1 TUBERCULOSISVACCINECANDIDATES 2010 StopTBPartnershipWorkingGrouponNewTBVaccines According to the Global Plan to Stop TB, , Encouraging and consistent scientific results from the laboratory and from early field trials indicate that the introduction of new, effective TB vaccines will be an essential component of any strategy to eliminate tuberculosis (TB) by New TB vaccines to prevent childhood and adult forms of tuberculosis, to reduce tuberculosis in persons co-infected with HIV, and to shorten drug treatment regimens will fundamentally alter our approach to TB control. A number of the new generation of TB vaccines may work best using a heterologous prime-boost strategy to complement the immune response induced by the current BCG. This prime-boost strategy could include administration of BCG or a new recombinant live replacement vaccine as the prime, followed by a booster inoculation with a different vaccine to infants and young children before they are exposed to TB (preexposure), as a separate booster to young adults, either before they are exposed or who may have already been exposed to TB (post-infection) or as an adjunct to chemotherapy (immunotherapy). TB vaccines under development could work in several ways: Prevent infection Prevent primary disease Prevent latent infection Prevent reactivation of latent infection Shorten the course and improve the response to chemotherapy TuberculosisVaccinePipeline2010 1

2 In the following table, tuberculosis vaccine candidates are presented in three categories: Candidates Tested in Clinical Trials (Section I): TB vaccine candidates that are in clinical studies in Certain candidates that have been in clinical studies but are not currently in clinical trials are listed as completed. Candidates in Preclinical Studies & GMP-2010 (Section II): TB vaccine candidates that as of 2010 are not yet in clinical trials, but have been manufactured under good manufacturing practice (GMP) for clinical use and have undergone some preclinical testing that meets regulatory standards. Next Generation Candidates-2010 (Section III): TB vaccine candidates that are in the research and development stage with some preclinical testing performed to show that they may confer protection. Vaccine candidates are further divided into specific Vaccine Types: Recombinant Live; Viral Vectored; Recombinant Protein or Other and a brief description is provided. The Table lists vaccines intended to be used as a Prime ( ) or Booster ( ) vaccine, as a Post-infection vaccine ( ) or in immunotherapy ( ). The information contained here was provided and updated by the vaccine developers unless otherwise indicated. In cases where an update regarding a previously listed vaccine candidate was not received in 2010, the 2009 listing was retained. TuberculosisVaccinePipeline2010 2
