Description
VACCINE FORMULATIONS COMPRISING PRESERVATIVE SYSTEM
FIELD OF INVENTION
The présent invention relates to preservative system and use thereof in vaccine formulations. More particularly, the présent invention relates to mono or multivalent vaccine formulations comprising preservative system and which is free of thiomersal.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Vaccine is a biological préparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from attenuated or kiîled forms of the microbe, its toxins, or at least one of its surface proteins or at least one of its capsular polysaccharides. The agent stimulâtes the body's immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, destroy it, recognize and destroy any of these microorganisms that it later encounters. Besides from having a certain level of immunogenicity, potency, stability, a vaccine formulation needs to be free from microbial contamination.
Preservatives are required for multidose vaccine formulations to prevent contamination and to stabilize the composition of subséquent doses after the first dose is used. The preservative must enable the vaccine formulation to pass efficacy tests or antimicrobial challenge tests.
U.S. Patent No. 6,790,445 B1 discloses combinations of preservatives that pass antimicrobial testing requirements for United States Pharmacopeia (USP), British Pharmacopeia (BP), and Européen Pharmacopeia (EP) selected from the group consisting of (1) 1.5% benzyi alcohol; (2) 0.225% methyl paraben sodium, 0.025% propyl paraben sodium; and 0.9% benzyi alcohol, and (3) 0.225% methyl paraben sodium, 0.025% propyl paraben sodium, and 0.375% 2-phenoxyethanoi.
U.S. Patent No. 9,095,567 B2 describes a multivalent immunogenic composition comprising a polysaccharide-protein conjugates consisting of pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides from Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F and 23F, individuaiiy conjugated to CRM197, and further comprising not less than 7 mg/mL of 2-phenoxyethanol (2-PE). This patent disclosed that the preservative effectiveness test (PET) results showed that al! of the tested preservatives met the USP requirements but not the EP criteria. 2-PE was the only candidate preservative which was found to be safe at higher dosages.
U.S. Patent Publication No. 2004/0258700 A1 discloses a vaccine formulation comprising an immunogen, a preservative characterized in that the preservative is a combination of at least two paraben esters and 2-phenoxyethanoi.
U.S. Patent Publication No. 2013/0273098 A1 described that the addition of the surfactant 0.1% Poloxamer 188 (Pluronic® F-68) resulted in no observed particulates with any of the preservatives tested such as phénol, 2-phenoxyethanol, m- cresol, benzyl alcohol, or chlorobutanol.
WO Publication No. 2018/169303 A1 discloses a vaccine composition comprising: (i) a capsular polysaccharide-protein conjugale; (ii) 2-phenoxyethanol (2-PE); and (iii) formaldéhyde (HCHO), and a method for preparing the same.
Hilliard et.al (1964, Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences 53(8), 899-901) discloses the addition of 0.375 per cent v/v of 2-phenoxyethanol to poliomyelitis vaccine fumished a stabië mixture of preservatives (streptomycin, neomycin, and 2-phenoxyethanoi) which was inhibitory to both bacteria and fungi.
Stephen et.al., (1985, International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 25, 245-253) discloses antimicrobial preservatives that belong to the same Chemical groups are believed to produce mereïy additive effects when used in combination.
Preservatives generally offer limited protection against viral contamination. Bactéricides and fungicides may évincé their effects on a variety of rnicrobial cellular targets, for example; the cell wall, the cytoplasmic membrane or the cytoplasm. It is often difficult to assign a précisé target for a spécifie class of preservative; the target can and does change with preservative concentration. As a conséquence, preservatives often interfère with several different rnicrobial cellular mechanisms. Such cytotoxicity may also affect mammalian cells. Hence inclusion levels should be minimal, consistent with adéquate préservation. There is a reguiatory expectation to provîde the reason for preservative inclusion, proof of efficacy, safety information, control methods and details of labeling in the finished product.
In concept, the preservative System protects the product against rnicrobial prolifération but does not compromise product performance. In practice, this means that it must:
• exert a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity at low inclusion ievels.
• maintain activity throughout product manufacture, shelf life and usage.
• not compromise the quality or performance of product, pack or delivery system.
• not adversely affect patient safety or tolérance of the product.
Pharmacopoeial antimicrobial effectiveness tests (AET) or preservative efficacy tests (PET) involve challenging a product with a defined number of colony forming units (cfu) of a variety of test microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts and fungi), énumération at time zéro and then monitoring kill / survival rate at defined time intervais. In addition to antimicrobial effectiveness testing (AET), it is a regulatory requirement to monitor the Chemical stability of the drug product (in its final container) throughout the product’s proposed shelf-life.
Thimerosal (also known as Thiomersal; Merthiolate) is an ethyl mercurycontaining preservative which has, since the early 1930s, been added to many multi-dose injectable formulations. Thiomersal, which contains mercury, is claimed to cause autism in chiidren and is also toxic to the environment. It would be advantageous to look for preservatives which are safe for vaccines to replace thimerosal. Thus, there <s a need for a vaccine formulation comprising preservatives that are safe as well as effective.
Although the safety profile of 2-phenoxyethanol (2-PE) is better than that of mercurial preservatives (e.g. thiomersal), but it is the weaker antimicrobial of the two and required to be include at higher concentration Ievels in the vaccine formulations.
Thus, in order to improve the preservative efficacy of 2-PE at low concentration Ievels in vaccine formulations, inventors of the présent invention through their continuous efforts hâve developed a low concentration of preservative system comprising 2-PE in combination with other preservatives. The inventors hâve found that the preservative Systems are safe and effective for use in vaccine formulations for prévention of microbial/viral growth.
OBJECTIVE OF THE INVENTION
It is an objective of the présent invention to provide a preservative composition comprising low concentration Ievels of 2-phenoxyethanol for use in vaccine formulations for prévention of microbial/viral growth.
It is another objective of the invention to provide stable multi-dose vaccine formulation that comprises low concentration Ievels of 2-phenoxyethanol.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Accordingly, the présent invention provides a vaccine formulation comprising a preservative System comprising 2-phenoxyethanol at a concentration in the range of 0.1% to 0.6% and at least one other preservative selected from the group consisting of m-cresol, benzyl alcohol, phénol and benzoic acid.
The invention also provides a vaccine formulation comprising an immunogen, a preservative System comprising 2-phenoxyethanol at a concentration in the range of 0.1% to 0.6% and at least one other preservative selected from the group consisting of m-cresol, benzyl alcohol, phénol and benzoic acid and one more suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
The invention also provides a process for manufacturing vaccine formulation comprising a preservative System containing 2-phenoxyethanol at a concentration in the range of 0.1% to 0.6 % and at least one other preservative selected from the group consisting of m-cresol, benzyl alcohol, phénol and benzoic acid.

Exampie 1: Detailed study of the preservative sélection and efficacy study
The aim of the study was to establish the least concentration of preservative which is susceptible to bacteria and fungi that can be used in the formulation of vaccines, specifically Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV). Two types of preservatives with different concentrations were chosen for the study. The test cultures were received in the form of Bioball® (manufactured by BTF Pty Ltd.) from which the préparation of glycerol aiiquots was carried out.
In this study, the usage of minimal and effective dosage of preservative in multivalent PCV was investigated. Microbial content and preservative efficacies were studied according to United States Pharmacopeia (USP) ‘USP29, General Chapter 5T. Microorganisms count in test samples with different strengths of preservatives along with drug product (vaccine formulation) were checked from day 0 to 35th day.
The inoculum with initial count of 1x105 to 1x107 cells of micro-organisms which are the most common contaminants (Staphylococcus au reus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a yeast
Candida albicans, Escherichia coli and Aspergillus brasiliensis) were inoculated individually for evaluating the strength of each preservative.
In the current study, incubation of test samples with test organisms (Table 1) was carried out in LabTech™ incubator for a period of 35 days.

Example 8: Immunization of rabbits with the preservative containing formulation of PCV
In order to ascertain whetherthe formulation containing preservative composition has any négative influence on sérum antibody titer, vaccine formulation containing two preservatives was préparée (Exampïe 2). Another formulation without any preservative but containing exactly the same excipient was prepared as ‘control’ (Example 3). These polysaccharide conjugaies were adsorbed onto aluminum phosphate gel and assessed for critical vaccine quality attributes in accordance with the pharmacopoeial guidelines.
Healthy rabbits having weight of 1.5 to 2 kg each were bred and reared in a contained facility. Rabbits were immunized with the aforementioned formulation. Each group, consisting of 7 rabbits, were immunized with either Exemple 2 or Exampïe 3 formulation on days 1, 15 and 29. Blood samples were collected on days 0 (pre-immune), 15 (test bleed) and 36 (final bleed). Rabbit sera collected on day 0 (PD1 ) and Day 40 (PD3) were analyzed for serotype spécifie immune response using ELISA. The ELISA was performed as per the WHO suggested protocol.
| Group size | Schedule | |
| Immunization | Bleeding | |
| 7 Rabbits each | Day 1, Day 15 & Day 29 | Day 0 (PI), Day 12, Day 26 & Day 40 (PD3) |
Titer estimation
Antibody titer in the immunized animais was assigned as inverse of dilution factor that showed twice as much OD^onm as the pre-immune titer (approximately 0.2 OD). Sérum antibody titer of each animal (n=7) was plotted using MedCalc on logarithmic scale (on yaxis). The error bar indicates variance at 95% Confidence Interval (Cl). The mid-point in the error bar represents the group average sérum antibody titer.
A guide to reading the plot is given below which describes how the plot is laid out (Figure 1). Briefly, the x-axis legend contains the Formulation ID, bleed analyzed, and the serotype tested. For exampïe, Pi_ST1 means, sérum antibody titer in rabbit immunized with formulation disclosed in Example 2 at pre-immune bleed against Serotype 1, PD3_ST1 means, sérum antibody titer in rabbit immunized with formulation disclosed in Example 2 at post dose 3 bleed against Serotype 1, PD3_ST22F means, sérum antibody titer in rabbit immunized with formulation disclosed in Example 2 at post dose 3 bleed against Serotype 22F and so on (Figure 2 A & B). It is common to expect background titers in the pre-immune rabbits. However, post third dose of immunization the sérum antibody titer increases several-fold indicating robust and spécifie immune response in the immunized animais.
Similarly, Pi_ST1 in Figure 3 A & B means, sérum antibody titer in rabbit immunized with formulation disclosed in exampie 3 at pre-immune bleed against Serotype 1, PD3_ST1 means, sérum antibody titer in rabbit immunized with formulation disclosed in exampie 3 at post dose 3 bleed against Serotype 1, PD3_ST22F means, sérum antibody titer in rabbit immunized with formulation disclosed in example 3 at post dose 3 bleed against Serotype 22F and so on. It is observed that the sérum antibody titers in rabbit immunized with formulation described in exemple 3 was similar to those observed in rabbits immunized with formulation disclosed in example 2. Hence, the data herein indicates that the presence of preservative composition has no négative effect on immunogenicity of the vaccine formulation.
The concentration of preservative chosen to test the immune response was 0.6 mg/ml of 2-PE and 0.2 mg/mL of m-cresol. As shown in the figures, there is no inhibitory effect on the immune response in rabbits at this concentration of preservatives and it is expected that the concentrations lower than this will not hâve any négative effect on the immune response too.
