Evaluation of Persistence of Immunogenicity Following an Open-labelled, Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating Non-inferiority of 1+1 Compared to 2+1 Dosing Schedules of 10-valent and 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in South Africa

This study will evaluate the persistence of immunogenicity following a reduced dosing schedule of 10- or 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV10, PCV13). This is the follow-up of a randomized controlled trial in which children received a single priming dose of PCV10 or PCV13 (at 6 or 14 weeks of age) followed by booster dose at 9 months of age (1+1 schedule), compared to a 2+1 PCV schedule (6, 14 weeks of age and 9 months of age).

The Effect of Fractional Doses of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines (PCV10 and PCV13) on Immunogenicity and Vaccine-serotype Carriage in Kenyan Infants

Before the introduction of pneumonia vaccines in 2000, between 700,000 - 1 million children died each year as a result of infection with the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae and the resulting diseases, namely, meningitis, sepsis and pneumonia. Most of the deaths were in Africa and Asia. Where the vaccines have been introduced, they have been highly effective and have already reduced disease. However, at 10 USD per child, they are not affordable to most low-income countries without financial support from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.
This project aims to assess whether lower doses of the two commercially available pneumonia vaccines can protect Kenyan infants as well as the full dose. The results could be used to increase the affordability of the pneumonia vaccine, and enable delivery of the vaccine to continue in the absence of Gavi support.

Article

Author: Cutland, Clare L. ; Madhi, Shabir A. ; Nana, Amit J ; Koen, Anthonet ; Jose, Lisa ; Olwagen, Courtney ; Mutsaerts, Eleanora Aml ; Izu, Alane

BACKGROUND:

Due to high costs of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV), transitioning from a two (2 + 1) to a single dose (1 + 1) primary series with a booster should be considered. This study evaluated the immune response at 18 months of age following a 1 + 1 compared to a 2 + 1 schedule of 10-valent (PCV10) and 13-valent (PCV13) vaccines.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:

A single-center, open-label, randomized trial conducted in Soweto, South Africa, evaluated the immunogenicity of differing dosing schedule for PCV10 and PCV13. Six hundred children were randomly assigned to six study arms (1:1:1:1:1:1). Non-inferiority was concluded when the lower limit of the 96% confidence interval of the ratio of geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) of the 1 + 1 and 2 + 1 schedules was >0.5 for at least 10 and eight of the PCV13 and PCV10 serotypes, respectively.

RESULTS:

GMCs in children who received the PCV13_6w + 1 and PCV13_14w + 1 schedule were non-inferior for 11 and 10 of the PCV13 serotypes, respectively, compared with the PCV13_2 + 1 arm. For PCV10, GMCs for both 1 + 1 schedules were non-inferior to a 2 + 1 schedule for nine of the PCV10 serotypes.

CONCLUSION:

Transitioning to a 1 + 1 schedule should be considered for early immunization programs.

Effectiveness of a Single Dose of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Against Invasive Pneumococcal Disease in Children: A Systematic Literature Review

Review

Author: Jodar, Luis ; Gessner, Bradford D ; Althouse, Benjamin M ; Hayford, Kyla ; Hong, Linge ; Dunne, Eileen M ; Theilacker, Christian

INTRODUCTION:

While pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) are typically administered to infants using a three- or four-dose regimen, children may receive less immunogenic regimens due to missed doses or alternative schedules. The level of direct protection in children vaccinated with a single dose of PCV remains unclear.

METHODS:

We performed a systematic review of observational studies published during 2000-2024 on vaccine effectiveness (VE) of a single dose of PCV7, PCV10, or PCV13 against vaccine-type invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in children. Results were stratified by vaccine and age at administration, and meta-analysis performed to generate pooled VE estimates.

RESULTS:

Twenty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria: nine reported VE for PCV7, four for PCV10, seven for PCV13, and seven reported VE separately for more than one PCV. For PCV7, pooled VE was 64.6% (95% CI 47.3, 76.2) when administered < 12 months or age unspecified and 81.6% (95% CI 72.5, 87.7) when given ≥ 12 months. For PCV10, pooled VE was 73.0% (95% CI - 29.4, 94.4) when age at vaccination was unspecified, and one study reported 68.0% (95% CI 17.6, 87.6) VE when administered ≥ 12 months. For PCV13, pooled VE was 56.8% (95% CI 44.1, 66.6) when administered < 12 months or age unspecified, and 79.2% (95% CI 65.5, 87.5) when given ≥ 12 months.

CONCLUSIONS:

Available evidence demonstrates that a single dose of PCV provides protection against vaccine-type IPD, especially when administered after age 12 months. While complete vaccination according to licensed schedules provides optimal protection, our findings support single-dose catch-up programs for toddlers. Potential single-dose strategies for infants in humanitarian emergencies warrant further exploration.

Article

Author: Dessie, Yadeta ; Scott, J Anthony G ; Deressa, Merga ; Gardiner, Elizabeth ; Marami, Dadi ; Solomon, Esrael ; Gallagher, Katherine E ; Kebede, Yohannes ; Karani, Angela ; Bizuayehu, Hiwot Yigzaw

INTRODUCTION:

Ethiopia introduced the 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10, GlaxoSmithKline plc.) in 2011 and switched to 13-valent vaccine (PCV13, Pfizer Inc.) in 2020. In 2023, we conducted a study in four settings in Ethiopia to determine the vaccine coverage, residual vaccine-type carriage prevalence, serotype distribution, and factors associated with carriage across all age groups.

METHODS:

A cross-sectional survey was conducted in urban and rural areas of eastern and southwest Ethiopia in 2023. In total, 50 participants in each of 10 age groups (<1, 1-2, 3-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, 20-39, 40-49, 50-59, and ≥ 60 years) were randomly selected using population registers in Harar, Kersa and Gilgel Gibe demographic surveillance systems, and using random GPS points for Jimma city. After informed consent, data on socioeconomic characteristics and vaccine coverage were collected. A single nasopharyngeal swab was collected and cultured for pneumococci. Pneumococci were serotyped using latex agglutination and confirmatory Quellung reaction.

RESULTS:

A total of 2006 participants were enrolled. The age-standardized population prevalence of pneumococcal carriage (all serotypes) in rural settings was 56 % (95 %CI 48-64 %) in the east and 26 % (95 %CI 20-31 %) in the southwest, and in urban settings, 15 % (95 %CI 11-20 %) in the east and 16 % (95 %CI 12-19 %) in the southwest. PCV13 serotype carriage prevalence among children aged <5 years ranged from 7.4 to 9.3 % in the urban areas, to 16-22 % in the rural areas. Coverage of the third dose of PCV, recorded in vaccination cards of participants aged <5 years, was 49 %-87 % in the urban areas; it was much lower at 13-22 % in the rural areas.

CONCLUSIONS:

There is considerable residual circulation of vaccine serotypes in Ethiopia, particularly in rural areas and the east, and low vaccine coverage. Pneumococcal epidemiology varies by geographical region and urban/rural setting, implying an unequal burden of pneumococcal disease across the country 12 years post-PCV introduction.

Curevo Raises $110 Million to Advance Amezosvatein Shingles Vaccine

-- Amezosvatein has shown excellent immunogenicity and improved tolerability in Phase 2 study -- Medicxi leads round, joined by new investors OrbiMed, HBM Healthcare Investments, and Sanofi Ventures -- Former Chair of GSK’s vaccine business and Chief Scientific Advisor to Operation Warp Speed, Moncef Slaoui, to join Curevo as Board Chair March 17, 2025 -- Curevo Vaccine (Curevo), a privately-held clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to developing varicella zoster virus (VZV) vaccines with improved tolerability, today announces the closing of a $110 million Series B round to advance development of amezosvatein, its vaccine for shingles. Leading the round is new investor Medicxi, a European biotech-focused investment firm with significant experience investing in vaccine companies such as Vaxcyte and ViceBio. Joining Medicxi is an international group of investment funds including OrbiMed, HBM Healthcare Investments, and Sanofi Ventures plus existing investors RA Capital Management, Janus Henderson Investors, Adjuvant Capital, and founding investor GC Biopharma. “This Series B round will fund the extension of our successful Phase 2 program into an additional 640 participants, including the key population of adults over age 70, to finalize dose selection ahead of the Phase 3 program,” said Curevo’s CEO, George Simeon, MBA/MPH. “Designed based upon feedback from regulators and other stakeholders, this short extension trial will begin mid-2025 and serve to set the company for clinical, strategic, and regulatory success.” Concurrent with the round, Moncef Slaoui, PhD, will join Curevo as Board Chair. Dr. Slaoui was most recently the Chief Scientific Advisor to Operation Warp Speed during the COVID-19 pandemic, helping deliver vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. He spent nearly 30 years at GlaxoSmithKline, during which he helped shape its vaccine business by contributing to the creation of numerous new vaccines including Shingrix® (shingles), Cervarix® (HPV-induced cervical cancer), Mosquirix® (malaria), Rotarix® (rotavirus gastroenteritis), and Synflorix® (pneumococcal disease). “I have been collaborating with the Curevo team for several weeks now,” stated Dr. Slaoui. “I’m very excited to work with them to help perfect shingles vaccination, adding good tolerability to the exceptional efficacy achieved by the current vaccine. The data so far show Curevo’s adjuvant technology has the attributes to succeed in this endeavor.” Also joining Curevo’s Board of Directors will be Giovanni Mariggi, PhD, co-founder and Partner at Medicxi, an experienced infectious disease investor and board member. “Patients, doctors, and payors are very clear a new shingles vaccine like amezosvatein would be welcome in the global marketplace. Amezosvatein’s activity and improved tolerability profile could allow it to be a significant product in the shingles vaccines market. We are excited to support Curevo’s plan with a streamlined path to approval,” stated Dr. Mariggi. Tal Zaks, MD/PhD, will be joining Curevo’s Board of Directors on behalf of OrbiMed. Dr. Zaks is the former Chief Medical Officer of Moderna, where he led development of their mRNA vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. He previously held senior leadership positions in drug development at GSK and Sanofi. “OrbiMed has a long history of investing in biotech companies like Curevo seeking to improve healthcare outcomes while creating long-term shareholder value,” said Dr. Zaks. “The fact amezosvatein contains an optimized version of the TLR4 agonist with a known mechanism of action reduces biological risk while providing the competitive advantage of potentially improved tolerability, which should position it as the first choice for people who want to be protected from shingles.” ‘Amezosvatein’ is the assigned non-proprietary name for CRV-101, a non-mRNA adjuvanted subunit vaccine under investigation by Curevo. Like Shingrix, amezosvatein uses a subunit protein antigen called glycoprotein ‘E’ (gE). Targeting the gE antigen is proven to elicit a long-term, protective immune response to prevent shingles. Amezosvatein’s adjuvant contains an optimized version of the TLR4 agonist proven by Shingrix to be biologically active in shingles vaccination. Amezosvatein was engineered to maintain exceptional efficacy and have a best-in-class tolerability profile. The SLA-SE adjuvant formulation was developed at Seattle-based Access to Advanced Health Institute (AAHI) and amezosvatein was licensed from the Mogam Institute for Biomedical Research, a research institute funded by South Korea’s GC Biopharma. Curevo is a privately held, clinical-stage biotechnology company based near Seattle dedicated to reducing the burden of infectious disease by developing vaccines with improved tolerability and accessibility. Curevo’s lead product is amezosvatein, a non-mRNA adjuvanted sub-unit vaccine to prevent shingles, a serious medical condition involving a painful, blistering skin rash where 10-18% of people also develop serious, long-lasting nerve pain. The current $4+ billion shingles vaccine market is characterized by accessibility issues and vaccine hesitancy/dose avoidance related to vaccine tolerability.

Merck & Co. looks to take on Pfizer’s Prevnar franchise with positive top-line data for V116

Merck & Co. has announced positive top-line results from two Phase III trials evaluating V116, its investigational 21-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in vaccine-naïve and previously vaccinated individuals. The company initiated pivotal-stage studies of the vaccine last summer. Results from the STRIDE-3 trial demonstrated statistically significant immune responses for V116 compared to PCV20 (pneumococcal 20-valent conjugate vaccine) in vaccine-naïve adults for serotypes common to both vaccines as assessed by serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) 30 days post-vaccination. Positive immune responses were also observed for serotypes unique to V116. Additionally, results from STRIDE-6 demonstrated that V116 was immunogenic for all 21 pneumococcal serotypes in the vaccine among adults who previously received a pneumococcal vaccine at least one year prior to the study. In both studies, V116 had a safety profile comparable to the comparator and results will be shared with the scientific community in the near future. If approved, V116 would be the first pneumococcal conjugate vaccine specifically designed for adults, said Merck. According to CDC data from 2019, the 21 serotypes covered by V116 are responsible for 85% of invasive pneumococcal disease in individuals 65 and older and Merck’s vaccine includes eight serotypes not currently covered by approved pneumococcal vaccines. These unique serotypes are thought to be responsible for approximately 30% of invasive pneumococcal disease in individuals 65 and older, based on pre-pandemic data.“Despite the availability of current pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, many adults remain vulnerable to pneumococcal disease, especially those who are older,” said Eliav Barr, senior vice president, head of global clinical development and chief medical officer at Merck Research Laboratories.The global market for pneumococcal vaccines is largely dominated by Pfizer’s Prevnar 13 and Prevnar 20 franchises, with smaller share commanded by Merck’s Pneumovax and Vaxneuvance brands which the company is hoping to build on with V116. The third notable player in this space GSK, responsible for marketing the vaccine Synflorix, acquired Affinivax just over a year ago at an upfront cost of $2.1 billion in a bid to also expand its long-term presence in the pneumococcal vaccine market.
