SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine

Generic Name
SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine
Drug Type
Biotech

Overview

SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine (ARCoV) is a novel mRNA coronavirus vaccine that consists of a lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated mRNA encoding the receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2. It is the first COVID-19 mRNA vaccine to be approved for clinical trials in China, and was co-developed by Abogen Biosciences, Walvax Biotechnolgoy Co., Ltd. and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Academy of Military Sciences. Preclinical studies in mice and non-human primates has shown that intramuscular administration of ARCoV elicited a Th1-biased cellular response and robust antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Manufactured as a liquid, ARCoV is thermostable at room temperature for at least 1 week. As of July 2020, the vaccine candidate is set for Phase 1 clinical trials to investigate for safety, tolerance, and immunogenicity (ChiCTR2000034112).
