Three-year Efficacy and Safety of Takeda's Dengue Vaccine Candidate (TAK-003).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Takeda's live attenuated tetravalent dengue vaccine candidate (TAK-003) is under evaluation in a long-term clinical trial across 8 dengue-endemic countries. Previously, we have reported its efficacy and safety in both seronegative and seropositive participants and that its performance varies by serotype, with some decline in efficacy from first to second year postvaccination. This exploratory analysis provides an update with cumulative and third-year data.

Methods

Healthy 4-16 year olds (n = 20099) were randomized 2:1 to receive TAK-003 or placebo (0, 3 month schedule). The protocol included baseline serostatus testing of all participants and detection of all symptomatic dengue throughout the trial with a serotype specific reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.

Results

Cumulative efficacy after 3 years was 62.0% (95% confidence interval, 56.6-66.7) against virologically confirmed dengue (VCD) and 83.6% (76.8-88.4) against hospitalized VCD. Efficacy was 54.3% (41.9-64.1) against VCD and 77.1% (58.6-87.3) against hospitalized VCD in baseline seronegatives, and 65.0% (58.9-70.1) against VCD and 86.0% (78.4-91.0) against hospitalized VCD in baseline seropositives. Efficacy against VCD during the third year declined to 44.7% (32.5-54.7), whereas efficacy against hospitalized VCD was sustained at 70.8% (49.6-83.0). Rates of serious adverse events were 2.9% in TAK-003 group and 3.5% in placebo group during the ongoing long-term follow-up (ie, second half of the 3 years following vaccination), but none were related. No important safety risks were identified.

Conclusions

TAK-003 was efficacious against symptomatic dengue over 3 years. Efficacy declined over time but remained robust against hospitalized dengue. A booster dose evaluation is planned.

Project description:BackgroundYellow fever (YF) vaccination is often mandatory for travelers to YF-endemic areas. The areas with risk of YF partially overlap with those of dengue, for which there is currently no recommended vaccine available for dengue-naïve individuals. This phase 3 study assessed the immunogenicity and safety of concomitant and sequential administration of YF (YF-17D) and tetravalent dengue (TAK-003) vaccines in healthy adults aged 18-60 years living in areas of the US non-endemic for either virus.MethodsParticipants were randomized 1:1:1 to receive the following vaccinations at Months 0, 3, and 6, respectively: YF-17D+placebo, TAK-003, and TAK-003 (Group 1); TAK-003+placebo, TAK-003, and YF-17D (Group 2); or YF-17D+TAK-003, TAK-003, and placebo (Group 3). The primary objective was to demonstrate non-inferiority (upper bound of 95% confidence interval [UB95%CI] of difference <5%) of YF seroprotection rate one month following concomitant administration of YF-17D and TAK-003 (Group 3) compared with YF-17D plus placebo (Group 1). The secondary objectives included demonstration of non-inferiority of YF and dengue geometric mean titers (GMTs) (UB95%CI for GMT ratio <2.0), and safety.Results900 adults were randomized. YF seroprotection rates one month post-YF-17D (Month 1) were 99.5% and 99.1% in Group 1 and 3, respectively, and non-inferiority was demonstrated (UB95%CI = 2.69% i.e. <5%). Non-inferiority was also demonstrated for GMTs against YF one month post-YF-17D, and against DENV-2, -3, and -4 (UB95%CI <2), but not DENV-1 (UB95%CI: 2.22), one month post-second TAK-003 vaccination. Adverse event rates following TAK-003 were consistent with previous results, and no important safety risks were identified.ConclusionsIn this study, YF-17D vaccine and TAK-003 were immunogenic and well tolerated when sequentially or concomitantly administered. The non-inferiority of immune responses to YF-17D and TAK-003 was demonstrated for concomitant administration of the 2 vaccines compared to separate vaccination, except against DENV-1 but with GMTs similar to those observed in other TAK-003 trials.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identified: NCT03342898.

Project description:BackgroundOutbreaks of dengue can overburden hospital systems, drastically reducing capacity for other care. The 2017 dengue serotype 2 (DENV-2) outbreak in Sri Lanka coincided with vaccination in an ongoing phase 3 efficacy trial of a tetravalent dengue vaccine, TAK-003 (NCT02747927). Here, we present data on the efficacy of TAK-003 following two doses of the vaccine administered 3 months apart in participants aged 4-16 years in Sri Lanka. In addition, we have used the 2017 outbreak dynamics to model the potential impact of TAK-003 on virologically confirmed dengue (VCD) cases and hospitalizations during an outbreak situation.Methodology/principal findingsModeling was performed using an age-structured, host-vector, spatial and stochastic transmission model, assuming 65% vaccine coverage and 30 days until initiation of vaccination. Efficacy of TAK-003 against VCD and hospitalized VCD cases was based on data against DENV-2 from the first year of the phase 3 trial. Vaccine efficacy and safety findings in Sri Lanka were in line with those of the overall trial population. The efficacy estimates in Sri Lanka up to the first 12 months after the second dose of TAK-003 were 94.7% and 95.7% against VCD and hospitalized VCD cases, respectively. Modeling of the trial data over an extended geographic area showed a substantial reduction in cases and a flattening of outbreak curves from TAK-003 use. The baseline vaccination scenario (initiation at 30 days, 65% target coverage, vaccine effective at 14 days, 70% hospitalization rate, VE of 95% for VCD and 97% for hospitalized VCD, and 47% for asymptomatic) resulted in a 69.1% reduction in VCD cases and 72.7% reduction in VCD hospitalizations compared with no vaccination. An extreme high scenario (vaccination initiated at Day 15, 80% coverage rate, baseline VE) resulted in 80.3% and 82.3% reduction in VCD and VCD hospitalizations, respectively. Vaccine performance, speed of vaccination campaign initiation, and vaccine coverage were key drivers in reducing VCD cases and hospitalizations.Conclusions/significanceOverall, the study and modeling results indicate that TAK-003 has the potential of meaningful utility in dengue outbreaks in endemic areas.
