China Approves Trials For Two More COVID-19 Vaccines by SyrusdeHansome(m): 4:43pm On Apr 14, 2020 |
That day the US drug developer Moderna said it had
begun human tests for their vaccine with the US
National Institutes of Health.
“Vaccination of subjects during the first phase of
clinical trials and the recruitment of volunteers for the
second phase of clinical trials began on April 9,” Wu
said.
“It’s the world’s first novel coronavirus vaccine to
initiate Phase II clinical studies.”
There are currently no approved vaccines or
medication for the COVID-19 disease, which has
killed more than 120,000 people worldwide and
infected nearly two million.
Chinese teams were also racing to develop vaccines
using other methods including using attenuated
influenza virus vectors or injecting specific nucleic
acid.
Several of these projects are currently undergoing
animal testing and quality inspections, Wu said.
“The vaccines using the above technical methods are
expected to be submitted for clinical trials in April
and May,” he added.
Experts have raised hopes that a vaccine could be
ready within 18 months.
