-CV/dPly/PhtD-30 against non-10VT NPC (3+0 schedule) was 1.1% (95% CI -21.5, 19.5) and 2.1% (-20.3, 20.3), respectively; efficacy of PHiD-CV/dPly/PhtD-30 (2+1 schedule) was 0.5% (-22.1, 18.9) versus PHiD-CV. No differences were observed in pneumococcal NPC acquisition, clearance, or bacterial load. Both protein-based vaccines elicited immune responses to pneumococcal proteins.
In this high carriage prevalence setting, inclusion of pneumococcal proteins in the PHiD-CV/dPly/PhtD investigational vaccine had no impact on pneumococcal NPC in infants, regardless of protein dose or schedule. Future evaluations will assess its impact against pneumococcal disease endpoints.

保守的肺炎球菌蛋白是包含在抗肺炎球菌疾病疫苗中的潜在候选物。在一项分为两部分的研究的第一部分中,一种包含10种肺炎球菌血清型特异性多糖结合物(10VT)以及肺炎球菌溶血素类毒素和肺炎球菌组氨酸三联体蛋白D(各30μg)的研究性疫苗(PHiD-CV/dPly/PhtD-30)在冈比亚儿童中耐受性良好。本文呈现的第二部分评估了两种PHiD-CV/dPly/PhtD制剂对婴儿肺炎球菌鼻咽部携带(NPC)患病率的疗效。
在这项2期随机对照、观察者盲法试验中,从城郊卫生中心招募的8至10周龄健康婴儿被随机(1:1:1:1:1:1)分为六组。四组在2 - 3 - 4月龄(3+0婴儿免疫程序)时接受PHiD-CV/dPly/PhtD(每种蛋白10或30μg)、PHiD-CV或13价肺炎球菌结合疫苗,两组在2 - 4 - 9月龄(2+1婴儿免疫程序)时接受PHiD-CV/dPly/PhtD-30或PHiD-CV。主要目标是评估对5 - 9 - 12月龄时非10VT NPC的影响。次要目标包括对蛋白剂量优势以及安全性/反应原性的验证性分析。还探讨了对肺炎球菌NPC获得、细菌载量以及ply和phtD基因测序的影响。
2011年6月至2012年5月期间共纳入1200名婴儿。基线时肺炎球菌(60 - 67%)和非10VT(55 - 61%)NPC的患病率很高。在所有接种疫苗后的时间点,PHiD-CV/dPly/PhtD-10和PHiD-CV/dPly/PhtD-30(3+0免疫程序)对非10VT NPC的疗效分别为1.1%(95%CI -21.5, 19.5)和2.1%(-20.3, 20.3);PHiD-CV/dPly/PhtD-30(2+1免疫程序)对非10VT NPC的疗效为0.5%(-22.1, 18.9),与PHiD-CV相比无差异。在肺炎球菌NPC获得、清除或细菌载量方面未观察到差异。两种基于蛋白的疫苗均引发了对肺炎球菌蛋白的免疫反应。
在这种携带率很高的情况下,在PHiD-CV/dPly/PhtD研究性疫苗中加入肺炎球菌蛋白对婴儿肺炎球菌NPC没有影响,无论蛋白剂量或免疫程序如何。未来的评估将评估其对肺炎球菌疾病终点的影响。
