  • Scientific Considerations for the Regulation and Clinical Evaluation of HIV/AIDS Preventive Vaccines
    WHO–UNAIDS REPORT Scientific considerations for the regulation and clinical evaluation of HIV/AIDS preventive vaccines Reportà from a WHO-UNAIDS Consultation 13–15 March 2001, Geneva, Switzerland The consultation was jointly organized by the WHO-UNAIDS HIV Vaccine Initiative and the Quality Assurance and Safety of Biologicals Team of the World Health Organization (WHO). Thirty-four experts from 16 developed and developing countries attended the meeting, bringing together expertise from academic institutions, clinical trial centres, national and international regulatory authorities. Representatives of major pharmaceutical companies were also invited. The primary objective of the meeting was to identify gaps that need to be addressed from regulatory perspective to ensure appropriate progress of HIV vaccine develop- ment from basic research to human trials, licensing and future application, with a special focus on needs of developing countries. As a result of discussions, the following priority needs were identified and recommen- dations were made in order to establish an appropriate regulatory framework for the development and evaluation of preventive HIV/AIDS vaccines, which were divided in two main areas: (a) standardization and control of candidate HIV/AIDS vaccines, and (b) approaches to the conduct of clinical trials of candidate HIV/AIDS vaccines.& 2002 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins AIDS 2002, 16:W15–W25 Keywords: HIV/AIDS vaccines, product development, clinical trials, regulatory requirements Introduction the best hope of prevention

  • HPV Vaccination to Prevent HIV Infection: Time for Randomized Controlled Trials Maarten F
    COMMENTARY HPV Vaccination to Prevent HIV Infection: Time for Randomized Controlled Trials Maarten F. Schim van der Loeff, MD, PhD,*† Alan G. Nyitray, PhD,‡ and Anna R. Giuliano, PhD‡ Despite many years of rigorous evaluation of a variety of interventions, HIV incidence rates in parts of Africa remain unacceptably high. A recent review identified 37 randomized controlled trials testing interventions to reduce HIV incidence.1 Except for 3 randomized controlled trials of male circumcision2–4 and 1 trial of syndromic treatment of sexually transmitted diseases,5 and, recently, 1 trial of a vaginal microbicide,6 no significant reductions in HIV incidence were observed. In some trials of vaginal microbicides, trial participants in the active treatment arm actually had increased HIV incidence rates.7 Trials with candidate vaccines have been equally disappointing.8 A recently completed trial of a prime-boost strategy conducted in Thailand showed statistically significant, but limited, protection against HIV.9 Nevertheless, even vaccine optimists think that a preventive HIV vaccine is many years away. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) were identified as important cofactors for HIV trans- mission early in the epidemic.10,11 Many prospective observational studies showed that the presence of ulcerative and nonulcerative STIs increased the likelihood of HIV transmission.10,11 Several interventions were based on this observation including mass treatment with antibiotics,12 improved syndromic management of STIs,5,13 and herpes simplex virus (HSV)-2 suppressive treatment.14 Null findings of these interventions should be interpreted with caution. Failure to show an effect does not necessarily mean that the STI is not causally associated with HIV.

  • Impact of Vaccine Type on HIV-1 Vaccine Elicited Antibody Durability
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Impact of vaccine type on HIV‑1 vaccine elicited antibody durability and B cell gene signature Rohith Palli1,2,15, Kelly E. Seaton3,15, Michael S. Piepenbrink4, John Hural5, Paul A. Goepfert4, Fatima Laher6, Susan P. Buchbinder7, Gavin Churchyard8, Glenda E. Gray6,9, Harriet L. Robinson10, Yunda Huang5, Holly Janes5,11, James J. Kobie4, Michael C. Keefer12, Georgia D. Tomaras3 & Juilee Thakar13,14* Efcacious HIV‑1 vaccination requires elicitation of long‑lived antibody responses. However, our understanding of how diferent vaccine types elicit durable antibody responses is lacking. To assess the impact of vaccine type on antibody responses, we measured IgG isotypes against four consensus HIV antigens from 2 weeks to 10 years post HIV‑1 vaccination and used mixed efects models to estimate half‑life of responses in four human clinical trials. Compared to protein‑boosted regimens, half‑lives of gp120‑specifc antibodies were longer but peak magnitudes were lower in Modifed Vaccinia Ankara (MVA)‑boosted regimens. Furthermore, gp120‑specifc B cell transcriptomics from MVA‑boosted and protein‑boosted vaccines revealed a distinct signature at a peak (2 weeks after last vaccination) including CD19, CD40, and FCRL2‑5 activation along with increased B cell receptor signaling. Additional analysis revealed contributions of RIG‑I‑like receptor pathway and genes such as SMAD5 and IL‑32 to antibody durability. Thus, this study provides novel insights into vaccine induced antibody durability and B‑cell receptor signaling. While vaccine-elicited antibody durability has been achieved for licensed vaccines such as yellow fever, measles, smallpox, and Hepatitis B, elicitation of long-lived, functional antibody responses with candidate HIV-1 vac- cine regimens remains elusive1,2.

  • HIV Vaccines in Canada
    The Global Effort Some progress has been made in the global effort to find an HIV vaccine. Advances in molecular biolo- gy and basic HIV research have led to the develop- ment of promising strategies. Some experimental 1 vaccines have shown the ability to protect non- human primates from infection by a virus closely related to HIV. A number of candidate vaccines HIV have been shown to be safe in small-scale (Phase I Vaccines and II) clinical trials and to trigger HIV-specific in Canada immune responses. Some people repeatedly exposed to HIV resist infection and mount HIV specific immune responses, which provides important clues for the design of an effective HIV vaccine. There is a growing scientific consensus that an effective HIV vaccine is possible. Since 1987, when the first HIV vaccine trial was conducted, about 30 candidate vaccines have been tested in approximately 60 phase I/II clinical trials, Current State involving more than 10,000 healthy human volun- teers. Two candidate vaccines are undergoing large-scale (Phase III) efficacy evaluation in North of HIV Vaccine America, the Netherlands, and Thailand. The final results from these trials are expected in 2003. A Phase III trial of another candidate vaccine is Research scheduled to start in early 2003 in Thailand, with results expected by 2007.
