Review of clinical studies comparing meningococcal serogroup C immune responses induced by MenACWY-TT and monovalent serogroup C vaccines.

ABSTRACT: Many countries are replacing meningococcal serogroup C (MenC) conjugate vaccines (MCCV) with quadrivalent conjugate (MenACWY) vaccines, such as MenACWY-TT (Nimenrix®). This review examined eight studies comparing MenC immune responses induced by MenACWY-TT and MCCV to determine if these data support these changes. MenC serum bactericidal antibody levels using human (hSBA) or rabbit complement (rSBA) were evaluated at ~1 month postvaccination. Overall, ≥98.4% of infants administered 2 + 1 MenACWY-TT or MCCV schedules had rSBA titers ≥1:8 postprimary and postbooster vaccination; hSBA titers ≥1:8 were similar. In toddlers administered single MenACWY-TT or MCCV doses, ≥97.3% had rSBA titers ≥1:8 postvaccination; percentages with hSBA titers ≥1:8 were higher post-MenACWY-TT. Of children and adolescents receiving primary and booster MenACWY-TT and MCCV, ≥98.6% had rSBA titers ≥1:8; all children receiving MenACWY-TT or MCCV booster had hSBA titers ≥1:8 postdosing. MenC immune responses induced by MenACWY-TT are robust and generally comparable/superior to MCCV, supporting changes to recommendations.

Project description:BackgroundA serogroup A meningococcal polysaccharide-tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine (PsA-TT, MenAfriVac) was licensed in India in 2009, and pre-qualified by WHO in 2010, on the basis of its safety and immunogenicity. This vaccine is now being deployed across the African meningitis belt. We studied the effect of PsA-TT on meningococcal meningitis and carriage in Chad during a serogroup A meningococcal meningitis epidemic.MethodsWe obtained data for the incidence of meningitis before and after vaccination from national records between January, 2009, and June, 2012. In 2012, surveillance was enhanced in regions where vaccination with PsA-TT had been undertaken in 2011, and in one district where a reactive vaccination campaign in response to an outbreak of meningitis was undertaken. Meningococcal carriage was studied in an age-stratified sample of residents aged 1-29 years of a rural area roughly 13-15 and 2-4 months before and 4-6 months after vaccination. Meningococci obtained from cerebrospinal fluid or oropharyngeal swabs were characterised by conventional microbiological and molecular methods.FindingsRoughly 1·8 million individuals aged 1-29 years received one dose of PsA-TT during a vaccination campaign in three regions of Chad in and around the capital N'Djamena during 10 days in December, 2011. The incidence of meningitis during the 2012 meningitis season in these three regions was 2·48 per 100,000 (57 cases in the 2·3 million population), whereas in regions without mass vaccination, incidence was 43·8 per 100,000 (3809 cases per 8·7 million population), a 94% difference in crude incidence (p<0·0001), and an incidence rate ratio of 0·096 (95% CI 0·046-0·198). Despite enhanced surveillance, no case of serogroup A meningococcal meningitis was reported in the three vaccinated regions. 32 serogroup A carriers were identified in 4278 age-stratified individuals (0·75%) living in a rural area near the capital 2-4 months before vaccination, whereas only one serogroup A meningococcus was isolated in 5001 people living in the same community 4-6 months after vaccination (adjusted odds ratio 0·019, 95% CI 0·002-0·138; p<0·0001).InterpretationPSA-TT was highly effective at prevention of serogroup A invasive meningococcal disease and carriage in Chad. How long this protection will persist needs to be established.FundingThe Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Wellcome Trust, and Médecins Sans Frontères.

Project description:Abstract Background The quadrivalent meningococcal ACWY polysaccharide tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine (MenACWY-TT; Nimenrix) is licensed in various countries to prevent disease caused by meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y. In a previous study (NCT00464815), subjects aged 11‒17 years received a primary dose of MenACWY-TT or a quadrivalent polysaccharide vaccine (MenACWY-PS). Here, we report the long-term antibody persistence of the primary dose and the immunogenicity and safety of a booster dose given 10 years after primary vaccination of subjects. Methods Participants were enrolled from the Philippines and received a booster dose of MenACWY-TT at 10 years postvaccination. Antibody persistence 10 years postprimary vaccination and immunogenicity 1 month after the booster dose were evaluated by serum bactericidal activity assays using rabbit complement (rSBA) to assess the percentages of subjects with titers ≥1:8 and ≥1:128 and geometric mean titers (GMTs) for each serogroup. Safety was assessed for the booster dose. Results Of 229 subjects enrolled in this extension study, 169 and 58 subjects in the MenACWY-TT and MenACWY-PS groups, respectively, completed the booster phase. The percentages of primary MenACWY-TT recipients with prebooster rSBA titers ≥ 1:8 and ≥ 1:128 at year 10 ranged from 71.6%‒90.7% and 64.8%‒85.2% for all serogroups, respectively, compared with 43.1%‒82.4% and 25.5%‒76.5% of primary MenACWY-PS recipients; rSBA GMTs for all serogroups were higher in the MenACWY-TT group than in the MenACWY-PS group at year 10. For the MenACWY-TT and MenACWY-PS groups, respectively, the MenACWY-TT booster dose elicited rSBA titers ≥1:8 in 100% and ≥98.0% of subjects (figure); 100% and ≥96.1% of all subjects had titers ≥1:128. For all serogroups, rSBA GMTs at 1 month after the booster dose were higher than before the booster dose. No new safety signals were observed during the booster phase. Conclusion Functional antibody responses elicited by MenACWY-TT persisted 10 years after primary vaccination; the booster dose was well tolerated and elicited robust immune responses.

Project description:BackgroundMeningococcal infection starts with colonisation of the upper respiratory tract. Mucosal immunity is important for protection against acquisition and subsequent meningococcal carriage. In this study, we assessed salivary antibody levels against meningococcal serogroup A (MenA), W (MenW) and Y (MenY) after vaccination with a quadrivalent MenACWY conjugated vaccine. We also compared salivary meningococcal serogroup C (MenC) antibody levels after monovalent MenC and quadrivalent MenACWY conjugated vaccination.MethodsHealthy participants, who had received MenC conjugate vaccine between 14 months and 3 years of age, received a (booster) MenC or MenACWY vaccination at age 10-15 years. MenA-, MenC-, MenW- and MenY-polysaccharide (PS) specific IgG and IgA levels in saliva and serum and PS specific secretory component levels in saliva were measured using the fluorescent-bead-based multiplex immunoassay.ResultsMenACYW vaccination increased salivary PS-specific IgA (2-fold) and IgG levels(>10-fold) for MenA, MenY, and MenW. After one year, salivary IgA levels had returned to baseline levels. Both vaccines induced an increase in salivary MenC-PS specific IgA (>3-fold) and IgG (>100-fold), with higher levels after MenC as compared to MenACWY vaccination. The antibody decay rate of MenC in saliva between one month and one year was similar for both vaccines. The overall correlation between serum and saliva IgA levels was low (R = 0.39, R = 0.58, R = 0.31, and R = 0.36 for MenA, MenC, MenW and MenY, respectively). Serogroup-PS specific IgG levels between serum and saliva correlated better (R ranged from 0.51 to 0.88).ConclusionsBoth primary (MenA, MenY, and MenW) and booster (MenC) parenteral meningococcal conjugate vaccination induced high salivary antibody levels. The strong correlation for MenC, MenW and MenY between saliva and serum IgG levels indicates that saliva might be used as a reliable tool to measure vaccine responses after both primary and booster meningococcal vaccination.
