ABSTRACT
BackgroundThe pandemic of coronavirus disease-19 (Covid-19) continues to afflict the lives and livelihoods of many as global demand for vaccine supply remains unmet. MethodsPhase 1 of this trial (N=42) assessed the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of ascending levels of one-dose ARCT-021, a self-amplifying mRNA vaccine against Covid-19. Phase 2 (N=64) tested two-doses of ARCT-021 given 28 days apart. Both young and older adults were enrolled. The primary safety outcomes were local and systemic solicited adverse events (AEs) reported immediately and up to 7 days post-inoculation and unsolicited events reported up to 56 days after inoculation. Secondary and exploratory outcomes were antibody and T cell responses to vaccination, respectively. ResultsARCT-021 was well tolerated up to one 7.5 g dose and two 5.0 g doses. Local solicited AEs, namely injection-site pain and tenderness, as well as systemic solicited AEs, such as fatigue, headache and myalgia, were more common in ARCT-021 than placebo recipients, and in younger than older adults. Seroconversion rate for anti-S IgG was 100% in all cohorts except for the 1 g one-dose in younger adults and the 7.5 g one-dose in older adults, which were each 80%. Neutralizing antibody titers increased with increasing dose although the responses following 5.0 g and 7.5 g ARCT-021 were similar. Anti-S IgG titers overlapped with those in Covid-19 convalescent plasma. ARCT-021 also elicited T-cell responses against the S glycoprotein. ConclusionTaken collectively, the favorable safety and immunogenicity profiles support further clinical development of ARCT-021.
