2 Global Impact of Enteric Disease Deaths in young children 2 Average of 2.2 million deaths per year worldwide Typhoid Cholera ETEC Rotavirus Shigella WHO, 2000

3 3 Viral Agents Causing Gastroenteritis Rotavirus Enteric Adenovirus Astrovirus Norwalk like particles Human Calicivirus

4 4 Morbidity and mortality from diarrhea have decreased worldwide, Burden of severe disease remains high In 2002, 1,055,393 cases of diarrhea 1/3 : children < 5 years of age 12% required hospitalization MOPH 2002

5 5 Rotavirus double-stranded RNA envelop : structural proteins : VP 7 glycoprotein (G) G1-4, 9 : VP4 protease-cleaved hemagglutinin (P) Natural infection : first - protection 40% : second - protection 75%

6 6 The Virus- Classification Rotavirus has 7 major groups (A-G). Only groups A-C infect humans 1 Group A responsible for majority of childhood infections 1 Group B has been associated with extensive epidemics of diarrhoea illnesses in adults in China and Bangladesh 2,3 1Linhares and Breese, Pan Am J Public Health (5) ; 2J Clin Microbiol , ;3J Med Virol

23 Need for Vaccination 23 State of the World s Vaccines & Immunization WHO, 2003

24 *Velazquez FR, Matson DO et al NEJM 335: Rationale for Vaccination 24 Natural infection leads to protection Large disease burden makes effective prevention a high global health priority Remains a problem despite improvement in sanitation & hygiene Bresee J, Glass R et al. Rotavirus in The Vaccine Book Bloom B, Lambert PH. 2003

25 25 Rationale for Vaccination Impact study in USA estimated a nationwide vaccination program would prevent : 95,000 / 160,000 emergency room visits : 33,600 / 50,000 hospitalizations : / deaths annually

26 Burden estimation of Thailand, 2002 p 1 : % of rotavirus positive of hospitalized cases = % (838 / 1,950) n 1 : Number of hospitalized diarrhea cases = 131,360 : 50,418 of 506 report 38.38% coverage N : 0 to 5 years population = 5,005,904 Burden of rotavirus diarrhea = (p1 X n1) / N Burden of rotavirus diarrhea Hospitalize cases = (42.97% X 131,360) / 5,005,904 = per 1,000 population under 5

27 27 Economic Burden Diarrhea episodes approximate 1 episodes/child/yr Children underfive 5 million Diarrhea episodes + 5 million 50% rotavirus = 2.5 million episodes 12% admitted =300,000 cases 3 days hospitalization hospital charge + 2,500 b Country cost = 300,000 x 2,500 = 75 millions Bangkok alone = 22.5 millions

28 28 Rotavirus Vaccine Human strain vaccines Reassortant vaccines

31 31 RotaShield : Intussusception First rotavirus vaccine licensed in the US in 1998: Rhesus-based tetravalent human reassortant vaccine (RRV-TV) Govt funded national immunisation program Withdrawn in 1999 due to observed link with intussusception (IS) Striking temporal association Murphy et al, N Engl J Med Copyright 200x [2001] Massachusetts Medical Society.

38 38 Pentavalent Bovine - Human Reassortant Rotavirus Vaccine Efficacy against any RV diarrhoea % Efficacy against severe RV diarrhoea % Reactogenicity : not different to that of the placebo group Vesikari et al, ESPID, Tampere, 2004

39 39 RotaTeq (Merck) Efficacy and safety trial Conducting large scale safety and efficacy trial in 11 countries (mostly USA and Europe) >65,000 infants vaccinated to date Several cases of IS reported but believed that none in the window period after vaccination (3-14 days) Recruitment is completed (2004)

40 40 Rotarix (GSK) Attenuated human monovalent GI P1a[8] strain

41 41 Rotarix Mild reactogenic profiles : same incidence of solicited symptoms as in placebo group (fever, diarrhea, vomiting) : no increase with 2 nd dose : no increase when co-administered

42 42 Efficacy - conclusions Vaccine is effective against any and severe rotavirus gastroenteritis in the 1st and 2nd year of life Vaccine is effective against hospitalisation Vaccine is effective against G1 and non-g1 RV strains

43 43 Phase II-III ongoing studies with RIX4414 Total > 70,000 subjects enrolled in large safety and efficacy studies 2-dose vaccination schedule in infants to fit existing recommendations : 2-4; 3-4 months; , weeks; Co-administered AG s: DTPw, DTPa, HBV,Hib,IPV,OPV

44 No of infants with Intussusception Interval Between Vaccination And IS* Post dose one RotaShield** RotaRix/Placebo*** Post dose two Days * Comparison of IS cluster occurrence after vaccination RotaShield; Rotarix/Placebo. Denominators and background IS differ for both studies ** TV Murphy N Engl J Med 2001 *** Additional cases at 75, 83 and 227 days post dose 1 (post dose 2 at day 71, 86, 107,127, 128,139, 201,222, 329) and 15 days post dose 3

45 45 Rotarix that emerges from these trials is of a : well-tolerated, immunogenic & efficacious : widely effective in protecting against commonly prevalent rotavirus serotypes Rotarix TM was licensed in Mexico in July 2004 De Vos B et al Pediatr Infect Dis J Oct;23(10 Suppl):S

46 46 Conclusion Rotavirus Vaccines Search by many groups for vaccine since first trials in 1983 Two new efficacious vaccines nearing licensure Other credible vaccine candidates in development Global commitment to rotavirus vaccine development Need to evaluate the vaccines in developing world populations is well understood New public / private partnerships (GAVI, ADIP, RVP)

47 47 New vaccine Should we give vaccines to children? : Incidence : Severity : Safety : Feasibility : Acceptibility : Cost : Budget

48 48 Should we give RV vaccine to our children? Incidence high Severity less severe Safety waiting Feasibility oral Acceptibility good Cost expensive Budget depend
