Results

Adverse events

In a phase I trial (COVID-19 Vaccine Study), intranasal coronavirus vaccine (AdCOVID) was well tolerated with an overall adverse event profile similar to intranasal saline placebo [2] .

Immunogenicity

In a phase I trial (COVID-19 Vaccine Study), intranasal coronavirus vaccine (AdCOVID) demonstrated lower than expected immune responses for each of the immune parameters tested. Although antibodies were detected that bound the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and neutralized the virus in a subset of participants, the magnitude of the response and the percent of participants responding to AdCOVID were substantially lower than what had been demonstrated for other vaccines already authorized for emergency use [2] .
