GLOBAL HEALTH mABs [M2] Public-Private collaboration for accessible infectious disease mAbs in LMICs

GLOBAL HEALTH mABs Workshop

Public-Private collaboration for accessible infectious disease mAbs in LMICs

There are significant gaps in monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) access and availability in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The highest burden populations for a growing number of licensed mAbs are not benefiting from this class of innovations. Prophylactic, long acting mAbs offer a viable alternative and complementary approach to vaccines in protecting against infections of critical importance in LMICs, but the impact of this established modality may not be realized. Viable business models, commercial incentives and pathways to afford access are currently not in place. Public-Private collaboration will likely be needed to bridge this gap.

Co-organized by: IAVI, Medicines Patent Pool (MPP), Unitaid and Wellcome

Goal of session: To foster mAb developer engagement to understand the barriers and define the incentives and enablers that would facilitate affordable access to mAbs in LMICs.

Target audience: Participants in the World Vaccine Congress, in particular industry stakeholders working in the mAbs field and broader stakeholders with expertise or interest in various aspects related to the development, manufacturing, supply, regulation, and procurement of monoclonal antibodies.

10:00 Introduction

Building a sustainable vaccine R&D ecosystem in Africa

Africa CDC

Africa CDC, in collaboration with partners such as Mastercard Foundation, Institut Pasteur de Dakar and other key stakeholders have been working on potential solutions with propositions of establishing the Vaccine Research and Development Centres and a Research and Development Coordinating Platform. This program envisages the establishment of a system of regional R&D centres connected by a single continental R&D coordinating platform. R&D centres will consolidate infrastructure, assets, and expertise (virtually or physically) in each region to deliver meaningfully on at least one stage of the R&D value chain.

Objectives:

  • How critical is vaccine R&D to Africa?
  • What is the status of vaccine R&D in Africa
  • How best can Africa Develop its vaccine R&D talent?
  • What programmes can be developed and implemented to develop vaccine R&D talent in Africa?
  • What financing models would work for vaccine R&D talent development programmes?

The first 90 minutes will made of a round questions aimed at the panellists, followed by Q&As from participants. An opportunity to discuss Vaccine R&D Talent, R&D in general in Africa and perspectives from the continental body (Africa CDC) and active engagements with participants. The final 30 min will be the time for participants to engage with Panellists and networking opportunities

Beyond Efficacy Workshop

BEYOND EFFICACY [PM3]: Innovating vaccine development and implementation for impact

Room 207A

Vaccine efficacy is only one determinant of vaccine impact. This workshop will explore innovations throughout the development of a novel vaccine which may ensure better access and equity.Whichever the theme each year, it will challenge our thinking, our dogmas and perhaps reveal new horizons. It honoursDr Mike Watson, a true vaccinologist and original thinker.

2pm Workshop leader opening remarks:Dr Angus Thomson,Principal,Irimi Company,Bruce Gellin, MD, MPH, Chief, Global Public Health Strategy, Senior Vice President, Health, The Rockefeller Foundation

2:10pm Presentation 1:Program implementation – Electronic Immunization Records are foundational for equitable vaccination (and PHC)

EIRs can reduce HCW workload,track the un- and under-vaccinated and be leveraged in many ways to build vaccine demand and uptake. They can facilitate a switch from input-based financing to results-based financing, a transformational shift which can drive vaccine uptake and may be a scaffold for many other PHC services.

Rustam Nabiev, Director,Shifo Foundation

2:40pm Presentation 2:Outracing the Outbreak: CEPI’s Mission to Develop Vaccines in 100 Days

To meet its vision of developing a pandemic vaccine within 100 days, CEPI identified a number of transformational innovations in technologies, processes and partnerships that will be required. What are these necessary shifts in what we do and in how we think and act? And how can they inform the development and delivery of routine vaccines as well?

Dr Rebecca Farkas, Director of Dept of R&D Innovations,CEPI

3:10pm Presentation 3: How do we make sure that the vaccines we develop are what countries want?

Recent new vaccine technologies such as mRNA, peptides or VLPs allow for rapid, flexible and scalable development and production of new vaccine candidates. But these innovations mean little if they aren’t translated into vaccines that used. How can we mapthe potential public health, economic and societal value and the realities of vaccination programs when selecting candidate vaccines.

Dr William Hausdorff,Public Health Value Proposition Lead,PATH

3:40pm Beyond the infodemic: Building a foundation for infodemiology within public health systems

Public health programs across the world struggled with an infodemic of disinformation through the COVID-19 pandemic. However our understanding of how to more systematically track and respond to disinformation, and how to proactively create healthier health nformation ecosystems moved ahead in leaps and bounds. Infodemiology is a new public health discipline that studies the spread of information with the goal of improving health. Infodemiology.com, which launched this week, provides live dashboards that track trending online health conversations, practical trainings that will help integrate infodemiology into daily practice, and the latest resources from across the field. It aims to support public health professionals and health care providers to practice effective infodemiology in routine practice, and is already being used by leading public health institutions and healthcare associations in the US.

Interactive Roundtables

In many developing countries, social media usage is growing at a rate of 50% per year and disinformation is increasing. In some African countries, a majority of adults did not have sufficient trust to accept a Covid vaccination. The response from governments to misinformation and trust deficits often uses 19th century rather than 21st century technology.

This roundtable discussion is focused on sharing ideas to help change that, covering topics such as:

Transforming data-use in demand work through rapid surveys and pulse checks Achieving a step-change in the use of social media to combat misinformation

Utilizing 21st century approaches to understand and respond to vaccine hesitancy

Strengthening government capacity to rapidly and proactively respond to rumors and misinformation

Can wastewater data inform vaccination campaigns for COVID-19?

Market Access

The WHO declared the end of COVID-19 as apublic health emergencyin May 2023. Since then, the number of COVID-19 metrics easily available has declined drastically across the world. Alternative data sources are therefore needed to continue to track and analyse COVID-19 trends in a post-pandemic world.Airfinity will be presenting never before seen analyses showing how wastewater data has closelyfollowed COVID-19 cases, hospitalisation and deaths, and how it can beused as a relative indicator of disease levels to inform vaccination timelines.
