BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Many vaccines are poorly immunogenic or elicit an insufficient immune response that may not provide adequate protection against a targeted infectious agent. Therefore, an adjuvant may be required in order to help generate an immune response with sufficient magnitude, quality and persistence necessary for vaccine use. An adjuvant may be used in an immunogenic composition comprising an antigen of interest to enhance the immune response against the antigen, decrease the amount of antigen necessary to provoke the desired immune response or decrease the number of injections needed in a clinical regimen to induce a durable immune response and provide protection from disease. Despite the success of adjuvants for certain compositions, there exists a need for additional adjuvants that are safe for use in vaccines and immunogenic compositions and effective at increasing the immune response against an antigen of interest.

Adjuvants [0350] Adjuvant-based approaches are being investigated to enhance vaccine immunogenicity and help address residual unmet medical need, particularly for populations with increased susceptibility to infectious disease (i.e., immunocompromised, elderly, or pediatric populations). [0351] For example, while invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) incidence has dramatically declined in both children and adults following the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, residual disease caused by persistent vaccine-type serotypes remains. Further, serotype- specific immune responses vary and the introduction of expanded valency PCVs has resulted in an overall decrease in serotype-specific immune responses. Adjuvant-based strategies to enhance immunogenicity of PCVs may increase vaccine efficacy for challenging serotypes, provide more durable immune responses, or allow for reduction in dosing schedule. [0352] Preclinical data indicates that a toll-like receptor 7/8 (TLR7/8) agonist can increase the immunogenicity of PCVs. [Dowling, D.J. et al.] have reported both accelerated and enhanced serotype specific antibody responses, including both binding antibody titers and functional opsonophagocytic killing, in neonatal and infant rhesus monkeys immunized with PCV13 plus the TLR7/8 agonist 3M-052 compared to PCV13 alone (PCV13 contains alum adjuvant). The addition of the TLR7/8 agonist to PCV13 also induced Th1-polarized CRM197-specific CD4 T cells and early life S. pneumonia antigen-specific B cells in infant rhesus monkeys and enhanced
25693 type II IFN and Th1 polarizing cytokine production after in vitro stimulation of human neonatal cord blood (Dowling, D.J. et al., JCI Insight 2017; 2(2) e91020).

General Methods of Making SNE Formulations [0358] Generally, SNEs may be formed, for example, by initially combining and mixing components together. Once mixed and blended, an aqueous buffer is added and mixed with initial compound components to form a blended emulsion mixture. In some embodiments, the blended emulsion components are first subjected to course homogenization followed by fine homogenization. Then, the resulting formulation is subjected to a final filtration step and stored at 4°C. The solution may include one or more compounds; one or more sorbitan based surfactants (e.g., PS-20; PS-80; SPAN-85); and one or more terpenes (e.g., squalene) at specific molar ratios. [0359] Alternatively, a process of preparing an SNE of the invention consists of 4 primary steps: 1) solution preparation of a component mixture including functional and non-functional ingredients and an aqueous buffer; 2) SNE formation by means of split stream mixing; 3) ultra- filtration; and 4) filtration. [0360] Generally, components are dissolved in ethanol before being sterile filtered to form a mixture. Several aqueous buffers are also prepared. The mixture and buffer streams are then combined using a T-tube or Y mixer and then, immediately after exit, are diluted and mixed with
25693 an aqueous buffer to form an SNE intermediate. An SNE intermediate is then subjected to ultra- filtration or dialysis to both concentrate the material as well as exchange the material against a suitable buffer to remove residual ethanol. After the diafiltration, there is a final concentration step performed in order to achieve a final target concentration. SNE bulk is then filtered with a sterilizing filter.

EXAMPLE 7 Preparation of Pneumococcal Polysaccharide-Carrier Protein Conjugates [0528] Polysaccharide(s) (as highlighted below and in the Tables and Examples) was dissolved, sized to a target molecular mass, chemically activated and buffer-exchanged by ultrafiltration. Activated polysaccharide and purified CRM197 (a carrier protein) were individually lyophilized and re-dissolved in DMSO. Re-dissolved polysaccharide and CRM197 solutions were then combined and conjugated as described below. The resulting conjugate was purified by ultrafiltration prior to a final 0.2-micron filtration. Several process parameters within each step, such as pH, temperature, concentration, and time were controlled to yield conjugates with desired attributes. Polysaccharide size reduction [0529] Purified pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide (otherwise termed “Ps”) powder was dissolved in water. With the exception of ST-19A, (serotype is otherwise termed “ST”) which is not sized reduced, dissolved polysaccharide was 0.45-micron filtered and either homogenized or acid hydrolyzed to reduce the molecular mass of the Ps. Target Ps size was achieved for homogenization by controlling the pressure and number of passes. Target Ps size was achieved for acid hydrolysis by controlling the temperature and time. Polysaccharide was then 0.2-micron

De-O-acetylation (ST-15B only) [0530] Size reduced ST-15B Ps solution was heated to 60°C and sodium bicarbonate pH 9.4 buffer was added to a final concentration of 50 mM. The batch was incubated at 60°C to release O-acetyl groups. Potassium phosphate pH 6 buffer was added to neutralize pH and the solution was cooled to ambient temperature. The solution was then concentrated and diafiltered against water using a 5 or 10 kDa NMWCO tangential flow ultrafiltration membrane. Deketalization (ST-4 only) [0531] Sized reduced ST-4 Ps solution was adjusted to 50°C and pH 4.1 with a sodium acetate buffer to partially deketalize the polysaccharide. The polysaccharide solution was then cooled to 22°C prior to activation. Polysaccharide oxidation [0532] The polysaccharide solution was adjusted to 22°C for all serotypes, except for ST-5, 7F and 19F, which were adjusted to 4°C. The solution was also adjusted to pH 4-5 with a sodium acetate buffer to minimize polysaccharide size reduction due to activation. Polysaccharide activation was initiated with the addition of a sodium metaperiodate solution. The amount of sodium metaperiodate added was controlled to achieve a target level of polysaccharide activation (moles aldehyde per mole of polysaccharide repeating unit). [0533] The activated product for all serotypes except ST-5 was diafiltered against 10 mM potassium phosphate, pH 6.4 followed by diafiltration against water using a 5 or 10 kDa NMWCO tangential flow ultrafiltration membrane. For ST-5, the activated product was diafiltered against 10 mM sodium acetate, pH 4.1 followed by diafiltration against water using a 5 kDa NMWCO tangential flow ultrafiltration membrane. Ultrafiltration was conducted at 2-8°C for all serotypes. Polysaccharide conjugation to CRM197 [0534] Purified CRM197, obtained through expression in Pseudomonas fluorescens as previously described (WO 2012/173876 A1), was diafiltered against 2 mM phosphate, pH 7.2 buffer using a 5 kDa NMWCO tangential flow ultrafiltration membrane and 0.2-micron filtered. Activated polysaccharides were formulated for lyophilization with water and sucrose. CRM197 was formulated for lyophilization at 6 mg Pr/mL (the CRM197 protein is otherwise referred to as “Pr”) with sucrose concentration of 1% w/v. Formulated Ps and CRM197 solutions were individually lyophilized. Lyophilized Ps and CRM197 materials were re-dissolved individually in equal volumes of DMSO. Additives such as salt were spiked into the Ps-DMSO for some
25693 serotypes. The polysaccharide and CRM197 solutions were blended to achieve a target polysaccharide concentration and polysaccharide to CRM197 mass ratio. The mass ratio was selected to control the polysaccharide to CRM197 ratio in the resulting conjugate. A reducing agent such as sodium cyanoborohydride was added for most serotypes and conjugation proceeded at 22°C. Final Reduction [0535] A reducing agent such as sodium borohydride was added following the conjugation reaction and incubated at 22°C for all serotypes. The batch was diluted into 150 mM sodium chloride, with approximately 0.025% (w/v) polysorbate 20, at approximately 4 ^C. Potassium phosphate buffer was then added to neutralize the pH. Some lots were concentrated and diafiltered at approximately 4 ^C against 150 mM sodium chloride, 25 mM potassium phosphate pH 7, using a 30 kDa NMWCO tangential flow ultrafiltration membrane. Final filtration and product storage [0536] Individual batches were then concentrated and diafiltered against 10 mM histidine in 150 mM sodium chloride, pH 7.0, with 0.015% (w/v) PS-20, at 4°C using a 300 kDa NMWCO tangential flow ultrafiltration membrane. Specifically, for ST-5, halfway through the diafiltration step, ST-5 conjugate was harvested and incubated with 50 mM sodium bicarbonate, pH 9.3 for 3 hours. The ST-5 solution was neutralized with 1.5 M potassium phosphate, pH 6.0 prior to completing diafiltration. [0537] The individual retentate batches were 0.2-micron filtered (with 0.5-micron prefilter) then diluted with additional 10 mM histidine in 150 mM sodium chloride, pH 7.0 with 0.015% (w/v) PS-20, dispensed into aliquots and frozen at ≤ −60°C. Serotype specific conjugate details can be found as previously described (WO2011/100151, WO2019/139692 and WO2020/131763). EXAMPLE 8 Formulation of Pneumococcal Conjugate Compositions [0538] Individual pneumococcal polysaccharide-carrier protein conjugates prepared utilizing different chemistries as described in Example 7 were used for the formulation of a 1- or 24-valent pneumococcal conjugate composition referred to as PCV1 or PCV24, respectively. [0539] The PCV1 formulation, to be added to the Compound A-1-SNE, Compound B-1-SNE or Compound D-1-SNE, contained serotype 6B conjugated using reductive amination as described in Examples, supra, and formulated in 20 mM L-Histidine pH 5.8, 150 mM NaCl and 0.1% (w/v) PS-20 for a final concentration of 0.4 µg/mL (w/v) pneumococcal polysaccharide
25693 (PnPs) in the vaccine. The PCV1 vaccine formulation, prepared with APA and serotype 6B conjugated using reductive amination in an aprotic (DMSO) solvent, as described in Example 7, was formulated in 20 mM L-Histidine pH 5.8, 150 mM NaCl and 0.2% (w/v) PS-20 and 250 μg (Al)/mL in the form of APA for a final concentration of 0.4 µg/mL (w/v) pneumococcal polysaccharide (PnPs) in the vaccine. [0540] The PCV24 formulation, to be added to Compound A-1-SNE for the IRM study, contained serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15A, de-O-Ac15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23B, 23F, 24F, 33F and 35B, all conjugated to CRM197 using reductive amination and formulated in 20 mM L-Histidine pH 5.8150 mM NaCl and 0.1% PS-20. Each polysaccharide-carrier protein conjugate was formulated at 0.8 µg/mL (w/v) pneumococcal polysaccharide (PnPs) for a final concentration of 19.2 µg/mL PnPs in the vaccine. [0541] The PCV24 formulation, either with or without APA for the IRM study, contained serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15A, de-O-Ac15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23B, 23F, 24F, 33F and 35B, all conjugated to CRM197 as described in Examples, supra using reductive amination and formulated in 20 mM L-Histidine pH 5.8150 mM NaCl and 0.2% PS-20 and 250 μg (Al)/mL in the form of APA (if needed). Each polysaccharide-carrier protein conjugate was formulated at 4.0 µg/mL (w/v) pneumococcal polysaccharide (PnPs) for a final concentration of 96 µg /mL PnPs in the vaccine. [0542] PCV20, which contains the following serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, 33F), all conjugated to CRM197, was purchased from Myonex. [0543] The PCV26 formulation, to be added to Compound B-1-SNE for the mouse study, contained serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15A, de-O-Ac15B, 16F, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23A, 23B, 23F, 24F, 33F and 35B, all conjugated to CRM197 using reductive amination and formulated in 20 mM L-Histidine pH 5.8150 mM NaCl and 0.1% PS- 20. Each polysaccharide-carrier protein conjugate was formulated at 0.8 µg/mL (w/v) pneumococcal polysaccharide (PnPs) for a final concentration of 19.2 µg/mL PnPs in the vaccine. [0544] To prepare the PCV formulations, the required volumes of monovalent bulk conjugates needed to obtain the indicated final concentration of (w/v) pneumococcal polysaccharide (also referred to as PnPs) were calculated based on the batch volume or mass and the bulk polysaccharide concentration.
25693 [0545] The formulation process consisted of a conjugate bulk blend preparation at 2X the final concentration of PnPs blends in 20 mM Histidine, 0.05 to 0.15% (w/v) PS-20, and 150 mM sodium chloride, pH 5.8. [0546] Histidine pH 5.8, PS-20 and sodium chloride solutions were prepared and added to the formulation vessel. The individual pneumococcal polysaccharide-carrier protein conjugates, stored frozen, were thawed at 2-8°C and then added to the formulation vessel. During the addition of polysaccharide-carrier protein conjugate to the formulation buffer (conjugate blend), the vessel was mixed to ensure homogeneity using a magnetic sir bar or magnetic impeller. After all additions were made and the solution was stirred, the conjugate blend was passed through sterilizing filters and collected in a vessel with or without APA. In some cases, the sterilizing filters were chased with 150 mM sodium chloride to adjust the batch to target concentration. [0547] The formulations were filled into plastic syringes, glass syringes, or vials.

[0549] The SNE is a multi-component emulsion formulation consisting of 3 stabilizing ingredients; SPAN-85, PS-20 and squalene with a compound, for example, Compound A-1 (referred to as Compound A-1-SNE, see Table 1) and without a compound (referred to as SNE, see Table 2). This formulation is prepared by combining and mixing the compound, SPAN-85, PS-20 and squalene components after dissolving in 100% EtOH together (Table 1). [0550] The process of making the compound-stable nanoemulsion (Compound-SNE) consists of 5 steps: 1) solution preparation of a component mixture including the 3 stabilizing ingredients; SPAN-85, PS-20 and squalene, with a compound 2) SNE formation by means of T-mixing; 3) ultra-filtration; 4) bioburden reduced filtration; and 5) sterile filtration and vial filling. Solution preparation of stabilizer/compound mixture [0551] The stabilizer/compound components were weighed and combined before being dissolved in ethanol before being sterile filtered to form the component mixture. Histidine buffer (20 mM Histidine pH 5.8) was prepared. SNE formation by means of T-mixing
25693 [0552] The component mixture and Histidine buffer were then mixed together at adjacent ends of a T-tube mixer. The stream exiting the T-mix apparatus was immediately diluted 1:1 with 20 Histidine 0.05% PS-20 and 75 mM NaCl, and then collected as formed SNE. Ultra-filtration [0553] The SNE intermediate was then subjected to Dialysis or ultra-filtration with a 500 kDA NMWCO in order to both concentrate the material approximately 10-fold as well as buffer exchange the material against 20 mM Histidine, 0.05% (w/v) PS-20 and 75 mM NaCl, pH 5.8. or 20 mm Histidine pH 5.8 or 20 mM Histidine 0.05% PS-20 pH 5.8. After the dialysis or diafiltration, there was a final concentration step performed in order to achieve final target concentration. Bioburden reduced filtration [0554] The adjuvant bulk was then pre-filtered with a 0.45 µm cellulose acetate (CA) filter followed by a 0.2 µm CA bioburden-reducing filter, and stored liquid at 4°C. Sterile filtration and vial filling [0555] The adjuvant bulk was passed through a 0.45 µm polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) bioburden reducing filter and a 0.22 µm PVDF sterilizing grad filter and received. The filtered adjuvant bulk was then diluted with 20 mM Histidine 0.05% (w/v) PS-20, and 75 mM NaCl pH 5.8 to the target SNE adjuvant concentration.

25693 EXAMPLE 9A Alternate Preparation of a Stable Nanoemulsion (Compound B-1-SNE) Adjuvant System [0556] The Compound B-1-SNE is a multi-component emulsion formulation consisting of 3 stabilizing ingredients: SPAN-85, PS-20 and squalene and the Compound B-1 (see Table 5). This formulation is prepared by combining and mixing the Compound B-1, SPAN-85, PS-20 and squalene components after dissolving in 100% EtOH together. [0557] The process of making the compound-stable nanoemulsion (Compound B-1-SNE) consists of 5 steps: 1) solution preparation of a component mixture that includes the 3 stabilizing ingredients: SPAN-85, PS-20 and squalene and Compound B-1; 2) SNE formation by means of T-mixing or controlled precipitation process utilizing mixing systems to drive self-assembly of the nanoemulsion; 3) ultra-filtration; 4) bioburden reduced filtration; and 5) sterile filtration and vial filling. Solution preparation of stabilizer/compound mixture [0558] The stabilizer/compound components were weighed and combined before being dissolved in ethanol before being heated at 40ºC for 30 min and sterile filtered to form the component mixture. SNE formation by means of T-mixing or controlled precipitation process utilizing mixing systems to drive self-assembly of the nanoemulsion [0559] The component mixture and Histidine buffer were then mixed together at adjacent ends of a T-tube mixer or fluidic assembly. The stream exiting the apparatus was immediately diluted 1:1 with 20 Histidine pH 5.8, and then collected as the formed SNE. Ultra-filtration [0560] The SNE intermediate was then subjected to Dialysis or ultra-filtration with a 500 kDA NMWCO in order to both concentrate the material approximately 10-fold as well as buffer exchange the material against 20 mM Histidine, 0.05% (w/v) PS-20 and 75 mM NaCl, pH 5.8 or 20 mM Histidine pH 5.8 or 20 mM Histidine 0.05% PS-20 pH 5.8. After the dialysis or diafiltration, there was a final concentration step performed in order to achieve final target concentration. [0561] Histidine pH 5.8, PS-20, sodium chloride, L-met, and EDTA solutions were prepared and added to a formulation vessel. The adjuvant bulk SNE was added to the formulation vessel. During the addition of the SNE to the formulation buffer, the vessel was mixed to ensure homogeneity using a magnetic sir bar or magnetic impeller. After all additions were made and the solution was stirred the formulations were filled into plastic syringes, glass syringes, or vials.

Cell-Based TLR 7/8 Assay to Evaluate Compound-SNE Activity [0562] As shown in Figure 1, a cell-based activation system was used to assess activity of the Compound-formulated nanoemulsion systems (Compound B-1-SNE), prepared as described in examples, supra. HEK-Blue™ TLR7 and TLR8 cells (InvivoGen) were designed to assess the stimulation of TLR7 and TLR8 by monitoring the activation of NF-κB and AP-1. Compound B- 1-SNE samples were diluted 1:2 across an 8-point titration in diluent buffer histidine/PS-20 in a sterile V-bottom plate.20 µL of samples were transferred to corresponding wells of two flat bottom assay plates. Media was aspirated from HEK-Blue™ human TLR 7 and TLR 8 cells (T- 75 flasks) and gently rinsed with pre-warmed (37ºC) DPBS for a total volume of 5 mL/flask. The DPBS was gently removed from the cells and cells were gently manually dislodged and resuspended in 2 mL of DPBS. Cell assay suspensions were then prepared at approximately 2.2 x 105 cells per mL of HEK-Blue™ detection medium (InvivoGen).180 µL of cell suspension in detection medium was added to each well of the two flat bottom assay plates containing the diluted Compound B-1-SNE samples for a final dilution of sample equaling 1:10 (180 µL of cell suspension in detection medium and 20 µL of sample). The cells were then incubated at 37ºC in 5% CO2 for 20 hrs. The reporter gene, NF-Kb, induces the production of secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) when stimulated and can be monitored using the vendor supplied SEAP detection kit. SEAP colorimetric changes were read at an absorbance of 640 nm using a SpectroMax Stakmax plate reader. As shown in Figure 1, Compound B-1-SNE activates both
25693 TLR7 and TLR8 receptors with an EC50 of 65.4 µg/mL for TLR7 and 82.3 µg/mL for TLR8. EC50 values were calculated based on total Compound B-1-SNE concentration using GraphPad Prism Software and analyzed using agonist vs. response variable slope (four parameters) least squares fit. EXAMPLE 10A Further Cell-Based TLR 7/8 Assay Information to Evaluate Compound-SNE Activity [0563] Further to the description in Example 10, a cell-based activation system was used to assess activity of the Compound-formulated nanoemulsion systems, prepared as described in examples, supra. HEK-Blue™ TLR7 and TLR8 cells (InvivoGen) were designed to assess the stimulation of TLR7 and TLR8 by monitoring the activation of NF-κB and AP-1. Compound- SNE samples were diluted 1:2 across an 8-point titration in diluent buffer histidine/PS-20 in a sterile V-bottom plate.20 µL of samples were transferred to corresponding wells of two flat bottom assay plates. Media was aspirated from HEK-Blue™ human TLR 7 and TLR 8 cells (T- 75 flasks) and gently rinsed with pre-warmed (37ºC) DPBS for a total volume of 5 mL/flask. The DPBS was gently removed from the cells and cells were gently manually dislodged and resuspended in 2 mL of DPBS. Cell assay suspensions were then prepared at approximately 2.2 x 105 cells per mL of HEK-Blue™ detection medium (InvivoGen).180 µL of cell suspension in detection medium was added to each well of the two flat bottom assay plates containing the diluted Compound-SNE samples for a final dilution of sample equaling 1:10 (180 µL of cell suspension in detection medium and 20 µL of sample). The cells were then incubated at 37ºC in 5% CO2 for 20 hrs. The reporter gene, NF-Kb, induces the production of secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) when stimulated and can be monitored using the vendor supplied SEAP detection kit. SEAP colorimetric changes were read at an absorbance of 640 nm using a SpectroMax Stakmax plate reader. EC50s were calculated based on Compound concentrations only, not total Compound-SNE concentration (Table 6) using GraphPad Prism Software and analyzed using agonist vs. response variable slope (four parameters) least squares fit. As shown in Table 6, Compounds formulated as an SNE activate both TLR7 and TLR8 receptors.

AMPLE 11 PCV1 Immunogenicity in Mice: Evaluation of Adjuvant Systems [0564] Young female Balb/C mice (6-8 weeks old, n=10/group) were intramuscularly (IM) immunized with 0.2 mL of PCV1 formulated with different adjuvants (Table 7) on day 0, day 28, and day 56. PCV1 was dosed at 0.08, µg PnPs (6B conjugated to CRM197) per immunization. Mice were observed at least daily by trained animal care staff for any signs of illness or distress. The vaccine formulations in mice were deemed to be safe and well tolerated, as no vaccine- related adverse events were noted.

[0565] Mouse sera were evaluated for serotype 6B (ST-6B)-specific IgG antibody titers using an ELISA immunoassay (Figure 2). PCV1 immunization of Balb/C mice generated ST-6B- specific IgG antibody titers when formulated with APA, Compound A-1-SNE (at either 0.15, 1.5 or 15 μg Compound A-1 per dose), Compound B-1-SNE (at either 0.3, 3 or 30 μg Compound B- 1 per dose), or Compound C-4-SNE (0.3, 3 or 30 μg Compound C-4 per dose). All formulations were found to be immunogenic, resulted in increased antibody titers after boosting, and, in general, demonstrated a dose-dependent response profile. [0566] Functional antibody titers were determined through opsonophagocytic assays (OPA, Figure 3) based on previously described protocols at www.vaccine.uab.edu and Opsotiter® 3 software owned by and licensed from University of Alabama (UAB) Research Foundation (See Caro-Aguilar I. et al., Vaccine (2017) 35(6):865-72 and Burton R.L. and Nahm M.H. Clin. Vaccine Immunol. (2006) 13(9):1004-9). ST-6B-specific functional antibody titers were generated in Balb/C mice, further confirming all formulations were immunogenic.

Serotype “15C” is a de-O-acetylated 15B serotype. The PCV24 serotypes can also be defined as (serotypes- 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15A, de-O-acetylated 15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23B, 23F, 24F, 33F and 35B). IRMs (Infant Rhesus Monkeys, n=5/group) were intramuscularly immunized with either 0.1 mL (No SNE Adjuvant or Aluminum Adjuvant) or 0.5 mL (Compound B-1-SNE) vaccine, as described in Table 8, below, on days 0, 28 and 56. Sera were collected prior to study start (pre) and on days 14 (PD1), 42 (PD2), 70 (PD3). IRMs were observed at least once daily by trained animal care staff for any signs of illness or distress. The vaccine formulations in IRMs were deemed to be safe and well tolerated, and no vaccine- related adverse events were noted.

[0568] Serotype-specific IgG responses were evaluated using a multiplexed electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assay developed for use with rhesus monkey serum and based on the human assay described in Marchese et al., Clin Vaccine Immunol (2009) 16(3):387-96. [0569] At post-dose 3 (day 70), PCV24 formulated with Compound B-1-SNE at all dose levels showed significantly higher antibody titers when compared to PCV24 without adjuvant (Figure
25693 4). Statistical significance was defined as having a GMT ratio with lower 95% CI exceeding 1.0. As shown in Figure 5, PCV24 formulated with Compound B-1-SNE, at all dose levels, showed significantly higher antibody titers when compared to PCV24 formulated with APA for the majority of serotypes at post-dose 3. PCV24 formulated with Compound B-1-SNE, at all dose levels, showed significantly higher antibody titers when compared to PCV20 for the majority of shared serotypes at post-dose 3 (Figure 6).

Serotype “15C” is a de-O-acetylated 15B serotype. The PCV24 serotypes can also be defined as (serotypes- 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15A, de-O-acetylated 15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23B, 23F, 24F, 33F and 35B). IRMs (Infant Rhesus Monkeys, n=5/group) were intramuscularly immunized with 0.1 mL PCV20 (Aluminum Adjuvant) or 0.5 mL PCV24 adjuvanted with Compound B-1-SNE, as described in Table 9, below, on days 0, 28 and 56. Sera were collected prior to study start (pre) and on days 14 (PD1), 42 (PD2), 70 (PD3). IRMs were observed at least once daily by trained animal care staff for any signs of illness or distress. The vaccine formulations in IRMs were deemed to be safe and well tolerated, and no vaccine-related adverse events were noted.

electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assay developed for use with rhesus monkey serum and based on the human assay described in Marchese et al., Clin Vaccine Immunol (2009) 16(3):387-96. [0572] At post-dose 3 (day 70), PCV24 formulated with Compound B-1-SNE at the 100 µg dose level showed significantly higher antibody titers for all shared serotypes when compared to PCV20 (Figure 7). Statistically higher antibody titers were observed for 17 of 19 shared serotypes at the 10 µg dose level, 7 of 19 shared serotypes at the 1 µg dose level, 1 of 19 shared serotypes at the 0.1 µg dose level when compared to PCV20. All other titers were statistically comparable between the two groups. Statistical significance was defined as having a GMT ratio with lower 95% CI exceeding 1.0. EXAMPLE 14 PCV26 Immunogenicity and Functional Antibody Responses in Mice [0573] Female Balb/c mice (6-8 weeks old, n=15/group) were intramuscularly immunized with 0.1 mL of 26-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) on day 0, day 28, and day 56. PCV26 was administered at 0.4 µg of each pneumococcal polysaccharide (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15A, de-O-acetylated 15B, 16F, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23A, 23B, 23F, 24F, 33F, 35B) all individually conjugated to CRM197 and adjuvanted with aluminum phosphate adjuvant (APA) or Compound B-1-SNE. Adjuvants were utilized at concentrations as described in Table 10. Mice were observed at least daily by trained animal care staff for any signs of illness or distress. Table 10: PCV26 Formulations Formulation
[0574] Mouse sera were collected prior to study start (pre-immune, day 0) and on days 14 (PD1), 42 (PD2), and 70 (PD3). Sera were evaluated for IgG immunogenicity using a multiplexed electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assay. This assay was developed for use with
25693 mouse serum based on the human assay described by Marchese et al. (Marchese R. D., et al., Clin. Vaccine Immunol. (2009) 16(3):387-396) using technology developed by MesoScale Discovery (a division of MesoScale Diagnostics, LLC, Gaithersburg, MD) which utilizes a SULFO-TAG™ label that emits light upon electrochemical stimulation. SULFO-TAG™-labeled anti-mouse IgG was used as the secondary antibody for testing mouse serum samples. Functional antibody titers were determined through multiplexed opsonophagocytic assays (MOPA) based on previously described protocols at www.vaccine.uab.edu and Opsotiter® 3 software owned by and licensed from University of Alabama (UAB) Research Foundation (Caro-Aguilar, I. et al., Vaccine (2017) 35(6):865-872; and Burton R. L., and Nahm M. H., Clin. Vaccine Immunol. (2006) 19(9):1004-1009). [0575] Mouse sera were tested individually in the ECL assay to determine antibody titers and generated antibody titers for all serotypes in the vaccine. Day 0 sera was pooled by group prior to testing in the ECL assay. Antibody titers in mice immunized with PCV26/Compound B-1-SNE were comparable to or higher than titers in mice immunized with PCV26/APA and the maximal difference was observed by day 42 (Figure 8). [0576] It is also of note that PCV26, which contains polysaccharide conjugates 15A-CRM197, deOAc15B-CRM197, 6A-CRM197, and 6B-CRM197 also provided cross-reactivity to 15B and 6C and these titers in mice immunized with PCV26/Compound B-1-SNE were comparable to or higher than those in mice immunized with PCV26/APA (Figure 8). [0577] For all timepoints, mouse sera was pooled by group prior to testing in the MOPA to determine functional antibody titers and PCV26 generated functional antibody titers in mice which killed vaccine-type bacterial serotypes. Similar to results from the ECL assay, functional antibody titers in mice immunized with PCV26/Compound B-1-SNE were comparable to or trended higher than titers in mice immunized with PCV26/APA and the maximal difference was observed by day 42 (PD2). [0578] Antibody subclassing was performed to determine if the immune response was driven towards Th1 or Th2. Mouse sera from day 70 (PD3) were tested individually in an IgG subclassing assay to quantify IgG2a and IgG1 antibody titers and the ratio of IgG2a/IgG1 was calculated. A higher ratio indicates immunity driven more towards a Th1 response while a lower ratio indicates immunity driven more towards a Th2 response. Data from three representative serotypes (18C, 19F, and 24F) indicate PCV26/Compound B-1-SNE immunized mice have a more Th1-like response while PCV26/APA immunized mice have a more Th2-like response (Figure 9). Unpaired T test showed a significant difference in the IgG2a/IgG1 ratio between the PCV26/APA and PCV26/Compound B-1-SNE immunized groups across all three representative
25693 serotypes (P<0.0001). The addition of Compound B-1-SNE to a pneumococcal antigen composition is beneficial to not only the response but also to the quality of the response. This data indicates there is a difference in the quality of the immune response induced by Compound B-1-SNE adjuvant and APA adjuvant. [0579] On day 77, 10 mice per group were intratracheally challenged with 105 cfu of S. pneumoniae serotype 24F bacteria in 0.1 mL of PBS. After challenge, mice were weighed daily and blood was collected at 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours to assess bacteremia. Mice were monitored by trained animal care staff for any sign of illness or distress in accordance with a schedule approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and euthanized if defined criterion are met. All animal experiments were performed in strict accordance with the recommendations in the Guide for Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of the National Institutes of Health. The mouse experimental protocol was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, NJ, USA). All PCV26 immunized mice were protected from bacteremia and showed 100% survival after intratracheal challenge with S. pneumoniae serotype 24F (Figure 10). One-Way ANOVA with Dunnett Multiple comparisons test indicated that PCV26/APA and PCV26/Compound B-1-SNE immunized groups were significantly protected from bacteremia when compared to the naïve control group (P<0.0001) (Figure 10A). Mantel-Cox log-rank test of survival curves indicated that PCV26/APA and PCV26/Compound B-1-SNE immunized groups were significantly protected from challenge when compared to the naïve control group (P<0.0001) (Figure 10B).
