  1. MALARIA VACCINES DEVELOPMENT: THE WAY AHEAD Joe Cohen, Ph.D. Vice President R&D Vaccines for Emerging Diseases & HIV APPMG BEAD meeting London, February 6, 2006

  2. GSK: A global Vaccine Company • Global vaccine supplier • 1.6 billion doses of GSK vaccines distributed in over 168 countries • 90% of total volume went to the Developing World • Primary supplier to WHO, UNICEF, PAHO, GAVI APPMG BEAD meeting London, February 6, 2006

  3. GSK Vaccine Programs addressing the needs of the Developing World • Combination vaccines facilitating delivery and compliance e.g. Tritanrix: D, T, Pw, HepB, Hib • Meningitis vaccines aimed at Africa’s “Meningitis belt” e.g. MenACW; Hib MenAC • Rotarix early introduction in international markets based on medical needs • R&D on new vaccines for which primary or exclusive need is in DCs, e.g. Malaria, TB, HIV APPMG BEAD meeting London, February 6, 2006

  7. Summary of results from the LandmarkPoC Study in Mozambique* • Vaccine is safe and well tolerated in 1-4 year old children • Efficacy against uncomplicated malaria: 35% • Efficacy against severe malaria disease: 50% • Protection persists for at least 18 months * P. Alonso et al, Lancet, 364:1411-20 , 2004 * P. Alonso et al, Lancet,366:2012-18, 2005 APPMG BEAD meeting London, February 6, 2006

  8. Significance of the results • Represent a major scientific breakthrough • Estimated vaccine efficacy is comparable to that of existing or contemplated malaria preventive methods (eg. insecticide impregnated bed nets, indoor spraying, IPTi) • If efficacy confirmed in subsequent clinical evaluation • This vaccine will have a significant public health impact APPMG BEAD meeting London, February 6, 2006

  9. The Way Forward: Clinical Development Plan • Establish Safety in infants • staggered with other EPI vaccines: 2005-06 • Establish Safety and compatibility with current EPI vaccines and PoC in infants • in co-administration with EPI vaccines: 2006-07 • Multi-centric Phase III (Efficacy) in Africa (2008-2009) • Process scale-up and build Industrial scale Manufacturing facility (2005-2008) • File submission: 2010 APPMG BEAD meeting London, February 6, 2006

  10. WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE OVERTHE NEXT 4 YEARS IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY DELAYS IN VACCINE DEPLOYEMENT APPMG BEAD meeting London, February 6, 2006

  11. Prepare for introduction • Implementation of the Clinical Development Plan (GSK, PATH-MVI, Collaborators) • Production scaling-up and manufacturing facility built and validated (GSK) • Regulatory strategy developed (GSK, MVI-PATH, European Reg. Authorities, WHO, National Reg. authorities) • Implementation strategy: integration with EPI and with other malaria control measures [GSK and partners, International Health Authorities (WHO, UNICEF) and National Heath Authorities] APPMG BEAD meeting London, February 6, 2006

  12. Accelerate Introduction • Create demand • Advocacy • Demand Forecasting • Identify funding sources and mechanisms • GAVI, The GlobalFund • Advance Purchase Commitments • Important at beginning of Phase III clinical development • Financial under pinning for decisions on manufacturing facilities • Guaranteed number of doses to be purchased • Coordinated strategy between public and private sector APPMG BEAD meeting London, February 6, 2006

  13. CONCLUSIONS – Main Messages • An effective vaccine against malaria will become a reality in the short to mid-term future and possibly as early as 2010/2011 APPMG BEAD meeting London, February 6, 2006

  14. CONCLUSIONS – Main Messages • It will need to be integrated into existing public health interventions (EPI vaccination, Malaria prevention measure) in endemic regions APPMG BEAD meeting London, February 6, 2006

  15. CONCLUSIONS – Main Messages • When the vaccine is available and registered, a rapid and broad introduction must be our common goal APPMG BEAD meeting London, February 6, 2006

  16. CONCLUSIONS – Main Messages • Now is the time to start planning for • Manufacturing • Regulatory Strategy • Implementation policy • Accelerated introduction • Vaccine procurement mechanisms APPMG BEAD meeting London, February 6, 2006

  17. CONCLUSIONS – Main Messages • GSK is committed to achieving this goal through strong Partnership with Governments, NGO, International and National Health authorities and donor organizations APPMG BEAD meeting London, February 6, 2006
