hello world...among the top pharamcy industry, the news are for August release of the vaccine
Altimmune
Treatment: Single-dose, intranasal vaccine designed to provide systemic immunity
Type: Vaccine based on Altimmune’s proprietary platform vaccine technology, which the company applied in developing NasoVAX, the company’s influenza vaccine candidate that showed positive Phase IIa results.
Status: Altimmune said February 28 that it completed the design and synthesis of the vaccine, and was advancing it toward animal testing and manufacturing. Clinical testing of the vaccine could start as early as August. The company also said it was “actively engaged in discussions with a number of potential partners.”
Moderna
Treatment: mRNA-1273
Type: Novel lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-encapsulated mRNA vaccine against the COVID-19 encoding for a prefusion stabilized form of the Spike (S) protein.
Status: Moderna said February 24 that it shipped the first batch of mRNA-1273 to the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) for use in a planned Phase I study in the U.S. The primary aim of the Phase I open-label, dose-ranging trial study (NCT04283461), which had yet to recruit patients at deadline, is to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of a 2-dose vaccination schedule of mRNA-1273, given 28 days apart, across 3 dosages in healthy adults. Moderna designed the vaccine in collaboration with investigators at the NIAID Vaccine Research Center (VRC).
