AZD1222 US Phase III primary analysis confirms safety and efficacy

The Pharma Data

It uses a replication-deficient chimpanzee viral vector based on a weakened version of a common cold virus (adenovirus) that causes infections in chimpanzees and contains the genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 virus spike protein. The Phase III D8110C00001 trial is part of this funding agreement. Source link:[link].
