The largest reported contract for a coronavirus vaccine has gone to a pharma giant that’s yet to start clinical trials
$1 billion into
vaccine research, development and clinical testing. The company announced Monday it had chosen a specific vaccine candidate it now expects human clinical studies to go ahead, at the latest, by September 2020. It anticipates the first batches of vaccine to be available for emergency use in early 2021.
Earlier this month, Johnson & Johnson also announced a collaboration with the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in developing potential preventive vaccine candidates for COVID-19. The company is looking to use the same technologies it used for developing vaccine candidates for ebola, zika and HIV. At the time, the firm announced it hoped to identify a vaccine candidate by the end of the month for clinical trials.
Elsewhere, BARDA has announced it’s working with another pharma company, Sanofi Pasteur, on a different kind of vaccine. As described by BARDA, Sanofi will create an exact genetic match to proteins of the virus. “The protein’s DNA will be combined with DNA from a virus harmless to humans and used to rapidly produce large quantities of antigen which stimulate the immune system to protect against the virus.
