Vaccines of the future
Rino Rappuoli
Conference on New Horizons for Vaccine Research and Innovation Session on Innovation on Vaccine Design
Bruxelles,
March 12 2014
Vaccination, the most effective medical intervention ever introduced
• So far saved >700 million disease cases,
– >150 million deaths
• 2011-2020 vaccines will save
– 25 million deaths • 2.5 million/year
• 7000/day
• 300/hour
• 5/min
During the last 30 years, several new technologies made
possible vaccines that were previously impossible
Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib)
Pneumococcus
Meningococcus
Group B streptococcus
Capsular polysaccharides & Conjugates

In silico vaccine candidates
Express recombinant proteins
VACCINE CANDIDATES
600 potential vaccine candidates identified
350 proteins successfully expressed in E.coli
91 novel surface-exposed proteins identified
28 novel proteins have bactericidal
activity
Reverse Vaccinology A genomic approach to vaccine discovery
Reverse vaccinology allowed us to target many pathogens that were difficult or impossible before
Including SUPERBUGS
Group B Streptococcus
Group A Streptococcus
Chlamydia
Malaria Yersinia pestis

Vesikari T, et al. NEJM.
MF59 increases efficacy of influenza vaccine in
children from 43 to 86%
Vaccine also showed satisfactory
safety profile:
• Increased local reactogenicity
• No increase in serious adverse
experiences vs. control

Vaccines against poverty An Institute to address the gaps in vaccine development
In the recent past, no mechanism was in place to develop vaccines needed only in developing countries
Novartis Vaccines Institute for Global Health (NVGH)
A new non-profit initiative to develop effective and affordable vaccines for
neglected infectious diseases of developing countries
Located in Siena , Italy
Legal entity started in Feb 2007
Allan Saul hired as CEO Sept 2007
Inauguration Feb 22, 2008
Typhoid vaccine licensed to BioE post phase II, June 2013
• Fatigue Immunization typically prevents diseases, which have been nearly eradicated, so most people lack first-hand experience
• Vaccine value in a world of limited resources cost effectiveness becomes important in decision making Health economics not able to assign the right value to vaccines
• Saving money or saving lives? – Should industry invest in vaccines?
