=== Efficacy ===
In September 2021, SCB-2019 announced Phase III results showing 67.2% efficacy against all cases of COVID-19 of any degree of severity, 83.7% efficacy against moderate-to-severe disease, and 100% against hospitalisation and severe cases.<ref name=":6" /><ref name=":7" /> Additionally, the vaccine was 79% effective against all cases of [[Delta variant|Delta]].

Clover expects to submit its Phase III results for approval by the [[World Health Organization]], [[European Medicines Agency]], and [[National Medical Products Administration|China's NMPA]] in the fourth quarter of 2021.<ref name=":7" />
 
==== Efficacy against variants ====
In Phase III trials, SCB-2019 showed efficacy of 81.7% for moderate-to-severe cases of COVID-19 caused by [[Delta variant|Delta]], 91.8% for [[SARS-CoV-2 Gamma variant|Gamma]], and 58.6% for [[SARS-CoV-2 Mu variant|Mu]].<ref name=":6" /><ref name=":7" /> 56 Delta cases, 37 Mu cases, and 13 Gamma cases were recorded during the trials.<ref name=":6" />

RatherSubunit thanvaccines injectingcontain aparts wholeof virus, subunit vaccines containsthe virus particles specially selected to stimulate an immune response, without including the entire virus. Because the fragments are incapable of causing disease, subunit vaccines are considered very safe. Subunit vaccines in widespread use include the [[Hepatitis B vaccine]] and [[Pertussis vaccine]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=What are protein subunit vaccines and how could they be used against COVID-19?|url=https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/what-are-protein-subunit-vaccines-and-how-could-they-be-used-against-covid-19|access-date=2021-07-08|website=www.gavi.org|language=en}}</ref>
 
SCB-2019 has a trimeric form of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S-Trimer) combined with one of two different [[Immunologic adjuvant|adjuvants]] AS03 ([[GlaxoSmithKline]]) or CpG/Alum (Dynavax).<ref name="Hotez">{{cite journal | vauthors = Hotez PJ, Bottazzi ME | title = Whole Inactivated Virus and Protein-Based COVID-19 Vaccines | journal = Annual Review of Medicine | volume = 73 | issue = 1 | pages = 55–64 | date = January 2022 | pmid = 34637324 | doi = 10.1146/annurev-med-042420-113212 | s2cid = 238747462 | doi-access = free }}</ref><ref name=":1" /> The vaccine displays the spike protein in its natural three-part form, leading to a potentially better immune response.<ref name=":3" /> The vaccine employsis similar technology to other protein subunit COVID-19 vaccines including [[Novavax COVID-19 vaccine|Novavax]], [[Abdala (vaccine)|Abdala]], and [[ZF2001]].<ref>{{Cite news| vauthors = Zimmer C, Corum J, Wee SL |title=Coronavirus Vaccine Tracker|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|date=10 June 2020 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/science/coronavirus-vaccine-tracker.html|access-date=2021-07-08|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

=== Phase I & II trials ===
In June 2020, Phase I trial were launched to assess safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity at multiple dose levels with 151 participants in [[Perth]], Australia using 2 separate adjuvants, AS03 and CpG/Alum.<ref>{{ClinicalTrialsGov|NCT04405908|SCB-2019 as COVID-19 Vaccine}}</ref><ref name="clover-cta">{{cite web|date=20 June 2020|title=Clover Biopharmaceuticals starts Phase I Covid-19 vaccine trial|url=https://www.clinicaltrialsarena.com/news/clover-vaccine-covid-19-trial/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201011084945/https://www.clinicaltrialsarena.com/news/clover-vaccine-covid-19-trial//|archive-date=11 October 2020|access-date=25 June 2020|publisher=Clinical Trials Arena}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> In results published in ''[[The Lancet|]]''The Lancet'']], SCB-2019 resulted in a strong immune responses against COVID-19, with high viral neutralizing activity (antibody geometric mean titres were 1567–4452 with AS03 and 174–2440 with CpG/Alum). Both adjuvanted vaccines were well tolerated and determined to be suitable for further clinical development.<ref name=":1" />
 
In August 2021, a Phase II trial will launch to assess immunogenicity and safety with 800 participants in China.<ref>{{ClinicalTrialsGov|NCT04954131|Immunogenicity and Safety Study of Adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 (SCB-2019) Vaccine in Adults in China}}</ref>

=== Efficacy against variants ===
In September 2021, results published in ''[[The Journal of Infectious Diseases]]'' showed SCB-2019 induced antibodies responses up to 184 days in the Phase I trial.
