Safety and immunogenicity of experimental stand-alone trivalent, inactivated Sabin-strain polio vaccine formulations in healthy infants: A randomized, observer-blind, controlled phase 1/2 trial.
2020
Abstract Background To increase the global supply of affordable IPV vaccine, preferably using Sabin viruses to comply with GAPIII requirements, Takeda has assessed three dosages of a stand-alone sIPV. Methods In this phase I/II study two cohorts of 40 adults and 60 toddlers, respectively, were initially assessed for safety after receiving high-dosage sIPV compared with placebo (adults) or Salk IPV (toddlers). A cohort of 240 infants was then enrolled and randomized (1:1:1:1) to receive low-, medium- or high-dosage sIPV, or a reference Salk IPV in a three-dose primary schedule at 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age. Parents completed safety diaries for 4 weeks after each dose, and immunogenicity was measured as neutralization antibody titers at baseline and four weeks after vaccination. Results All vaccinations were generally well-tolerated and sIPV had a comparable safety profile to the control arm in adults or the reference Salk IPV vaccine in toddlers and infants. Infants displayed dosage-dependent immune responses to sIPV when assayed using Sabin strains, which were equivalent to the reference IPV in the high-dosage sIPV group for serotypes 1 and 2, but not for Sabin and Salk serotype 3. Seroconversion rates (SCR) of the low- and medium-dosage groups were significantly lower than the Salk IPV group for both Sabin and Salk serotypes 1 and type 2 (p Conclusions A novel stand-alone Sabin-based IPV vaccine was well tolerated with an acceptable safety profile, but less immunogenic than reference Salk IPV at 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age for Salk serotypes 1 and 2, with apparent interference by maternal antibodies. Additional preclinical assessments will be made before any further clinical development.
