Prioritising research of importance to patients and health-care professionals improves evidence-based care. This prioritisation setting partnership was undertaken in global burn care (focusing on thermal non-electrical burns) by establishing a James Lind Alliance research priority setting partnership. Over 2 years, two online multilingual surveys with patients, carers, and clinicians, 16 interviews, and a virtual priority setting workshop were conducted to identify and prioritise questions for research. Survey responses were received from participants in 88 countries (1617 survey one respondents; 630 survey two respondents). A short-list of 19 research priorities were ranked at an online workshop attended by 28 participants (14 health-care professionals, ten burn survivors, and four carers or advocates) from 15 countries to produce the final top ten research priorities. These priorities provide opportunities for researchers, funders, and clinicians to shape the future of burns research and improve burns care globally.","PeriodicalId":48783,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Global Health","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":34.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143885463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By 2023, typhoid conjugate vaccines (TCVs) had been introduced in six countries globally, with more than 50 million doses distributed. Now that TCVs are being deployed, there is a need for observational studies to assess vaccine effectiveness in the field. We aimed to evaluate the validity of different observational study designs in estimating vaccine protection.METHODSWe compared different observational and experimental study designs for assessing vaccine effectiveness by re-analysing data from the TyVAC Bangladesh trial, a participant-blinded and observer-blinded cluster-randomised controlled trial done in Mirpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh. 150 geographical clusters were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either TCV or Japanese encephalitis vaccine. Eligible children aged 9 months to 15 years were offered a single dose of the vaccine randomly assigned to their cluster of residence, and baseline vaccination was done between April 15 and May 15, 2018. We compared estimates of vaccine effectiveness from the cluster-randomised controlled trial analysis-which assessed the risk of blood-culture-confirmed typhoid fever among recipients of TCV versus recipients of Japanese encephalitis vaccine-with estimates from cohort study and test-negative case-control study design (TND) analyses, which compared recipients of TCV with non-vaccinees in the 75 geographical clusters where TCV was administered. We further conducted negative-control exposure (NCE) and negative-control outcome (NCO) analyses as bias indicators.FINDINGS41 344 (67%) of 62 025 age-eligible children in the study area received the TCV or Japanese encephalitis vaccine during the baseline vaccination campaign. Among the 62 025 age-eligible children, 5582 blood-culture specimens were collected by passive surveillance, including 2546 (46%) specimens from the 75 TCV clusters. The estimated vaccine efficacy was 89% (95% CI 81-93) in the cluster-randomised controlled trial analysis, 79% (70-86) by the cohort design, 88% (79-93) by the TND when pan-negatives were used as test-negative controls, and 90% (75-96) by the TND when specimens positive for pathogens other than Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi were used as test-negative controls. Using NCE analysis, Japanese encephalitis vaccination was associated with an increased risk of typhoid fever compared with non-vaccinees in the 75 Japanese encephalitis clusters in the cohort design (incidence rate ratio 1·98 [95% CI 1·56-2·52]), but no significant association between Japanese encephalitis vaccination and typhoid fever was found with the TND. Similarly, an increased risk of non-typhoid infections was observed in the cohort NCO analyses when comparing vaccinees with non-vaccinees in both Japanese encephalitis vaccine clusters and TCV clusters, but not in the TND NCO analyses.INTERPRETATIONOur findings suggests that the TND provides reliable estim","PeriodicalId":48783,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Global Health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":34.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143853074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of a live-attenuated Mycobacterium tuberculosis vaccine (MTBVAC).METHODSThis single-centre, phase 1b-2a, double-blind, dose-escalation, randomised controlled trial (NCT02933281) enrolled South African adults previously vaccinated with BCG, who were HIV negative and aged 18-50 years, with or without M tuberculosis sensitisation assessed by QuantiFERON-tuberculosis Gold-Plus assay (QFT). Participants were recruited from the local community and randomly allocated (2:1) to receive MTBVAC (5 × 103, 5 × 104, 5 × 105, or 5 × 106 colony-forming unit [CFU] doses) or BCG revaccination (5 × 105 CFU dose). The primary outcomes were the occurrence of systemic solicited adverse events within 7 days and unsolicited adverse events within 28 days after vaccination, the occurrence of solicited and unsolicited injection-site reactions within 84 days after vaccination, and the occurrence of serious adverse events (SAEs) until the end of study, 365 days after vaccination. Data were analysed per modified intention to treat. The trial is now complete and closed.FINDINGSBetween Jan 15, 2019, and Sept 7, 2020, 485 participants provided consent and were screened. 144 participants were enrolled and 143 (99%) were vaccinated. BCG was administrated to 47 (33%) of 143 and MTBVAC to 96 (67%) of 143. 12 participants with QFT-negative results and 12 with QFT-positive results were randomly allocated to receive each dose of MTBVAC and 24 participants with QFT-negative results and 24 with QFT-positive results were randomly allocated to receive BCG revaccination. Injection-site pain, discharge, erythema, and swelling increased with MTBVAC dose level. MTBVAC 5 × 105 CFU recipients reported a similar proportion of related adverse events (23 [96%] of 24) as BCG recipients (45 [96%] of 47). MTBVAC recipients who were QFT positive reported more injection-site reactions (46 [96%] of 48; 95% CI 85·7-99·5) than MTBVAC recipients who were QFT negative (32 [67%] of 48; 51·6-79·6). No vaccine-related SAEs were reported. All doses of MTBVAC were immunogenic; vaccine-induced antigen-specific CD4 T-cell responses peaked 28 days after vaccination. The MTBVAC 5 × 105 and 5 × 106 CFU doses induced T-helper-cell-1 cytokine-expressing CD4 T-cell responses that exceeded BCG-induced responses in participants who were QFT negative and QFT positive.INTERPRETATIONMTBVAC at the 5 × 105 dose showed similar safety and reactogenicity and greater immunogenicity when compared to BCG. These results suggest that the 5 × 105 dose of MTBVAC could be selected for a subsequent efficacy evaluation.FUNDINGCongressionally Directed Medical Research Programmes and US National Institutes of Health.","PeriodicalId":48783,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Global Health","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":34.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143851075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
