Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to nanoparticulate vaccine adjuvants, and to vaccine compositions which contain nanoparticulate vaccine adjuvants; to methods of preparing such adjuvants and compositions; and to methods of using such compositions and adjuvants for vaccination.
- the vaccine adjuvants disclosed herein are effective for enhancing the immune response to vaccination.
- Vaccination is an important public health measure, as underlined by the recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
- An effective vaccine against an infectious disease if widely administered across a population, can both slow the transmission of the disease and reduce the severity of the symptoms experienced by the vaccinated population.
- Vaccines can also be effective for treating certain types of disease, including proliferative disorders such as cancer.
- Vaccines work by inducing an immune response which operates to protect the vaccinated individual.
- the immune system is stimulated by exposure to a suitable immunogen, such as a pathogen antigen or a cancer-associated antigen, which, directly or indirectly, excites a protective adaptive immune response.
- a suitable immunogen such as a pathogen antigen or a cancer-associated antigen, which, directly or indirectly, excites a protective adaptive immune response.
- the adaptive immune response may be mediated by B cells and/or T cells.
- the objective may be to provide long-term immunity against the antigen and/or pathogens, cells or entities bearing that antigen.
- Vaccines developed for protection against infectious disease include inactivated and live-attenuated vaccines; toxoid vaccines; viral vector vaccines; subunit, recombinant, polysaccharide, and conjugate vaccines; and mRNA vaccines.
- Vaccines developed for protection against cancer include autologous patient-derived immune cell vaccines, tumor antigen-expressing recombinant virus vaccines, peptide vaccines, DNA vaccines, and heterologous whole-cell vaccines derived from established human tumor cell lines. In each case, the vaccine contains either antigens capable of inducing an immune response, or polynucleotides encoding antigens that are capable of inducing an immune response.
- vaccines also contain adjuvant ingredients. These are substances that are capable of enhancing the immune response induced by the vaccine. This can be important, particularly where the vaccine antigen has low immunogenicity, or where the vaccine is to be administered to immunologically compromised, immunologically depleted or immunologically immature patients, such as infants or the elderly. The bolstering effect of an adjuvant can also allow the dose of vaccine per patient to be reduced, which is important for vaccine sparing in situations where there is insufficient vaccine.
- Vaccine adjuvants approved for human use include aluminium-based mineral salts (Alum), MF59, monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) and a CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG 1018).
- Imiquimod R-837
- Imiquimod R- 837)
- l-(2-methylpropyl)imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine CAS Number: 99011-02-6
- R-837, and S-26308 - is a small molecule imidazoquinoline drug having the structural formula :
- R-837 Another exemplary structural analogue of imiquimod (R-837) is S28690, a small molecule TLR7 agonist, described in Hicks et al, Blood (2004) 104 (11) : 3481.
- R 1 is typically N and R 2 is typically H or C and where the imidazoquinoline is optionally substituted at one or more of the indicated addition points with one or more substituents, which substituents may be independently selected from branched, linear or cyclic alkyl, alkenyl, alcohol, alkylamine, alkoxy or alkoxyalkyl groups, in particular, Ci-io alkyl, alkenyl, alcohol, alkylamine, alkoxy or alkoxyalkyl groups, or hydroxyl groups, or amine groups, or N-(Cnio alkyl)methanesulphonamide groups.
- the term “imiquimod” as used herein also includes close structural derivatives of these imidazoquinolines, including thiazoloquionoline derivatives, which are active TLR7/8 ligands.
- Imiquimod stimulates the innate and adaptive immune system by activating toll-like receptors 7 and/or 8 (TLR7/8). It is approved by the FDA as an active ingredient in two topical cream formulations, Aldara® and Zyclara®.
- topical imiquimod is capable of enhancing the immune response induced by a vaccine.
- topical imiquimod enhances both antibody responses and cellular responses to subcutaneous immunisation using ovalbumin; with the immune response shifted towards a Thl phenotype with marked enhancement of IgG2a, IgG2b and CD8+ T cell responses (Johnston et al, Vaccine 2006 Mar 10;24(l 1): 1958- 65).
- Pre-treatment with topical imiquimod also significantly improves the immunogenicity of influenza vaccination in both young and elderly individuals (Hung et al, Lancet Infect Dis. 2016 Feb;16(2):209-18). Similar results were reported by Adams et al, J. Clin. Oncol. 25(18) suppl. 8545, which evaluated the safety and adjuvant activity of imiquimod when administered with a NY-ESO-1 protein vaccine.
- imiquimod can be formulated in aqueous-based formulations at low pH as described in these and similar references, this approach does not readily allow for coformulation of the imiquimod with vaccine antigens and polynucleotides which denature or change their form at low pH. Low pH formulations are also unsuitable for parenteral administration.
- polylactide (PLA)-based micelles have been coreloaded with imiquimod and surface-functionalized with an antigenic protein (HIV-1 Gag p24) for antigen delivery purpose (Jimenez-Sanchez, et al Pharm. Res. (2015) 32:311-320).
- the imiquimod is encapsulated in the hydrophobic PLA core, whilst the p24 antigen is covalently attached through lysine and N-terminal amine groups to the N-succinimidyl pendant groups of the micelle corona,
- the release of imiquimod from the particles was however found to be very rapid (50% in Ih, -75% in 4 to 5 hours).
- a nanomedicine format that provides a slower release of the adjuvant is thought to be likely to support a more potent immune response.
- nanoparticulate vaccine adjuvant that comprises imiquimod, is suitable for injection, and is capable of providing sustained release of imiquimod over an extended period of time, which can improve the performance of imiquimod as a vaccine adjuvant.
- the disclosed nanoparticulate vaccine adjuvant can be formulated with existing vaccines or coformulated with vaccine antigens and/or polynucleotides and, if required, with additional vaccine ingredients; thereby also providing a vaccine composition comprising an imiquimod vaccine adjuvant which can be parenterally administered, including by injection.

- FIG. 4 An example of the manufacturing process is illustrated in Figure 4 and described in Examples 1-3.
- the process as illustrated and described utilizes acidic pH buffers and HP-P-CD concentrations which are optimized for the incorporation of imiquimod:cyclodextrin into nanoparticles during the extrusion process.
- the present inventors have recognised that as acidic pH conditions are not compatible with lipid and antigen/polynucleotide stability, and are unsuitable for parenterally administered drugs, the product ingredients should not be exposed to a pH below pH 4 during the manufacturing process, and the pH must be raised to near neutral pH in the final product. This may or may not be before the addition of any antigen or polynucleotide.
- the concentration of “free” unencapsulated imiquimod in the in-process solution must be reduced prior to any increase in pH to prevent precipitation of the “free” unencapsulated imiquimod which would block filters used for dialfiltration and sterile filtration, preventing its removal from the bulk product and preventing successful sterile filtration.
- the reduction in the concentration of “free” unencapsulated imiquimod can be accomplished by methods such as ultracentrifugation or diafiltration with appropriately sized membranes that retain nanoparticles, but permit the passage of free imiquimod and cyclodextrin into the permeate. Diafiltration is a process that is well suited for clinical and commercial scale drug manufacturing, and may be preferred for this reason.
- the pH can be raised and diafiltration can continue to remove external cyclodextrin and imiquimod, and formulate the product into Drug Product final buffer.
- the vaccine adjuvant may be mixed with antigen or polynucleotide for production of a vaccine composition. This step may be carried out during or after the production of the vaccine adjuvant. Where a polynucleotide is to be added, it may be considered favourable to add the polynucleotide during the early stages of production of the adjuvant. Where a larger protein antigen or cellular antigen is to be added, it may be considered favourable to add the larger protein antigen or cellular antigen during or after the later stages of production of the adjuvant, once the pH has been adjusted to near neutral, as disclosed herein. This may be before or after all necessary diafiltration and purification steps have been completed, as described in Example 2.
- a batch process performed according to cGMP standards may produce approximately 10 liters of vaccine adjuvant, in the form of a sterile suspension of liposomes containing imiquimod at a concentration of approximately 10 pg/ml.
- This composition may be used as an adjuvant in a vaccine, by combination with other vaccine ingredients including antigens or polynucleotides which encode antigens.
- Nanoparticles were produced using a number of raw materials and excipients important for the structure and quality of the drug product. With the exception of cholesterol (see below), all of the raw materials and excipients were either synthetic or derived from plants.
- the liposome shell was composed of three components:
- N-(carbonyl-) methoxypolyethylene glycol 2000)-l,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero 3- phosphoethanolamine sodium salt MPEG-DSPE
- HSPC soy phosphatidylcholine
- the aqueous core was composed of two components:
- Example 2 Preparation of a nanoparticulate vaccine adjuvant comprising imiquimod
- nanolipogels which are core-shell structures having a lipid shell encapsulating imiquimod and HP-P-CD.
- the nanolipogels were incubated with a solution of PEG-4000 in pH 5 buffer, allowing the PEG-4000 to load into the interior of the nanoparticles.
- Diafiltration was carried out to remove external imiquimod and cyclodextrin. Further diafiltration steps were then performed to raise the pH of the formulation to pH 7.4. The resulting solution is suitable for use as a vaccine adjuvant.
- Example 3 Preparation of a vaccine composition
- the nanoparticles of Example 2 are mixed with vaccine ingredients, including a suitable vaccine antigen such as SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, in solution at pH 7.4.
- SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is utilised as an antigen in various approved vaccine formulations, including the NUVAXOVID® SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, and is commercially available.
- the nanoparticles are further subjected to 4 diavolumes diafiltration using hollow fiber membrane (500 Kd) with 1% trehalose PBS pH 7.4 buffer at 25°C, to further reduce external cyclodextrin concentration and remove external imiquimod, and to add 1% trehalose. This step may, alternatively, be carried out during the production of the nanoparticles according to Example 2.
- the concentration of the formulation is then adjusted and the formulation was sterilised to a standard required for therapeutic use. Sterilisation is carried out by filtration, using a 0.2pm filter.
- the formulation is supplied at a single dose concentration containing 10 pg/mL of imiquimod. It is a sterile white opaque liquid.
- the container closure system consists of a 5 mL clear borosilicate glass vial, a 13 mm synthetic chlorobutyl rubber stopper, and flip-off crimp seal.
- the composition of the IMP in a 5ml vial is listed in Table 2 below.
- concentrations of the PEG 4000 and 2-hydroxypropyl-(3-cyclodextrin are the maximum possible concentrations based upon the batch formula.
- a Cryo-TEM image of nanoparticles loaded with imiquimod is shown in Figure 3.
- Cryo transmission electron microscopy (cryo TEM) demonstrates that the majority of these nanoparticles are spherical with a unilamellar outer shell.
- the cryo TEM images also provide information related to the state of the encapsulated drug and the internal environment of the nanoparticles.
- the nanoparticles have interiors that are more dense than the surrounding buffer, consistent with the loading of the liposomes with imiquimod, HP-P-CD and PEG 4000 polymer in the interior of the liposome.
- topical imiquimod is capable of enhancing the immune response induced by a vaccine.
- Pre-treatment with topical imiquimod also significantly improves the immunogenicity of influenza vaccination in both young and elderly individuals (Hung et al, Lancet Infect. Dis. 2016 Feb; 16(2):209- 18).
- Similar results were reported by Adams et al, J. Clin. Oncol. 25(18) suppl 8545, which evaluated the safety and adjuvant activity of imiquimod when administered with a NY-ESO-1 protein vaccine.
- the topical administration of imiquimod in these studies makes impossible an accurate assessment of the imiquimod dose delivered to the target immune cells.
- the subcutaneous lethal dose of a single subcutaneous dose in rats was 20 mg/kg. • Intravenous doses of 0.5 to 5.0 mg/kg imiquimod produced cardiac stimulation, central nervous system stimulation and some evidence of autonomic nervous system inhibition in dogs.
- Intravenous doses of 0.5, 1 and 2 mg/kg/day imiquimod were administered to pregnant female rabbits during the period of organogenesis (gestational Days 6 - 18). No treatment related effects on embryo fetal toxicity or teratogenicity were noted at 2 mg/kg/day.
- the EMA’s toxicology review of Aldara (imiquimod) 5% cream (https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/documents/scientific-discussion/aldara-epar-scientific- discussion_en.pdf) describes a number of animal studies of the toxicology, pharmacokinetics, and metabolism of imiquimod. It was reported that overall, “the toxicology program indicates a high degree of safety with no target organ toxicity other than that attributed to exaggerated pharmacological activity. Imiquimod did not affect fertility and it was neither teratogenic nor genotoxic. In carcinogenicity study in mice there was no increase in the incidence of tumors or non-neoplastic lesions as the result of dermal exposure to imiquimod”. Specific findings from these studies include:
- the maximum imiquimod dose of the nanoparticles disclosed herein are thousands-fold below the current dose levels of approved drugs or the MRHD based on numerous animal studies or a well tolerated 30 mg subcutaneous dose in healthy human volunteers (Soria, Myhre, et al., 2000). See also Table 3, which compares the quantity of imiquimod in a proposed 100 pl dose of the disclosed nanoparticles (NP) with the approved safe dose of Aldara® (imiquimod).
- VIRHD maximum recommended human dose
- Lipid nanoparticles having a hydrogel core have been shown to be preferentially taken up by antigen presenting cells (APCs), which may provide an advantage in immunological modulation.
- APCs antigen presenting cells
- Look et al, Biomaterials 35(2014) 1089-1095 showed that lipid nanoparticles having a hydrogel core were subject to more efficient uptake by dendritic cells in comparison with PLGA nanoparticles, with an >100x fold increase in uptake demonstrated by flow cytometry analysis and confocal imaging.
- IVRA in vitro release assay
- Example 7 Use in a community vaccination setting
- a dose of the vaccine composition of Example 3 is administered by parenteral intramuscular injection into the upper arm of a patient at risk of contracting COVID-19 disease.
- the adjuvant ingredients serve to enhance the protective immune response induced by the vaccine.
