We present the results of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center clinical trial of the tolerability, safety, and immunogenicity of the inactivated whole virion concentrated purified coronavirus vaccine CoviVac in adult volunteers aged 18-60. Safety of the vaccine was assessed in 398 volunteers who received two doses of the vaccine (n=298) or placebo (n=100). The studied vaccine has shown good tolerability and safety. No deaths, serious adverse events (AE), or other significant AE related to vaccination have been detected. The most common AE in vaccinated participants was pain at the injection site (p<0.05). Immunogenicity assessment was performed in 167 volunteers (122 vaccinated and 45 in Placebo Group) separately for the participants who were anti-SARS-CoV-2 nAB negative (69/122 in Vaccine Group and 28/45 in Placebo Group) or positive (53/122 in Vaccine Group and 17/45 in Placebo Group) at screening. At Day 42 after the first immunization the seroconversion rate in participants who were seronegative at screening was 86.9% with average the geometric mean neutralizing antibody (nAB) titer of 1:20. Statistically significant (p<0.05) increase of IFN-{gamma} production by peptide-stimulated T-cells was observed at Days 14 and 21 after the first immunization. In participants who were seropositive at screening but had nAB titers below 1:256 the rate of 4-fold increase in nAB levels was 85.2%, while in the participants with nAB titers >1:256 the rate of 4-fold increase in nAB levels was below 45%. For the participants who were seropositive at screening the second immunization did not lead to a significant increase in nAB titers. In conclusion, inactivated vaccine CoviVac has shown good tolerability and safety, with 86.9% seroconversion rates in participants, who were seronegative at screening. In participants who were seropositive at screening and had nAB titers below 1:256, a single immunization lead to a 4-fold increase in nAB levels in 85.2% cases.
