Arcturus’ production partner Vinbiocare which is a subsidiary of Vingroup, Vietnam’s largest private industrial conglomerate is sponsoring and fully funding the ARCT-154 Phase 1/2/3 clinical investigation, which is a randomized, observer-blind, placebo-controlled design. The research will recruit up to 21,000 people in three stages to investigate the safety, immunogenicity, and effectiveness of the SARS-CoV-2 self-amplifying mRNA vaccine in adults 18 years and older. Safety and effectiveness are the primary objectives, with immunogenicity being assessed in a subset. The trial vaccination will be given in two doses separated by 28 days. After 6 months, individuals who received the placebo will get the active vaccination. For one year, all participants will be tracked. If the clinical study passes intermediate evaluations, the Vietnam Ministry of Health is expected to grant Emergency Use Approval (EUA) in December 2021.
