Abstract Background Pertussis vaccines containing three or five pertussis antigens are recommended in pregnancy in many countries, but no studies have compared the effect on infants’ antigen-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations. The aim of this study was to compare anti-pertussis IgG responses following primary immunization in infants of mothers vaccinated with TdaP5-IPV (low dose diphtheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid, acellular pertussis [five antigens] and inactivated polio) or TdaP3-IPV in pregnancy (three pertussis antigens). Methods This multi-centre phase IV randomized clinical trial was conducted in a tertiary referral centre and primary care sites in England. Women were randomized to receive TdaP5-IPV (n = 77) or TdaP3-IPV (n = 77) at 28–32 gestational weeks. A non-randomized control group of 44 women who had not received a pertussis-containing vaccine in pregnancy and their 47 infants were enrolled post-partum. Results Following infant primary immunization, there was no difference in the geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) of anti-pertussis toxin, filamentous haemagglutinin or pertactin IgG between infants born to women vaccinated with TdaP5-IPV (n = 67) or TdaP3-IPV (n = 63). However, the GMC of anti-pertussis toxin IgG was lower in infants born to TdaP5-IPV- and TdaP3-IPV-vaccinated mothers compared to infants born to unvaccinated mothers (n = 45) (geometric mean ratio 0.71 [0.56–0.90] and 0.78 [0.61–0.98], respectively); by 13 months of age, this difference was no longer observed. Conclusion Blunting of anti-pertussis toxin IgG response following primary immunization occurs in infants born to women vaccinated with TdaP5-IPV and TdaP3-IPV, with no difference between maternal vaccines. The blunting effect had resolved by 13 months of age. These results may be helpful for countries considering which pertussis-containing vaccine to recommend for use in pregnancy.

e13062 Background: Platinum-based chemotherapy is an important treatment for anthracycline- and taxane-resistant metastatic breast cancer(MBC), especially for triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC). Here, we presented the results of a phase IV clinical study of the third-generation platinum compound lobaplatin (LBP) in the treatment of MBC. Methods: Patients(Pts) diagnosed with MBC who had previously received chemotherapies containing anthracycline and/or taxane were recruited. The chemotherapy regimen was decided by the investigator but must include LBP. The primary endpoint was safety, the secondary study endpoints included PFS, OS, ORR, and DCR. Results: 1181 pts were enrolled from 34 research centers, 252 pts of them were TNBC. The main treatment regimens included LBP plus paclitaxel (134, 11.4%), LBP plus docetaxel(263,22.3%), LBP plus gemcitabine(235,19.9%) and LBP plus vinorelbine (404, 34.3%).The overall incidence of AE and grade III/IV(G3-4) incidence of AE were 95.00% and 58.10%, respectively. The most common AE were leukopenia (79.9%, G3-4: 39.5%), neutropenia(75.4%, G3-4: 43.8%), anemia(67.4%, G3-4: 17.8%), and thrombocytopenia(51.1%, G3-4: 17.8%). Creatinine clearance rate (Ccr) was the main influence factor for thrombocytopenia, the incidence of G3-4 thrombocytopenia in pts with Ccr < 60 ml/min were higher than that in pts with Ccr≥60 ml/min. Median follow-up was 36 months. The ORR and DCR were 36.8% and 76.9%, respectively. The mPFS and mOS were 5.5 months and 15.4 months, respectively. The efficacy of LBP combined with taxanes was significantly better than that of other regimens. Different sites of metastasis, ECOG score, clinical stage and age were the main factors influencing for efficacy. Conclusions: LBP-based regimens are effective and safe, and these regimens provide an alternatively treatment option for Chinese MBC pts. Clinical trial information: ChiCTR-ONC-13003471.
