2753. Induction of Broadly Cross-Reactive Immune Responses Against A(H3N2) Airuses: Results of a Phase 2 Trial of a Novel Recombinant Hemagglutinin Saponin-Adjuvanted Nanoparticle Seasonal Influenza Vaccine
2019
Background
We developed a recombinant saponin-adjuvanted (Matrix-M1) quadrivalent hemagglutinin nanoparticle influenza vaccine (qNIV; NanoFlu) for older adults to address two impediments to efficacy of current, predominantly egg-derived, seasonal influenza vaccines: (1) limited protection against antigenic drift variants, particularly H3N2 viruses; and (2) antigenic mismatch between vaccine and circulating strains due to egg-adaptive mutations arising during manufacturing. In a prior Phase 1 trial, we showed that qNIV induced robust, broadly cross-reactive antibody responses against multiple antigenically drifted H3N2 viruses, which were 47–64% better than the egg-derived comparator trivalent high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV3-HD; Fluzone-High Dose). We undertook a Phase 2 trial to optimize the formulation of qNIV, and to compare qNIV immune responses to those of IIV3-HD and quadrivalent recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV4; FluBlok).
