Safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of a novel 24-valent pneumococcal vaccine candidate in healthy, pneumococcal vaccine-naïve Japanese adults: A phase 1 randomized dose-escalation trial.

Background: The burden of pneumococcal diseases remains high in Japan. Pn-MAPS24v is a novel MAPS-based vaccine containing complexes of 24 serotype-specific polysaccharides (PS), non-covalently coupled with fusion protein 1 (CP1). This study evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of different dose levels of Pn-MAPS24v, administered in Japanese adults either subcutaneously (SC) or intramuscularly (IM).

Pulsed processing by cold plasma, applied to industrial emission control.

A promising pollution control technology is cold plasma driven chemical processing. The plasma is a pulsed electric gas discharge inside a near atmospheric-pressure-temperature reactor. The system is energized by a continuous stream of very short high-voltage pulses.

Safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of a novel 24-valent pneumococcal vaccine in toddlers: A phase 1 randomized controlled trial.

Background: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) significantly reduced pneumococcal disease burden. Nevertheless, alternative approaches for controlling more serotypes are needed. Here, the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a 24-valent (1/2/3/4/5/6A/6B/7F/8/9N/9V/10A/11A/12F/14/15B/17F/18C/19A/19F/20B/22F/23F/33F) pneumococcal vaccine based on Multiple Antigen-Presenting System (MAPS) technology (Pn-MAPS24v) was assessed in toddlers.

Safety and immunopharmacology of ASP0892 in adults or adolescents with peanut allergy: two randomized trials.

Background: New treatment options with improved safety and novel mechanisms of actions are needed for patients with peanut allergy.

Objectives: To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of ASP0892, a peanut DNA vaccine, after intradermal (id) or intramuscular (im) administration in adult or adolescent patients with peanut allergy in two phase 1 studies.

Methods: ASP0892 or placebo was administered every 2 weeks for a total of 4 doses.
