Volunteers were healthy, aged between 18 and 55, and had received BCG vaccination from an independent source prior to screening (no less than 6 months prior to date of enrolment). All vaccination visits were at the CCVTM. Visits occurred at the Centre for Clinical Vaccinology and Tropical Medicine (CCVTM), Oxford, and the NIHR Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Facility, Birmingham (NIHR WTCRF). Volunteers were recruited from the Oxford and Birmingham area, providing written informed consent prior to screening.
#Graphpad prism 8 trial trial
The aim of this first-in-human experimental medicine trial was to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of ChAdOx1 85A, alone and as a prime-boost regime with MVA85A in healthy, BCG-vaccinated UK adults.
Preclinical murine studies have demonstrated ChAdOx1 85A to be consistently protective when used as part of a BCG-ChAdOx1 85A-MVA85A immunisation regime. The vector, ChAdOx1, expressing two influenza antigens, NP and M1, has previously been evaluated in a small phase I dose escalation trial and was found to be safe and immunogenic. An advantage of simian adenoviral vectors over human adenoviral vectors is the low prevalence of pre-existing anti-vector antibodies in humans, a factor limiting the use of adenoviruses to date. ĬhAdOx1 85A is a novel chimpanzee adenoviral vectored vaccine expressing Ag85A. Recently, a protein adjuvanted subunit vaccine M72, conferred 54% protection against TB disease in M.tb latently infected subjects. This heterologous prime-boost regime was well-tolerated and induced increased frequency of antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses. A recombinant adenoviral vaccine candidate, AERAS-402, has been evaluated as a prime-boost regimen with MVA85A in a phase I clinical trial in healthy BCG-vaccinated UK adults. Heterologous ‘prime-boost’ vaccination strategies, using different viral vectored vaccines expressing proteins from malaria, have shown strong and sustained cellular immune responses correlating with malaria protection. More potent regimens are therefore needed. This was likely in part due to reduced immunogenicity seen in this setting. Recombinant viral vectors have shown early promise in animal and human studies, ,, ,, however the first efficacy trial with recombinant Modified Vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA85A) expressing the highly conserved, immunodominant, Mycobacterial antigen 85A (Ag85A) did not confer additional protection over BCG alone in South African infants. Subunit vaccines to boost the efficacy of BCG allow the retention of the protective benefits against systemic disease,.
However, the lack of consistent protection against adult pulmonary TB means a more universally effective vaccine is urgently needed. The only licenced TB vaccine, Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG), is highly effective at preventing TB meningitis and disseminated disease in children. The End TB strategy of global eradication of TB seeks to address this pressing issue, and one of the most valuable tools for its success is the development of a safe and effective TB vaccine. In 2017, an estimated 1.6 million people died from TB, with 10 million new cases throughout the world. Tuberculosis (TB) is now the leading single infectious disease killer in the world despite an annual 2% reduction in TB worldwide.
