BackgroundThis randomized, placebo-controlled study assessed the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of live virus zoster vaccine (ZV) in individuals receiving chronic/maintenance systemic corticosteroid therapy (daily dose equivalent of 5–20 mg prednisone) for ≥2 weeks prior to vaccination and ≥6 weeks postvaccination.MethodsSubjects were followed for adverse experiences (AEs), exposure to varicella or herpes zoster (HZ), or development of varicella/varicella-like or HZ/HZ-like rashes for 42 days postvaccination (primary safety follow-up period) and for serious AEs (SAEs) through Day 182 postvaccination (secondary follow-up period). Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) antibody titers by glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA) were measured at baseline and at Week 6 postvaccination.ResultsThe proportions of subjects reporting systemic AEs and SAEs were similar in both groups. A higher percentage of subjects reported injection-site AEs in the ZV group (21.5%) than in the placebo group (12.1%). One SAE of ophthalmic HZ (onset Day 16 postvaccination) was reported in the ZV group and deemed vaccine-related by the study investigator; however, PCR testing confirmed the presence of wild-type (not vaccine strain) VZV.Geometric mean titer (GMT) at 6 weeks postvaccination was higher for ZV recipients than placebo recipients, with estimated geometric mean fold rises (GMFR) of 2.3 (CI: 2.0, 2.7) and 1.1 (CI: 1.0, 1.2) respectfully.ConclusionsIn adults ≥60 years old on chronic/maintenance corticosteroids, ZV was generally well tolerated and immunogenic. The VZV-specific gpELISA antibody GMT at 6 weeks postvaccination and the GMFR from baseline to 6 weeks postvaccination were higher in the ZV group than in the placebo group. 相似文献

BackgroundVaccination is the most effective means of influenza prevention. Efficacy of trivalent vaccines may be enhanced by including both B strain lineages. This phase 3, double-blind study assessed the immunogenicity and safety/tolerability of a quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4) versus the United States (US)-licensed 2014–2015 trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV3-Yamagata [IIV3-YAM]; Afluria) and IIV3 containing the alternate Victoria B strain (IIV3-VIC) in adults ≥18 years.MethodsParticipants (n = 3484) were randomized 2:1:1 and stratified by age to receive IIV4 (n = 1741), IIV3-YAM (n = 871), or IIV3-VIC (n = 872). The primary objective was to demonstrate noninferiority of the immunological response to IIV4 versus IIV3-YAM and IIV3-VIC. Noninferiority was assessed by hemagglutination inhibition geometric mean titer (GMT) ratio (IIV3/IIV4; upper bound of two-sided 95% confidence interval [CI] ≤ 1.5) and seroconversion rate (SCR) difference (IIV3 – IIV4; upper bound of two-sided 95% CI ≤ 10%) for vaccine strains. Solicited local and systemic adverse events (AEs) were assessed for 7 days postvaccination, AEs recorded for 28 days postvaccination, and serious AEs for 6 months postvaccination.ResultsIIV4 elicited a noninferior immune response for matched strains, and superior response for unmatched B strains not contained in IIV3 comparators. Adjusted GMT ratios (95% CI) for A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/YAM, and B/VIC strains were 0.93 (0.88, 0.99), 0.93 (0.88, 0.98), 0.87 (IIV3-YAM; 0.82, 0.93), and 0.95 (IIV3-VIC; 0.88, 1.03), respectively. Corresponding values for SCR differences (95% CI) were −1.1 (−4.5, 2.3), −1.7 (−5.0, 1.7), −3.2 (IIV3-YAM; −7.4, 0.9), and −1.6 (IIV3-VIC; −5.8, 2.5). AEs were generally mild and experienced by 52.9% of participants. Serious AEs were reported with a slightly higher frequency with IIV4 (2.3%) versus IIV3-YAM (1.6%) and IIV3-VIC (1.5%).ConclusionsIIV4 demonstrated immunological noninferiority to the US-licensed IIV3, and superiority for unmatched B strains not contained in IIV3 comparators. Safety/tolerability profiles were similar across vaccine groups.Funding: Seqirus; Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02214225. 相似文献

BackgroundSeqirus 2010 Southern Hemisphere split-virion trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV3) was associated with increased febrile reactions in children. Studies in vitro concluded that increasing concentrations of splitting agent decreased residual lipids and attenuated proinflammatory cytokine signals associated with fever. We assessed immunogenicity and safety of a quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4; produced using higher concentration of splitting agent) versus a United States-licensed comparator IIV4 in healthy children aged 5–17 years.MethodsParticipants (N = 2278) were randomized 3:1 and stratified by age (5–8 years; 9–17 years) to receive IIV4 (n = 1709) or comparator IIV4 (n = 569). Primary objective was to demonstrate noninferiority of IIV4 versus comparator IIV4 as assessed by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) geometric mean titer (GMT) ratio (upper bound of two-sided 95% confidence interval [CI] ≤ 1.5) and difference in seroconversion rate (upper bound of two-sided 95% CI ≤ 10%) for all four vaccine strains. HI antibody titers were assessed at baseline and 28 days postvaccination. Solicited and unsolicited adverse events were assessed during each 7- and 28-day postvaccination period, respectively.ResultsIIV4 met immunogenicity criteria for noninferiority. Adjusted GMT ratios (comparator IIV4/IIV4) for A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria strains were 1.01 (95% CI; 0.93, 1.09), 1.05 (0.96, 1.15), 0.89 (0.81, 0.98), and 0.92 (0.83, 1.02), respectively. Corresponding values for differences (95% CI) in seroconversion rates (comparator IIV4 minus IIV4) were −3.1 (−8.0, 1.8), 0.4 (−4.5, 5.3), −3.4 (−8.3, 1.5), and −2.0 (−6.9, 2.9). Fever rates were numerically higher, but not statistically different, with IIV4 versus comparator IIV4. No new safety signals were reported.ConclusionIIV4 demonstrated immunological noninferiority to the comparator IIV4 with a clinically acceptable safety profile in children aged 5–17 years. Increased levels of virus splitting agent seem to have reduced fever rates observed in children with Seqirus IIV3, particularly those aged 5–8 years.Funding: Seqirus Pty Ltd; Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT02545543. 相似文献

IntroductionWe compared co-administration versus separate administration of an inactivated quadrivalent influenza vaccine (IIV4) with a 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) in adults at high risk of complications of influenza and pneumococcal infection.MethodsThis phase III, placebo-controlled, observer-blind trial (NCT02218697) was conducted in France and Belgium during the 2014–2015 influenza season. Adults ≥50 years of age meeting their country’s vaccination recommendations were randomized 1:1 to co-administration or separate administration. Immunogenicity was assessed by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) titers for IIV4 and 22F-inhibition ELISA for PPV23. Co-primary objectives were to demonstrate non-inferiority of co-administration versus separate administration in terms of geometric mean titer (GMT) ratio for each influenza strain in the IIV4 and geometric mean concentration (GMC) ratio for six pneumococcal serotypes (1, 3, 4, 7F, 14, 19A) in the PPV23 in the per-protocol cohort (N = 334).ResultsThe study met its co-primary objectives, with the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval of the GMT and GMC ratios (separate administration over co-administration) being ≤2.0 for all four antigens of the IIV4 and the six pre-selected serotypes of the PPV23, respectively. Immunogenicity of the IIV4 and PPV23 was similar regardless of administration schedule. In a post hoc analysis pooling participants ≥60 years of age from the co-administration and separate administration groups, IIV4 immunogenicity was similar in higher risk adults with comorbidities (diabetes; respiratory, heart, kidney, liver, or neurological diseases; morbid obesity) versus those without. Both vaccines had an acceptable safety and reactogenicity profile; pain was the most common symptom, occurring more often with co-administration than separate administration.ConclusionThe IIV4 and PPV23 can be co-administered without reducing antibody responses reflecting protection against influenza or pneumococcal disease. Co-administration of PPV23 at the annual influenza vaccination visit may improve uptake. Comorbidities had no impact on IIV4 immunogenicity, supporting its value in older adults with chronic medical conditions.Clinical Trial Registry Number: NCT02218697. 相似文献

BackgroundImmunocompromised patients can experience significant morbidity and occasional mortality from complications associated with herpes zoster (HZ), but live attenuated HZ vaccine is contraindicated for these patients. Inactivated zoster vaccine (ZVIN) is in development for prevention of HZ in immunocompromised patients. However, there are limited data in the literature regarding the effect of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies on vaccine-related cell-mediated immune response. This study evaluated safety and immunogenicity of ZVIN in patients with hematologic malignancies (HM) receiving anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies (alone or in combination chemotherapy regimens) and not likely to undergo hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) (n = 80).MethodsThis was an open-label, single-arm, multicenter Phase I study (NCT01460719) of a 4-dose ZVIN regimen (∼30 days between doses) in patients ⩾18 years old. Blood samples were collected prior to dose 1 and 28 days Postdose 4 to measure varicella zoster virus (VZV)-specific T-cell responses using interferon-γ enzyme-linked immunospot (IFN-γ ELISPOT). The primary hypothesis was that ZVIN would elicit significant VZV-specific immune responses at ∼28 days Postdose 4, with a geometric fold rise (GMFR) >1.0. All vaccinated patients were evaluated for adverse events (AE) through 28 days Postdose 4.ResultsZVIN elicited a statistically significant VZV-specific immune response measured by IFN-γ ELISPOT at 28 days Postdose 4 (GMFR = 4.34 [90% CI:3.01, 6.24], p-value < 0.001), meeting the pre-specified success criterion.Overall, 85% (68/80) of patients reported ⩾1 AE, 44% (35/80) reported ⩾1 injection-site AE, and 74% (59/80) reported ⩾1 systemic AE. The majority of systemic AEs were non-serious and considered unrelated to vaccination by the investigator. Frequencies of AEs did not increase with subsequent doses of vaccine. No recipient of ZVIN had rash polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive for VZV vaccine strain.ConclusionsIn adults with HM receiving anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, ZVIN was well-tolerated and elicited statistically significant VZV-specific T-cell responses ∼28 days Postdose 4.CLINICALTRIALS.GOV identifier: NCT01460719. 相似文献

BackgroundTrivalent inactivated and live attenuated influenza vaccines (IIV3 and LAIV3) have been reformulated with an extra B strain (IIV4 and LAIV4). They were licensed based on immunogenicity and their effectiveness (VE) still must be empirically tested.MethodsChildren 1–17 years tested for influenza during 2013–16 were included and their immunization status verified. They were considered vaccinated if received ≥1 dose of an influenza vaccine ≥10 days before evaluated for a respiratory episode. Age-groups were classified as 1–4 years or 5–17 years. VE was estimated by comparing vaccination status of influenza-positive versus influenza-negative cases.Results6779 children were enrolled in the three seasons. Overall, 27.2% received an influenza vaccine (87.1% IIV3 or IIV4 and 12.9% LAIV4), and 15.6% tested positive for influenza (77.9% A). IIV3 was predominantly used in 2013–14 and IIV4 in 2014–15 and 2015–16. IIV3 and IIV4 had comparable VE over the three seasons (60%, 57% and 53%) and performed similarly against influenza A and B and both age-groups. LAIV4 performed poorly for influenza A (15%, 37% and 48%) but better for influenza B (100%, 56% and 100%), especially among children 5–17 years of age with VE = 100% (95%CI: 55, 100).ConclusionsInfluenza vaccination showed modest but consistent effectiveness over the years. The switch from IIV3 to IIV4 did not affect VE. LAIV4 did not perform as well as IIVs, yet it improved over the years and was particularly good protecting older children against influenza B. These results emphasize the regional nature of influenza and the need for local surveillance. 相似文献

BackgroundIndividuals 50–64 years of age have reduced immune responses to influenza vaccines. The current study examined whether a high-dose inactivated trivalent influenza vaccine (IIV3-HD) might improve immune responses over a standard-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV3-SD) in this age group.MethodsThis was a multicenter, observer-blinded, randomized, active-controlled phase II trial. Adults 50–64 years of age were randomized 1:1 to receive IIV3-HD or IIV3-SD. Hemagglutination inhibition titers were measured before and 28 days after vaccination. Reactogenicity was recorded for 7 days after vaccination and adverse events for 28 days.Results148 participants received IIV3-HD and 152 received IIV3-SD. For all vaccine strains, day 28 geometric mean hemagglutination inhibition titers were significantly higher in the IIV3-HD group than in the IIV3-SD group (geometric mean titer ratio [95% confidence interval (CI)] = 1.43 [1.04–1.97] for A/H1N1, 1.65 [1.21–2.25] for A/H3N2, and 1.60 [1.23–2.08] for B). Seroconversion rates were significantly higher in the IIV3-HD group than in the IIV3-SD group for strains A/H3N2 and B but not A/H1N1 (difference [95% CI] = 13.5% [4.76–22.0] for A/H3N2, 23.1% [11.7–33.6] for B, and −0.2% [−9.66 to 9.18] for A/H1N1). The post-vaccination seroprotection rate was significantly higher in the IIV3-HD group than in the IIV3-SD group for strain B but not for strains A/H1N1 or A/H3N2 (difference = 9.1% [2.95–15.7] for B, 2.0% [−0.907 to 5.68] for A/H1N1, and 0.6% [−3.14 to 4.43] for A/H3N2). Reactogenicity was higher in the IIV3-HD group than in the IIV3-SD group, but reactions were mostly of low intensity, transient, and self-limited. Rates of unsolicited adverse events were similar between groups. No serious AEs, AEs leading to early withdrawal, or deaths were reported.ConclusionsThe study suggests that in adults 50–64 years of age, IIV3-HD may improve immunogenicity compared to IIV3-SD while maintaining an acceptable safety profile. 相似文献

BackgroundDuring the 2009 influenza pandemic both seasonal and 2009 pandemic vaccines were recommended. We conducted a randomized trial of monovalent 2009-H1N1 vaccine and seasonal trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV3) given sequentially or concurrently to adults.MethodsAdults randomized to 4 study groups and stratified by age (18–64 and ≥65 years) received 1 dose of seasonal IIV3 or placebo and 2 doses of 2009-H1N1 vaccine or placebo in one of 4 combinations, i.e., H1N1 + Placebo/H1N1 + Placebo/IIV3 (HP/HP/V3), H1N1 + IIV3/H1N1 + Placebo/Placebo (HV3/HP/P), H1N1 + Placebo/H1N1 + IIV3/Placebo (HP/HV3/P), and IIV3 + Placebo/H1N1 + Placebo/H1N1 (V3P/HP/H). Intramuscular injections were given three times at 21 day intervals. Sera for antibody assays were obtained prior to and 21 days after each vaccination. Reactogenicity and adverse events were monitored.ResultsEight hundred-five (805) adults were enrolled. All combinations of vaccines were safe and well tolerated. In general, one dose of 2009-H1N1 and one dose of IIV3, regardless of sequence or concurrency of administration, were immunogenic in adults. There were no significant differences in geometric mean titers (GMT) or the proportions of subjects with ≥4-fold rise in antibody responses and titers ≥40 for any vaccine group or between age strata for 2009-H1N1 after the first or second dose, although the vaccine sequence affected the titers to the IIV3 antigens. Hemagglutination inhibition antibody (HAI) GMTs against 2009-H1N1 for the combined age strata 21 days after the first 2009-H1N1 dose were 190.4, 182.1, 232.9 and 157.5 for HP/HP/V3, HV3/HP/P, HP/HV3/P and V3P/HP/H, respectively. While IIV3 GMTs were adequate they were generally lower than the 2009-H1N1 GMTs. In a subset of subjects, there was good correlation between HAI and microneutralization (MN) titers (Spearman's correlation coefficient 0.92).ConclusionsAll vaccine combinations were generally well tolerated. Immune responses to one dose of 2009-H1N1 were adequate regardless of the sequence of vaccination in all age groups, but the sequence affected titers to IIV3 antigens. 相似文献

BackgroundAfter implementation of routine infant MenC vaccination, MenB remains a serious cause of meningococcal disease, yet to be targeted by vaccination programs in several countries. This study (NCT01339923) investigated the immunogenicity and safety of MenC CRM-conjugated vaccine (MenC-CRM) concomitantly administered with MenB vaccine (4CMenB).MethodsInfants (N = 251) were randomised 1:1 to receive 4CMenB and MenC-CRM (Group 1) or MenC-CRM alone (Group 2) at 3 and 5 months (M3, M5) and a booster at 12 months of age (M12), and pneumococcal vaccine at M3, M5, M7, M12. Antibody responses to meningococcal vaccines were measured at M3, M6, M12, and M13. Non-inferiority of MenC-CRM response in Group 1 vs Group 2 was demonstrated at M6 and M13, if the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval (LL95%CI) of the difference in percentage of infants with hSBA titres ≥1:8 was >−10%. Sufficiency of MenB response was achieved if LL95%CI of the percentage of infants with hSBA titres ≥1:4 against fHbp, NadA and PorA strains was ≥70% at M6 or ≥75% at M13. Adverse events (AEs) were collected for 7 days post-vaccination, and serious AEs (SAEs) and medically attended AEs throughout the study.ResultsNon-inferiority of MenC response in Group 1 vs Group 2 (LL95%CI −6.4% [M6]; −5.2% [M13]) and sufficiency of MenB response in Group 1 (LL95%CI 92%, 90%, 89% [M6]; 97%, 92%, 93% [M13] against fHbp, NadA, PorA, respectively) were demonstrated. Higher rates of mild to moderate solicited AEs were reported in Group 1. Unsolicited AEs and SAEs incidences were similar across groups.ConclusionsConcomitant administration of MenC-CRM and 4CMenB in infants was immunogenic, resulting in non-inferior responses against MenC compared to MenC-CRM alone and demonstration of sufficient immune response to MenB, after primary and booster vaccination. Reactogenicity was higher for concomitant vaccines administration, but no safety concerns were identified. 相似文献

Background and objectivesPertussis is currently an emerging public health concern in some countries with high vaccination coverage. It is expected that maternal pertussis immunization could provide newborn protection. We compared pertussis toxin antibody (anti-PT) levels in women during pregnancy (pre- and post-vaccination) with respect to levels in the newborn at delivery in women vaccinated during pregnancy. We also estimated anti-PT titers at primary infant vaccination.MethodsObservational study of pregnant women vaccinated with Tdap (≥20 weeks gestation) and their newborns between May 2012 and August 2013. Anti-PT levels were determined by ELISA in maternal (pre- and post-vaccination) and newborn blood.ResultsPre-vaccination, post-vaccination maternal and newborn samples were available in 132 subjects. Mean maternal age was 34.2 (SD 4.3) years. Median weeks of gestation at vaccination were 27.2 (Q1–Q3 21.7–30.8). Anti-PT (≥10 IU/ml) levels were found in 37.1% of maternal pre-vaccination samples (geometric mean titer (GMT) 7.9 IU/ml (95% CI 6.8–9.2)), 90.2% of post-vaccination samples (GMT 31.1 IU/ml (95% CI 26.6–36.3)) and 94.7% of newborns (GMT 37.8 IU/ml (95% CI 32.3–44.1)). The Lin concordance index between post-vaccination maternal and newborn samples was 0.8 (95% CI 0.8–0.9). Transplacental transfer ratio was 146.6%. At two months of age, 66% of newborns had estimated anti-PT levels ≥10 IU/ml.ConclusionsThere was a high correlation between anti-PT levels in mothers and newborns, with higher levels in newborns, which should be sufficient to provide protection against pertussis during the first months of life. Vaccination of pregnant women seems to be an immunogenic strategy to protect newborns until primary infant immunization. 相似文献

BackgroundIXIARO® is a Vero cell-derived, inactivated Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccine licensed mainly in western countries for children and adults traveling to JE endemic areas. Limited immunogenicity and safety data in elderly travelers have been available.ObjectivesTo evaluate safety and immunogenicity of IXIARO in elderly subjects.MethodsOpen-label, single arm, multi-centered study. Two-hundred subjects with good general health, including adequately controlled chronic conditions, received two doses of IXIARO®, 28 days apart. Protective levels of antibodies were tested 42 days after the second dose. Systemic and local adverse events (AEs) were solicited for 7 days after each dose, unsolicited AEs were collected up to day 70 and in a phone call at month 7.Summary of resultsSubjects were aged 64–83 years (median 69.0 years). Nineteen percent of subjects had serious or medically attended AEs up to Day 70 (primary endpoint), none of them causally linked to IXIARO. Solicited local AEs were reported by 33.5% (most common: local tenderness) and solicited systemic AEs by 27% (most common: headache) of subjects. The seroprotection rate was 65% with a geometric mean titre (GMT) of 37. Subjects with tick borne encephalitis (TBE) vaccinations in the past 5 years (N = 29) had a SCR of 90% and GMT of 65.ConclusionsIXIARO is generally well tolerated in the elderly, and the safety profile is largely comparable with younger adults. SCR and GMT are lower compared to younger adults, but SCR is in the range reported in elderly for other vaccines e.g. against TBE, hepatitis-A virus (HAV)/hepatitis-B virus (HBV), influenza. The differences in SCR and GMT from younger to elderly adults were in the range of other vaccines.Duration of protection is uncertain in older persons, therefore a booster dose (third dose) should be considered before any further exposure to JE virus. 相似文献

IntroductionVaccination is a key intervention to reduce infectious disease mortality and morbidity amongst older individuals. Identifying social factors for vaccine uptake enables targeted interventions to reduce health inequalities.ObjectiveTo systematically appraise and quantify social factors associated with vaccine uptake amongst individuals aged ≥60 years from Europe.MethodsWe searched Medline and Embase from inception to 24/02/2016. The association of vaccine uptake was examined for social factors relevant at an individual level, to provide insight into individuals’ environment and enable development of targeted interventions by healthcare providers to deliver equitable healthcare. Factors included: living alone, marital status, education, income, vaccination costs, area-level deprivation, social class, urban versus rural residence, immigration status and religion. Between-study heterogeneity for each factor was identified using I2-statistics and Q-statistics, and investigated by stratification and meta-regression analysis. Meta-analysis was conducted, when appropriate, using fixed- or random-effects models.ResultsFrom 11,754 titles, 35 eligible studies were identified (uptake of: seasonal influenza vaccine (SIV) only (n = 27) or including pneumococcal vaccine (PV) (n = 5); herpes zoster vaccine (n = 1); pandemic influenza vaccine (n = 1); PV only (n = 1)). Higher SIV uptake was reported for individuals not living alone (summary odds ratios (OR) = 1.39 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.16–1.68). Lower SIV uptake was observed in immigrants and in more deprived areas: summary OR = 0.57 (95%CI: 0.47–0.68) and risk ratio = 0.93 (95%CI: 0.92–0.94) respectively. Higher SIV uptake was associated with higher income (OR = 1.26 (95%CI: 1.08–1.47)) and higher education (OR = 1.05 (95%CI: 1–1.11)) in adequately adjusted studies. Between-study heterogeneity did not appear to result from variation in categorisation of social factors, but for education was partly explained by varying vaccination costs (meta-regression analysis p = <0.0001); individuals with higher education had higher vaccine uptake in countries without free vaccination.ConclusionsQuantification of associations between social factors and lower vaccine uptake, and notably living alone (an overlooked factor in vaccination programmes), should enable health professionals target specific social groups to tackle vaccine-related inequalities. 相似文献

BackgroundInfluenza related morbidity and mortality disproportionately impacts older adults. The serologic response to vaccine is diminished in older adults; however, high dose inactivated influenza vaccine (HD IIV) has shown improved rates of seroconversion compared to standard dose (SD IIV). We hypothesize this may be due to the superior ability of high dose vaccine to activate T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and provide B cell dependent T cell help.MethodsWe measured peripheral Tfh (pTfh) activation in 50 community dwelling adults 65 years or older who were randomly assigned to receive either the HD IIV or SD IIV.ResultsThe HD vaccination elicited significantly higher levels of ICOS expression on pTfh cells, at day 7 compared to SD vaccination (p = 0.02). The magnitude of the increase in ICOS+ pTfh cells from baseline to day 7 was predictive of seroconversion for both influenza A and B vaccination.ConclusionStrong Tfh activation in response to influenza vaccination forecasts successful seroconversion in older adults, and HD IIV elicits greater Tfh activation than SD IIV. Future vaccine studies should focus on ways to further optimize the Tfh response. 相似文献

BackgroundDue to waning levels of maternal antibodies (measles; enterovirus 71, EV71; and coxsackievirus A16, CoxA16), some infants may lose protection against infection prior to vaccination. Using a longitudinal design, we examine how maternal antibody levels evolve over time in infants prior to vaccination.MethodsIn 2013–2014, we collected sera at ages 0, 3 and 6 months from infants. We assayed for levels of measles IgG antibody (717, 233 and 75 sample sera tested at months 0, 3 and 6, respectively), and neutralizing antibodies for EV71 and CoxA16 (225, 217, and 72). Demographic and health information were collected, and a linear mixed model (LMM) was used to describe antibody levels over time.ResultsPre-vaccination monotonic antibody decreases were observed for measles (1410, 195 and 22 mIU/ml, p < 0.001), EV71 (1:19.9, 6.3 and 4.5, p < 0.001) and CoxA16 (1:16.3, 5.9, and 4.5, p < 0.001). At 6 months of age, only 2.7% (95%CI, 0.6–8.3), 6.8% (95%CI, 2.7–14.4) and 5.6% (95%CI, 1.9–12.7) of infants were antibody positive for measles, EV71 and CoxA16, respectively. LMM findings indicated that infants with higher antibody titers at birth experienced a greater loss of antibody level. An infection rate of 1.3% (95%CI, 0.1–6.1) was reported for both EV71 and CoxA16.ConclusionsFurther modifications of vaccination strategies for measles, earlier vaccination for EV71 infection, and deployment of a CoxA16 vaccine need to be considered to limit infection among the very young. 相似文献

Background
Prior clinical studies of zoster vaccine enrolled subjects without a history of herpes zoster (HZ), so there are limited data on safety and immunogenicity in vaccinees with a prior history of HZ. This study was conducted to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of zoster vaccine recipients who had a prior episode of HZ.Methods
A total of 101 subjects ≥50 years of age with a prior history of HZ were enrolled. They were stratified by number of years since their HZ (5 to 9 years and ≥10 years, in an approximate 2:1 ratio), and randomized 1:1 to one of two vaccination groups. On day 1, Group I was administered zoster vaccine and Group II received placebo. At week 4, Group I received placebo and Group II received zoster vaccine. Subjects were followed for adverse experiences (AEs), exposure to varicella or HZ, and development of any varicella/varicella-like or HZ/HZ-like rashes, for 28 days after each injection. Blood samples were obtained prior to study injection on day 1 and week 4, and at week 8. Serum was assessed for varicella-zoster virus (VZV) antibody concentration by glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results
No serious AEs were reported within the 28-day safety follow-up period following any vaccination. Although a higher percentage of subjects reported injection-site AEs after receiving zoster vaccine than did placebo recipients, the proportion of subjects reporting systemic clinical AEs was similar in both groups. Zoster vaccine induced a VZV antibody response at 4 weeks post-vaccination. The estimated geometric mean titer (GMT) ratio (vaccine/placebo) was 2.07 (95% CI: 1.48, 2.88). The geometric mean fold-rise (GMFR) from prevaccination to week 4 post-vaccination was 2.1 in zoster vaccine recipients, versus 1.0 in placebo recipients.Conclusions
In HZ history-positive adults ≥50 years of age, zoster vaccine: (1) was well tolerated; and (2) significantly boosted the level of VZV antibody from baseline to 4 weeks post-vaccination as measured by GMT and GMFR. These data support the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ recommendation for routine zoster vaccination for all immunocompetent persons ≥60 years of age irrespective of HZ history. 相似文献17.

BackgroundThis postlicensure study was conducted to assess immunogenicity and safety of PCV7 catch-up regimens in previously unvaccinated older infants and young children in China.MethodsHealthy children 121 days to <72 months were grouped by age and immunized with 1 of 4 PCV7 dosing regimens. Serotype-specific IgG geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) and percentage of subjects with IgG ≥ 0.35 μg/mL were assessed before vaccination and 1 and 12 months postvaccination. The incidence of clinically important adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs), AEs leading to study withdrawal, and protocol-related AEs were assessed throughout the study.ResultsPrevaccination serotype-specific GMCs were generally low in subjects <24 months; the majority of children 24 to <72 months had IgG concentrations ≥0.35 μg/mL. One month postvaccination, GMCs were similar across groups for the 7 PCV serotypes, ranging from 3.95 to 13.02 μg/mL; the highest antibody levels were observed for serotype 14. Regardless of dosing regimen, >90% of subjects had IgG ≥ 0.35 μg/mL for each PCV serotype. At 12-month follow-up, IgG GMCs ranged from 0.65 to 5.19, and all remained above prevaccination IgG GMC; >70% of subjects had IgG ≥ 0.35 μg/mL. Older children generally had the most robust immune response both at 1 month postvaccination and during 12-month follow-up. PCV7 was well tolerated. Pyrexia, which was mild to moderate in severity, was the most common AE. Two subjects reported SAEs (n = 4), and there was 1 study withdrawal; none of these were considered treatment related.ConclusionIn China, PCV7 catch-up vaccinations given to older infants and young children naive to pneumococcal vaccines resulted in a robust immune response to all serotypes; this response persisted after 1 year. PCV7 was well tolerated in Chinese infants and children. 相似文献

BackgroundFollowing primary vaccination of adults ⩾65 years of age with 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23), immune responses increase and thereafter appear to decrease over time. With increased life expectancy worldwide, revaccination with PPSV23 may be required for continued protection of the elderly population against pneumococcal disease. The present study evaluated the immunogenicity and safety of revaccination with PPSV23 in the Japanese elderly.MethodsDepending on prior history of PPSV23 vaccination, adults aged ⩾70 years were given a first dose (primary group; N = 81) or second dose (revaccination group; N = 161, at least 5 years after first dose) of PPSV23 intramuscularly. Subjects were matched for gender, age, and number and type of comorbidity across both groups. Blood samples were collected before and 4 weeks postvaccination to measure serotype-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations and opsonophagocytic killing activity (OPA) antibody titers to serotypes included in the vaccine. Injection-site and systemic adverse events (AEs) were collected for 14 days postvaccination.ResultsBaseline serotype-specific IgG geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) and OPA geometric mean titers (GMTs) were generally higher in subjects with a prior history of PPSV23 vaccination than in PPSV23-naïve subjects. The levels of IgG GMCs and OPA GMTs after revaccination were generally comparable to those observed after primary vaccination. Incidences of systemic AEs were comparable between the 2 groups. Although incidences of injection-site AEs were higher following revaccination than primary vaccination, the difference was not clinically significant as most AEs were mild to moderate in intensity and resolved within 5 days after revaccination without treatment.ConclusionRevaccination with PPSV23 was well tolerated and associated with increases in serotype-specific IgG concentrations and OPA titers in the elderly who received a prior PPSV23 dose at least 5 years before. Revaccination with PPSV23 can be safely implemented in the elderly for continued prevention against pneumococcal disease.Clinical trial registry number: NCT02260882 相似文献

ObjectiveTo assess humoral and cellular responses to live-attenuated varicella zoster virus (VZV) vaccination of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) or juvenile scleroderma (JScle) compared to those of healthy controls (HC).MethodsBefore, 4–6 weeks and one year after VZV vaccination, blood samples of patients and HC were collected. VZV-specific antibody concentrations were measured by ELISA and multiplex immune-assay. IFN-γ ELISpot assays were performed to assess VZV-specific T-cell responses. Cytokine production upon VZV stimulation were measured with a Luminex-assay.Results49 patients (39 JIA, 5 JDM, 5 JScle) and 18 HC were included. All patients used methotrexate (MTX), 16 also used corticosteroids, 3 patients used biologics. No disease flares were reported after vaccination. Antibody response to the vaccine was similar in patients and controls (p = 0.139). Use of immunosuppressive drugs did not affect the response (p = 0.203). A second vaccination (n = 21) increased VZV-specific antibody concentrations (p = 0.02). VZV-specific T-cells increased after vaccination (p = 0.043), with a cytokine profile suggesting a VZV-specific Th1 and cytotoxic T-cell response.ConclusionThe humoral response to VZV vaccination in patients with pediatric rheumatic diseases (PRD) is similar to that of HC. Generally, patients are able to mount a VZV-specific cellular response.This study has been registered in the Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry under number U1111-1189-9837. 相似文献

BackgroundCytomegalovirus (CMV) is a leading cause of congenital infection and an important target for vaccine development.MethodsCMV seronegative girls between 12 and 17 years of age received CMV glycoprotein B (gB) vaccine with MF59 or saline placebo at 0, 1 and 6 months. Blood and urine were collected throughout the study for evidence of CMV infection based on PCR and/or seroconversion to non-vaccine CMV antigens.Results402 CMV seronegative subjects were vaccinated (195 vaccine, 207 placebo). The vaccine was generally well tolerated, although local and systemic adverse events were significantly more common in the vaccine group. The vaccine induced gB antibody in all vaccine recipients with a gB geometric mean titer of 13,400 EU; 95%CI 11,436, 15,700, after 3 doses. Overall, 48 CMV infections were detected (21 vaccine, 27 placebo). In the per protocol population (124 vaccine, 125 placebo) vaccine efficacy was 43%; 95%CI: −36; 76, p = 0.20. The most significant difference was after 2 doses, administered as per protocol; vaccine efficacy 45%, 95%CI: −9; 72, p = 0.08.ConclusionThe vaccine was safe and immunogenic. Although the efficacy did not reach conventional levels of significance, the results are consistent with a previous study in adult women (Pass et al. N Engl J Med 2009;360:1191) using the same formulation. 相似文献
