| Popis: | A novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), emerged in the sprawling capital of Central China’s Hubei province Wuhan in 2019. Since late 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has been responsible for a global pandemic that has resulted in 405,961,201 confirmed cases of infection and 5,789,567 deaths as of February 11, 2022, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Here we report the development of an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidate and show that its efficacy and safety in preclinical studies warrant further clinical evaluation. Efficiency and possible side effects of vaccine candidate on different doses were evaluated using histopathology, K18 hACE2 transgenic mice challenge, T-cell response, and serum neutralization test in Balb/c mice. All pilot production and propagation experiments of SARS-CoV-2 were performed in the Level 3 Negative Pressure Biosafety Facility (BSL3/ABSL-3) according to COVID-19 interim guidance of WHO. All analytical studies have shown that the quality control parameters of the vaccine candidate meet the requirements for inactivated viral vaccines according to European Pharmacopeia. The vaccine candidate (KOCAK-19) has been authorized by the Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency and has now entered phase 2 clinical development (NCT04838080).
