AV7909 is a next-generation anthrax vaccine under development for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) following suspected or confirmed Bacillus anthracis exposure, when administered in conjunction with the recommended antibacterial regimen. AV7909 consists of the FDA approved BioThrax® vaccine (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed; AVA) and an immunostimulatory Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) adjuvant, CPG 7909. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential systemic and local toxicity of AV7909 when administered via repeat intramuscular (IM) injection to the right thigh muscle (biceps femoris) to male and female Sprague Dawley rats. The vaccine was administered on Days 1, 15 and 29 and the animals were assessed for treatment-related effects followed by a two-week recovery period to evaluate the persistence or reversibility of any toxic effects. The AV7909 vaccine produced no apparent systemic toxicity based on evaluation of clinical observations, body weights, body temperature, clinical pathology, and anatomic pathology. Necrosis and inflammation were observed at the injection sites as well as in regional lymph nodes and adjacent tissues and were consistent with immune stimulation. Antibodies against B. anthracis protective antigen (PA) were detected in rats treated with the AV7909 vaccine, confirming relevance of this animal model for the assessment of systemic toxicity of AV7909. In contrast, sera of rats that received saline or soluble CPG 7909 alone were negative for anti-PA antibodies. Overall, three IM immunizations of Sprague Dawley rats with AV7909 were well tolerated, did not induce mortality or any systemic adverse effects, and did not result in any delayed toxicity.
