Immunogenicity and safety of low dose virosomal adjuvanted influenza vaccine administered intradermally compared to intramuscular full dose administration
چکیده انگلیسی

BackgroundDespite the established benefit of intramuscular (i.m.) influenza vaccination, new adjuvants and delivery methods for comparable or improved immunogenicity are being explored. Intradermal (i.d.) antigen administration is hypothesized to initiate an efficient immune response at reduced antigen doses similar to that observed after i.m. full dose vaccination.MethodsIn a randomized, partially blinded phase II study 224, healthy adults aged ≥18 to ≤60 years were randomly assigned to four groups and received trivalent influenza vaccine at single doses of 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0 μg hemagglutinin (HA) antigen of each influenza virus strain via i.d. injection or 15.0 μg HA of each influenza strain via i.m. delivery. Serum anti-influenza virus antibodies were determined by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay before and 3 weeks after vaccination. Safety assessments were made at baseline and at the follow-up visit by the investigators and for a 4-day period post-vaccination by the subjects themselves.ResultsThe EMEA requirements for re-licensing of influenza vaccines were fulfilled in all groups 3 weeks after vaccination, irrespective of dose and mode of administration. High seroconversion rates were observed in all study groups and for all strains ranging from 50.9 to 85.5% and 70.4 to 87.0% after i.d. and i.m. vaccination, respectively. Seroprotection rates for the A strains A/Solomon Islands and A/Wisconsin were generally higher compared to the B/Malaysia strain and ranged from 89.1 to 98.2% across the i.d. groups. Similar rates of 96.3% for the A/Solomon Islands and 94.4% for the A/Wisconsin strain were observed in the i.m. group. Seroprotection rates for the B/Malaysia strain were 65.5, 83.0 and 72.7% after i.d. administration of 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 μg HA of each strain, respectively, compared to a seroprotection rate of 85.2% in the i.m. group. In addition, marked increases in geometric mean titer (GMT) were observed across the groups for all influenza virus strains ranging from 6.9 to 70.5 for i.d. and from 16.9 to 56.5 for i.m. antigen delivery. Both routes of administration were well tolerated. Systemic reactions were broadly similar across the groups. With respect to local reactions the frequency of injection site pain and ecchymosis were significantly lower following i.d. vaccination, while other local reactions such as erythema occurred at higher rates with i.d. than with i.m. vaccine administration, as expected due to the mechanism of action for the i.d. route.ConclusionsThe virosomal adjuvanted influenza vaccine (Inflexal®V) was shown to be overall highly immunogenic and well tolerated when given i.d. at reduced doses to healthy adults, eliciting an immune response similar to that observed with full dose i.m. administration and thus suggesting a promising antigen-sparing strategy for universal influenza vaccination against endemic influenza.Trial registrationISRCTN registry number: 33950739.
