    Clinical Trial,Phase I, Journal:  Adolescent BCG revaccination induces a phenotypic shift in CD4+ T cell responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 19, 2024   
    In a companion phase 1b trial, HVTN 602/Aeras A-042, we characterize in-depth the cellular responses to BCG revaccination or to a H4:IC31 vaccine boost to identify T cell subsets that could be responsible for the protection observed...Additionally, a small cluster of Th17 TEM cells induced by BCG revaccination expresses high levels of CD103; these may represent recirculating tissue-resident memory cells that could provide pulmonary immune protection. Together, these results identify unique populations of CD4+ T cells with potential to be immune correlates of protection conferred by BCG revaccination.

    Journal:  Multidimensional analyses reveal modulation of adaptive and innate immune subsets by tuberculosis vaccines. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 22, 2021   
    Responses are measured by whole blood intracellular cytokine staining at baseline and 70 days after vaccination with H4:IC31 (subunit vaccine containing Ag85B and TB10.4), Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG, a live attenuated vaccine) or placebo (nā€‰=ā€‰~30 per group)...In vitro BCG re-stimulation also triggers responses by donor-unrestricted T cells, which may contribute to host responses against mycobacteria. BCG, which demonstrated efficacy against sustained Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, modulates multiple immune cell subsets, in particular conventional Th1 and Th22 cells, which should be investigated in discovery studies of correlates of protection.

    Review, Journal:  Vaccine strategies for the Mtb/HIV copandemic. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 23, 2020   
    Modification of these vaccine candidates against TB/HIV coinfection could reveal key correlates of protection in a representative animal model. This review discusses the (i) potential TB vaccine candidates that can be exploited for use as a dual vaccine against TB/HIV copandemic (ii) progress made in the realm of TB/HIV dual vaccine candidates in small animal model, NHP model, and human clinical trials (iii) the failures and promising targets for a successful vaccine strategy while delineating the correlates of vaccine-induced protection.

    Preclinical, Journal:  An in vitro functional assay to measure the biological activity of TB vaccine candidate H4-IC31. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 27, 2020   
    The CSA is specific to the H4-IC31 vaccine, determines the RSA of H4-IC31 in the range of 50% to 150% of the reference standard, and is stability indicating as it detects differences in RSA between intact and heat treated H4-IC31. Although the CSA does not provide a link to clinical efficacy, it fulfills the critical requirements for a biological potency test to assess TB vaccine candidates and can be used along with biochemical and immunochemical assays to define a product profile during clinical development, while eliminating the use of animals for product testing.

    Clinical, Journal:  Designing tuberculosis vaccine efficacy trials - lessons from recent studies. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 12, 2020   
    They are the first Prevention of Infection trial, evaluating the H4:IC31 candidate or BCG revaccination in high-risk adolescents and a Prevention of Disease trial evaluating the M72/AS01 candidate in M.tuberculosis-infected, healthy adults...Expert opinion: The opportunities created by these two trials for gaining critically important knowledge are game-changing for TB vaccine development. Their results clearly establish feasibility in the relatively near term of developing novel, effective vaccines that could be crucial to ending the TB epidemic.

    Biomarker, Clinical, Journal:  Meeting report: 5th Global Forum on TB Vaccines, 20-23 February 2018, New Delhi India. (Pubmed Central) -  May 8, 2019   
    ...New vaccines are in clinical trials, new routes of delivery are being tested, novel assays and biomarker signatures are being developed, and the results from the first prevention of infection clinical trial with the H4:IC31 vaccine candidate and BCG revaccination were presented...The following report presents highlights from talks presented at this Global Forum. A full program, abstract book and presentations (where publicly available) from the Forum may be found at tbvaccinesforum.org.
