背景:微针贴片(MNPs)已被列为克服低收入和中等收入国家免疫障碍的全球最高优先创新。该试验旨在提供有关耐受性的第一个数据,安全,儿童麻疹和风疹疫苗(MRV)-MNP的免疫原性。
方法:这种单中心,相位1/2,双盲,双假人,随机化,主动控制,年龄降级试验在冈比亚进行.有资格,所有参与者都必须按照预定标准健康,18-40岁的成人队列,幼儿15-18个月,或9-10个月的婴儿,并可在整个后续期间进行访问。三个年龄组以2:1的比例(成人)或1:1的比例(幼儿和婴儿)随机分配,以接受MRV-MNP(美光生物医学,亚特兰大,GA,美国)和安慰剂(0·9%氯化钠)皮下注射,或安慰剂-MNP和MRV皮下注射(MRV-SC;印度血清研究所,浦那,印度)。未蒙面的工作人员使用在线应用程序向参与者进行了勒索,他们准备了视觉上相同的MRV-MNP或安慰剂-MNP和MRV-SC或安慰剂-SC的制剂,但未参与收集终点数据.管理研究干预措施的工作人员,参与者,父母,和评估试验终点的研究人员掩盖了治疗分配.安全人群由所有接种疫苗的参与者组成,并根据MRV给药途径进行分析,与随后的方案偏差无关。免疫原性人群由所有接种疫苗的参与者组成,这些参与者具有基线和第42天的就诊结果,并且没有被认为对免疫原性终点有实质性影响的方案偏差。在接种后14天收集所引发的局部和全身不良事件。收集未经请求的不良事件至第180天。队列之间的年龄降级是基于独立数据监测委员会对第14天的安全性数据的审查。在基线时测量麻疹和风疹的血清中和抗体,第42天和第180天。分析是描述性的,包括安全事件,血清保护和血清转化率,和几何平均抗体浓度。该试验已在泛非临床试验注册中心PACTR202008836432905注册,并已完成。
结果:招募时间为2021年5月18日至2022年5月27日。45名成人,120个幼儿,和120名婴儿被随机分配并接种疫苗。在成人或幼儿接种疫苗后的前14天内,没有安全隐患,年龄降级相应进行。在婴儿中,93%(52/56;95%CI83·0-97·2)血清转化为麻疹,100%(58/58;93·8-100)在MRV-MNP施用后血清转化为风疹,而90%(52/58;79·2-95·2)和100%(59/59;93·9-100)分别血清转化为麻疹和风疹,以下MRV-SC。MRV-MNP应用部位的持续时间是60名幼儿中的46名(77%)和60名婴儿中的39名(65%)最常见的局部反应。相关的未经请求的不良事件,最常见的是在应用现场变色,在接受MRV-MNP的60名幼儿中的35名(58%)和60名婴儿中的57名(95%)中报告。所有局部反应均为轻度。没有相关的严重或严重不良事件。
结论:安全性和免疫原性数据支持MRV-MNP的加速发展。

BACKGROUND: Microneedle patches (MNPs) have been ranked as the highest global priority innovation for overcoming immunisation barriers in low-income and middle-income countries. This trial aimed to provide the first data on the tolerability, safety, and immunogenicity of a measles and
rubella vaccine (MRV)-MNP in children.
METHODS: This single-centre, phase 1/2, double-blind, double-dummy, randomised, active-controlled, age de-escalation trial was conducted in The Gambia. To be eligible, all participants had to be healthy according to prespecified criteria, aged 18-40 years for the adult cohort, 15-18 months for toddlers, or 9-10 months for infants, and to be available for visits throughout the follow-up period. The three age cohorts were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio (adults) or 1:1 ratio (toddlers and infants) to receive either an MRV-MNP (Micron Biomedical, Atlanta, GA, USA) and a placebo (0·9% sodium chloride) subcutaneous injection, or a placebo-MNP and an MRV subcutaneous injection (MRV-SC; Serum Institute of India, Pune, India). Unmasked staff ransomly assigned the participants using an online application, and they prepared visually identical preparations of the MRV-MNP or placebo-MNP and MRV-SC or placebo-SC, but were not involved in collecting endpoint data. Staff administering the study interventions, participants, parents, and study staff assessing trial endpoints were masked to treatment allocation. The safety population consists of all vaccinated participants, and analysis was conducted according to route of MRV administration, irrespective of subsequent protocol deviations. The immunogenicity population consisted of all vaccinated participants who had a baseline and day 42 visit result available, and who had no protocol deviations considered to substantially affect the immunogenicity endpoints. Solicited local and systemic adverse events were collected for 14 days following vaccination. Unsolicited adverse events were collected to day 180. Age de-escalation between cohorts was based on the review of the safety data to day 14 by an independent data monitoring committee. Serum neutralising antibodies to measles and
rubella were measured at baseline, day 42, and day 180. Analysis was descriptive and included safety events, seroprotection and seroconversion rates, and geometric mean antibody concentrations. The trial was registered with the Pan African Clinical Trials Registry PACTR202008836432905, and is complete.
RESULTS: Recruitment took place between May 18, 2021, and May 27, 2022. 45 adults, 120 toddlers, and 120 infants were randomly allocated and vaccinated. There were no safety concerns in the first 14 days following vaccination in either adults or toddlers, and age de-escalation proceeded accordingly. In infants, 93% (52/56; 95% CI 83·0-97·2) seroconverted to measles and 100% (58/58; 93·8-100) seroconverted to
rubella following MRV-MNP administration, while 90% (52/58; 79·2-95·2) and 100% (59/59; 93·9-100) seroconverted to measles and
rubella respectively, following MRV-SC. Induration at the MRV-MNP application site was the most frequent local reaction occurring in 46 (77%) of 60 toddlers and 39 (65%) of 60 infants. Related unsolicited adverse events, most commonly discolouration at the application site, were reported in 35 (58%) of 60 toddlers and 57 (95%) of 60 infants that had received the MRV-MNP. All local reactions were mild. There were no related severe or serious adverse events.
CONCLUSIONS: The safety and immunogenicity data support the accelerated development of the MRV-MNP.
