Phase 3 Safety and Efficacy of AZD1222 (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19) Covid-19 Vaccine

Ann R. Falsey et al.

Summary: The clinical trial in the United States, Chile, and Peru showed that the AZD1222 vaccine was both safe and effective in preventing symptomatic and severe Covid-19 cases, with an overall estimated efficacy of 74% and a higher efficacy of 83.5% in participants 65 years of age or older. The high vaccine efficacy was consistent across various demographic subgroups, and antibodies increased significantly after each dose.

Cryo-electron Microscopy Structure of S-Trimer, a Subunit Vaccine Candidate for COVID-19

Jiahao Ma et al.

Summary: Utilizing Trimer-Tag technology, scientists produced stable S-Trimer vaccine candidates for COVID-19, which showed tightly closed conformations and pH-dependent stability. This platform technology has the potential to contribute to the production of effective COVID-19 subunit vaccines.

Safety and immunogenicity of S-Trimer (SCB-2019), a protein subunit vaccine candidate for COVID-19 in healthy adults: a phase 1, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Peter Richmond et al.

Summary: A study in Australia evaluated the dose-finding and adjuvant justification of the SCB-2019 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2. The vaccine, which contains a stabilised trimeric form of the spike protein (S-Trimer) combined with AS03 or CpG/Alum adjuvants, elicited robust humoral and cellular immune responses in both younger and older adults.

S-Trimer, a COVID-19 subunit vaccine candidate, induces protective immunity in nonhuman primates

Joshua G. Liang et al.

Summary: Researchers have developed a trimeric vaccine candidate S-Trimer for COVID-19 based on Trimer-Tag technology. Immunization studies in animal models showed high levels of neutralizing antibodies and cellular immune responses, and protection from SARS-CoV-2 challenge in rhesus macaques. This technology may be crucial for scalable production of subunit vaccines against emerging RNA viruses.

Efficacy and safety of an inactivated whole-virion SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (CoronaVac): interim results of a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial in Turkey

Mine Durusu Tanriover et al.

Summary: The study presented the interim efficacy and safety results of the CoronaVac vaccine in a phase 3 clinical trial in Turkey, demonstrating high efficacy against PCR-confirmed symptomatic COVID-19 with good safety and tolerability profile. Results showed significant differences in the frequency of any adverse events between the vaccine and placebo groups, indicating excellent protective effects of the vaccine.

Effectiveness of an Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine in Chile

Alejandro Jara et al.

Summary: A study in Chile involving 10.2 million participants assessed the effectiveness of an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine developed in China. Fully immunized individuals had vaccine effectiveness of 65.9% for preventing Covid-19 and 87.5% for preventing hospitalization, 90.3% for preventing ICU admission, and 86.3% for preventing death.
