Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Background SOBERANA 02 is a COVID19 conjugate vaccine candidate based on SARS CoV2 recombinant RBD conjugated to tetanus toxoid. SOBERANA Plus antigen is dimericRBD. Here we report safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity from phase I and IIa clinical trials using two doses SOBERANA 02 (homologous protocol) and three doses (homologous) or heterologous (with SOBERANA Plus) protocols. Method We performed an open label, monocentric, sequential and adaptive phase I for evaluating safety, reactogenicity and exploring immunogenicity of SOBERANA 02 in two formulations (15 and 25 microg) in 40 subjects, 19 to 59 years old. Phase IIa was open label including 100 volunteers 19 to 80 years, receiving two doses of SOBERANA 02 25 microg. In both trials, half of volunteers received a third dose of SOBERANA 02, half received a heterologous dose of SOBERANA Plus 50 microg. Primary outcomes were safety and reactogenicity. The secondary outcome was vaccine immunogenicity evaluated by anti RBD IgG ELISA, molecular neutralization test of RBDhACE2 interaction, live virus neutralization test and specific T cells response. Results The most frequent AE was local pain, other AEs had frequencies lower than 5%. No serious related AEs were reported. Phase IIa confirmed the safety results in 60 to 80 years subjects. In phase I SOBERANA 02 25 microg elicited higher immune response than SOBERANA 02 15 microg; in consequence, the higher dose progressed to phase IIa. Phase IIa results confirmed the immunogenicity of SOBERANA 02 25 microg. even in 60 to 80 age range. Two doses of SOBERANA02 25 microg elicited an immune response similar to that of the Cuban Convalescent Serum Panel; it was higher after both the homologous and heterologous third doses; the heterologous scheme showing a higher immunological response. Conclusions SOBERANA 02 was safe and immunogenic in persons aged 19 to 80 years, eliciting neutralizing antibodies and specific T cell response. Highest immune responses were obtained in the heterologous three doses protocol. Trial registry https//rpcec.sld.cu/trials/RPCEC00000340 and https//rpcec.sld.cu/trials/RPCEC00000347
