Sinopharm BBIBP-CorV, also known as the Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine,[1] is one of two inactivated virus COVID-19 vaccines developed by Sinopharm. It completed Phase III trials in Argentina , Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco, Pakistan , Peru, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with over 60,000 participants.[2] BBIBP-CorV shares similar technology with CoronaVac and BBV152, other inactivated virus vaccines for COVID-19.[3]

Based on data provided to WHO, the vaccine shows 78.1% efficacy against symptomatic COVID-19 in phase III trials, (21 cases in vaccinated group vs. 95 cases in placebo group). Real-world test-negative analysis in Bahrain (based on 14 days post 2nd dose) indicated a vaccine effectiveness of 90% for adults aged 18-59, and 91% for those 60 year old or older.[4] In December 2020, the UAE previously announced interim results showing 86% efficacy.[5] While mRNA vaccines like the Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and mRNA-1273 showed higher efficacy of over 90%, those present distribution challenges for some nations as they require deep-freeze facilities and trucks. BIBP-CorV could be transported and stored at normal refrigerated temperatures.[6]

BBIBP-CorV is being used in vaccination campaigns by certain countries in Asia,[7][8][9] Africa,[10][11][12] South America,[13][14][15] and Europe.[16][17][18] Sinopharm expects to produce one billion doses of BBIBP-CorV in 2021.[19] By May, Sinopharm had supplied 200 million doses.[20]

On 7 May 2021, the World Health Organization approved the vaccine for use in COVAX.[21][22]

Technology

As an inactivated vaccine like CoronaVac and BBV152, BBIBP-CorV uses a more traditional technology that is similar to the inactivated polio vaccine. Initially, a sample of SARS-CoV-2 from China capable of rapid multiplication was used to grow large quantities of the virus using vero cells. From then on, the viruses are soaked in beta-propiolactone, which deactivates them by binding to their genes, while leaving other viral particles intact. The resulting inactivated viruses are then mixed with an aluminium-based adjuvant.[3]

Efficacy

Based on data provided to WHO, the vaccine shows 78.1% efficacy against symptomatic COVID-19 in phase III trials, (21 cases in vaccinated group vs. 95 cases in placebo group). Real-world test-negative analysis in Bahrain (based on 14 days post 2nd dose) indicated a vaccine effectiveness of 90% for adults aged 18-59, and 91% for those 60 year old or older.[4] Due to low participation in studies, WHO experts expressed very low confidence in the safety of BBIBP-CorV for people with comorbidities, pregnant women and the elderly, while being confident in its overall efficacy.[23]

In December 2020, UAE's Ministry of Health and Prevention announced the official registration of BBICP-CorV after an interim analysis of Phase III results showed BBIBP-CorV to have a 86% efficacy against COVID-19 infection.[24] The vaccine was 100% effective in preventing moderate and severe cases of the disease.[25] In April 2021, a study conducted by the Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre found the vaccine was 93% effective in preventing hospitalization and 95% effective against admission to intensive care. The study found no deaths related to Covid-19 in patients who had received both doses. It was unknown when the study was conducted or how many people were included in the research.[26]

COVID-19 variants

In February, lab studies of twelve serum samples taken from recipients of BBBP-CorV and ZF2001 retained neutralizing activity against 501.V2 variant although with weaker activity than against the original virus.[27] For BBIBP-CorV, geometric mean titers declined by 1.6-fold, from 110.9 to 70.9, which was less than antisera from mRNA vaccine recipients with a 6-folds decrease.[28] Preliminary clinical data from Novavax and Johnson & Johnson also showed they were less effective in preventing COVID-19 in South Africa, where the new variant is widespread.[27]

Clinical research

Main page: Medicine:COVID-19 vaccine

Phases I and II

In April 2020, China approved clinical trials for a candidate COVID-19 vaccine developed by Sinopharm's Beijing Institute of Biological Products (BBIBP-CorV)[29] and the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products (WIBP-CorV).[30] Both vaccines are chemically-inactivated whole virus vaccines for COVID-19.

On October 15, the Beijing Institute of Biological Products published results of its Phase I (192 adults) and Phase II (448 adults) clinical studies for the BBIBP-CorV vaccine, showing BBIBP-CorV to be safe and well-tolerated at all tested doses in two age groups. Antibodies were elicited against SARS-CoV-2 in all vaccine recipients on day 42. These trials included individuals older than 60.[29]

BIBP-CorV may have characteristics favorable for vaccinating people in the developing world. While mRNA vaccines, such as the Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine showed higher efficacy of +90%, mRNA vaccines present distribution challenges for some nations, as some may require deep-freeze facilities and trucks. By contrast, BIBP-CorV can be transported and stored at normal refrigeration temperatures.[31] While Pfizer and Moderna are among developers relying on novel mRNA technology, manufacturers have decades of experience with the inactivated virus technology Sinopharm is using.[31]

Controversies

Hayat-Vax

In February 2021, the UAE was reported of running a Covid-19 vaccination programme for wealthy people, who paid for access to the BBIBP-CorV vaccine. It was the Emirates’ personal strategy to “bring tourism into the area”, while it neglected the global scarcity of vaccine doses and the requirement to vaccinate the vulnerable.[152]

In March 2021, Sinopharm and the UAE-based firm, Group 42, announced the plans to rebrand the Chinese vaccine in Abu Dhabi and manufacture it under the name “Hayat-Vax”. The agreement was questioned as both sides failed to release the Phase III clinical trial data. It was also believed to be a strategy of erasing doubts around the credibility of the vaccine by changing its name.[153]

Unauthorized use in Asia

On December 30, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said in an interview that at least one minister and president Rodrigo Duterte's bodyguards were provided BBIBP-CorV which were "smuggled" but that he felt what happened was "justified". Brigadier General Jesus Durante, head of the Presidential Security Guard (PSG), said he felt compelled and "took the risk" to have some of his men vaccinated because they provide close-in security to Duterte, who at 75 is highly vulnerable to COVID-19.[154] In April, president Rodrigo Duterte received the vaccine after the food and drug regulator approved compassionate use of 10,000 doses for his security team.[86]
