Abstract

Current seasonal influenza vaccines have reduced immunogenicity and are of suboptimal efficacy in older adults. We have previously shown that the novel candidate vaccineMVA-NP+M1 is able to boost memory T cell responses in adultsaged 50-85 years. Pre-clinical studies have demonstrated that viral vectored vaccines can act as adjuvants when co-administered with protein-based vaccines.We have conducted a phase I clinical trial to compare co-administration of seasonal influenza vaccine and MVA-NP+M1, to seasonal influenza vaccine alone in adults aged 50 years and over. This combination of vaccines was safe and well tolerated. T cell responses to internal influenza proteins were boosted to significantly higher levels in the group receiving MVA-NP+M1 compared to the group receiving seasonal influenza vaccine alone. Rates of seroprotection and seroconversionagainst the three vaccine strains were similar in both groups however there was a significant increase in the geometric mean titre ratio for the H3N2 component of seasonal influenza vaccine in the co-administration group. While some vaccine combinations result in immune interference, the co-administration of MVA-NP+M1 alongside seasonal influenza vaccine is shown here to increase some influenza strain-specific antibody responses and boost memory T cells capable of recognising a range of influenza A subtypes.Molecular Therapy (2013); doi:10.1038/mt.2013.162.
