Hantaan virus (HTNV) and Puumala virus (PUUV) are pathogenic zoonoses found in Asia and Europe, respectively. We conducted a randomized Phase 1 clinical trial of individual HTNV and PUUV DNA vaccines targeting the envelope glycoproteins (GnGc), as well as a combined HTNV/PUUV DNA vaccine delivered at varying doses using the PharmaJet Stratis® needle-free injection system (NCT02776761). Cohort 1 and 2 vaccines consisted of 2 mg/vaccination of HTNV or PUUV plasmid, respectively. Cohort 3 vaccine consisted of 2 mg/vaccination of 1:1 mixture of HTNV and PUUV vaccines. Vaccinations were administered on Days 0, 28, 56, and 168. The vaccines were safe and well tolerated. Neutralizing antibody responses were elicited in 7/7 (100%) subjects who received the HTNV DNA (Cohort 1) and 6/6 (100%) subjects who received the PUUV DNA (Cohort 2) vaccines alone. The combination vaccine resulted in 4/9 (44%) seroconversion against both viruses. After the first two vaccinations, the seroconversion rates for the HTNV and PUUV vaccines were >80%.
汉坦病毒(HTNV)和普马拉病毒(PUUV)分别是在亚洲和欧洲发现的致病性人畜共患病原体。我们针对包膜糖蛋白(GnGc)开展了一项关于单个HTNV和PUUV DNA疫苗以及使用PharmaJet Stratis®无针注射系统以不同剂量递送的联合HTNV/PUUV DNA疫苗的1期随机临床试验(NCT02776761)。第1组和第2组疫苗分别由每次接种2mg的HTNV或PUUV质粒组成。第3组疫苗由每次接种2mg的HTNV和PUUV疫苗1:1混合物组成。在第0、28、56和168天进行接种。这些疫苗安全且耐受性良好。单独接受HTNV DNA疫苗(第1组)的7/7(100%)受试者和接受PUUV DNA疫苗(第2组)的6/6(100%)受试者产生了中和抗体反应。联合疫苗导致4/9(44%)的受试者对两种病毒均发生血清转化。在前两次接种后,HTNV和PUUV疫苗的血清转化率均>80%。
