14 High-Interest Pre-clinical Candidate: CMV-Vectored TB (Louis Picker, OHSU) Live, attenuated, persistent CMV vector Also used for HIV vaccine development (IAVI) Unique characteristics Stimulates tissue effector memory UL deletion stimulates MHC IIrestricted CD8+ T-cell responses Encouraging results in Rhesus macaque Mtb challenge studies Will need to address regulatory hurdles re: safety of live, persistent CMV 14

15 Non Human primates Donor Unrestricted T cells Aerosol and mucosal vaccination Whole Cell Vaccines B-cells and antibodies Conventional T-cells Funders Community

16 TB Vaccine R&D: Challenges Mono-focus on CD4+ T-cell responses; lack of immunological diversity Lack of immune correlate of protection Lack of a reliable, reproducible functional assay Lack of a human challenge model Human challenge consortium formed (Harvard, AECOM, Imperial College, Cornell, Rutgers, Aeras) Key issues Develop safe challenge strains (auxotrophs; genetic kill switches) Develop reporter methodology (blood-borne substrates; volatile aromatics) Achieve regulatory guidance/approval 16

17 TB Vaccine R&D: Challenges Poor predictive power and lack of standardized animal models that reliably predict human clinical outcomes Lack of funding* HIV vaccine funding, 2014: $841 million Malaria vaccine funding, 2014: ~$170 million Total TB vaccine funding, : ~$600 million *From Vaccines and Alternative Approaches: Reducing our Dependence on Antimicrobials. Review on Antimicrobial Resistance, Jim O Neill, Chair. February

18 TB Vaccine R&D: Controversies Resource allocation balance: experimental vs. vaccine product development Role of small animal models (mice, guinea pig, rabbit) in vaccine candidate evaluation Target patient population Infant-targeted vaccine (BCG replacement) Adolescent/adult targeted vaccine (prevention of infection and/or disease; reduce transmission) Choice of endpoint/indication Prevention of established Mtb infection (feasible/licensable?) Prevention of TB disease (IGRA- s vs. IGRA+ s) Prevention of recurrent disease (many variables; too high a bar?) Infant BCG vaccination effect of prior sensitization to vaccine development Effect of co-factors (e.g., DM, NTM exposure) on vaccine response 18
