New Vaccines Against Tuberculosis - 21/05/15
, Tony Hawkridge, MBChB b, Willem A. Hanekom, MBChB, DCH, FCP cRésumé |
The only currently licensed tuberculosis (TB) vaccine, bacille Calmette Guérin, confers incomplete protection against tuberculosis, and is not safe in infants infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. A new, safe vaccine regimen, which better protects against lung disease, is urgently needed to control TB in high-burden countries. Multiple candidate vaccines have shown promise in preclinical studies, and are now entering phase 1 to 2B clinical trials. This article discusses progress in the field and issues surrounding safety, reactogenicity, immunogenicity, and efficacy testing of new TB vaccines.
