ABSTRACT:

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the primary inducers of immunity induced by infection or vaccination. To stimulate durable T cell-mediated immunity, multiple DC activities are required. DCs must present antigen, express costimulatory molecules, and secrete inflammatory cytokines to direct T cell activation. These activities must be coordinated with DC migration to the lymph node and production of memory T cell-inducing cytokines, such as IL-1β. Common vaccination approaches use adjuvants that stimulate a subset of these activities, leading to diminished T cell activities and poor immune durability. We describe herein a lipid-based adjuvant, called a hyperactivator, which elicits all five of the aforementioned DC activities. Other adjuvants examined, including those used clinically, were defective for one or more of the key activities needed for robust T cell activation. Vaccines in mice and nonhuman primates targeting influenza virus antigens, including the quadrivalent commercial product Afluria, displayed enhanced adaptive immune responses when administered using hyperactivators as adjuvants. These data highlight the impact of hyperactivator adjuvants as a means to enhance antigen-specific immunity, with potential applications towards a universal influenza vaccine.

IMPORTANCE:

The generation of vaccines that stimulate T cell activities is an unmet need for the scientific community, as T cells are the primary mediators of immune memory. In this study, we report a new vaccine adjuvant called a hyperactivator. This hyperactivator adjuvant diversifies the T cell and antibody responses to virus antigens, such that in nonhuman primates, all influenza strains in the clinical vaccine Afluria are targeted. Hyperactivator adjuvants may represent a means to achieve the long-sought-after goal of a universal influenza vaccine.

Abstract:

Background:

Seasonal influenza remains a global public health concern. A messenger RNA (mRNA)–based quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine, mRNA-1010, was investigated in a first-in-human, phase 1/2 clinical trial conducted in 3 parts.

Methods:

In parts 1 to 3 of this stratified observer-blind study, adults aged ≥18 years were randomly assigned to receive a single dose (6.25–200 µg) of mRNA-1010 or placebo (part 1) or an active comparator (Afluria; parts 2 and 3). Primary study objectives were assessment of safety, reactogenicity, and humoral immunogenicity of mRNA-1010, placebo (part 1), or active comparator (parts 2 and 3). Exploratory end points included assessment of cellular immunogenicity (part 1) and antigenic breadth against vaccine heterologous strains (A/H3N2; parts 1 and 2).

Results:

In all study parts, solicited adverse reactions were reported more frequently for mRNA-1010 than placebo or Afluria, and most were grade 1 or 2 in severity. No vaccine-related serious adverse events or deaths were reported. In parts 1 and 2, a single dose of mRNA-1010 (25–200 µg) elicited robust day 29 hemagglutination inhibition titers that persisted through 6 months. In part 3, lower doses of mRNA-1010 (6.25–25 µg) elicited day 29 hemagglutination inhibition titers that were higher or comparable to those of Afluria for influenza A strains. When compared with Afluria, mRNA-1010 (50 µg) elicited broader A/H3N2 antibody responses (part 2). mRNA-1010 induced greater T-cell responses than placebo at day 8 that were sustained or stronger at day 29 (part 1).

Conclusions:

Data support the continued development of mRNA-1010 as a seasonal influenza vaccine.

RFK Jr. rubber-stamps ACIP recommendation to remove thimerosal from all vaccines in US

Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has endorsed a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory committee recommendation banning the use of thimerosal in all vaccines in the U.S. RFK Jr. and other anti-vaccine activists have said that the preservative, which contains mercury, can cause autism, while studies have shown no link. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has signed off on a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advisory committee recommendation to remove the preservative thimerosal from all flu shots distributed in the U.S.Thimerosal, which contains mercury, has been used in vaccines for nearly a century to prevent fungal or bacterial contamination after one dose has been drawn from a multidose vial.In 1999, the HHS, the American Academy of Pediatrics and vaccine manufacturers agreed that thimerosal should be reduced or eliminated in vaccines as a precautionary measure. Two years later, the U.S. recommended that children age 6 and younger not receive vaccines that contain thimerosal.Anti-vaccine activists have claimed that the preservative can cause autism, though multiple studies, including one by the CDC in 2010, have shown that there is no link.Last month, RFK Jr.’s revamped Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended against the use of thimerosal in flu shots. In three separate rounds of voting, the ACIP advised that children, pregnant women and adults should not receive vaccines that contain thimerosal. Each of the votes were 5-1 in favor of removing thimerosal from vaccines, with one committee member abstaining.“After more than two decades of delay, this action fulfills a long-overdue promise to protect our most vulnerable populations from unnecessary mercury exposure,” RFK Jr. said in a release. “Injecting any amount of mercury into children when safe, mercury-free alternatives exist defies common sense and public health responsibility. Today, we put safety first.”Most companies have already removed the preservative from their vaccines. The exceptions are Sanofi, which produces multidose vials of Fluzone in addition to single-dose syringes, and CSL Seqirus, which includes thimerosal in its multidose vials of Afluria and Flucelvax. Each of these flu shots include a 0.01% concentration of thimerosal.“We acknowledge the recommendation of the new (ACIP),” a Sanofi spokesperson said in a brief statement. “We will have sufficient supply of Sanofi flu vaccine to support customer preference for this season.”Meanwhile, a spokesperson from CSL Seqirus said that “delivery of our thimerosal-free flu vaccines for the upcoming season is already underway and we don't expect the ACIP recommendation to have any impact on our vaccine supply or shipment timings." Both companies have said that they provide many more flu shots in single-dose syringes, which don’t contain thimerosal, than they do in multidose vials.Last month, during the ACIP meeting, Tracy Beth Hoeg, M.D., Ph.D., of the FDA, told the committee that fewer than 5% of the flu vaccines administered in the 2024-25 season contained thimerosal.While the decision does not have a major impact on the industry, it does raise concern about the influence of RFK Jr. and his hand-picked panel of ACIP experts, many of whom have expressed anti-vaccine views. Early last month, RFK Jr. dismissed all 17 previous members of the committee. In placing the lone dissenting vote in the ACIP meeting, Cody Meissner, M.D., of Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine, said the "risk from influenza is so much greater than the nonexistent—as far as we know—risk from thimerosal."“I would hate for a person not to receive the influenza vaccine because the only available preparation contains thimerosal. I find that very hard to justify,” Meissner added.Meanwhile, with his decision, RFK Jr. urged "global health authorities to follow this prudent example for the protection of children worldwide."

CSL Seqirus Begins Shipping Its Portfolio of Influenza Vaccines for the 2024/25 Flu Season

CSL Seqirus is the only manufacturer to offer a differentiated influenza vaccine for all eligible people aged six months and older in the United States. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) trend findings indicate a significant decline in influenza vaccination rates, which poses a serious risk to public health infrastructure and underscores the importance of receiving an annual influenza vaccination.1,2 According to the CDC, it is recommended that all eligible people aged six months and older receive their annual influenza vaccine, especially people at an increased risk of severe influenza-related complications, such as older adults, pregnant people, and children under five years old.2,3 SUMMIT, N.J., July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CSL Seqirus, a business of CSL (ASX: CSL), today announced that it has commenced shipping its differentiated portfolio of influenza vaccines. This year, the company's influenza vaccines are being produced as trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) formulations, in compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) directive to remove the B/Yamagata strain.4 "We are proud to support healthcare providers in their efforts to vaccinate their patients and communities to help turn around concerning declines in seasonal influenza vaccination rates," said Stefan Merlo, Vice President of Commercial Operations, North America, CSL Seqirus. "We are a committed partner in public health and are doing our part to educate, inform, and meet the evolving needs of the public, ensure customers are prepared for the upcoming flu season, and help reverse this downward trend to restore vaccination rates." This season, the 2024/25 influenza vaccine portfolio for CSL Seqirus, the only manufacturer to offer a differentiated influenza vaccine option approved for use in people aged six months and older, includes: FLUCELVAX® (Influenza Vaccine), the first and only cell-based influenza vaccine indicated for use in people six months and older.5 FLUAD® (Influenza Vaccine, Adjuvanted), the first and only adjuvanted seasonal influenza vaccine for adults 65 and older, which is preferentially recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) over standard-dose influenza vaccines.6,7 FLUAD contains an MF59® adjuvant that is designed to strengthen, broaden, and lengthen the immune response when added to an influenza vaccine.6,8,9 AFLURIA® (Influenza Vaccine), an egg-based, influenza vaccine approved for use in eligible people six months of age and older.10 The impact of declining vaccination rates poses a serious risk to public health infrastructure, with preliminary estimates from the CDC reporting an increase in influenza-related hospitalizations and deaths last season, in comparison to seasons prior, as well as an overburdened healthcare system.11,12 Across all age cohorts, vaccination rates experienced double-digit percentage declines over the past three flu seasons according to internal calculations based on influenza tracking data.13 This includes a notable 22% drop among children aged 6 months to 18 years and a 14% decrease in adults over 65, a group that typically maintains stable immunization rates.13 Additionally, the public health burden of influenza outpaces other respiratory illness.11,14,15 During the 2023/24 flu season, influenza accounted for nearly half of hospitalizations attributed to infectious diseases including influenza, COVID and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) combined and over half of total deaths.11,14,15 This data underscores the importance of the CDC's recommendation that all eligible people aged six months and older receive an annual influenza vaccination as an essential measure to help prevent influenza and its complications.2 This is especially important for those at an increased risk of severe influenza-related complications, such as older adults, pregnant people, and children under five years old.3 "Influenza continues to pose a significant threat, as evidenced by recent flu seasons," said Dr. Gregg Sylvester, Chief Health Officer, CSL Seqirus. "As we begin distributing influenza vaccines to healthcare providers throughout the U.S., it is imperative that we work to maintain high vaccination rates this season to help reduce the burden of influenza-related illnesses and the risk of severe outcomes." For additional information on our influenza vaccines for the upcoming flu season as well as resources about vaccination campaigns and CDC guidance, visit flu360.com. About Seasonal Influenza Influenza is a common, contagious seasonal respiratory disease that may cause severe illness and life-threatening complications in some people.16 Influenza can lead to clinical symptoms varying from mild to moderate respiratory illness to severe complications, hospitalization and in some cases, death.16 Because transmission of influenza viruses to others may occur one day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick, the disease can be easily transmitted to others.16 Preliminary estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that during the 2023/24 influenza season, there were an estimated 390,000-810,000 influenza-related hospitalizations in the U.S.11 The CDC recommends annual vaccination for people aged six months and older, who do not have any contraindications.2 Since it takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body that help protect against influenza virus infection, it is recommended that people get vaccinated before influenza begins spreading in their community.2 The CDC recommends that for most people who need only 1 dose of flu vaccine, vaccination should ideally happen in September or October.2 About CSL Seqirus CSL Seqirus is part of CSL (ASX: CSL).

CSL Seqirus Begins Shipping Portfolio of Innovative Influenza Vaccines for the 2023/24 U.S. Season

CSL Seqirus is the only influenza vaccine manufacturer that offers differentiated vaccine options for individuals six months of age and older. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant drop in influenza immunization rates and high levels of influenza-related illness, underscoring that flu is an ongoing threat.1,2 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends annual influenza vaccination for all eligible people aged six months and older, as a critical tool to help prevent flu and lessen the severity of influenza-related illness and potentially life-threatening associated complications.3 SUMMIT, N.J., July 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CSL Seqirus, a business of CSL (ASX:CSL), today announced it has begun to ship its portfolio of innovative cell-based, adjuvanted and egg-based influenza vaccines across the U.S. in preparation for the 2023/24 influenza season. The company is positioned to supply over 55 million doses of influenza vaccines to healthcare providers across the U.S. "Last season underscored the devastating impact flu can have, with over 300,000 flu-related hospitalizations and 19,000 flu-related deaths reported based on preliminary data through April 2023," said Dr. Gregg Sylvester, Chief Health Officer, CSL Seqirus.2 "This year in the Southern Hemisphere, we're already seeing high levels of influenza activity, especially in children, which has historically been a strong predictor of what's to come in the Northern Hemisphere.4,5 As we commence shipment to healthcare providers across the U.S., it's critical that we raise immunization rates this season to help protect as many people as possible from influenza and its potentially life-threatening complications." CSL Seqirus is the only manufacturer to offer differentiated influenza vaccine options approved for use in individuals six months of age and older. This year's 2023/24 U.S. influenza season portfolio includes: FLUCELVAX® QUADRIVALENT (Influenza Vaccine), the first and only cell-based quadrivalent influenza vaccine indicated for use in people six months and older.6 By avoiding egg adaptation, cell-based flu vaccines provide an exact antigenic match to the World Health Organization--selected influenza virus strains.7,8,9 There were two real world evidence (RWE) studies conducted by the Marshfield Clinic Research Institute during the 2022/23 Northern Hemisphere season, in which a large majority (84%) of vaccinated participants received FLUCELVAX QUADRIVALENT. Influenza vaccine effectiveness was found to be 54% effective at preventing medical care cases in children and adults six months to 64 years of age, and 71% effective at preventing symptomatic flu among children ages 1 to 17 years of age.10 Limitations of these studies include small sample sizes from a single geographic area and the potential for confounding and bias. FLUCELVAX QUADRIVALENT immunogenicity, efficacy and safety are supported by randomized clinical trials.6 FLUAD® QUADRIVALENT (Influenza Vaccine, Adjuvanted), the first and only adjuvanted quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine for adults 65 years and older, is preferentially recommended by the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) over standard-dose influenza vaccines.11,12 FLUAD QUADRIVALENT contains an MF59® adjuvant that, when added to a flu vaccine, is designed to strengthen, broaden, and lengthen the immune response.11,13,14 This is important for adults 65 years and older whose immune systems may have a decreased capacity to respond to flu illness or vaccines. AFLURIA® QUADRIVALENT (Influenza Vaccine), an egg-based, quadrivalent influenza vaccine approved for use in eligible people six months of age and older.15 The CDC recommends annual influenza vaccination for all eligible individuals, ages six months and older, as a critical tool to prevent and lessen the severity of disease.3 Annual influenza vaccination is especially important for people at a higher risk of developing serious influenza-related complications, including older adults, pregnant people and children younger than 5 years old.3,16 According to the CDC, most people who need only one dose of influenza vaccine for the season, should receive their vaccine in September or October.3 For children six months through 8 years of age, who require two vaccine doses, the CDC recommends they receive the first dose as soon as the vaccine is available, as early as July and August.3 For children of any age who need only one dose of flu vaccine or pregnant people in their third trimester, vaccination as early as July and August can also be considered. 3 "It's unfortunate that in a year when we saw an early onset and significant increase in influenza cases from the previous year, especially in children, vaccination rates in the U.S. and globally were so low," said Dave Ross, Vice President, North America Commercial Operations, CSL Seqirus. "Influenza vaccination is critical in reducing flu-related hospitalizations and overall burden of disease.17 At CSL Seqirus, we're committed to working with our public health partners to do what we can to help drive vaccination rates at least back up to pre-pandemic levels."

About Seasonal Influenza Influenza is a common, contagious seasonal respiratory disease that may cause severe illness and life-threatening complications in some people.17 Influenza can lead to clinical symptoms varying from mild to moderate respiratory illness to severe complications, hospitalization and in some cases, death.17 Because transmission of influenza viruses to others may occur one day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick, the disease can be easily transmitted to others.17 Preliminary estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that during the 2022/23 influenza season, there were an estimated 300,000-650,000 influenza-related hospitalizations in the U.S.2 The CDC recommends annual vaccination for individuals aged 6 months and older, who do not have any contraindications.3 Since it takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body that help protect against influenza virus infection, it is recommended that people get vaccinated before influenza begins spreading in their community.3 The CDC recommends that for most people who need only 1 dose of flu vaccine, vaccination should ideally happen in September or October.3 About CSL Seqirus CSL Seqirus is part of CSL (ASX:CSL).
