ADJUVANT COMPRISING A POLYXYETHYLENE ALKYL ETHER OR ESTER AND AT LEAST ONE
NONIONIC SURFACTANT
The present invention relates to a novel adjuvant system comprising a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether or ester surfactant in combination with at least one additional non-ionic surfactant. Preferably said additional non-ionic surfactant is an
Octoxynol. The present invention provides said novel adjuvants, vaccines comprising them, and methods of their manufacture and their formulation into vaccines. The use of the adjuvants or vaccines of the present invention in the prophylaxis or therapy of disease are also provided. A method to enhance an immune response in a host using the adjuvant and vaccines of the present invention is also provided. The adjuvants are particularly useful as a mucosal adjuvant, but are also effective systemically.
Apart from bypassing the requirement for painful injections and the associated negative affect on patient compliance because of “needle fear”, mucosal vaccination is attractive since it has been shown in animals that mucosal administration of antigens has a greater efficiency of inducing protective responses at mucosal surfaces, which is the route of entry of many pathogens. In addition, it has been ) suggested that mucosal vaccination, such as intranasal vaccination, may induce mucosal immunity not only in the nasal mucosa, but also in distant mucosal sites such as the genital mucosa (Mestecky, 1987, Journal of Clinical Immunology, 7, 265-276; McGhee and Kiyono, Infectious Agents and Disease, 1993, 2, 55-73).
Despite much research in the field, safe and effective mucosal adjuvants which are suitable for use in humans, remains to be identified. The present invention provides a solution to this problem.
Medical uses of certain non-ionic surfactants have been described. For example, intranasal administration of polyoxyethylene ethers and esters for the enhancement of insulin uptake in the nasal cavity has been described (Hirai er al. 1981,
International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 9, 165-172; Hirai er al. 1981, International
Journal of Pharmaceutics, 9, 173-184).
Polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers have been described as components in oil emulsion, or acrylic acid polymer adjuvants (JP 05 201877; US 3,919,411).
Other non-ionic surfactants have been utilised in vaccine formulations. For example, vaccine preparations comprising an admixture of either polyoxyethylene castor oil or caprylic/capric acid glycerides, with polyoxyethylene sorbitan monoesters, and an antigen, are capable of inducing systemic immune responses after topical administration to a mucosal membrane (WO 94/17827). This patent application discloses the combination of the non-ionic surfactant TWEEN20™ (polyoxyethylene sorbitan monoester) and Imwitor742™ (caprylic/capric acid glycerides), or a combination of TWEEN20™ and polyoxyethylene castor oil are able to enhance the systemic immune response following intranasal immunisation. Details of the effect of this formulation on the enhancement of the immune response towards intranasally administered antigens have also been described in the literature (Gizurarson et al. 1996. Vaccine Research, 5, 69-75; Aggerbeck et al. 1997, Vaccine, 15, 307-316;
Tebbey et al.,Viral Immunol 1999;12(1):41-5).
Non-ionic surfactants have also been formulated in such a way as to form non-ionic surfactant vesicles (commonly known as NISV, US 5,679,355). Such formulations ) 20 of non-ionic surfactants, often in the presence of cholesterol, form lipid-bilayer vesicles which entrapp antigen within the inner aqueous phase or within the bilayer itself.
International Patent application WO 96/36352 (US 5,653,987) describes a liquid - pharmaceutical agent comprising at least two absorption enhancers and water, primarily for oral insulin delivery, wherein the amount of each absorption enhancing agent is present in a concentration of from 1 to 10 % w/w of the total formulation.
Surfactants are commonly used in the formulation of oil emulsion adjuvants for systemic administration, and function to stabilise the oil droplets. For example, polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters (TWEEN™) and sorbitan fatty acid esters (SPAN™) are used to stabilise oil in water emulsions (EP 0 399 843 B, WO 95/17210).
The applicant presents here the surprising finding that polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers or esters, in combination with at least one additional non-ionic surfactant, together act as a potent adjuvants for vaccines. Advantageously, such compositions may be administered systemically, but are also potent in the induction of systemic immune responses when the vaccine compositions are administered mucosally. The immune responses induced by mucosal administration of vaccines of the present invention may be at least as high as those observed after a systemic injection of conventional vaccine.
The present invention provides safe and potent adjuvants which are easily manufactured, and comprise at least one polyoxyethylene alkyl ether or ester and at least one additional non-ionic surfactant. The surfactants employed in the invention may be in aqueous solution or may form suspensions of particulate structures such as vesicles or micelles. Preferably the surfactants are in the form of an aqueous solution or a micelle.
The polyoxyethylene ethers or esters which may be formulated in the vaccines and ” adjuvant of the present invention comprise molecules of general formula (I):
HO(CH,CH,0),-A-R ; wherein, n is 1-50, A is a bond or -C(O)-, R is C4, alkyl or Phenyl C, 4 alkyl.
Thus, one embodiment of the present invention consists of a vaccine formulation ~~ comprising a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether of general formula (Ij, Wherem nis — between 1 and 50, preferably 4-24, more preferably 6-12, and most preferably 9; the R component is C, 55, preferably C,-C,, alkyl and most preferably C,; alkyl. The concentration of the polyoxyethylene ethers should be in the range 0.1-20%, preferably from 0.1-10%, and most preferably in the range 0.1-1%. Suitable polyoxyethylene ethers are selected from the following group: polyoxyethylene-9- lauryl ether, polyoxyethylene-9-stearyl ether, polyoxyethylene-8-stearyl ether, polyoxyethylene-4-laury! ether, polyoxyethylene-35-lauryl ether, and polyoxyethylene-23-lauryl ether.
Most preferably, said polyoxyethylene alkyl ether is polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether (laureth 9). Alternative terms or names for polyoxyethylene lauryl ether are disclosed in the CAS registry. The CAS registry number of polyoxyethylene-9 lauryl ether is: 9002-92-0. Polyoxyethylene ethers such as polyoxyethylene lauryl ether are described in the Merck index (12" ed: entry 7717, Merck & Co. Inc.,
Whitehouse Station, N.J., USA; ISBN 0911910-12-3), where therapeutic uses are stated to include: topical anesthetic; anti-pruritic; and sclerosing agent activities. As a class, such polyoxyethylene ethers, or esters, are non-ionic surfactants. Laureth 9 is formed by reacting ethylene oxide with dodecyl alcohol, and has an average of nine ethylene oxide units. In the case that one such mixture of surfactants of formula (I) are used, it is intended in the context of the present invention that n = the average number of ethylene oxide units present in all of the surfactants in the mixture.
The ratio of the length of the polyoxyethylene section to the length of the alkyl chain in the surfactant (i.e. the ratio of n: alkyl chain length), affects the solubility of this ’ class of detergent in an aqueous medium. Thus, the adjuvants of the present invention may be in solution or may form particulate structures such as micelles or ’ 20 vesicles. As a solution, the adjuvants of the present invention safe, easily sterilisable by for example passing through a 0.22pm membrane, simple to administer, and may be manufactured in a simple fashion without the GMP and QC issues associated with the formation of uniform particulate structures. Some polyoxyethylene ethers, such as laureth 9, are capable of forming non-vesicular solutions. However, polyoxyethylene-8 palmitoyl ether (C;Ey) is capable of forming vesicles.
Accordingly, the use of vesicles of polyoxyethylene-8 palmitoyl ether in combination with at least one additional non-ionic surfactant, to form adjuvants of the present invention is specifically contemplated.
Preferably, the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether element present in the adjuvant combinations of the present invention has haemolytic activity. The haemolytic activity of a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether may be measured in vitro, with reference to the following assay, and is as expressed as the highest concentration of the detergent which fails to cause lysis of the red blood cells: 1. Fresh blood from guinea pigs is washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) 3 times in a desk-top centrifuge. After resuspension to the original volume the blood is further diluted 10 fold in PBS. 2. 50 pl of this blood suspension is added to 800 ul of PBS containing two-fold dilutions of detergent. 3. After 8 hours the haemolysis is assessed visually or by measuring the optical density of the supernatant. The presence of a red supernatant, which absorbs light at 570 nm indicates the presence of haemolysis. 4, The results are expressed as the concentration of the first detergent dilution at which hemolysis no longer occurs.

The vaccine preparations of the present invention may be used to protect or treat a mammal susceptible to, or suffering from disease, by means of administering said vaccine via a mucosal route, such as the oral/bucal/intestinal/vaginal/rectal or nasal : 30 route. Such administration may be in a droplet, spray, or dry powdered form.
Nebulised or aerosolised vaccine formulations also form part of this invention.
Enteric formulations such as gastro resistant capsules and granules for oral administration, suppositories for rectal or vaginal administration also form part of this invention. The present invention may also be used to enhance the immunogenicity of antigens applied to the skin (transdermal or transcutaneous delivery). In addition, the adjuvants of the present invention may be parentally delivered, for example intramuscular, or subcutaneous administration. When used for intranasal vaccination, the vaccines of the present invention are preferably haemolytic in nature.
Depending on the route of administration, a variety of administration devices may beused. For example, for intranasal administration a spray device such as the commercially available Accuspray™ (Becton Dickinson) may be used.
Preferred spray devices for intranasal use are devices for which the performance of the device is not dependent upon the pressure applied by the user. These devices are known as pressure threshold devices. Liquid is released from the nozzle only when a threshold pressure is attained. These devices make it easier to achieve a spray with a regular droplet size. Pressure threshold devices suitable for use with the present invention are known in the art and are described for example in WO 91/13281 and EP 311 863 B. Such devices are commercially available from
Pfeiffer GmbH.
Preferred intranasal devices produce droplets (measured using water as the liquid) in the range 1 to 200pm, preferably 10 to 120um. Below 10um there is a risk of inhalation, therefore it is desirable to have no more than about 5% of droplets below 10pm. Droplets above 120pm do not spread as well as smaller droplets, so it is desirable to have no more than about 5% of droplets exceeding 120um.
Bi-dose delivery is a further preferred feature of an intranasal delivery device for use with the vaccines according to the invention. Bi-dose devices contain two subdoses of a single vaccine dose, one sub-dose for administration to each nostril.

It is foreseen that compositions of the present invention will be used to formulate vaccines containing antigens derived from Borrelia sp.. For example, antigens may oo oo include nucleic acid, pathogen derived antigen or antigenic preparations, recombinantly produced protein or peptides, and chimeric fusion proteins. In particular the antigen is OspA. The OspA may be a full mature protein in a lipidated form virtue of the host cell (E.Coli) termed (Lipo-OspA) or a non-lipidated derivative. Such non-lipidated derivatives include the non-lipidated NS1-OspA fusion protein which has the first 81 N-terminal amino acids of the non-structural protein (NS1) of the influenza virus, and the complete OspA protein, and another,
MDP-OspA is a non-lipidated form of OspA carrying 3 additional N-terminal amino acids.
Vaccines of the present invention may be used for the prophylaxis or therapy of allergy.

Suitable cell substrates for growing the virus include for example dog kidney cells such as MDCK or cells from a clone of MDCK, MDCK-like cells, monkey kidney cells such as AGMK cells including Vero cells, or any other cell type suitable for the production of influenza virus for vaccine purposes. Suitable cell substrates include human cells e.g. MRC-5 cells. Suitable cell substrates are not limited to cell lines; for example primary cells such as chicken embryo fibroblasts are also included. The influenza virus antigen preparation may be produced by any of a number of commercially applicable processes, for example the split flu process described in patent no. DD 300 833. Commercially available split '20 influenza includes Fluarix™ which is sold by SmithKline Beecham, as such Fluarix in combination with the adjuvant of the present invention constitute a preferred vaccine of the present invention.
The influenza vaccine according to the invention is preferably a multivalent influenza vaccine comprising two or more strains of influenza. Most preferably it is a trivalent vaccine comprising three strains. Conventional influenza vaccine generally comprise three strains of influenza, two A strains and one B strain. However, monovalent vaccines, which may be useful for example in 2 pandemic situation, are not excluded from the invention. A monovalent, pandemic flu vaccine will most likely contain influenza antigen from a single A strain.
Accordingly a preferred vaccine formulation comprises egg or tissue culture influenza antigen, preferably split influenza antigen, a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether and at least one additional non-ionic surfactant, optionally comprising a bile salt or derivative of cholic acid. Preferred embodiments of this vaccine comprise split influenza virus antigen, polyoxyethylene-9 lauryl ether and TRITON-X 100™,
Optionally, this most preferred vaccine may further comprise a polyoxyethylene sorbitan ester, such as TWEEN80™, and/or sodium deoxycholate.
The amount of protein in each vaccine dose is selected as an amount which induces an immunoprotective response without significant, adverse side effects in typical vaccinees. Such amount will vary depending upon which specific immunogen is employed and how it is presented. Generally, it is expected that each dose will comprise 1-1000 pg of protein, preferably 1-500 pg, preferably 1-100pg, most preferably 1 to 50ug. An optimal amount for a particular vaccine can be ascertained by standard studies involving observation of appropriate immune responses in subjects. Following an initial vaccination, subjects may receive one or several booster immunisation adequately spaced.
In a preferred aspect of the present invention is when the adjuvant affect of the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether is enhanced synergistically by the additional non-ionic surfactant. In this regard, the synergy may be observed in the magnitude of the immune response from the combined adjuvant formulation being greater than the sum of the immune responses generated by each individual component when used ~~ alon;e. Alternatively, synergism may aiso be observed when low dosesof ~~ polyoxyethylene ether and additional non-ionic surfactant generate significant immune responses, even when one or each component may not generate significant or detectable immune responses when used alone.
One aspect of the present invention is adjuvant and vaccine formulations comprising a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether or ester and at least one additional non-ionic surfactant, wherein the antigen present in the vaccine is not entrapped within a non- ionic surfactant vesicle.
The vaccines of the present invention may also be administered via the oral route. In such cases the pharmaceutically acceptible excipient may also include alkaline buffers, or enteric capsules or microgranules. The vaccines of the present invention may also be administered by the vaginal route. In such cases, the pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may also include emulsifiers, polymers such as CARBOPOL®, and other known stablilisers of vaginal creams and suppositories. The vaccines of the present invention may also be administered by the rectal route. In such cases the excipients may also include waxes and polymers known in the art for forming rectal suppositories.

Hemagglutination Inhibition (FIAT) activity of Flu-specific serum Abs in monkeys
In order to eliminate the non-specific inhibitors of hemagglutination present in the primate sera, these (25 pl) are incubated overnight at 37°C with 100 pl calcium chlorure/borate/sodium borate mix solution containing 400 receptor destroying enzyme units per ml of V. cholerae neuraminidase (Boerhinger Mannheim). After addition of 75 pl sodium citrate 2.5%, sera are heated for 30 minutes at 56°C. A solution of 50 ul PBS is added to give a final serum dilution of 1/10". Then, 25 pl treated-sera are diluted in 25 pl PBS (serial 2-fold dilutions starting at 1/10) in 96 well
Greiner plates. BPL inactivated whole virus is added (25 pl / well) at a concentration of 4 Hemagglutination Units (i.e. at a dilution which is 4-fold lower than the last one provoking an agglutination of red blood cells) for 30 minutes at room temperature (RT) under agitation. Chicken red blood cells are then added (25 pl / well) for 1 hour at RT. Plates are finally kept overnight at 4°C before to be read. The HAI titer corresponds to the inverse of the last serum dilution inhibiting the virus-induced hemagglutination.

Example 2, Effect of Laureth 9 together with a combination of TWEENS0 and
TritonX100 on the immunogenicity of an intranasal influenza vaccine in primed
Rhesus monkeys
The priming was done in Rhesus monkeys by administering with a spray device (under anesthesia) in each nostril 25 pg HA per strain of B-propiolactone-inactivated
A/Beijing/262/95 and B/Harbin/7/94 influenza virus contained in 100 pl PBS. After 28 days, monkeys (4 or 5 animals/group) were boosted intranasally (under anesthesia) with 200 pl of solution (100 pl per nostril, delivered with a spray device) containing
30 ng HA/strain of BPL-inactivated A/Beijing/262/95 and B/Harbin/7/94 influenza virus in either A: polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether 0.5% (L9); B: polyoxyethylene-9- lauryl ether 0.5% + TWEENBS0 (0.11%) + triton-X-100 (0.074%); or by C: intramuscular injection of 15 ug HA/strain of an influenza vaccine containing the same strains as in A and B. Viral antigens were grown in eggs from seed stocks by the supplier (SSD GmBH, Dresden, Germany). HAI and Ig Ab responses were measured in sera as described in example 1. Results are expressed as percentages of animals having experienced a 4-fold Ab rise upon boosting.
Previous experience with 0.5% polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether has demonstrated that this formulation is potent in the induction of anti-influenza systemic immune responses. However, as shown in the table 1, this level of adjuvanticity is significantly improved by the addition of additional non-ionic surfactants. Thus when polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether is supplemented with TWEENSO0 and triton-X-100, this formulation is capable of boosting pre-established systemic Ig Ab responses as efficiently as the classical parenteral influenza vaccine.
The haemagluttination inhibition (HAI) response is was also measured (table 2), once again, the best intranasal formulation is Polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether supplemented with TWEENRSO and triton-X-100. This formulation was equally as immunogenic as the conventional parenteral vaccine.

Example 3: A comparison of the immunogenicity of an intranasal split influenza vaccine formulated with laureth 9 with TWEENSO0 and triton-X-100, with the immunogenicity of a licensed conventional parenteral vaccine (Fluarix™) in healthy adult subjects.
An intranasal formulation of egg-derived split influenza antigens, formulated with laureth 9 + TWEENSO and triton-X-100 (A) was evaluated and compared with
Fluarix™/o-Rix® (B). The formulations contained three inactivated split virion antigens prepared from the WHO recommended strains of the 1998/1999 season. The device used for administration of the vaccines was the Accuspray™ intranasal syringe . from Becton Dickinson. The device works on a similar basis to a conventional syringe, but has a special tip containing spiral channels which result in the production . of a spray when even pressure is exerted on the plunger. 100p1 of the formulation was sprayed in each nostril. ~...— .. Comnosition of the formulation a EE —
The intranasal formulation (A) contained the following inactivated split virions: 1. 30ug HA A/beijing/262/95 (HIN1) 2. 30ug HA A/Sydney/5/97 (H3N2) 3. 30ug HA of B/Harbin/7/94 and phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4% 0.1, TWEENS0 0.1%, Triton-X-100 0.015%, sodium deoxycholate 0.0045% and thiomersal below 35ug/ml.
The volume of one dose was 200ul (100u1 sub-doses for each nostril).
Formulation A was adjuvanted with laureth 9 to obtain a final concentration of 0.5% (wiv).
The comparator Fluarix™/a-Rix® (B) is SmithKlineBeecham Biologicals’ commercial inactivated trivalent split influenza vaccine, which is administered intramuscularly in a dose of 500ul.
Immunogenicity Study
An open, controlled and randomised study evaluated the immunogenicity of an intranasal split influenza vaccine formulated with laureth 9 supplemented with
TWEENBSO and triton-X-100 compared to the conventional parenteral vaccine (i.e.
Fluarix™). Twenty healthy adult subjects (aged 18-40 years) received one dose of
Fluarix™ and ten subjects received one dose (two sub-doses, one per nostril) of the intranasal influenza vaccine.
There was an eight-day follow-up period for solicited local and general symptoms and both vaccines were well-tolerated in relation to safety and reactogenicity. No serious
Co adverse events related to vaccination were reported. . 20 The immunogenicity of the vaccines was examined by assessing the serum haemagglutination inhibition (HI) titres to determine seroconversion rate (defined as the percentage of vaccinees who have at least a 4-fold increase in serum HI titres on day 21 compared to day 0, for each vaccine strain), conversion factor (defined as the fold increase in serum HI Geometric Mean Titres (GMTs) on day 21 compared to day 0, for each vaccine strain) and seroprotection rate (defined as the percentage of vaccinees with a serum HI titre 240 after vaccination (for each vaccine strain) that is accepted as indicating protection). In addition, the mucosal IgA antibody response was assessed by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).
HI seropositivity, serconversion and seroprotection rates twenty-one days after one dose of Fluarix™ or the intranasal formulation can be seen in Table 3.

The immunogenicity results tabulated above show that the intranasal formulation produced similar levels of seropositivity, seroconversion and seroprotection to the conventional parenteral vaccine (Fluarix™) twenty-one days after one dose. The intranasal formulation generally produced a better mucosal IgA response after one dose than the conventional parenteral vaccine (Fluarix™). ) Example 4, Effect of Laureth-9 together with Triton X100 on the immunogenicity of an intranasal tetanus toxoid vaccine in primed mice
In the present example, we evaluated the effect of adding Triton X100 to a low and sub-optimal dose of Laureth-9 on the intranasal boosting of tetanus toxoid (TT)- specific serum antibodies. Female balb/c mice were primed intra-muscularly with 20% (2x50 pl) of the human dose of the commercial DTPa vaccine (Diptheria,
Tetanus, acellular Pertussis vaccine: INFANRIX™ SmithKline Beecham, Belgium).
One month later the mice were boosted intranasally (5 pl in each nostril, under anesthesia) with 5 pg TT in A: PBS; B: 0.5% polyoxyethylene-9 lauryl ether; C: 0.1% polyoxyethylene-9 lauryl ether; D: 0.1% polyoxyethylene-9 lauryl ether + 0.02%
Triton X100 or; E: by intramuscular injection of the DTPa vaccine (2x50 ul). Two weeks after the boosting the sera were analyzed for their TT-specific IgG.
As shown in the figure 1, Laureth-9 low dose (0.1%) was ineffective in enhancing the boosting response to TT, contrary to the 0.5% dose.
However, the adjuvanticity of that formulation was strongly improved by supplementing it with Triton X100
(p<0.0001). The antibody response elicited was similar to the one induced by the commercial DTPa vaccine. _27-
