Abstract Background Dengue (DENV) is a mosquito-borne virus with four serotypes causing substantial morbidity in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide. A dengue vaccine that can be given to both seronegative and seropositive populations remains an important unmet medical need. V181 is an investigational live, attenuated, quadrivalent dengue vaccine. Methods In this phase 1 double-blind, placebo-controlled study, the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V181 in healthy adults were evaluated in two formulations: TV003 and TV005. TV005 has a 10-fold higher DENV2 component as compared to TV003. Two-hundred participants [~ 50% baseline flavivirus-experienced (BFE) and 50% baseline flavivirus-naive (BFN)] were randomized 2:2:1 to receive TV003, TV005, or placebo on Days 1 and 180. Immunogenicity against each of the four DENV serotypes was measured using a Virus Reduction Neutralization Test (VRNT60) after each vaccination and out to 1 year after the second dose. Results There were no discontinuations due to adverse events (AEs) or vaccine-related serious AEs. The most common AEs Days 1-28 after any TV003 or TV005 vaccination were rash, headache, fatigue, and myalgia. DENV VRNT60 seropositivity to 3 or 4 serotypes (i.e. tri-or tetravalent) was demonstrated in 92.6% of BFN TV003 participants, 74.2% of BFN TV005 participants, and 100% of the BFE participants at 6 months postdose 1 (PD1). Vaccine viremia, a measure of vaccine infectivity, was transiently detected from all four DENV types after the first dose of TV003 and TV005. Tri- or tetravalent vaccine-viremia was detected in 63.9 % and 25.6 % of BFN TV003 and TV005 participants, respectively, PD1. Compared to baseline, robust increases in VRNT60 GMTs were observed after the first dose of TV003 and TV005 in both flavivirus subgroups for all DENV serotypes and minimal increases were observed PD2. GMTs in the TV003 and TV005 BFE and BFN subgroups remained above the respective baselines and placebo at 1-year PD2. Conclusion Both formulations of V181 were generally well tolerated in healthy adults. Overall, viremia and immunogenicity were higher after TV003 as compared to TV005. These data support the continued development of the V181 TV003 formulation as a single-dose vaccine for the prevention of DENV disease. Disclosures Kevin Russell, MD, MTM&H, Merck & Co., Inc.

This study describes a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled phase I clinical trial in healthy adults of a new potential pandemic H7N9 live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) based on the human influenza virus of Yangtze River Delta hemagglutinin lineage (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03739229). Two doses of H7N9 LAIV or placebo were administered intranasally to 30 and 10 subjects, respectively. The vaccine was well-tolerated and not associated with increased rates of adverse events or with any serious adverse events. Vaccine virus was detected in nasal swabs during the 6 days after vaccination or revaccination. A lower frequency of shedding was observed after the second vaccination. Twenty-five clinical viral isolates obtained after the first and second doses of vaccine retained the temperature-sensitive and cold-adapted phenotypic characteristics of LAIV. There was no confirmed transmission of the vaccine strain from vaccinees to placebo recipients. After the two H7N9 LAIV doses, an immune response was observed in 96.6% of subjects in at least one of the assays conducted.

Background The significant morbidity and mortality resulted from the infection of a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) call for urgent development of effective and safe vaccines. We report the immunogenicity and safety of a SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine, KCONVAC, in healthy adults. Methods Two phase 1 and phase 2 randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trials of KCONVAC were conducted in Chinese healthy adults aged 18 through 59 years. The phase 1 trial was conducted in a manner of dosage escalation. The first 30 participants were randomized in a ratio of 4:1 to receive two doses of either KCONVAC at 5 μg per dose or placebo on Day 0 and Day 14, and the second 30 participants were randomized to receive either KCONVAC at 10 μg per dose or placebo following the same procedures. The participants in the phase 2 trial were randomized in a ratio of 2:2:1 to receive either KCONVAC at 5 μg or 10 μg per dose, or placebo on Day 0 and Day 14, or Day 0 and Day 28. In the phase 1 trial, the primary safety endpoint was the proportion of participants experiencing adverse reactions/events within 28 days following each vaccination. Antibody response and cellular response were assayed in the phase 1 trial. In the phase 2 trial, the primary immunogenicity endpoint was the seroconversion and titre of neutralization antibody, and the seroconversion of receptor binding domain (RBD)-IgG 28 days after the second dose. Findings In the phase 1 trial, 60 participants were enrolled and received at least one dose of 5-μg vaccine (N=24), 10-μg vaccine (N=24), or placebo (N=12). In the phase 2 trial, 500 participants were enrolled and received at least one dose of 5-μg vaccine (N=100 for 0/14 or 0/28 regimens), 10-μg vaccine (N=100 for each regimen), or placebo (N=50 for each regimen). In the phase 1 trial, 13 (54%), 11(46%), and 7 (58%) participants reported at least one adverse event (AE), of whom 10 (42%), 6 (25%), and 6 (50%) participants reported at least one vaccination-related AE after receiving 5-μg vaccine, 10-μg vaccine, or placebo, respectively. In the phase 2 trial, 16 (16%), 19 (19%), and 9 (18%) participants reported at least one AE, of whom 13 (13%), 17 (17%), and 6 (12%) participants reported at least one vaccination-related AE after receiving 5-μg vaccine, 10-μg vaccine, or placebo at the regimen of Day 0/14, respectively. Similar results were observed in the three treatment groups of Day 0/28 regimen. All the AEs were grade 1 or 2 in intensity. No AE of grade 3 or more was reported. One SAE (foot fracture) was reported in the phase 1 trial. KCONVAC induced significant antibody response. 87.5% (21/24) to 100% (24/24) of participants in the phase 1 trial and 83.0% (83/100) to 100% (99/99) of participants in the phase 2 trial seroconverted for neutralising antibody to live virus, neutralising antibody to pseudovirus, and RBD-IgG after receiving two doses. Across the treatment groups in the two trials, the geometric mean titres (GMTs) of neutralising antibody to live virus ranged from 29.3 to 49.1 at Day 0/14 regimen and from 100.2 to 131.7 at Day 0/28 regimen, neutralising antibody to pseudovirus ranged from 69.4 to 118.7 at Day 0/14 regimen and from 153.6 to 276.6 at Day 0/28 regimen, and RBD-IgG ranged from 605.3 to 1169.8 at Day 0/14 regimen and from 1496.8 to 2485.5 at Day 0/28 regimen. RBD-IgG subtyping assay showed that a significant part of RBD-IgG was IgG1. The vaccine induced obvious T-cell response with 56.5% (13/23) and 62.5% (15/24) of participants in 5-μg and 10-μg vaccine groups showed positive interferon-γ enzyme-linked immunospot responses 14 days after the second dose in the phase 1 trial, respectively. Interpretation KCONVAC is well tolerated and able to induce robust antibody response and cellular response in adults aged 18 to 59 years, which warrants further evaluation with this vaccine in the upcoming phase 3 efficacy trial.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to spread rapidly worldwide. This study is the first to report the tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of a recombinant human anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody, etesevimab (CB6, JS016, LY3832479 or LY-CoV016), in healthy adults. This paper involves a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 1 study. A total of 40 participants were enrolled to receive a single intravenous dose of either etesevimab or a placebo in one of four sequential ascending intravenous dose cohorts. All 40 participants completed the study. Seventeen (42.5%) participants experienced 22 treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) that were drug-related, and the rates of these TEAEs among different dose cohorts were numerically comparable. No difference was observed between the combined etesevimab group and the placebo group. The exposure after etesevimab infusion increased in an approximately proportional manner as the dose increased from 2.5 to 50 mg/kg. The elimination half-life (t1/2) value did not differ among different dose cohorts and was estimated to be around 4 weeks. Etesevimab was well tolerated after administration of a single dose at a range of 2.5 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg in healthy Chinese adults. The PK profiles of etesevimab in healthy volunteers showed typical monoclonal antibody distribution and elimination characteristics.

ABSTRACTCytomegalovirus can cause debilitating and life-threatening disease in newborns infectedin uteroand immunocompromised individuals, including transplant recipients. RG7667 is a unique combination of two monoclonal antibodies that binds glycoprotein complexes on the surface of cytomegalovirus and inhibits its entry into host cells. A phase 1 first-in-human, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study of RG7667 given intravenously was conducted in 181 healthy adults. The study involved a single ascending dose stage (1, 3, 5, and 10 mg/kg each antibody;n= 21), a multiple ascending dose stage (5 and 10 mg/kg each antibody monthly for 3 doses;n= 10), and a multiple dose expansion stage (10 mg/kg each antibody monthly for 3 doses;n= 150). Subjects were followed for 85 to 141 days to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity. Most adverse events were mild, and the incidence of adverse events was similar among the RG7667 and placebo groups. RG7667 had dose-proportional pharmacokinetics in all three dosing stages, a mean terminal half-life of 20 to 30 days, and an overall pharmacokinetic profile consistent with that of a human monoclonal antibody that lacks endogenous host targets. The proportion of subjects developing an antitherapeutic antibody response was not higher in the RG7667 group than in the placebo group. In summary, single and multiple doses of RG7667 were found to be safe and well-tolerated in healthy adults and had a favorable pharmacokinetic and immunogenicity profile. This study supports further development of RG7667 as a therapy for the prevention and treatment of cytomegalovirus infection in susceptible populations.

ABSTRACTVaborbactam (formerly RPX7009) is a member of a new class of β-lactamase inhibitor with pharmacokinetic properties similar to those of many β-lactams, including carbapenems. The pharmacokinetics and safety of vaborbactam were evaluated in 80 healthy adult subjects in a first-in-human randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, sequential single- and multiple-ascending-dose study. A total of 10 dose cohorts were enrolled in the study, with 6 subjects randomized to receive 250 to 2,000 mg of vaborbactam and 2 subjects randomized to receive placebo in each cohort. Maximum concentrations for vaborbactam were achieved at the end of the 3-h infusion. Vaborbactam exposure (Cmaxand area under the concentration-time curve [AUC]) increased in a dose-proportional manner following multiple doses. There was no evidence of accumulation with multiple doses, consistent with the terminal half-life of ∼2 h. Both the volume of distribution (Vss) and plasma clearance were independent of dose. For the 2,000-mg dose, the plasma clearance was 0.17 ± 0.03 liters/h, the AUC from 0 h to infinity (AUC0–∞) was 144.00 ± 13.90 mg · h/liter, and theVsswas 21.80 ± 2.26 mg · h/liter. Urinary recovery was 80% or greater over 48 h across all dose groups. No subjects discontinued the study due to adverse events (AEs), and no serious AEs (SAEs) were observed. All AEs were mild to moderate and similar among the vaborbactam- and placebo-treated subjects, with mild lethargy as the only unique AE reported with the high dose of vaborbactam. Overall, this study revealed the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of vaborbactam and formed the basis for advancement into patient studies in combination with meropenem, including treatment of patients with carbapenem-resistantEnterobacteriaceae(CRE) infections.
