Polio Eradication Initiative 2 February 2005Purpose For NVAC to: Be informed and aware of key decisions and progress toward polio eradication. Support US participation in the global stockpile and response and access to mOPV Support WHO's efforts to stop the proliferation of wild polioviruses for IPV production and program to assess safety and efficacy of Sabin-IPV Endorse plans for a NAS meeting on antiviral agents

Polio Eradication Initiative 6 February 2005 Impact of 'Intensification', Asia Focal Transmission in 2004 Pakistan/Afghan India 6 NIDs + 8 rounds in high risk areas
7
Polio Eradication Initiative 7 February 2005 Challenge: tenacious viral transmission and ‘fatigue’ (public and staff) Planned response: Use of type 1 monovalent OPV in Egypt and parts of India by May 2005 ‘Underserved’ strategy Integration with other interventions Prospects – Asia & Egypt Protection after 1 dose of mOPV vs. tOPV (for type 1 polio)

January 2005 Polio Eradication Initiative Post-OPV Cessation Policies/Products February 2005
11
Polio Eradication Initiative 11 February 2005 Priority of Post-OPV Cessation Planning ".. to manage the risk of paralytic disease caused by any polioviruses among current and future generations of children."* [Elimination of risk not possible!] *WER 2004;39:349-355. January 2005

Polio Eradication Initiative 14 February 2005 Risks of Polio After 'Eradication' VAPP 2-4/million birthcohort 250-500stable iVDPV24 identified <1 decreases (since 1963) cVDPV1* per year 10increases IPV sites1 accident (1990s) <1decreases Lab accident 1 investigation NKdecreases Deliberate0NKunknown FrequencyAnnualEvolution Risk to dateburden over time *based on current understanding After interruption of wild poliovirus, continued use of OPV will compromise the goal of a polio-free world. Expert Consultation on Vaccine-derived Polioviruses (VDPVs), Sept 2003, Geneva January 2005
15
Polio Eradication Initiative 15 February 2005 Policy Decision Cessation of OPV for routine immunization Consensus of September 2003 (endorsed in September 2004) meeting Risks > benefits in absence of wild poliovirus Expectation of countries and stakeholders High opportunity & financial costs of continued OPV. Timing : must occur while population immunity & surveillance sensitivity (for cVPDV emergence) are high. January 2005
16
Polio Eradication Initiative 16 February 2005 Prerequisites for OPV Cessation Appropriate containment of all polioviruses. Global surveillance & notification capacity. mOPV stockpile & response mechanism. Coordinated cessation of OPV. 'Post OPV' immunization policy in place. January 2005
17
Polio Eradication Initiative 17 February 2005 Routine Immunization Policy Discontinue OPV (as recommended) Remaining options: – Discontinue all polio vaccination – Replace OPV with IPV (country, region or globally) – Develop a new polio vaccine January 2005
18

Polio Eradication Initiative 19 February 2005 Current WHO Statement on IPV Most important considerations: Risk of importation / spread of wild PV Vaccination coverage (IPV mostly direct effects) January 2005
20
Polio Eradication Initiative 20 February 2005 Products Pursued & Rationale I mOPV – Finish eradication in most difficult areas (anticipate licensure in Spring 2005 for mOPV1) – Serve as principle stockpile vaccine Antivirals – Clear chronic excretion among long-term excretors – Available for post-exposure prophylaxis – Option for outbreak control (example: pandemic flu) January 2005
21
Polio Eradication Initiative 21 February 2005 Sabin-IPV – Facilitate containment – Serve as "warm-base" for restart OPV production – Minimize the proliferation of new wild poliovirus amplification sites – Facilitate the replacement of all wild poliovirus in vaccine production (longterm objective) – “ The AACPE (AdHoc Advisory Committee on Polio Eradication) is encouraged by the prospect of a potentially effective IPV using Sabin poliovirus strains, and urges acceleration of studies to demonstrate safety and protective efficacy.…” (WER 2004, 79,401-8) Products Pursued & Rationale II January 2005
22
Polio Eradication Initiative 22 February 2005 Timelines depend primarily on interruption of wild poliovirus. Policy directions will be reviewed as new data becomes available. OPV Cessation Strategy January 2005
23
Polio Eradication Initiative 23 February 2005 Use mOPV for 'outbreaks' Implement ' BSL3 / polio ' for Sabin Schematic: Risks & Timelines Main Risk Years after last wpv Containment Vaccines Surveillance 012453 cVDPV emergence Inadvertant wpv release Undetected wild polio iVDPV &/or IPV accident Implement ' BSL3 / polio' for WPVs 'Final' IPV Procure decisions stockpile Add 'suspect polio' to IHR Potential Target Date for OPV Cessation 'Dangerous pathogen' lab & surveillance practices
24
Polio Eradication Initiative 24 February 2005 Summary/Conclusions OPV cessation prerequisite for maintaining eradication, elements: – Poliovirus detection & notification – Stockpile & emergency response – Long-term containment – National immunization policy decisions Key is to manage the risks (no ‘risk free’ option) January 2005
25
Polio Eradication Initiative 25 February 2005Purpose For NVAC to: Be informed and aware of key decisions and progress toward polio eradication. Support US participation in the global stockpile & response and access to mOPV Support WHO's efforts to stop the proliferation of wild polioviruses for IPV production and program to assess safety and efficacy of Sabin-IPV Endorse plans for a NAS meeting on antiviral agents

Polio Eradication Initiative 27 February 2005 EXTRA Slides- Polio Eradication Status
28
Polio Eradication Initiative 28 February 2005 Selected Key Milestones Short-term (24 months): License monovalent OPV & establish response mechanism. Limit sites of wild poliovirus amplification (incl. IPV sites). Consensus on long-term containment ( GAP ed. III ). Introduce 'National Guidelines for OPV Cessation'. Medium term (24-60 months): Align surveillance/diagnostics with that of dangerous pathogens. Long-term: Promote use of Sabin strains only for IPV manufacture. October 2004 January 2005
29
Polio Eradication Initiative 29 February 2005 Ongoing Work Risks measurement & management iVDPVs: prevalence, re-introduction risk, clearance strategies (IgG, antivirals) cVDPV: define highest risk areas & potential strategies (e.g. limited pulses, IPV) IPV sites: define biosecurity 'gains' with Sabin; for new producers Lab stocks: verify survey/inventory process; Stockpiles: size of mOPV stockpiles; role of IPV; restart capacity (5 year period) IPV introduction define country expectations re future polio immunization model impact (esp. in terms of cVDPV emergence) determine whether specific conditions warrant a WHO IPV recommendation protective efficacy of Sabin-IPV January 2005
30
Polio Eradication Initiative 30 February 2005 Potential World Health Assembly Resolutions (May 2005) 1. OPV Cessation: consensus on globally coordinated OPV cessation as key goal of the eradication initiative. 2. Containment (future handling of polioviruses): consensus on need for safe storage at secure biosafety levels for Sabin, vaccine-derived & wild polioviruses after OPV cessation. 3. Outbreak Response (reintroduction of polioviruses): consensus on the need for vaccine stockpile and international controls, & mechanism for responding to polio outbreak should one occur.

Polio Eradication Initiative 34 February 2005 Sudan as of 18 Jan 05 Sudan had 112 cases. Undetected circulation for several years. Four rounds of NIDs planned for the first half of 2005. Recently negotiated days of tranquility so that all children could be reached. Concern about spread to Ethiopia, Eritrea, Uganda, Kenya and other countries.
35
Polio Eradication Initiative 35 February 2005 Challenge: largest outbreak in recent history.
