Leading infectious disease expert anthony fauci said on monday that the progression from sequencing the coronavirus to getting moderna's potential vaccine into its phase three trial is the best we, in the united states, have ever done. The other three are being tested in brazil and the u.k., according to the world health organization. Collins said that three more phase 3 trials would be starting soon.
The purpose of a phase 1 clinical trial is to establish whether or not the drug or vaccine being investigated is safe.
Meanwhile, clinical trials of a new potential coronavirus vaccine developed by janssen, part of johnson &johnson, are set to begin. Half the participants will receive the vaccine candidate, and the other half will get a placebo. Including moderna's vaccine candidate, just four potential vaccines have advanced to phase 3 trials so far. We are indebted to the participants and investigators who now begin the work of the cove study itself.
