BNIT-PR-001 is an open-label, multi-center, Phase I dosing evaluation trial of MVA-BN®-PRO in men with androgen-insensitive prostate cancer. Patients will have PSA recurrence after being treated with androgen suppression therapy or complete androgen blockade.
The trial will consist of a treatment with up to 6 vaccinations with MVA-BN®-PRO at monthly intervals, followed by a 1-year follow-up phase. A vaccination may be 1, 2, or 4 injections of study vaccine.
The study is designed to examine safety as well as the effect of three different doses on immune response.

The three encephalitic alphaviruses, western, eastern, and Venezuelan equine encephalitis viruses (WEEV, EEEV, and VEEV) are potential biothreat agents due to high infectivity through aerosol exposure, ease of production in large amounts, and relative stability in the environment. Currently, there is no licensed vaccine for human use to these three encephalitic alphaviruses, and efforts to move vaccine candidates forward into clinical trials have not been successful. In this study, the modified vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic (MVA-BN®) vaccine platform was used to construct and produce three monovalent recombinant MVA-BN-based encephalitic alphavirus vaccines, MVA-BN-W, MVA-BN-E, and MVA-BN-V. Additionally, a MVA-BN-based construct was designed to produce antigens against all three alphaviruses, the trivalent vaccine MVA-BN-WEV. The protective efficacy of these vaccines was evaluated in vivo. Female BALB/c mice were immunized with two doses of each monovalent MVA-BN-based alphavirus vaccine, a mixture of the three monovalent vaccines, MVA-BN-W + E + V, or the trivalent vaccine MVA-BN-WEV at a four-week interval. Two weeks after the booster immunization, the mice were instilled intranasally with 5 × 10³ to 1 × 10⁴ plaque forming units of WEEV, EEEV, or VEEV. All mice immunized with monovalent vaccines survived the respective virus challenge without any signs of illness or weight loss, while all the control mice died. The triple mixture of vaccines or the trivalent vaccine also provided 90 to 100% protection to the mice against WEEV and VEEV challenges, and 60% to 90% protection against EEEV challenge. These data suggest that each monovalent MVA-BN-W, MVA-BN-E, and MVA-BN-V is a potential vaccine candidate against respective encephalitic alphavirus and the three monovalent vaccines can be given in a mixture (MVA-BN-W + E + V) or the trivalent vaccine MVA-BN-WEV can serve as a true multivalent vaccine without significantly reducing efficacy against WEEV and VEEV despite slightly reduced efficacy against EEEV challenge.

The dramatic clinical benefit of immune checkpoint blockade for a fraction of cancer patients suggests the potential for further clinical benefit in a broader cancer patient population by combining immune checkpoint inhibitors with active immunotherapies. The anti-tumor efficacy of MVA-BN-HER2 poxvirus-based active immunotherapy alone or in combination with CTLA-4 checkpoint blockade was investigated in a therapeutic CT26-HER-2 lung metastasis mouse model. MVA-BN-HER2 immunotherapy significantly improved the median overall survival compared to untreated controls or CTLA-4 blockade alone (p < 0.001). Robust synergistic efficacy was achieved with the combination therapy (p < 0.01). Improved survival following MVA-BN-HER2 administration was accompanied by increased tumor infiltration by HER-2-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). These tumor-specific CTL had characteristics similar to antiviral CTL, including strong expression of activation markers and co-expression of IFNγ and TNFα. Combination with CTLA-4 blockade significantly increased the magnitude of HER-2-specific T cell responses, with a higher proportion co-expressing TNFα and/or IL-2 with IFNγ. Furthermore, in mice treated with MVA-BN-HER2 (alone or in combination with CTLA-4 blockade), the inducible T cell co-stimulator (ICOS) protein was expressed predominantly on CD4 and CD8 effector T cells but not on regulatory T cells (T(reg)). In contrast, mice left untreated or treated solely with CTLA-4 blockade harbored elevated ICOS(+) Treg, a phenotype associated with highly suppressive activity. In conclusion, poxvirus-based active immunotherapy induced robust tumor infiltration by highly efficient effector T cells. Combination with CTLA-4 immune checkpoint blockade amplified this response resulting in synergistically improved efficacy. These hypothesis-generating data may help elucidate evidence of enhanced clinical benefit from combining CTLA-4 blockade with poxvirus-based active immunotherapy.

Activation of CD8(+)T-cells is an essential part of immune responses elicited by recombinant modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA). Strategies to enhance T-cell responses to antigens may be particularly necessary for broadly protective immunization against influenza A virus infections or for candidate vaccines targeting chronic infections and cancer. Here, we tested recombinant MVAs that targeted a model antigen, GFP, to different localizations in infected cells. In vitro characterization demonstrated that GFP accumulated in the nucleus (MVA-nls-GFP), associated with cellular membranes (MVA-myr-GFP) or was equally distributed throughout the cell (MVA-GFP). On vaccination, we found significantly higher levels of GFP-specific CD8(+)T-cells in MVA-myr-GFP-vaccinated BALB/c mice than in those immunized with MVA-GFP or MVA-nls-GFP. Thus, myristoyl modification may be a useful strategy to enhance CD8(+)T-cell responses to MVA-delivered target antigens.
