Impact of ST-246® on ACAM2000™ smallpox vaccine reactogenicity, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy in immunodeficient mice.

Abstract：

:Although a highly effective vaccine against smallpox, vaccinia virus (VV) is not without adverse events, some of which can be life-threatening, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. We have recently demonstrated that the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of Dryvax(®) in immunocompetent mice is preserved even when co-administered with ST-246, an orally bioavailable small-molecule inhibitor of orthopoxvirus egress and dissemination. In addition, ST-246 markedly reduced the reactogenicity of the smallpox vaccine ACAM2000 and the highly neurovirulent VV strain Western Reserve (VV-WR). Here, we evaluated the impact of ST-246 co-administration on ACAM2000 reactogenicity, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy in seven murine models of varying degrees of humoral and cellular immunodeficiency: BALB/c and B-cell deficient (JH-KO) mice depleted of CD4(+) or CD8(+) or both subsets of T cells. We observed that ST-246 reduced vaccine lesion severity and time to complete resolution in all of the immunodeficient models examined, except in those lacking both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells. Although VV-specific humoral responses were moderately reduced by ST-246 treatment, cellular responses were generally comparable or slightly enhanced at both 1 and 6 months post-vaccination. Most importantly, in those models in which vaccination given alone conferred protection against lethal VV challenge, similar levels of protection were observed at both time points when vaccination was given with ST-246. These data suggest that, with the exception of individuals with irreversible, combined CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell deficiency, ST-246 co-administered at the time of vaccination may help reduce vaccine reactogenicity--even in those lacking humoral immunity--without impeding the induction of protective immunity.
