In the absence of truly effective and sustainable vector control measures, a dengue vaccine is urgently needed. While dengue vaccines have been under development since the 1940s, due to the limited appreciation of global dengue disease burden and of the potential markets for dengue vaccines, the industrys interest languished throughout much of the 20th century.. In recent years, however, the development of dengue vaccines has accelerated dramatically. Sanofi Pasteurs Dengvaxia® became the first dengue vaccine to be licensed for use in 2015. Today, several other vaccines are in various stages of advanced development, with clinical trials currently underway.. Vaccine development for dengue is particularly challenging because dengue fever is caused by any of four related, but distinct, virus serotypes (DENV-1-4). While infection by one virus provides lifelong immunity against that serotype, it provides only partial and transient immunity against the other three. This means that an effective ...
Costa Rica is 5th country in the world to approve the dengue vaccine, which was recently endorsed by the WHO SAGE recommendations supporting the safety, efficacy and public health value of the dengue vaccine in endemic countries -. - Vaccine needed to address precipitous rise of dengue in Costa Rica, with greater than 500% increase in incidence in 2016 already compared to last years numbers -. Costa Rica - 21st June, 2016 - Today Sanofi Pasteur, Sanofis vaccine division, announced that the National Ministry of Health of Costa Rica has approved Sanofi Pasteurs tetravalent dengue vaccine, Dengvaxia®, to protect individuals 9 to 45 years of age living in endemic areas against all four serotypes of dengue.. This approval in Costa Rica is the fourth registration of the dengue vaccine in Latin America, and the fifth in the world. Sanofi Pasteurs dengue vaccine has already been approved in Mexico, Brazil, El Salvador and the Philippines.. Dengue is a disease that is beginning to hit us hard as a ...
Dengue vaccine development has made significant strides, but a better understanding of how vaccine-induced immune responses correlate with vaccine efficacy can greatly accelerate development, testing, and deployment as well as ameliorate potential risks and safety concerns. Advances in basic immunology knowledge and techniques have already improved our understanding of cell-mediated immunity of natural dengue virus infection and vaccination. We conclude that the evidence base is adequate to argue for inclusion of assessments of cell-mediated immunity as part of clinical trials of dengue vaccines, although further research to identify useful correlates of protective immunity is needed.
The positive results from a clinical trial investigating the development of the first dengue vaccine was welcomed by the Dengue Vaccine Initiative.
Abstract. Recombinant live-attenuated chimeric tetravalent dengue vaccine viruses, TDV-1, -2, -3, and -4, contain the premembrane and envelope genes of dengue virus serotypes 1-4 in the replicative background of the attenuated dengue virus type-2 (DENV-2) PDK-53 vaccine strain. Previous results have shown that these recombinant vaccine viruses demonstrate limited infection and dissemination in Aedes aegypti and are unlikely to be transmitted by the primary mosquito vector of DENVs. In this report, we expand this analysis by assessing vector competence of all four serotypes of the TDV virus in Aedes albopictus, the secondary mosquito vector of DENVs. Our results indicate that these vaccine viruses demonstrate incompetence or defective infection and dissemination in these mosquitoes and will likely not be transmissible.
Takeda Presents 18-Month Data from Pivotal Phase 3 Trial of Dengue Vaccine Candidate at the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) 68th Annual Meeting
Press Release issued Oct 13, 2017: The first dengue vaccine, Dengvaxia (CYD-TDV) developed by Sanofi Pasteur is registered in 14 countries in the Latin America and Asia Pacific region. CYD-TDV vaccine is a live recombinant tetravalent dengue vaccine that is indicated as a 3 dose series of 0/6/12 month schedule. There are around five other vaccine candidates under evaluation in clinical trials, comprising other live-attenuated vaccines as well as subunit, DNA and purified inactivated vaccine candidates of which Takedas TAK-003 and Butantan Institute vaccine candidates are being evaluated in phase 3 clinical trials currently.
This study compared the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of three doses of a tetravalent dengue vaccine versus one dose of a typhoid vaccine Vi-polysaccharide
The NEJM article reported results from a new pooled efficacy analysis of individuals 9 years of age and older at vaccination from the two Phase III studies of Sanofi Pasteurs dengue vaccine. The new analysis documented that the vaccine protects two-thirds of these individuals (66%) against dengue, providing even greater protection against two clinically relevant manifestations of dengue, namely severe dengue (93%) and prevention of hospitalizations due to dengue (80%) that account for the greatest human and economic burden of dengue in endemic countries. In addition, the dengue vaccine candidate protected volunteers 9 years of age and older who were previously exposed to dengue (82%), as well as those who were naïve to dengue (52.5%) prior to vaccination ...

The main target populations for the tetravalent live attenuated dengue virus vaccine are indigenous populations, especially infants less than 2 years old, residing in areas of the world endemic for dengue and at risk of developing dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). The presence of maternal dengue antibody during the first year of life makes it unlikely that a vaccine given during that time will have long-term efficacy, as the vaccine virus would likely be neutralized prior to necessary replication. Children older than 18 months may have preexisting flavivirus antibody. Therefore, vaccination of infants living in Thailand early in the second year of life (between the ages of 12 and 18 months) seems most beneficial. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a two-dose schedule of a tetravalent live attenuated dengue vaccine in flavivirus antibody naïve infants beginning at 12-15 months of age.. ...
The joint effort by sun pharma and International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) to develop dengue vaccine has been initiated after they both signed an agreement to develop a herbal dengue drug in May 2016.
Dengue is a mosquito-borne flavivirus disease found mostly in tropical and some subtropical areas. It is caused by four related viruses. To date, there is no specific treatment for the disease and prevention is limited to vector control measures.. The quest for a dengue vaccine has been ongoing since 1929 but because of incomplete knowledge about the disease and the complication of targeting all four dengue serotypes, development of an effective vaccine has proven to be quite difficult.. Although you can get vaccinated from other diseases in our New York travel medicine clinic, there is no licensed vaccine available for dengue yet. It is believed that a vaccine would play a major role in controlling this disease and could help the World Health Organization achieve its goal of reducing dengue morbidity by at least 20 percent and mortality by 50 percent by 2020.. However, there are some vaccine candidates that are currently under development. Sanofi Pasteur is developing a live attenuated ...

For the study, Prof. Simmons and colleagues studied 145 anti-dengue antibodies from patients infected with dengue virus. They found a new class of antibody that can recognize and bind to a unique structure - known as an epitope - that is present in all four types of dengue virus.. The authors describe the previously unknown epitope as an envelope dimer epitope (EDE) that bridges two envelope protein subunits that make up the 90 repeating dimers on the mature virion.. The antibodies to the epitope were broadly reactive across the dengue serotypes and fully neutralized virus produced in either insect cells or primary human cells, they note.. The findings should clear the way for vaccine trials in which the induction of antibody to the EDE should be prioritized, they conclude.. In July 2014, Medical News Today reported promising results of the first dengue vaccine widely tested in humans. Reported in The Lancet, the phase 3 clinical trial showed that while efficacy varies across the four ...
SINGAPORE - Dengvaxia, a dengue vaccine available here since March, could prove detrimental to people who have never been infected by dengue. Sanofi, which produces the vaccine, sent out an alert saying: For those not previously infected by dengue virus, the analysis found that in the longer term, more cases of severe disease could occur following vaccination upon a subsequent dengue infection. The French pharmaceutical giant said it will ask the health authorities in countries where it has been approved for use, such as in Singapore, to update their information on the vaccine. A spokesman for the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) said on Thursday (Nov 30) that it is working with Sanofi Pasteur to strengthen the package insert to include the warning of an increased risk of hospitalisation for dengue and clinically severe dengue in vaccinated individuals not previously in...

Three tetravalent formulations of chimeric dengue (DENVax) viruses containing the pre-membrane and envelope genes of serotypes 1-4 expressed by the attenuated DENV-2 PDK-53 genome were tested for safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy in cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis). Subcutaneous injection of the DENVax formulations was well-tolerated. Low levels of viremia of only one of the four vaccine viruses were detected yet virus neutralizing antibody titers were induced against all four dengue virus serotypes after one or two administrations of vaccine. All animals immunized with the high-dose formulation were protected from viremia, and all immunized animals were completely protected from DENV-3 and DENV-4 challenge. A lower dose of DENVax formulation partially protected animals from DENV-1 or DENV-2 challenge. In contrast, all control animals developed high levels of viremia for multiple days after challenge with DENV 1-4. This study highlights the immunogenicity and efficacy of the ...

Dengue fever now poses a bigger global threat than ever before. The main mosquito that carries the virus has spread throughout countries with tropical climates and has reappeared in the U.S. and Europe too. And as it stands, health authorities are powerless to protect people.. When Sanofi ($SNY) began developing a dengue fever vaccine 20 years ago, the virus was still a relatively minor threat. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported 295,000 cases a year, on average, in the 1980s. By the 21st century, the figure had soared to almost 970,000 cases a year. Sanofi is now nearing the end of development and--despite reporting disappointing results in September--is already preparing its production plant for an anticipated commercial launch in 2015.. The early start to manufacturing reflects the time lag involved in making a dengue fever vaccine. Production time is rather long, it takes two years to produce this vaccine. It was decided in 2009 to gain time to be ready to launch it in the market ...
Sanofi Pasteur, the manufacturer of Dengvaxia, earlier said in a statement that [t]he analysis confirmed that Dengvaxia provides persistent protective benefit against dengue fever in those who had prior infection..

Worst-case scenario. The DoH said on Saturday it was prepared for a worst-case scenario.. Undersecretary Eric Tayag said the department had already taken precautions against potential mishaps when it became the first country to use the landmark vaccine in 2016.. More than 733,000 children have already received Dengvaxia, raising fears that many could develop the harsher form of the disease.. The Department of Health is prepared for a worst-case scenario, Tayag told ABS-CBN television, a day after the agency announced it was suspending its mass vaccination ...

It is also shown to prevent 8 cases of hospitalisations out of every 10 cases and 93% of hemorrhagic dengue.. ...
September 18, 2015. A new study is reshaping how scientists look at and understand a deadly virus.. An international consortium of scientists, including researchers from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, worked to map out the antigenic differences in various strains of dengue virus.. Previously, scientists have described four distinct antigenic variants or serotypes. But in a paper published Friday in Science, researchers reported that while the viruses clustered around the four genetically distinct types, antigenically, or the way a bodys immune system recognizes and responds to the virus, there was overlap among the four dengue types not previously described.. While several dengue vaccine candidates are under development, there are currently no licensed vaccines against dengue virus, which infects up to 390 million people a year with about 500,000 patients experiencing potentially life-threatening complications. But even as work continues on a vaccine, scientists are ...

Some of my classmates, for fear of the needles, jumped from the windows and ran away from our classrooms. So to take away our fears, our teacher had to explain to us the good purpose of vaccination and told us to convince our classmates who ran away to go back to the classroom and receive the vaccination.. I could not imagine how happy the parents of public school students being given a free vaccination from the government. I know very well the financial situation of the parents of public school students. It has been engraved in our minds that the purpose of vaccination is to immunize and free us from an illness.. Presently, the irony has happened. At first, I likewise believed how glad the parents of more than 700 thousand public school students, almost 160 thousand of them are from Cebu, were vaccinated with Dengvaxia. It is public knowledge that dengue, a sickness from a dangerous kind of mosquito, claimed many lives already.. It is however inevitable that the feelings of gladness by those ...

As part of a larger vaccine study, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were collected from volunteers for analysis of vaccine- induced T cell responses. The PBMC were re-stimulated in vitro with live dengue virus and assayed for Th1 or Th2 memory cell responses. Re-stimulated PBMC from the volunteers predominantly secreted interferon-γ. Little interleukin-4 (IL-4) or IL-10 secretion was detected, indicating a Th1 type of T cell response. The interferon-γ response was primarily serotype-specific with some serotype cross-reactivity. T cell depletion studies showed that the interferon-γ was being secreted by CD4+ T lymphocytes and/or by cells other than CD8+ T lymphocytes that were being stimulated by the CD4+ T lymphocytes. CD3+ or CD8+ T cell depletion showed that granzyme B mRNA expression correlated with the presence of CD4+ T lymphocytes. However, depletion of CD4+ T cells after four days of stimulation indicated that the granzyme B mRNA was produced by cells in culture other than lymphocytes
The Philippines decided to suspend its dengue immunization program because the used vaccine poses health risks in people who were not previously infected.. The decision comes after the announcement of the French pharmaceutical manufacturer Sanofi (link) that its vaccine, Dengvaxia, is efficient only if the subject had previously had been infected. Otherwise, more cases of severe disease could occur.. These findings highlight the complex nature of dengue infection. We are working with health authorities to ensure that prescribers, vaccinators and patients are fully informed of the new findings, with the goal of enhancing the impact of Dengvaxia in dengue-endemic countries, said Dr. Su-Peing Ng, Global Medical Head, Sanofi Pasteur..

Stefan did his PhD in mathematical modelling of infectious diseases with Strathclyde University and Public Health England. Ever since, he has been fascinated by the complexities and challenges of pneumococcal vaccination. Despite the success of pneumococcal vaccines in substantially reducing the pneumococcal disease burden worldwide, serotype replacement has mitigated potentially larger impact. He works with local and international collaborators to help better understand how to use existing pneumococcal vaccine more efficiently (i.e. reducing cost and maximising impact) and to help designing optimal future vaccine formulations. As of 2018, his research in this area is funded through a Sir Henry Dale Wellcome Trust Fellowship. He has also been following related interests, in particular for outbreak response (flu and ebola) and vaccine impact predictions (dengue and malaria). He currently serves on the WHO SAGE working groups on pneumococcal conjugate vaccines and on dengue vaccine.. ...
