Antibody-Based Correlates of Protection Against Cholera Analysis of a Challenge Study in a Cholera-Naive Population.

ABSTRACT: Immunologic correlates of protection can be used to infer vaccine efficacy for populations in which challenge trials or field studies are infeasible. In a recent cholera challenge trial (WH Cohen et al, Clinical Infectious Disease 62: 1329-1335, 2016), 134 North American cholera-naïve volunteers were randomized to receive either the live, attenuated single-dose cholera vaccine CVD 103-HgR or placebo, and titers of vibriocidal antibodies against classical Inaba were assessed 10 days after treatment. Subsequent to the immunologic evaluation, each subject ingested a fixed quantity of virulent V. cholerae O1 El Tor Inaba. Data from this trial suggest that vaccine-induced increase in vibriocidal antibody titer prior to challenge is tightly linked with protection: 51/51 vaccinees with post-vaccination vibriocidal titers >= 2560 were protected against moderate/severe cholera, and 60/62 vaccinees who seroconverted, or experienced a 4-fold or greater increase in vibriocidal titer relative to pre-vaccination levels, were similarly protected. Atypically high vibriocidal titers were observed in some placebo subjects; protection was limited in these individuals and differed substantially from the level of protection experienced by vaccinees with the same post-vaccination titers. Since only 1 of 66 placebo recipients experienced seroconversion, seroconversion was found to be uniquely associated with vaccination and insensitive to the effects of factors that can cause titers to be elevated but are weakly associated with protection. Thus, vibriocidal seroconversion was found to be better than vibriocidal titer for inferring vaccine efficacy in cholera-naïve populations for which studies based upon exposure to V. cholerae are impractical.

Project description:BackgroundKilled whole-cell oral cholera vaccines (kOCVs) are becoming a standard cholera control and prevention tool. However, vaccine efficacy and direct effectiveness estimates have varied, with differences in study design, location, follow-up duration, and vaccine composition posing challenges for public health decision making. We did a systematic review and meta-analysis to generate average estimates of kOCV efficacy and direct effectiveness from the available literature.MethodsFor this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Review Library on July 9, 2016, and ISI Web of Science on July 11, 2016, for randomised controlled trials and observational studies that reported estimates of direct protection against medically attended confirmed cholera conferred by kOCVs. We included studies published on any date in English, Spanish, French, or Chinese. We extracted from the published reports the primary efficacy and effectiveness estimates from each study and also estimates according to number of vaccine doses, duration, and age group. The main study outcome was average efficacy and direct effectiveness of two kOCV doses, which we estimated with random-effect models. This study is registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42016048232.FindingsSeven trials (with 695 patients with cholera) and six observational studies (217 patients with cholera) met the inclusion criteria, with an average two-dose efficacy of 58% (95% CI 42-69, I2=58%) and effectiveness of 76% (62-85, I2=0). Average two-dose efficacy in children younger than 5 years (30% [95% CI 15-42], I2=0%) was lower than in those 5 years or older (64% [58-70], I2=0%; p<0·0001). Two-dose efficacy estimates of kOCV were similar during the first 2 years after vaccination, with estimates of 56% (95% CI 42-66, I2=45%) in the first year and 59% (49-67, I2=0) in the second year. The efficacy reduced to 39% (13 to 57, I2=48%) in the third year, and 26% (-46 to 63, I2=74%) in the fourth year.InterpretationTwo kOCV doses provide protection against cholera for at least 3 years. One kOCV dose provides at least short-term protection, which has important implications for outbreak management. kOCVs are effective tools for cholera control.FundingThe Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
