Combination Influenza Vaccine
Positioning
“Next Generation”
▲Replacement of existing
vaccines
▲Game-changing product
Priming in elderly & other at-risk
populations Improves existing flu
vaccines
▲Combination vaccine – no longer a
commodity product
▲Potential for premium pricing
▲Potential for expansion into new
markets: M-001 can prime many TIV
brands
▲Early preparedness for seasonal &
pandemic vaccines
Regulatory
Pathway
Need to show protection
(that correlates with new
surrogate marker)
▲Clear regulatory pathway using
existing HAI surrogate marker :
•HAI seroconversion and GMT
Phase III
▲Large scale field trial ▲Smaller, quicker trial

The Multimeric-001 (M-001) is comprised of a
unique and proprietary combination of nine
selected linear B- and T-cell epitopes that are
conserved and common to most influenza
strains
The Multimeric-001 Vaccine
A single recombinant polypeptide containing
each of the nine linea r epitopes, taken in
triplicate, with proline as a spacer

Second Phase II Study (BVX005) – Underway
Trial Design: •
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-contro lled study in 120 elderly volunteers
•
Various formulations and administration schedules –
Single and double prime before boost with TIV
–
With and without Aluminum Phosphate adjuvant
Timeline:
•
Initiation: September 2011 Projected study completion: Q1 2012
Endpoints:
•
Primary –
To assess the safety, tolerability, reactogenici ty and local tolerance of non-adjuvanted and
Alum-adjuvanted (Aluminum Phosphate) Multimeric-001 vaccine, when used as a primer
to TIV
•
Secondary (exploratory) – Immunogenicity endpoints –
To characterize the immune responses in all study groups, in cluding assessment of HI
antibody levels
•
Immunogenicity assessment will examine two concepts:
–
Administration schedule: single vs. double prime
–
Adjuvant: contribution of Alum inum Phosphate as an adjuvant

Third Phase II Study (BVX006) – 2012 in EU
Trial Design: •
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-contro lled study in 400 elderly volunteers
•
Will employ the best performing formulation (adjuvanted or non-adjuvanted) and administration schedule (single or double prime) from the second Phase II (now underway)
Timeline:
•
Initiation: Q2 2012 Projected study completion: Q1 2013
Endpoints:
•
Primary –
To assess safety, tolerability, reactogenicity and local tolerance of Multimeric-001 vaccine
–
Immunogenicity: Significant elevation in antibodies (IgG) to Multimeric-001
•
Secondary (exploratory) –
To describe the enhancement of TIV by priming with Multimeric-001 vaccine in elderly at
different prime-boost time intervals
–
Enhancement of TIV will be measured by HI GMT or seroconversion rates for any of the vaccine strains (2011-2012 influenza season) at 4 weeks post-TIV vaccination

Influenza & the Elderly: The Slippery Slope •
Adults ≥65 years of age c omprise ~15% of the US population, but account for 65% of hospitalizations and 90% of deaths attribu table to influenza and its complications
•
136,000 hospitalizations and 36,000 deaths per year in the US (elderly)
•
Aging population: proportion of popu lation ≥65 years expected to rise to ~ 25% by 2050
leading to almost one million hospitalizatio ns and quarter million deaths annually in
countries belonging to the OECD
