Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes serious illness in children. The Ad26.RSV.preF vaccine candidate was immunogenic with acceptable safety in a phase 1/2a study of RSV-seropositive children. Here, we assessed its safety and immunogenicity in RSV-seronegative children.
In this randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled, phase 1/2a study (NCT03606512; https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03606512), RSV-seronegative toddlers aged 12-24 months received Ad26.RSV.preF (2.5 × 10 viral particles) or placebo on days 1, 29, and 57 (a meningococcal vaccine [Nimenrix] could substitute for day 57 placebo). Primary endpoints were solicited local and systemic adverse events (AEs; 7 days after each vaccination), unsolicited AEs (28 days postvaccination), and serious AEs (first vaccination until study end). Participants were monitored for RSV-respiratory tract infection to assess infection rates and for severe RSV-lower respiratory tract infection as an indication of enhanced disease. RSV-A2 neutralizing, RSV (A and B) preF binding, and RSV postF immunoglobulin G-binding antibodies were evaluated on days 1 (predose), 8, and 85, and after RSV season 1.
Thirty-eight participants were enrolled and vaccinated (Ad26.RSV.preF, n = 20; placebo, placebo/Nimenrix, n = 18). Solicited AEs were more common following Ad26.RSV.preF than placebo; most were mild/moderate. No vaccine-related serious AEs were reported. Five of 19 participants receiving Ad26.RSV.preF and 2/18 receiving placebo or placebo/Nimenrix had confirmed RSV-respiratory tract infection or RSV-associated otitis media; none were considered severe. At the final season 1 study visit, most Ad26.RSV.preF recipients had ≥2-fold increases from baseline in RSV-A2 neutralizing, RSV A and B preF binding, and RSV postF antibodies.
Ad26.RSV.preF was well tolerated and immunogenic in RSV-seronegative toddlers.
呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)可导致儿童患上严重疾病。在一项针对RSV血清阳性儿童的1/2a期研究中,候选疫苗Ad26.RSV.preF具有免疫原性且安全性可接受。在此,我们评估了其在RSV血清阴性儿童中的安全性和免疫原性。
在这项随机、观察者盲法、安慰剂对照的1/2a期研究(NCT03606512;https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03606512)中,12至24个月大的RSV血清阴性幼儿在第1天、第29天和第57天接受Ad26.RSV.preF(2.5×10病毒颗粒)或安慰剂(第57天的安慰剂可用脑膜炎球菌疫苗[Nimenrix]替代)。主要终点为接种疫苗后主动报告的局部和全身不良事件(AE;每次接种后7天)、非主动报告的AE(接种疫苗后28天)以及严重AE(从首次接种至研究结束)。对参与者进行RSV呼吸道感染监测以评估感染率,并监测严重RSV下呼吸道感染情况以作为疾病加重的指标。在第1天(接种前)、第8天、第85天以及RSV季节1结束后评估RSV - A2中和抗体、RSV(A和B)前体融合蛋白(preF)结合抗体以及RSV后体融合蛋白(postF)免疫球蛋白G结合抗体。
38名参与者入组并接种疫苗(Ad26.RSV.preF组,n = 20;安慰剂/安慰剂/Nimenrix组,n = 18)。接种Ad26.RSV.preF后主动报告的AE比安慰剂组更常见;大多数为轻度/中度。未报告与疫苗相关的严重AE。19名接受Ad26.RSV.preF的参与者中有5人以及18名接受安慰剂或安慰剂/Nimenrix的参与者中有2人确诊为RSV呼吸道感染或RSV相关中耳炎;均不被认为是严重病例。在第1季研究的最后一次访视时,大多数接受Ad26.RSV.preF的受试者的RSV - A2中和抗体、RSV A和B preF结合抗体以及RSV postF抗体较基线水平升高了≥2倍。
Ad26.RSV.preF在RSV血清阴性幼儿中耐受性良好且具有免疫原性。
