DS-5670a, a novel mRNA-encapsulated lipid nanoparticle vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2: Results from a phase 2 clinical study
Abstract
Background DS-5670a is a vaccine candidate for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) harnessing a novel modality composed of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) encoding the receptor-binding domain (RBD) from the spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles. Here, we report the safety, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetic profile of DS-5670a from a phase 2 clinical trial in healthy adults who were immunologically naïve to SARS-CoV-2. Methods The study consisted of an open-label, uncontrolled, dose-escalation part and a double-blind, randomized, uncontrolled, 2-arm, parallel-group part. A total of 80 Japanese participants were assigned to receive intramuscular DS-5670a, containing either 30 or 60 µg of mRNA, as two injections administered 4 weeks apart. Safety was assessed by characterization of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Immunogenicity was assessed by neutralization titers against SARS-CoV-2, anti-RBD immunoglobulin (Ig)G levels, and SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific T cell responses. Plasma pharmacokinetic parameters of DS-5670a were also evaluated. Results Most solicited TEAEs were mild or moderate with both the 30 and 60 µg mRNA doses. Four participants (10 %) in the 60 µg mRNA group developed severe redness at the injection site, but all cases resolved without treatment. There were no serious TEAEs and no TEAEs leading to discontinuation. Humoral immune responses in both dose groups were greater than…

In the citing paper
“Another mRNA vaccine, DS-5670a, which targets the RBD of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein, has demonstrated a favorable protective effect against SARS-CoV-2 and a clinically acceptable safety profile, and has been approved in Japan as a booster vaccine [6].”

In the citing paper
“Due to its accessibility and central function in viral entry, the S protein, particularly the RBD, has been widely recognized as a key antigenic target for the development of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines [[5], [6], [7], [8], [9]].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
