Zinc and/or Probiotic Supplementation of Rotavirus and Oral Polio Virus Vaccines

Immunity to Oral Rotavirus VaccineImmunity to Oral Polio Vaccine1 more

Background: Strategies are needed to improve oral rotavirus vaccine (RV), which provides suboptimal protection in developing countries. Probiotics and zinc supplementation could improve RV immunogenicity by altering the intestinal microbiota and immune function. This study enrolled infants 5 weeks old living in urban Vellore, India to assess the effects of daily zinc (5 mg), probiotic (1010 Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG) or placebo on the immunogenicity of two doses of RV (Rotarix,GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals) given at 6 and 10 weeks of age. Probiotics and zinc (or placebo) were provided for six weeks. A single dose of test product was administered daily one week prior to first study dose of rotavirus and polio vaccines through 1 week following second study dose of rotavirus and polio vaccines.

A Campaign-based ID fIPV Administration Trial

Poliomyelitis

The introduction of one dose of the inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) into routine immunization schedules in OPV-only using countries as part of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) was planned for completion in 2016. However, due to recent developments in the global IPV supply landscape, the GPEI polio eradication program is facing a critical shortage of the vaccine which is forecast to continue until at least the end of 2017. The shortage means that some countries that have already introduced the vaccine, but which are considered to be relatively low risk (The Gambia included), will be left without adequate supplies and in other countries IPV introduction is being unavoidably delayed. Exacerbating the shortage is the need to reserve IPV for future outbreak responses (OBR). The current OBR protocol recommends that, if a circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2) outbreak occurs (after the recent global switch from trivalent to bivalent OPV), a large scale IPV campaign will be implemented to increase population immunity to the type 2 poliovirus in an large area surrounding the outbreak as high risk of extending transmission. Due to above, dose-sparing through the administration of intra-dermal (ID) fractional (one fifth - 0.1mL) doses of IPV (fIPV) has become a very important focus and, for planning purposes, there is an urgent need to assess the practical and logistic challenges a country such as The Gambia would face in rapidly undertaking an ID fIPV campaign.

Characterization of the Immunological Profile Patients With Post-polio Syndrome

Poliomyelitis Sequelae

Many patients with polio sequelae have persistent and progressive worsening more than 15 years after the initial damage, with loss of muscle strength, asthenia and musculoskeletal pain. In these patients, there is a denervation process associated with insufficient reinnervation. The frequency of this syndrome post-polio (SPP) is of the order of 20 to 60% according to the studies. In the literature, several studies have advanced the hypothesis of immune dysregulation to this late degradation, with greater expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and abnormal phenotypic expression of T cells in the bloodstream. In this context, the use of immunomodulatory immunoglobulin IV treatment was studied several times, with no significant result on pain, fatigue and muscle strength scores. In the absence of significant efficacy of immunoglobulin treatment, the objective of this study is therefore to define the immunological profile of patients with post-polio syndrome, compared with control subjects, in order to support the pathophysiology of this syndrome. to study the possible presence of an inflammatory syndrome associated with this syndrome. On the other hand, depending on the results found, referral to targeted therapies could be considered.

Exploration of the Biologic Basis for Underperformance of Oral Polio and Rotavirus Vaccines in INDIA...

PoliomyelitisTropical Enteropathy

Oral polio and rotavirus vaccines are significantly less effective in children living in the developing world. Tropical enteropathy, which is associated with intestinal inflammation, decreased absorption and increased permeability, may contribute substantially to oral vaccine failure in developing country settings. Other possible causes of oral vaccine underperformance include malnutrition, interference with maternal or breast milk antibodies, changes in gut microbiota, and genetic susceptibility.The primary Objective of this study is to determine whether decreased vaccine responsiveness to oral poliovirus or rotavirus vaccines is associated with the presence of tropical enteropathy.

Poliomyelitis

The study will assess and compare the immune response and safety following the co-administration of Novel Oral Polio Type 2 (nOPV2) and bivalent Oral Polio Vaccine (bOPV) in comparison with nOPV2 or bOPV in infants aged 2 months who have never received vaccination against poliomyelitis.

A Study to Evaluate Immunogenicity of Various Schedules of Inactivated Polio Vaccine

Poliomyelitis

The study will evaluate the humoral immunogenicity in various schedule combinations of full dose inactivated polio vaccines (IPV) via intramuscular administration (IM) and of the fractional dose of inactivated poliovaccine (f-IPV) via intradermal administration (ID).

Immunogenicity of 1 or 2 Doses of bOPV in Chilean Infants Primed With IPV Vaccine

Polio

The rationale for this study (IPV 002ABMG) is to evaluate and compare three doses of IPV, two doses of IPV plus one bOPV, and one dose of IPV plus two doses of bOPV in order to provide evidence for better immunization policy making in regions of the world that must switch to use of IPV/bOPV schedules in the 2014-2015 time frame. The goal is to identify the best option optimizing humoral immune responses, intestinal immunity and thereby prevent community transmission as well as preventing VAPP. Specifically, the study seeks to show that both of the sequential regimens are equivalent (not-inferior) to the 3-dose IPV regimen in the seroconversion rates to both type 1 and type 3 poliovirus such that not more than 10% of subjects fall below the 95% confidence interval observed for the 3-dose IPV alone regimen and the geometric mean titers (GMTs) are no more than 2/3 logs less than those for the 3-dose IPV regimen. In addition, the study will evaluate by a novel method (poliovirus shedding index), the adequacy of IPV vaccines in inducing intestinal immunity, specifically by reducing the shedding of poliovirus type 2 after an OPV challenge. The hypotheses of the study are: A 3-dose IPV/bOPV sequential schedule including 1 or 2 doses of bOPV is non-inferior in terms of types 1 and 3 seroconversion rates and GMTs to a 3-dose IPV schedule. Two and possibly 1 IPV dose(s) provides significant seroconversion rates and GMTs to type 2 poliovirus and sufficient priming to induce a rapid immune response in the context of an oral challenge at 7 months of age. Three, 2, and possibly 1 dose of IPV will induce intestinal immunity to poliovirus type 2 as measured by a combination of quantity of virus in stools and duration of shedding (shedding index). In addition to these 3 hypotheses, the study will explore the following hypothesis: • Co-administration of bOPV and rotavirus at 16 weeks of age (the second rotavirus dose) provides similar antirotavirus IgA seroconversion rates and GMCs compared to subjects receiving rotavirus vaccine together with IPV.

Immunogenicity of Intramuscular and Intradermal IPV

Poliomyelitis

This is an open-label phase IV randomized clinical trial that will compare immune responses among infants who receive different dose schedules of either fractional dose or full dose inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV), delivered either intramuscularly or intradermally. Note: This study was terminated early due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to early study closure, the study objectives could not be evaluated as planned. Both of the primary objectives and several secondary objectives could not be evaluated because none of the study participants reached the corresponding endpoint. Due to limited sample size, the analysis approach for four secondary objectives was changed from a non-inferiority assessment to a comparison of proportions between groups.
