SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Technology description follows.
Recombinant Chimeric Bovine/Human
Parainfluenza Virus 3 Expressing
SARS–CoV–2 Spike Protein and Its Use
Description of Technology
Vaccines for SARS–CoV–2 are
increasingly available under emergency
use authorizations; however, indications
are currently limited to individuals
twelve (12) years or older. They also
involve intramuscular immunization,
which does not directly stimulate local
immunity in the respiratory tract, the
primary site of SARS–CoV–2 infection,
shedding and spread. While the major
burden of COVID–19 disease is in
adults, infection and disease also occur
in infants and young children,
contributing to viral transmission.
Therefore, the development of safe and
effective pediatric COVID–19 vaccines
is important. Ideally, a vaccine should
be effective as a single dose, should
induce mucosal immunity with the
ability to restrict SARS–CoV–2 infection
and respiratory shedding, and should
easily coordinate with vaccines for other
illnesses, such as HPIV3.
The live-attenuated vaccine
candidates are based on a recombinant
chimeric bovine/human parainfluenza
virus 3 (rB/HPIV3) vector expressing
prefusion-stabilized versions of the
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
Coronavirus 2 (SARS–CoV–2) Spike (S)
protein. The B/HPIV3–SARS CoV–2
vaccine candidates are designed to be
administered intranasally by drops or
spray to infants and young children.
The vaccines are expected to induce
durable and broad systemic and
respiratory mucosal immunity against
SARS–CoV–2 and HPIV3.
Immunogenicity and protective efficacy
against SARS–CoV–2 challenge was
confirmed in experimental animals
including non-human primates. Based
on experience with this B/HPIV3
platform and other live-attenuated PIV
vaccine candidates in previous pediatric
clinical studies, the present candidates
are anticipated to be well-tolerated in
humans, including infants and young
children, and are available for clinical
evaluation. The National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases has
extensive experience and capability in
