Antibody persistence and immune memory response following primary vaccination and boosting with live attenuated SA 14-14-2 Japanese encephalitis vaccine (CD-JEV) in Bangladesh: A phase 4 open-label clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus is one of the leading causes of viral encephalitis across temperate and tropical zones of Asia. The live attenuated SA 14-14-2 JE vaccine (CD-JEV) is one of three vaccines prequalified by the World Health Organization (WHO) to prevent JE. WHO currently recommends a single CD-JEV dose for infants in endemic settings. However, in the absence of long-term immunogenicity data, WHO has indicated a need for long-term immunogenicity studies to inform optimal dosing schedules and determine the need for booster doses.

Methods

This Phase 4, open-label clinical study measured neutralizing antibody (NAb) titers in Bangladeshi children three and four years after primary CD-JEV vaccination and 7 and 28 days after a booster CD-JEV vaccination given four years after primary vaccination. The study also assessed the tolerability and safety of the booster dose. A NAb titer of ≥1:10 was considered seroprotective.

Results

Of 560 children vaccinated between 10 and 12 months of age with CD-JEV three years earlier and enrolled in this study from 30 July 2015 through 03 January 2016, 52 (9.3%; 95% CI: 7.2-12.0) had a seroprotective titer at enrollment. One year later, of 533 children, 66 (12.4%; 95% CI: 9.9-15.5) had a seroprotective titer before receiving a booster dose. Of 524 children who received a booster CD-JEV dose, 479 (91.4%; 95% CI: 88.7-93.5) and 514 (98.1%; 95% CI: 96.5-99.0) were seroprotected 7 and 28 days later, respectively. The geometric mean titer (GMT) was 6 (95% CI: 6-6) at baseline, 105 (95% CI: 93-119) 7 days post-booster, and 167 (95% CI: 152-183) 28 days post-booster. No vaccine-associated neurologic adverse events or other serious adverse events were noted following the booster dose.

Conclusions

Although most children did not have measurable antibody titers three and four years after a single primary CD-JEV dose, more than 90% of seronegative children had a strong anamnestic response within one week of a booster dose. This suggests that these children were immune despite the absence of measurable NAb prior to their booster.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02514746.

Project description:Japanese encephalitis (JE) caused by mosquito-borne Flavivirus is one of the leading causes of viral encephalitis in Asia. Control strategies include vector control and human vaccination. Due to lack of immunization programmes in endemic regions, there are still high mortality and morbidity. A live-attenuated SA 14-14-2 JE vaccine (LAJEV) has been licensed and used in Asian countries, including India. We report the assessment of immunogenicity and safety of the vaccine in adults during the first mass adult vaccination campaign carried out in Assam, India.One thousand and seventy five adults (aged ?15 yr) who received LAJEV were monitored for adverse events following immunization for one year. The safety assessment of vaccinated population was evaluated till 28 days and at 6 and 12 months. Blood samples collected from the enrolled participants were tested by plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT 50 ) to assess the neutralizing antibody titres (NATs) before vaccination and 28 days, six and 12 months post-vaccination (PV).Among the 1075 vaccinated individuals, four reported minor adverse effects from 30 min to 28 days PV. Based on the pre-vaccination NAT, the study participants were categorized as seronegative, moderately seropositive and strongly seropositive. Nearly 85.5 per cent of JE seronegative participants seroconverted by 28 days PV. The geometric mean titre (GMT) in all the three groups increased by 28 days and decreased by six and 12 months PV. Nearly 60 per cent of the moderately positive individuals exhibited four-fold rise in GMT, 28 days PV. Almost 95.5 per cent of the participants in the study population remained seroprotected at the end of 12 months PV.This study on immunogenicity and safety of LAJEV in adults showed that a single dose of the live-attenuated vaccine was safe and induced protective immunity to both JE seronegative and naturally seropositive adults. Further study is required to find out long term protective efficacy of this vaccine.

Project description:BackgroundThe performance of live attenuated Japanese Encephalitis SA 14-14-2 vaccine (CD-JEV) among children previously given inactivated mouse brain-derived JE vaccine (IMBV) is unknown. We evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of CD-JEV administered to 2- and 5-year-old children in Sri Lanka.MethodsIn this open-label, single arm trial in the Colombo District of Sri Lanka, generally healthy children 2 and 5years of age who had previously received two and three doses of IMBV, respectively, were administered one dose of CD-JEV subcutaneously. Participants were monitored for adverse events for one year post-vaccination. Serum neutralizing antibody responses were evaluated pre and 28 and 365days post-vaccination using JE plaque reduction neutralization test and characterized as the proportion of participants seroconverting. Seroconversion was defined as either reaching a titer considered seroprotective (⩾1:10) among participants with a baseline titer <1:10 or achieving at least a 4-fold rise in titer among participants with a baseline titer ⩾1:10.ResultsOf 305 children given CD-JEV, 294 were included in the primary analysis of immunogenicity. Prior to vaccination, 144/147 (98.0%) 2-year-olds and 146/147 (99.3%) 5-year-olds had seroprotective levels. 28days post-vaccination, 79/147 [53.7% (95% CI, 45.3-62.0)] 2-year olds and of 60/147 [40.8% (95% CI, 32.8-49.2)] 5-year olds achieved seroconversion. Among 2-year-olds, geometric mean titers (GMTs) rose from 697 to 3175 28days post-vaccination. Among 5-year-olds, GMTs rose from 926 to 2776. Most adverse reactions were mild, and no serious adverse events were related to study vaccination.ConclusionAdministration of CD-JEV to these children with pre-existing neutralizing JE antibody titers was safe and resulted in substantial boosting of antibody levels. These results may inform other countries in Asia considering switching from IMBV to now WHO-prequalified CD-JEV vaccine to combat this disease of public health importance.

Project description:BackgroundIn China, measles-rubella vaccine and live attenuated SA 14-14-2 Japanese encephalitis vaccine (LJEV) are recommended for simultaneous administration at 8 months of age, which is the youngest recommended age for these vaccines worldwide. We aimed to assess the effect of the co-administration of these vaccines at 8 months of age on the immunogenicity of measles-rubella vaccine.MethodsWe did a multicentre, open-label, non-inferiority, two-group randomised controlled trial in eight counties or districts in China. We recruited healthy infants aged 8 months who had received all scheduled vaccinations according to the national immunisation recommendations and who lived in the county of the study site. Enrolled infants were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either measles-rubella vaccine and LJEV simultaneously (measles-rubella plus LJEV group) or measles-rubella vaccine alone (measles-rubella group). The primary outcome was the proportion of infants with IgG antibody seroconversion for measles 6 weeks after vaccination, and a secondary outcome was the proportion of infants with IgG antibody seroconversion for rubella 6 weeks after vaccination. Analyses included all infants who completed the study. We used a 5% margin to establish non-inferiority. This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02643433).Findings1173 infants were assessed for eligibility between Aug 13, 2015, and June 10, 2016. Of 1093 (93%) enrolled infants, 545 were randomly assigned to the measles-rubella plus LJEV group and 548 to the measles-rubella group. Of the infants assigned to each group, 507 in the measles-rubella plus LJEV group and 506 in the measles-rubella group completed the study. Before vaccination, six (1%) of 507 infants in the measles-rubella plus LJEV group and one (<1%) of 506 in the measles-rubella group were seropositive for measles; eight (2%) infants in the measles-rubella plus LJEV group and two (<1%) in the measles-rubella group were seropositive for rubella. 6 weeks after vaccination, measles seroconversion in the measles-rubella plus LJEV group (496 [98%] of 507) was non-inferior to that in the measles-rubella group (499 [99%] of 506; difference -0·8% [90% CI -2·6 to 1·1]) and rubella seroconversion in the measles-rubella plus LJEV group (478 [94%] of 507) was non-inferior to that in the measles-rubella group (473 [94%] of 506 infants; difference 0·8% [90% CI -1·8 to 3·4]). There were no serious adverse events in either group and no evidence of a difference between the two groups in the prevalence of any local adverse event (redness, rashes, and pain) or systemic adverse event (fever, allergy, respiratory infections, diarrhoea, and vomiting). Fever was the most common adverse event (97 [19%] of 507 infants in the measles-rubella plus LJEV group; 108 [21%] of 506 infants in the measles-rubella group).InterpretationThe evidence of similar seroconversion and safety with co-administered LJEV and measles-rubella vaccines supports the co-administration of these vaccines to infants aged 8 months. These results will be important for measles and rubella elimination and the expansion of Japanese encephalitis vaccination in countries where it is endemic.FundingUS Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, US Department of Health and Human Services; China-US Collaborative Program on Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases.

Project description:IntroductionJapanese encephalitis (JE) virus is the most common cause of vaccine-preventable encephalitis in Asia. The SA14-14-2 JE vaccine manufactured by Chengdu Institute of Biological Products has been shown to be safe and effective in clinical trials and childhood routine immunization programs. However, there are few published reports describing results of surveillance for adverse events following immunization (AEFI) when the vaccine is used in mass campaigns. We describe the results of AEFI surveillance following a 2013 vaccination campaign among almost 310,000 children aged 9 months-12 years in Battambang Province, Cambodia.MethodsRoutine AEFI surveillance was strengthened by staff training and supplemented by active hospital surveillance. An AEFI was defined as any sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated (i.e., within 4 weeks) with receipt of the vaccine, irrespective of whether it was considered related to immunization. Data were collected on standardized forms and causality assessments were conducted for serious AEFI.ResultsPassive and active surveillance detected 28 AEFI for an overall incidence of 9.0 AEFI per 100,000 doses administered. The most frequent events were vasovagal episodes (n = 7, 25%) and rash (n = 6, 21%), and most other events were common childhood conditions such as fever and vomiting. Three AEFI were classified as serious, including one hypersensitivity reaction and two meningoencephalitis cases. Of these, the hypersensitivity event was the only serious AEFI classified as being consistent with a causal association to immunization.ConclusionsMost reported adverse events were conditions that commonly occur after other childhood vaccinations or independently of vaccination, and in the context of careful monitoring for serious AEFI only one serious event consistent with a causal association with immunization was identified. These results support the good safety profile of the SA14-14-2 JE vaccine, and provide reassuring data as the vaccine's use expands.
