    Journal, MRI:  The application of cardiac MRI in Myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccines: Case series from single medical center in Taiwan. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 5, 2024   
    Cardiac MRI characterizes myocardial features such as edema, inflammation, and fibrosis, and has been proven to diagnose myocarditis accurately with a sensitivity of 87.5% and a specificity of 96.2% according to the 2018 Lake Louise criteria. This diagnosis was achieved without invasive procedures such as endomyocardial biopsy or coronary angiography.

    Journal:  Molecular Evolution of Dengue Virus 3 in Senegal between 2009 and 2022: Dispersal Patterns and Implications for Prevention and Therapeutic Countermeasures. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 28, 2023   
    Comparison of the amino acids in the CprM-E regions of genomes from the Senegalese strains against the vaccine strains revealed the presence of 22 substitutions (7 within the PrM and 15 within the E gene) when compared to CYD-3, while 23 changes were observed when compared to TV003 (6 within the PrM and 17 within the E gene)...Altogether, these data give up-to-date insight into DENV-3 genomic evolution in Senegal which needs to be taken into account in future vaccination strategies. Additionally, they highlight the importance of the genomic epidemiology of emerging pathogens in Africa and call for the implementation of a pan-African network for genomic surveillance of dengue virus.

    There is a need to put more effort into developing effective vaccines and therapeutics for dengue, as already approved vaccines and therapeutics have limitations. DENGVAXIA is approved for use in children and teenagers who are 6-16 years of age and have confirmed dengue infection, while Takeda is approved for use in certain countries, and it has withdrawn its application for FDA approval.

  • ||||||||||  Journal:  Risk reduction analysis of mix-and-match vaccination strategy in healthcare workers during SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant predominant period: A multi-center cohort study in Taiwan. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 7, 2023   
    This study investigated the relative effectiveness of a mix-and-match vaccination strategy, primarily comprising ChAdOx1 nCOV-19, mRNA-1273, BNT162b2, and a protein-based vaccine, MVC-COV1901, against COVID-19 in a healthcare worker (HCW) cohort in Taiwan during a period when the Omicron variant was predominant...Secondly, for HCWs receiving an mRNA-1273 booster, compared to those receiving ChAdOx1 nCOV-19 as the primary series, mixed primary series and homologous mRNA-1273 primary series were associated with a higher (Adj HR 1.144; 95% CI 1.021?1.282, P?=?.021) and lower risk (Adj HR 0.735; 95% CI 0.671?0.805, P?<?.001) of acquiring infection, respectively. Our study demonstrated that mix-and-match vaccination strategy may be associated with different level of risk reduction in acquiring infection, and sizable, prospective studies are encouraged to further elucidate our observation.

  • ||||||||||  Review, Journal:  A dengue vaccine whirlwind update. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 28, 2023   
    While no specific treatments outside of supportive management exist, vaccines are an area of major research with two vaccines, Dengvaxia (CYD-TDV) and Denvax (TAK003), recently licensed for clinical use...Other vaccines including TV003 and TV005 continue to be developed across the world, with the hopes of entering clinical trials in the near future. We discuss the current state of vaccine development against dengue, with a focus on CYD-TDV and TAK003 as promising novel vaccines to target this neglected tropical disease (NTD).

    Development of allogenic nonviral RNA-based CAR-NK therapy targeting CDH17 in relapsed/refractory gastrointestinal cancer. () -  Apr 26, 2023 - Abstract #ASCO2023ASCO_4595;    
    Ex vivo expanded human peripheral blood NK (Magicell-NK, Medigen, Taiwan) cells were used in this study. Our findings suggest that a non-viral based CDH17 CAR-NK cell therapy could be a potential allogeneic, off-the-shelf CAR-NK therapy candidate in GI cancer and support the rationale of further investigating it in vivo and clinical trials.

    Acute reactogenicity and impact of work absenteeism for the four COVID vaccines in the V-Watch survey were mild and of short duration. This study compared memory T cells, total spike-binding antibody levels, and neutralizing capacity against WT, Delta, and Omicron variants between the MVC vaccine and the widely used Moderna and AZ vaccines, which provides valuable information for future vaccine development strategies.

    Journal, Benefit-risk assessment:  A Brighton Collaboration standardized template with key considerations for a benefit/risk assessment for the Medigen COVID-19 protein vaccine. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 4, 2023   
    This article uses the BRAVATO template to review the features of the MVC-COV1901 vaccine, a recombinant protein subunit vaccine based on the stabilized pre-fusion SARS-CoV-2 spike protein S-2P, adjuvanted with CpG 1018 and aluminum hydroxide, manufactured by Medigen Vaccine Biologics Corporation in Taiwan...The main clinical trials include placebo-controlled phase 2 studies in healthy adults (CT-COV-21), adolescents (CT-COV-22), and elderly population (CT-COV-23) as well as 3 immunobridging phase 3 trials (CT-COV-31, CT-COV-32, and CT-COV-34) in which MVC-COV1901 was compared to AZD1222...Antigen-specific T-cell responses, particularly a Th1-biased immune response characterized by high levels of interferon gamma and IL-2 cytokines, have also been observed. Coupled with this, MVC-COV1901 has favorable thermostability and better safety profiles when compared to other authorized vaccines from different platforms, which make it potentially a good candidate for vaccine supply chains in global markets.

    Journal, IO biomarker:  The dengue virus 4 component of NIAID's tetravalent TV003 vaccine drives its innate immune signature. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 4, 2023   
    Finally, we found that the DEN-4Δ30 backbone in the DENV-2 component of the vaccine enhanced its antigenic properties, as evidenced by enhanced ability to induce IP-10 and IFNα2 in monocyte-derived dendritic cells. In sum, our study shows that the Δ30 and Δ30/Δ31 mutations attenuate the DENV vaccine strains in terms of replication and infectivity while still allowing the induction of a robust innate immune response.

    MVC-COV1901 is a subunit SARS-CoV-2 vaccine based on stabilized spike protein adjuvanted with CpG 1018 and aluminum hydroxide that has received emergency use approval (EUA) for adults in Taiwan...All immunogenicity endpoints in the adolescent group were non-inferior to the endpoints seen in the young adult and placebo groups. The results here advocate the use of MVC-COV1901 in adolescents in the ongoing efforts to control the pandemic.ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT04951388.
  • ||||||||||  Journal:  Serological responses triggered by different SARS-CoV-2 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 variants in Taiwan. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 3, 2022   
    We collected sera samples between December 2021-January 2022 from 113 Taiwan naïve participants after their second dose of homologous vaccine (AZD1222, mRNA-1273, BNT162-b2, and MVC-COV1901) and compared the differences in serological responses of various SARS-CoV-2 vaccines...These results suggested that constantly administering the vaccine with ancestral Wuhan spike is insufficient for the Omicron outbreak. In addition, we found that anti-ACE2 autoantibodies were significantly increased in all four vaccinated groups compared to the unvaccinated pre-pandemic group, which needed to be investigated in the future.

    These results support the use of MVC-COV1901 as a heterologous booster for individuals vaccinated with AZD1222. Furthermore, regardless of the dosing schedule, the combination of AZD1222 primary series and MVC-COV1901 booster can be cost-effective and suitably applied to low- and middle-income countries (LMIC).

    Four vaccines, including one viral vector (ChAdOx1 nCov-19, n = 30), two mRNA (mRNA1273, n = 81 and BNT162b2, n = 38), and one protein subunit (MVC-COV1901, n = 22) vaccines were administered...In conclusion, mRNA1273 had better immunogenicity than the other vaccines. Further, renal function needs to be carefully monitored after vaccination, and vaccination strategies should be tailored according to the transplant status and vaccine characteristics.
