Safety and Immunogenicity of CpG 1018 and Aluminium Hydroxide-adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 S-2P Protein Vaccine MVC-COV1901: Interim Results of a Large-scale, Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled Phase 2 Trial in Taiwan (Lancet Respiratory Medicine) MVC-COV1901, a recombinant protein vaccine containing pre-fusion-stabilised spike protein S-2P adjuvanted with CpG 1018 and aluminium hydroxide, has been shown to be well tolerated with a good safety profile in healthy adults aged 20–49 years in a phase 1 trial, and provided a good cellular and humoral immune responses. We present the interim safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity results of a phase 2 clinical trial of the MVC-COV1901 vaccine in Taiwan.
