Abstrakt: Background: Toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) is a superantigen produced by Staphylococcus aureus that causes the life-threatening toxic shock syndrome. The development of a safe and immunogenic vaccine against TSST-1 remains an unmet medical need. We investigated the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of a recombinant TSST-1 variant vaccine (rTSST-1v) after 1-3 injections in healthy volunteers.
Methods: In this randomised, double-blind, adjuvant-controlled, parallel-group, phase 2 trial, healthy adults aged 18-64 were randomly allocated to undergo 1-3 injections of either 10 or 100 μg rTSST-1v or Al(OH) 3 . The primary endpoint was safety and tolerability of rTSST-1v in the intention-to-treat population. The per-protocol population was used for the immunogenicity analysis. The trial is registered with EudraCT#: 2015-003714-24; ClinicalTrials.gov#: NCT02814708.
Findings: Between April and November 2017,140 subjects were enrolled and 126 completed the trial. rTSST-1v showed a good safety and tolerability profile. A total of 855 systemic adverse events occurred, 280 of which were suspected related adverse events, without dose dependency. Two participants were discontinued early because of allergic reactions. Seroconversion occurred in >81% of subjects within 3 months of the first immunisation which was sustained until 18 months after the third immunisation in over 70% of subjects in the pooled low-dose group and in over 85% in the pooled high-dose group.
Interpretation: rTSST-1v in cumulative doses of up to 300 μg was safe, well-tolerated and highly immunogenic. Two immunisations with 100 μg rTSST-1v provided the most persistent immune response and may be evaluated in future trials.
