Signals of Significantly Increased Vaccine Breakthrough, Decreased Hospitalization Rates, and Less Severe Disease in Patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 Caused by the Omicron Variant of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 in Houston, Texas

Paul A. Christensen et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 has rapidly spread worldwide and is now responsible for the majority of COVID-19 cases. A study found that patients infected with Omicron were younger, had higher vaccine breakthrough rates, and were less likely to be hospitalized compared to patients with other variants. They also required less respiratory support and had shorter hospital stays, indicating reduced disease severity.

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron-B.1.1.529 leads to widespread escape from neutralizing antibody responses

Wanwisa Dejnirattisai et al.

Summary: On November 24, 2021, the sequence of a new SARS-CoV-2 variant, Omicron-B.1.1.529, was announced. Compared to previous variants, Omicron has a higher number of mutations in the Spike (S) protein. Serum neutralization of Omicron by individuals vaccinated or previously infected with Alpha, Beta, Gamma, or Delta variants is significantly reduced or ineffective. Third vaccine doses can boost neutralization titers against Omicron, and high titers are observed in both vaccinated individuals and those infected with the Delta variant. Most potent monoclonal antibodies and antibodies under development are unable to effectively neutralize Omicron due to mutations in its Spike protein. Omicron has structural changes compared to earlier viruses and utilizes mutations that enhance its binding to ACE2, allowing for immune escape. This results in a large number of mutations in the ACE2 binding site and a rebalancing of receptor affinity similar to earlier pandemic viruses.

Omicron escapes the majority of existing SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies

Yunlong Cao et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 contains 15 mutations in the receptor-binding domain, leading to evasion of over 85% of tested neutralizing antibodies. Different epitope groups of neutralizing antibodies are affected to varying degrees by single mutations of Omicron. Antibodies targeting the conserved region of sarbecovirus remain most effective against Omicron.

Safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of VV116, an oral nucleoside analog against SARS-CoV-2, in Chinese healthy subjects

Hong-jie Qian et al.

Summary: VV116, an oral drug candidate against SARS-CoV-2, showed satisfactory safety and tolerability in healthy subjects, with no significant impact from food intake. These findings support further investigation of VV116 in patients with COVID-19.

COVID-19 and the Liver: Lessons Learnt from the EAST and the WEST, A Year Later

Sirina Ekpanyapong et al.

Summary: COVID-19 patients exhibit various hepato-biliary manifestations, including infrequent and chronic cholangiopathy. The etiology of liver injury is multifactorial, with limited evidence of direct SARS-CoV-2 infection of the liver. Patients with liver diseases should approach COVID-19 cautiously, and vaccination is strongly recommended.
