SARS-CoV-2 RBD nanoparticle vaccine shows potent neutralization against variants in clinical studies
Summary
This article describes the characterization of a two-component protein nanoparticle vaccine platform (RBD-NP) that displays 60 copies of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein RBD. The vaccine, adjuvanted with AS03 and branded as SKYCovione™, has shown robust neutralizing antibody and CD4 T cell responses in clinical trials, met primary endpoints in Phase III, and received regulatory licensure. The paper details the biophysical properties, stability, and neutralizing activity of the immunogens against SARS-CoV-2 variants.

· 3 pulledWe previously described a two-component protein nanoparticle vaccine platform that displays 60 copies of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein RBD (RBD-NP).
The vaccine, when adjuvanted with AS03, was shown to elicit robust neutralizing antibody and CD4 T cell responses in Phase I/II clinical trials.
The vaccine met its primary co-endpoints in a Phase III trial, and has been licensed by multiple regulatory authorities under the brand name SKYCovioneTM.
