“…The safety and reactogenicity profile of the NTHi-Mcat vaccine was consistent with previous studies. 5 , 6 , 15 , 16 Reactogenicity was similar in the study groups who received NTHi-Mcat after RZV and the group who received NTHi-Mcat vaccine alone and there were few severe reactogenicity events. Unsolicited AEs occurred with similar frequency in all study groups and were mainly mild or moderate in severity.…”

A candidate AS01-adjuvanted vaccine containing four surface proteins from non-typable Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis (NTHi-Mcat) has been developed to help prevent exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Sequential administration of different vaccines containing the same AS01-adjuvant system could lead to immune interference. We compared administration of NTHi-Mcat following AS01-adjuvanted recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) versus NTHi-Mcat alone. This phase 2a, open-label trial (NCT03894969) randomized healthy current or former smokers (50–80 years) without COPD to administration of NTHi-Mcat at 1, 3 or 6 months after RZV or to NTHi-Mcat alone (2-dose for both vaccines). Primary outcome was non-inferiority of the humoral immune response to NTHi-Mcat administered 1 month after RZV versus NTHi-Mcat alone, evaluated by specific antibody geometric mean concentration (GMC) ratio with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The per-protocol set included 411 participants. Primary objective was met; lower limit of the 95%CI for the GMC ratio above 0.667 for all four vaccine antigens, 1 month after the second NTHi-Mcat dose. NTHi-Mcat induced similar immune response regardless of whether administered alone or 1, 3 or 6 months following RZV. Safety and reactogenicity profiles were acceptable; adverse event frequency was similar among study groups. Injection site pain was the most common symptom. No new safety concerns were identified. The study demonstrated non-inferiority of the immune response elicited by NTHi-Mcat administered sequentially to RZV versus NTHi-Mcat alone, indicating no immune interference. Starting from 1 month, no specific interval is required between RZV and NTHi-Mcat containing the same AS01-adjuvant system components in different quantities.

Purpose Data regarding the relationship between microbiologic features and comorbidities in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) are limited. The aim of this study was to correlate microbiologic findings with comorbidities in patients with moderate to severe AECOPD. Patients and Methods This multicenter observational study included patients with AECOPD seen at 28 hospitals in South Korea between January 2015 and December 2018, and the data were retrospectively collected. Pathogens were examined in patients with either pulmonary or extrapulmonary comorbidities, and compared to those of patients without comorbidities. The relationship between pathogen type and the number of comorbidities was also evaluated. Results Bacterial infections (178 [37.2%] vs 203 [28.7%], p = 0.002) and co-infections with bacteria and viruses (65 [13.6%] vs 57 [8.1%], p = 0.002) were more prevalent in patients with pulmonary comorbidities. Bacterial pathogens (280 [34.7%] vs 101 [26.7%], p=0.006) were detected at a higher rate in patients with extrapulmonary comorbidities. Previous pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), bronchiectasis, and diabetes mellitus were risk factors for bacterial infection, and congestive heart failure was a risk factor for bacterial and viral co-infection. As the number of comorbidities increased, the risk of bacterial infection increased considerably. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was more frequently identified in patients with previous PTB (57 [15.3%] vs 59 [7.4%], p < 0.001) and bronchiectasis (33 [19.6%] vs 83 [8.3%], p < 0.001). Conclusion AECOPD patients with comorbidities were more likely to experience infection-related exacerbations compared to those without comorbidities. As the overall number of comorbidities increased, the risk of bacterial infection increased significantly.
