Importance of Adjuvant Selection while SE promotes Th2 cytokines • GLA-SE enhances Th1 responses Th2 Th1
Adjuvant Selection: A Matter of Life or Death ID93/GLA-SE confers protection against Mtb in guinea pigs. Guinea pigs were injected with saline or were immunized with BCG, ID93/SE, or ID93/GLA-SE. The data is represented as percentage survival of guinea pigs over time following infection with Mtb. Log-rank test was used for statistical comparisons of median guinea pig survival among the experimental groups. p values 0.05 were considered significant.
Do We Need A New TB Vaccine? • Boosting BCG • Therapeutic Vaccination CONFIDENTIAL
ID93/GLA-SE, ID83/GLA-SE:Protection in BCG primed Guinea Pigs
Do We Need A New TB Vaccine? • Boosting BCG • Therapeutic Vaccination CONFIDENTIAL
TB: Infection Prime-Vaccine Boost Mice were infected with LDA of Mtb. Fifteen days later mice were treated for 90 days with a combination of antibiotics. A subset of mice in each group were immunized three times, three weeks apart with the candidate fusion vaccine one day after chemotherapy was completed. Protection was assessed by monitoring animal survival.
ID93/GLA-SE: Summary, Status • Protection Mouse Models • Prophylactic • Therapeutic • Protection in Disease Models • Guinea Pigs • NHP • Clinical Trials • 1. U. S. Phase I (Ongoing) • 2ug vs. 5ug GLA-SE; 2 vs. 10 ug Ag • 2. S.A. Phase I (Planned) CONFIDENTIAL
Therapeutic Vaccination: Lessons Learned • Safe in Infected, Diseased Individuals • Applications for Post Exposure Prophylaxis and Therapy • Human Leishmaniasis: Strong Immune Responses, but Weak Responses to Vaccine Antigens Prior to Vaccination • Strong Ag-Specific Responses Induced Post-Vaccine • Immune Response Can Be Re-Directed With Protein/Adjuvant CONFIDENTIAL
Vaccine Optimization • Future Directions: • Adjuvant Formulation, TLR Combinations • ID Delivery CONFIDENTIAL
TLR Agonist Synergy (TLR4/TLR7/8): Human DC CONFIDENTIAL
Intra-dermal Delivery • Sanofi has demonstrated advantages of ID delivery (Fluzone) • BCG Delivered ID • Targeting dermal dendritic cells (DDC) • TLR 4 expressed on DDC • No adjuvants for ID delivery have been developed • GLA formulations are safe and effective ID adjuvants • Clinical Trial of ID GLA Ongoing
Dendritic Cells in Human Skin Langerhans cells • CD1a • Langerin (CD207) • Birbeck granules • E-cadherin CD1a Dermal dendritic cells • CD1b • DC-SIGN (CD209) • FXIIIa DC-SIGN
Intra-dermal Delivery Microneedles Combined with Adjuvant
Cross Cutting Lessons to Accelerate Clinical Development • Common Platforms Useful For Multiple Vaccine Candidates • Adjuvant/Formulation Selection is Critical • More Adjuvant is Not Better • MPL; 40ug vs. 10ug • GLA Formulations: 2ug < 5ug > 20ug • Lowering Development Hurdles • Build on Known Adjuvants When Possible • Use Minimal Amounts CONFIDENTIAL
