Safety and immunogenicity of an AS01-adjuvanted varicella zoster virus subunit candidate vaccine (HZ/su): a phase-I, open-label study in Japanese adults.

ABSTRACT: An adjuvanted recombinant subunit candidate vaccine (HZ/su) containing varicella zoster virus envelope glycoprotein E was developed for the prevention of herpes zoster and its complications. This study evaluated safety and reactogenicity of HZ/su in an ethnic Japanese population. This was a phase I, open-label and single-center study conducted between March and November of 2010 in Australia. Twenty healthy ethnic Japanese subjects, aged 18-30 y and 50-69 y (1:1) were enrolled. Subjects were administered two doses of HZ/su vaccine according to a 0, 2-mo schedule. Local and general solicited symptoms were recorded for 7 d post-vaccination. Unsolicited symptoms were recorded for 30 d post-vaccination. Serious adverse events (SAEs), new onset of autoimmune disease (NOAD), other potential immune mediated disorders and HZ cases were recorded throughout the study period. All 20 subjects were included in the according-to-protocol cohort for safety. A total of 18 subjects were included in the according-to-protocol cohort for immunogenicity: 10 in the 18-30 y age group and 8 in the 50-69 y age group. The most commonly reported local and general solicited symptoms were pain and fatigue in both groups. Back pain (in the 18-30 y age group) and chills (in the 50-69 y age group) were the most frequently reported unsolicited symptoms. There were no reports of death, SAEs, NOADs, other autoimmune mediated inflammatory disorder or suspected HZ cases. This study indicated that the two-dose regimen of HZ/su exhibited a clinically acceptable safety profile in healthy young and older ethnic Japanese adults.

Project description:Abstract Background In the ZOE-50 and ZOE-70 clinical trials, the candidate herpes-zoster subunit vaccine (HZ/su; 50µg varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein E [gE] and AS01B Adjuvant System) demonstrated high efficacy against HZ, with limited waning over 4 years and consistent efficacy across age cohorts. In adults ?60 years of age, the immune responses elicited by 2 HZ/su doses administered 2 months apart persisted for at least 6 years.1 Here we report immunogenicity and safety 9 years post-initial vaccination. Methods This Phase IIIB, open, long-term extension study (NCT02735915) followed 70 participants who received 2 HZ/su doses in the initial trial (NCT00434577). Blood samples to evaluate the persistence of cellular (intracellular cytokine staining) and humoral (ELISA) immune responses were taken at 9 years post-initial vaccination. Limited safety follow-up was performed (1 visit). Results All 70 participants (mean age at dose 1: 72.3 years; 61.4% female) were included in the according-to-protocol analysis. The fold increases over pre-vaccination in the frequency of gE-specific CD4+ T-cells expressing ?2 activation markers plateaued after 4 years post-dose 1 (year 4: 3.4, year 5: 3.0, year 6: 3.4, year 9: 3.4). Anti-gE antibody geometric mean concentrations were also stable from year 4 onwards (Table 1) and remained above the pre-vaccination value of 1213.1mIU/mL. Cellular and humoral responses at year 9 were similar across age strata (60–69, ?70 years). No vaccine-related serious adverse events nor suspected HZ episodes were reported. Conclusion In adults ?60 years of age, HZ/su-induced cellular and humoral immune responses remained above pre-vaccination levels for at least 9 years post-initial vaccination, confirming immune persistence predictions2 based on 6-year data.
