Good news on the vaccine front! Biotechnology company Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA) has been working on a vaccine to prevent coronavirus infections.
Yesterday, the results of an early Phase 1 study were published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The data showed the vaccine triggered an immune response with only mild side effects. The side effects included fatigue, chills, headache, muscle pain and pain at the injection. All of those are associated with other vaccines as well.
Moderna isn’t the first vaccine maker to publish promising Phase 1 data. Yet it is the first to publish its data in a major peer-reviewed medical journal. Peer-reviewed data is typically more reliable then data simply published by independent researchers.
Based on the success of this study, Moderna is beginning a large Phase 3 trial later this month. That’s the final step before submitting a new drug or vaccine for regulatory approval.
The Phase 1 study involved 45 healthy adults, who received to vaccinations 28 days apart at different doses. Moderna wants to enroll 30,000 volunteers for its Phase 3 trial.
The company has said that if all goes well and according to schedule, it could begin mass production next year. It believes it could produce between 500 million and 1 billion doses of the vaccine in 2021.
