Resumen en ingles
Necator americanus Ancylostoma Secreted Protein-2 (Na-ASP-2) is a leading larval-stage hookworm vaccine candidate. Recombinant Na-ASP-2 was expressed in Pichia pastoris and formulated with Alhydrogel (R). In a phase 1 trial, 36 healthy adults without history of hookworm infection were enrolled into 1 of 3 dose cohorts (n = 12 per cohort) and randomized to receive intramuscular injections of either Na-ASP-2 or saline placebo. Nine participants in the first, second and third cohorts were assigned to receive 10, 50 and 100 mu g of Na-ASP-2, respectively, on study days 0, 56 and 112, while 3 participants in each cohort received placebo. The most frequent adverse events were mild-to-moderate injection site reactions; in 8 participants these were delayed and occurred up to 10 days after immunization. No serious adverse events occurred. Anti-Na-ASP-2 IgG endpoint titers as determined by ELISA increased from baseline in all. vaccine groups and peaked 14 days after the third injection, with geometric mean titers of 1:7066, 1:7611 and 1:11,593 for the 10, 50 and 100 mu g doses, respectively, compared to <1: 100 for saline controls (p < 0.001). Antibody titers remained significantly elevated in all. vaccine groups until the end of the study, approximately 8 months after the third vaccination. In vitro stimulation of PBMCs collected from participants with Na-ASP-2 resulted in robust proliferative responses in those who received vaccine, which increased with successive immunizations and remained high in the 50 and 100[mu g dose groups through the end of the study. This first trial of a human hookworm vaccine demonstrates that the Na-ASP-2 vaccine is well-tolerated and induces a prolonged immune response in adults not exposed to hookworm, justifying further testing of this vaccine in an endemic area.
