Safety and immunogenicity of live, attenuated intranasal Bordetella pertussis vaccine (BPZE1) in healthy adults.
BPZE1 is a live, attenuated pertussis vaccine derived from B. pertussis strain Tohama I modified by genetic removal or inactivation of 3 B. pertussis toxins: pertussis toxin, dermonecrotic toxin, and tracheal cytotoxin. This Phase 2a study evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of liquid or lyophilized BPZE1 vaccine administered intranasally by needleless tuberculin syringe or mucosal atomization device (VaxINatorTM) at two dose levels.
Fifty healthy male and non-pregnant female participants 18-49 years of age were enrolled. Participants were randomized 3:3:3:1 to a single lyophilized dose of 107 colony forming units (CFU) BPZE1, 109 CFU BPZE1, placebo via VaxINator device, or a single liquid dose of 109 CFU BPZE1 via tuberculin syringe. Reactogenicity was assessed for 14 days. Blood was obtained pre-vaccination; on Day 8 (safety); and on Days 15, 29, and 181 (immunogenicity). Nasal wick and swab samples were obtained at baseline and on Days 29 and 181 for assessment of mucosal antibody responses and clearance of BPZE1.
Across all groups, 35/50 (70 %) experienced at least one local adverse event (AE) and 31/50 (62 %) experienced at least one systemic AE, with similar AE frequencies observed between the highest 109 CFU BPZE1 and placebo groups. There were no severe or serious AEs during the study. At Day 29, seroconversion (≥2-fold rise from baseline in serum IgG or IgA) to at least 2 pertussis antigens was observed in 73 % in the 109 CFU BPZE1 VaxINator group, 60 % in the 109 CFU BPZE1 group delivered via tuberculin syringe, 27 % of participants in the 107 CFU BPZE1 VaxINator group, and 20 % in the placebo VaxINator group. No participants were colonized with BPZE1 at Day 29 post vaccination.
Lyophilized BPZE1 vaccine was well tolerated and immunogenic at the highest dose (109 CFU) delivered intranasally by VaxINator device and was not associated with any SAEs or prolonged shedding of BPZE1. Further evaluation of BPZE1 is warranted.

Safety and immunogenicity of the live attenuated intranasal pertussis vaccine BPZE1: a phase 1b, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled dose-escalation study.
Long-term protection and herd immunity induced by existing pertussis vaccines are imperfect, and a need therefore exists to develop new pertussis vaccines. This study aimed to investigate the safety, colonisation, and immunogenicity of the new, live attenuated pertussis vaccine, BPZE1, when given intranasally.
This phase 1b, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study was done at the phase 1 unit, Karolinska Trial Alliance, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden. Healthy adults (18-32 years) were screened and included sequentially into three groups of increasing BPZE1 dose strength (107 colony-forming units [CFU], 108 CFU, and 109 CFU), and were randomly assigned (3:1 within each group) to receive vaccine or placebo. Vaccine and placebo were administered in phosphate-buffered saline contained 5% saccharose as 0·4 mL in each nostril. The primary outcome was solicited and unsolicited adverse events between day 0 and day 28. The analysis included all randomised participants who received a vaccine dose. Colonisation with BPZE1 was determined by repeatedly culturing nasopharyngeal aspirates at day 4, day 7, day 11, day 14, day 21, and day 28 after vaccination. Immunogenicity, as serum IgG and IgA responses were assessed at day 0, day 7, day 14, day 21, day 28, 6 months, and 12 months after vaccination. This trial is registered at Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT02453048.
Between Sept 1, 2015, and Feb 3, 2016, 120 participants were assessed for eligibility, 48 of whom were enrolled and randomly assigned (3:1) to receive vaccine or placebo, with 12 participants each in a low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose vaccine group. Adverse events between day 0 and day 28 were reported by one (8%, 95% CI 0-39) of 12 participants in both the placebo and low-dose groups, and two (17%; 2-48) of 12 participants in both the medium-dose and high-dose groups, including cough of grade 2 or more, oropharyngeal pain, and rhinorrhoea and nasal congestion. During this time, none of the participants experienced any spasmodic cough, difficulties in breathing, or adverse events following immunisation concerning vital signs. The tested doses of BPZE1 or placebo were well tolerated, with no apparent difference in solicited or unsolicited adverse events following immunisation between groups. Colonisation at least once after vaccination was observed in 29 (81%; 68-93) of 36 vaccinated participants. The tested vaccine doses were immunogenic, with increases in serum IgG and IgA titres against the four B pertussis antigens from baseline to 12 months.
The tested vaccine was safe, induced a high colonisation rate in an adult population, and was immunogenic at all doses. These findings justify further clinical development of BPZE1 to ultimately be used as a priming vaccine for neonates or a booster vaccine for adolescents and adults, or both.

Immunogenicity and safety of BPZE1, an intranasal live attenuated pertussis vaccine, versus tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccine: a randomised, double-blind, phase 2b trial.
Bordetella pertussis epidemics persist as transmission remains unabated despite high acellular pertussis vaccination rates. BPZE1, a live attenuated intranasal pertussis vaccine, was designed to prevent B pertussis infection and disease. We aimed to assess the immunogenicity and safety of BPZE1 compared with the tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap).
In this double-blind, phase 2b trial at three research centres in the USA, healthy adults aged 18-50 years were randomly assigned (2:2:1:1) via a permuted block randomisation schedule to receive BPZE1 vaccination followed by BPZE1 attenuated challenge, BPZE1 vaccination followed by placebo challenge, Tdap followed by BPZE1 attenuated challenge, or Tdap followed by placebo challenge. On day 1, lyophilised BPZE1 was reconstituted with sterile water and given intranasally (0·4 mL delivered to each nostril), whereas Tdap was given intramuscularly. To maintain masking, participants in the BPZE1 groups received an intramuscular saline injection, and those in the Tdap groups received intranasal lyophilised placebo buffer. The attenuated challenge took place on day 85. The primary immunogenicity endpoint was the proportion of participants achieving nasal secretory IgA seroconversion against at least one B pertussis antigen on day 29 or day 113. Reactogenicity was assessed up to 7 days after vaccination and challenge, and adverse events were recorded for 28 days after vaccination and challenge. Serious adverse events were monitored throughout the study. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03942406.
Between June 17 and Oct 3, 2019, 458 participants were screened and 280 were randomly assigned to the main cohort: 92 to the BPZE1-BPZE1 group, 92 to the BPZE1-placebo group, 46 to the Tdap-BPZE1 group, and 50 to the Tdap-placebo group. Seroconversion of at least one B pertussis-specific nasal secretory IgA was recorded in 79 (94% [95% CI 87-98]) of 84 participants in the BPZE1-BPZE1 group, 89 (95% [88-98]) of 94 in the BPZE1-placebo group, 38 (90% [77-97]) of 42 in the Tdap-BPZE1 group, and 42 (93% [82-99]) of 45 in the Tdap-placebo group. BPZE1 induced broad and consistent B pertussis-specific mucosal secretory IgA responses, whereas Tdap did not induce consistent mucosal secretory IgA responses. Both vaccines were well tolerated, with mild reactogenicity and no serious adverse events related to study vaccination.
BPZE1 induced nasal mucosal immunity and produced functional serum responses. BPZE1 has the potential to avert B pertussis infections, which ultimately could lead to reduced transmission and diminished epidemic cycles. These results should be confirmed in large phase 3 trials.

B-cell responses after intranasal vaccination with the novel attenuated Bordetella pertussis vaccine strain BPZE1 in a randomized phase I clinical trial.
Despite high vaccination coverage, pertussis is still a global concern in infant morbidity and mortality, and improved pertussis vaccines are needed. A live attenuated Bordetella pertussis strain, named BPZE1, was designed as an intranasal vaccine candidate and has recently been tested in man in a phase I clinical trial. Here, we report the evaluation of the B-cell responses after vaccination with BPZE1. Forty-eight healthy males with no previous pertussis-vaccination were randomized into one of three dose-escalating groups or into a placebo group. Plasma blast- and memory B-cell responses were evaluated by ELISpot against three different pertussis antigens: pertussis toxin, filamentous haemagglutinin and pertactin. Seven out of the 36 subjects who had received the vaccine were colonized by BPZE1, and significant increases in the memory B-cell response were detected against all three tested antigens in the culture-positive subjects between days 0 and 28 post-vaccination. The culture-positive subjects also mounted a significant increase in the filamentous haemagglutinin-specific plasma blast response between days 7 and 14 post-vaccination. No response could be detected in the culture-negatives or in the placebo group post-vaccination. These data show that BPZE1 is immunogenic in humans and is therefore a promising candidate for a novel pertussis vaccine. This trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01188512).
