Sputnik Light Vaccine Description 2022
The Sputnik Light single-dose recombinant human adenovirus 26 serotypes (rAd26) COVID-19 vaccine is based on a proven and well-studied platform of human adenoviral vectors that cause the common cold and have been around for thousands of years, as demonstrated by the Russian Gamaleya Center during laboratory tests.
Adenoviruses are found in the respiratory tract and cause acute respiratory infections, which have become a commonly used virus to engineer vectors. Gamaleya Center scientists have worked with adenoviral vector-based vaccines since the 1980s and are leaders in developing these vaccines.
The effectiveness of Sputnik Light was found to be 79.4% based on the analysis of data from the 28th day after receiving immunization by citizens of the Russian Federation as part of the mass vaccination program in the period December 5, 2020 - to April 15, 2021. Furthermore, the Sputnik Light vaccine developed virus-neutralizing antibodies in 91.67% of individuals on the 28th-day post-immunization. And the cellular immune response against the S Protein of SARS-CoV-2 develops in 100% of volunteers on the 10th day.
On May 6, 2021, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, the National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology, and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) announced the single-component Sputnik Light vaccine registration. Sputnik Light international clinical trials included people from Moscow, Russia, Ghana, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries.
Immunizing individuals with pre-existing immunity against the SARS-CoV-2 virus with Sputnik Light can increase antigen-specific IgG antibodies by more than 40x in 100% of subjects ten days after immunization. On May 24, 2021, the RDIF announced data from a study conducted by the Institute of Virology of the National University of Cordoba (Argentina) and the authorities of Cordoba, which confirmed that 85.5% of individuals developed IgG antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus on the 14th day after receiving the first injection of Sputnik V.
A Gamaleya Center analysis announced on October 13, 2021, found the vaccine is more than 75% effective among subjects under 60. In addition, Sputnik Light also provides much higher efficacy against severe disease and hospitalizations. The analysis was based on data from 28,000 participants who had received a single dose of Sputnik Light, compared with a control group of 5.6 million individuals who were not vaccinated. The data used in the study was collected in July 2021 in Moscow.
The Lancet Europe published a study that conducted an open-label, prospective, non-randomized phase 1/2 clinical trial to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the "Sputnik Light" vaccine in a single center in Russia on November 2, 2021. Results Interpretation - The single-dose rAd26 vector-based Sputnik Light vaccine has a good safety profile and induces strong humoral and cellular immune responses in seronegative and seropositive participants.
The Russian sovereign wealth fund (RDIF), based in Moscow, was established in 2011. In addition, the Federal Government Budgetary Institution, "National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology," is one of Russia's oldest scientific research centers and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1991.
Sputnik Light Indication
Sputnik Light is indicated to build immunity to SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19 disease. The RDIF announced on June 2, 2021, that the Sputnik Light vaccine demonstrated 78.6-83.7% efficacy among the elderly, according to real-world data collected by the Ministry of Health of the Buenos Aires province. According to the data from Argentina, over 186,000 people aged 60-79, more than 40,000 of whom received a shot of Sputnik Light, the infection rate between the 21st and 40th day from the date of receiving the first dose was only 0.446%.
On June 6, 2021, the journal Nature published an article: Mounting evidence suggests Sputnik COVID vaccine is safe and effective. In conclusion, 'Several other studies are currently underway in countries that have approved Sputnik, including Argentina, Venezuela, Russia, and Turkey, which should help build a more accurate picture of the vaccine's safety and efficacy.' In particular, data from the Ministry of Health of the Buenos Aires province (Argentina) shows 78.6-83.7% efficacy among the elderly. And in Paraguay, Sputnik Light is 93.5% effective during the ongoing vaccination campaign, according to the country's Ministry of Health.
Data from a non-peer-reviewed study published on December 23, 2021, show that vaccination with Sputnik V and revaccination with Sputnik Light induces a robust neutralizing antibody response. The Philippines began using Sputnik Light as a 'booster' on January 28, 2022.
Sputnik Light Omicron BA.x Variant
On June 13, 2022, a study published by the journal Vaccines concluded: The effectiveness of protection against hospitalization with COVID-19 in our study was 85.9% (95% CI 83.0–88.0%) for those who received more than one dose. It was 87.6% (95% CI 85.4–89.5%) and 97.0% (95% CI 95.9–97.8%) for those who received more than two or three doses.'
As of August 2022, the U.S. NIH's OpenData portal evaluates vaccine in vitro effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 virus variants, such as Omicron. A small preliminary laboratory study published on January 19, 2022, has shown that Omicron-neutralising antibodies of people vaccinated with Russia's Sputnik V vaccine did not decline as much as mRNA vaccines.
A non-peer-reviewed study published on December 21, 2021, found neutralizing antibodies in the blood serum of people vaccinated with Sputnik V, as well as those revaccinated with Sputnik Light after Sputnik V. Results showed that a decrease in the level of neutralizing antibodies was observed against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant in comparison to B.1.1.1 variant. Analysis of the sera of individuals vaccinated with Sputnik V 6-12 months ago showed a decrease in neutralizing antibodies by 11.76 folds. While no direct comparison with other COVID-19 vaccine declines has been made in this study, we note their reported reduction in antibody neutralization at a much more significant level of 40-84 times. At the same time, the analysis of sera of individuals vaccinated with Sputnik V and then revaccinated Sputnik Light showed that 2-3 months after vaccination, the decrease in the level of neutralizing antibodies against the Omicron variant was 7.13 folds. Despite the decrease in NtAb, we showed that all revaccinated individuals had NtAb to Omicron variant. Moreover, the NtAb level to Omicron variant in revaccinated sera is slightly higher than NtAb to B.1.1.1 in vaccinated sera.
Sputnik Light Dosage
Sputnik Light is the first component (recombinant human adenovirus 26 serotype (rAd26) of the Sputnik V vaccine, which was Approved in Russia in August 2020. It is manufactured as a liquid formulation containing 10¹¹ vp per 0·5 mL/dose. For intramuscular injection Composition for one dose (0.5 ml): Active substance: recombinant serotype 26 adenoviral particles containing the SARS-CoV-2 S protein gene, in the amount of (1.0±0.5) x 10*11 particles per dose.
Sputnik Light Adverse Events
As of July 18, 2021, no serious adverse events were registered after vaccination with Sputnik Light. In addition, real-world vaccination data in Serbia on May 28, 2021, confirmed no vaccine-related severe adverse events. Furthermore, the Ministry of Health of the Province of Buenos Aires, Brazil, reported on July 30, 2021, according to the preliminary results of the ongoing investigation, the safety study on the combinations of the Sputnik V vaccines with Sinopharm and with AstraZeneca vaccines did not report any serious adverse events.
On August 18, 2021, the Sputnik Light vaccine was found highly effective against COVID-19 among more than 320,000 subjects who had received the vaccine based on the data collected by Paraguay's Ministry of Health, July 30, 2021.
Sputnik Light Cost
The cost of the Sputnik Light vaccine could be less than $10, while it has simple storage requirements, at +2 +8, which provides for easy logistics.
Sputnik Light and AZD2816 Co-Development
The RDIF announced interim results of the trials on February 14, 2022, involving 100 volunteers in Russia and 100 volunteers in Azerbaijan; the Sputnik Light and AZD2816 vaccine combination demonstrated an acceptable safety profile. Volunteers receive intramuscular injections of the AstraZeneca vaccine and the Ad26-S component of the Sputnik V vaccine in different sequences at 28-day intervals. The research in Azerbaijan began in February 2021. In addition to Azerbaijan, a clinical study of a combination of vaccines within a global program is being implemented in the United Arab Emirates and Russia.
